Book Description
Grand in its sweep, this survey of the sacred writings of the major religions of the world offers a thoughtful introduction to the ideas and beliefs upon which great faiths are built. Under the expert guidance of John Bowker, a religious scholar and author of international stature, readers explore the key texts of Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jain, Sikh, Buddhist, Parsi, Confucian, Daoist, and Shinto traditions. The author discusses some 400 books, among them such well-known sacred texts as the Bible and the Quran, but also spiritual writings by theologians, philosophers, poets, and others. Bowker provides clear and illuminating commentary on each text, describing the content and core tenets of the work and quoting pertinent passages. He also sets the writings in religious and historical contexts, showing how they have influenced—and in many cases continue to influence—artistic, musical, literary, and political traditions. The Message and the Book is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the meaning and the deep significance of primary religious texts of civilizations around the globe.

Book Description
When Mike and Beth Pasakarnis lost their son, Wolf, their world seemed to crumble around them. Until meeting Mike and Beth, Suzanne Giesemann--a former "by-the-book" Navy commander--had cautiously refrained from using the word "proof" when speaking of the eternal existence of the soul, but no longer. The evidence Mike and Beth shared from their son provided all the proof she needed. Little did Mike, Beth, or Suzanne know that their lives would soon become even more entangled by unexpected visits from Wolf's spirit. As Wolf repeatedly made his presence known, Suzanne was able to piece together Wolf's puzzle and reveal a startling message that has profound spiritual implications for us all. Travel along on Suzanne's incredible journey as she unravels the web of clues Wolf wove to ensure that his uplifting message of hope and joy is understood by all mankind.

Book Description
The Bible, argues the author, is “the best self-help book of all time.” Reaching beyond a conventionally religious readership, What’s the Message? gives a fresh and positive approach, including “ponderings” that make sense of the ancient words of Scripture in contemporary terms. With the Bible basic story line in view, the author enables readers to interact intelligibly with the big themes: love of God and love of neighbor, mercy and forgiveness, effective prayer, faith and assurance, service to others, and spiritual renewal. While this book introduces new readers to the Bible who could otherwise be intimidated by its size and antiquity, its goal is ultimately to encourage readers to engage in a fuller study of the Bible than they have previously pursued… or even thought possible.
