Bernstein, Ellen The Splendor of Creation Many people see the environmental crisis as a spiritual one, but author Ellen Bernstein sees the Book of Genesis as a guide to living peaceably with the Earth. The creation story, according to Bernstein, invites a deep appreciation of nature and may be the perfect muse for a world that is hungry for an integrated ecological vision. This message, however, is a hidden one. Thus the importance of The Splendor of Creation.

read for anyone considering a dramatic career change as Taylor demonstrates that

Following this approach, biblical scholars illustrate how a reading of the Bible from the perspective of Earth yields fresh insights, especially when seemingly anthropocentric texts offer the living voice and intrinsic value of Earth. The texts studied in this book are from Psalms, Prophets, Gospels, Romans, and Revelation as well as the intertestimental literature (Tobit and Wisdom of Solomon). |

Woelfel, JoniA Party of OneJoni Woelfel has done it again! Her words flow magically into the heart of the reader and "A Party of One" not only gives insight into a journey that is personal but rings truth within each of our own souls. There is a part of each of us on the pages and even though she gives us permission to read her work in any order that benefits us --- it would have been difficult for me to put it down and not flow with the pattern of ministry she unknowingly knits into the lives of all who read the book. This is a book that makes a wonderful gift. First, a gift to yourself and next a gift to pass on to anyone you cherish in life --- whether they are living alone or not.
