Book Description
Renowned philosopher J. Krishnamurti’s words, free from bias, possess a universal quality. In a stirring manner, they unveil the fundamental roots of our shared human predicaments. His profound insights break the confines of society’s accepted ways of thinking, resonating with anyone willing to listen. In Think On These Things, Krishnamurti examines with characteristic objectivity and insight the expressions of what we are pleased to call our culture, our education, religion, politics and tradition; and he throws much light on such basic motivations as ambition, greed and envy, the desire for security and the lust for power—all of which he shows to be deteriorating factors in human society. He points out with uncompromising directness the false elements in our attitudes and institutions, and the implications of his remarks are profound and far-reaching.

The topics range from politics, science, religion, technology, and music to economics, health, and sociology.

Book Description
In Lyrical Whimsy and Things to Think About, Tim Smith shares his collection of forty poems that touch on such poignant and relatable topics as true and unrequited love, dating, death, and friendship. In a compilation written in three parts and inspired by his experiences living in rural Illinois, Smith offers a glimpse inside his heart as he journeys from loss and heartache to joy and love. From his compelling poem I Would Rather Die Than Divorce You where Smith candidly chronicles the loneliness of emotional distance in a marriage, to the poem Everything With You where he touches on the moment he realized he just found his soul mate, Smith provides the world with his unique perspective on relationships. In an eclectic mix of old style flair and a modern whimsical flow, Smith eloquently captures the essence of what it is like inside the heart of a man who, on a pilgrimage to discover himself, ends up finding true love in the process.

Book Description
God has a mind. Created in God’s likeness, we too have a mind. God has thoughts, and we do too. How wonderful to think about what God thinks. How awesome the depths. How glorious the heights. How perfect the perceptions. Yet what about when our thoughts turn to sin? Think about These Things shows how the mind affects the soul, and that there is such a thing as sinful thoughts—which are just as offensive to God as sinful actions. Our minds are where we meet the likeness of God within us from creation, and because of this, our minds are important. Author and pastor Tom Kingery explains how we can safeguard our minds and souls from sinfulness, instead relishing in heavenly thoughts produced by faith. Then we can apply our minds to what is true, to what is honorable, to what is just, to what is pure, to what is pleasing, and to what is gracious. How important to you are your thoughts about God, about Christ, about the kingdom of heaven? What are the things you think about most? How do your thoughts affect you? How does what you think affect your behavior? How does what you think about others affect your attitudes toward them? While it’s not entirely true that we are what we think, our relationships with God, with ourselves, with others, and with the world are based on our thoughts. As the proverb says, “As he thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7 KJV).
