Wisdom Of The Sadhu
$15.00
One of the first Indian Christian teachers to receive worldwide attention in modern times, Sundar Singh (1889-1929) wandered throughout Tibet and the Indian subcontinent as a sadhu, a penniless pilgrim wearing the traditional saffron robe. His distinctly Indian dedication and simple explanations of spiritual truths completely severed the link between Christian faith and western culture – so bringing to life the teachings of Jesus for millions of Indians.
Sundar Singh remains an unforgettable figure in the long tradition of religious pilgrims in India. Nearly every aspect of his life has become the stuff of legend for millions of people: his decision at age 16 to leave his wealthy home and live as a sadhu (beggar-saint), his intense bhakti (religious devotion), his miraculous experiences, his mystical encounters with Jesus, his simple yet profound parables, the peace that radiated almost tangiably from his presence.
No one who met him was unaffected. The fruits of his spiritual life. The uncompromising intesity of his message is a challenge – or scandal – to those satisfied with conventional Christianity.
In simple, readable prose, this brief anthology gives a tantalizing glimpse into the meditations and experiences of this man of God. His teachings are compiled and expressed in a language easily accessible to the modern reader. Interweaving Biographical and metaphysical, mystical and historical, the spirit of the gospel finds hands and feet in the life and words of Sadhu Sundar Singh.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$21.00Add to cartThe women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
