Popular author Jack Levison offers a fresh take on the Holy Spirit through a careful reading of every reference to the Spirit in the Gospels. Viewed through the lens of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, the Spirit shows up at odd times and in odd teachings - in desert sojourns, a strange saying about scorpions and snakes, and puzzling sayings about birth from above and springs from below. Grounded in scholarship yet accessible and inviting, this companion volume to Levison's A Boundless God analyzes key aspects of Jesus' experience of the Holy Spirit.

Levison’s books are incredibly rigorous in research but amicable in communicating well-observed and interpreted texts on the Holy Spirit in the Bible. He is excellent and interesting!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 695
Most Christians - including pastors - struggle to talk about their faith in a way that applies the power of the Christian Gospel to change people's lives. Timothy Keller is known for his insightful, down-to-earth sermons and talks that help people understand themselves, encounter Jesus, and apply the Bible to their lives. In this accessible guide for pastors and laypeople alike, Keller helps listeners learn to present the Christian message of grace in a more engaging, passionate, and compassionate way.

Keller excellent and accessible
Reviewed: 10-08-23
As a preacher with some experience, I find many homiletic books to be boring: not so with Keller! He is an excellent writer that speaks out of a wealth of experience and study, and, more importantly, from the riches of Christ discovered in the Holy Scriptures and in the delivery of sermons to actual people. He always surprises me and edifies me.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 74
Is faith in Jesus enough for salvation? Perhaps, says Matthew Bates, but we're missing pieces of the gospel. The biblical gospel can never change. Yet our understanding of the gospel must change. The church needs an allegiance shift. Popular pastoral resources on the gospel are causing widespread confusion. Bates shows that the biblical gospel is different, fuller, and more beautiful than we have been led to believe. He explains that saving faith doesn't come through trust in Jesus' death on the cross alone but through allegiance to Christ the king.

Very interesting!
Reviewed: 12-23-22
This is my first read of Bates’ concept on faith as allegiance. Very interesting and thought provoking. I enjoyed his more wholistic approach to faith versus a merely conceptual and abstract way of dealing with faith.

Many bemoan the decay of culture. But we all have a responsibility to care for culture, to nurture it in ways that help people thrive. In Culture Care artist Makoto Fujimura issues a call to cultural stewardship, in which we become generative and feed our culture's soul with beauty, creativity, and generosity. We serve others as cultural custodians of the future. This is a book for artists, but artists come in many forms.

Fujimura brings me into a world I thought I was not conversant of, only to discover I am already involved heavily in a world of art that pushes and pulls and makes my life better. Whether encouraging my own part or making me aware of the e art of others, Fujimura has helped me be aware of the beauty and work and strength of life. Thank you, Makoto!

Good information, way too short
- By Wilson B on 03-24-16
Reminiscent but inaccurate
Reviewed: 11-07-18
I listened eagerly to this Puerto Rico brief history, being a Puerto Rican myself. In general I liked it, but some inaccuracies made is perplexing to me:
1. Costa Rica is mentioned twice as if talking about Puerto Rico. Is that a performer mistake or the script mistake? And twice? Are you kidding me?
2. Names of people were mispronounced. To name one, the painter Francisco Oller’s lat name is sounded out as Oler, and not Oller (double Ls in Puerto Rican Spanish sound as the J in janitor). Although the performer has a beautiful voice, it was odd to hear her say some names of famous Puerto Rican’s wrongly.
Besides these critiques, I enjoyed the summary of my country, and I appreciate the effort, especially, that it was done in Spanish.

Excellent performance.
Reviewed: 04-12-16
Don Quijote is a classic and does not need my recommendation since history and generations of readers testify to its wonderful story excellently written. The performance of the reader is excellent, with wonderful articulation a of each character with different and well acted voices. Though not in Spaniard dialect, the reader's performance has been superpower. Thank you.

Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will—a boy on the run, a murderer—a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels. Each is searching—Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father—but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together...until they are split apart.

The story of the Golden Compass continues. Lyra is wonderfully accompanied by other hard fought friendships which suffer on their own, but also suffer together as a mission or missions unfold. Great story! Can't wait to read the next one.

Oscar Wilde brings his enormous gifts for astute social observation and sparkling prose to The Picture of Dorian Gray, the dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. This dandy, who remains forever unchanged---petulant, hedonistic, vain, and amoral---while a painting of him ages and grows increasingly hideous with the years, has been horrifying and enchanting readers for more than 100 years.
