    Rediscover the Journey: A New Look at Naomi, the Rabbi’s Wife

    We are thrilled to share a brand-new book trailer for Miriam Finesilver’s captivating spiritual romance, Naomi, the Rabbi’s Wife.

    For those who haven’t yet met Naomi, she is an aspiring New York City actress whose soaring career is derailed by an unexpected pregnancy. Pressured into a heartbreaking choice, she finds that what was promised as freedom instead leaves a deep wound in her heart. Her subsequent search for peace and forgiveness leads her to the synagogue, where the unexpected happens: she meets and falls in love with Daniel, a young rabbi.

    They call it b’sheirt—the fingerprints of divine providence. But as Naomi builds a new life as a rabbi’s wife, the haunting nightmares of her past refuse to cease. Her desperate search for true healing eventually brings her to to make a phone call answering a TV ad, leading to a profound spiritual awakening that holds the power to save her soul, but threatens to tear her marriage apart.

    Whether you are returning to Naomi’s story or discovering it for the first time, this new trailer perfectly captures her emotional quest from the theater stage to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.

  • Rediscovering the Power of the Lord’s Prayer

    Rediscovering the Power of the Lord’s Prayer

    Prayer as Advent – God with Us

    While the Lord’s Prayer is ancient and familiar, three titles from Energion Publications invite readers to encounter it with fresh eyes. Whether you are looking for a radical spiritual wake-up call, a study on Christian character, or a guide connecting prayer to social justice, these books offer a path to diving deeper into the prayer of Jesus.

    Bold to Say

    Ignite your stalled engine and find power for a radical new start.

    Author: Dr. Geoffrey Lentz
    Focus: Spiritual Ignition and Radical Encounter

    If your prayer life feels stuck or routine, Bold To Say serves as a spiritual wake-up call. Dr. Geoffrey Lentz challenges readers to step out of “comfortable routines” and confront the “revolutionary nature” of this prayer. Rather than viewing the prayer as a simple recitation, this book presents it as a vehicle for surrender and transformation. It is designed for those seeking a bold encounter with a God who is described as both “transcendent and intimately present,” shaking up traditional views to reveal the prayer’s “radical, even weird, power”.

    Ultimate Allegiance

    Orient yourself, choose your direction, ensuring your loyalty and character are aligned correctly with God and community.

    Author: Dr. Bob Cornwall
    Focus: Theology, Character, and Community Allegiance

    Ultimate Allegiance

    “Prayer changes things,” but Ultimate Allegiance asks how prayer changes us. Dr. Bob Cornwall explores how the Lord’s Prayer serves as a means to correct our relationship with the Creator and transform our relationships with one another. This book argues that prayer should ultimately transform “theology… into character and action”. By examining the major petitions of the prayer, Cornwall pushes readers to answer the ultimate question of where they place their loyalty.

    This book is designed specifically for small group or church studies, particularly when used with its related study guide.

    One World

    A map for navigating the specific terrain of the modern world, connecting the spiritual journey to the physical environment around us.

    Author: Bruce Epperly
    Focus: Process Theology, Social Justice, and Practical Application

    In One World, best-selling author Bruce Epperly presents the Lord’s Prayer as a “spiritual GPS” for the modern world. Writing from a process theology perspective, Epperly moves beyond the image of a distant ruler to introduce a “relational, open-spirited” God who is a “fellow sufferer who understands”. This book connects the prayer directly to contemporary issues, such as economic justice, environmental stewardship, and community healing, challenging readers to be “heavenly minded and earthly good”.

    • Key Features: As part of the Topical Line Drives series, it offers deep scholarship in a concise format. It includes practical spiritual exercises like the Examen and Lectio Divina, as well as a study guide for conversation.

  • Idea Summary: Empathy

    Idea Summary: Empathy

    From the book The God of the Growing Edge

    Empathy plays a crucial role in social change by fostering understanding, compassion, and connection among individuals and communities. Here are some key points on the role of empathy in social change:

    1. Understanding Others’ Experiences: Empathy allows individuals to understand and share the feelings of others, particularly those who are marginalized or oppressed. This understanding is essential for recognizing the injustices and challenges faced by different groups.
    2. Building Compassion: Empathy cultivates compassion, motivating people to take action to alleviate the suffering of others. Compassionate individuals are more likely to engage in social activism and support policies that promote equality and justice.
    3. Creating Connection: Empathy helps build connections between diverse groups by highlighting common human experiences and emotions. These connections can bridge divides and foster solidarity, which is vital for collective action and social movements.
    4. Inspiring Advocacy: When people empathize with the struggles of others, they are more likely to advocate for change. Empathy-driven advocacy can lead to the development of inclusive policies and practices that address the needs of all community members.
    5. Promoting Non-Violence: Empathy encourages non-violent approaches to social change by emphasizing understanding and dialogue over conflict and aggression. Empathetic individuals are more likely to seek peaceful solutions to social issues.
    6. Enhancing Leadership: Empathetic leaders are better equipped to understand the needs and concerns of their constituents. This understanding enables them to make informed decisions that benefit the broader community and drive positive social change.
    7. Encouraging Inclusivity: Empathy promotes inclusivity by recognizing and valuing the diverse experiences and perspectives of all individuals. Inclusive practices are essential for creating equitable and just societies.

    In summary, empathy is a foundational element of social change, as it drives individuals to understand, connect with, and advocate for others. By fostering empathy, we can create a more compassionate and just world.

  • Half-Off Sale: The Song in the Night and Seeing the Psalter

    Half-Off Sale: The Song in the Night and Seeing the Psalter

    Both these books are 50% off from today through Cyber Monday.

    About Seeing the Psalter

    What is the key to both seeing and hearing the ancient poetry of the 150 Psalms?

    Seeing the Psalter is a detailed examination of patterns of repeated words and sounds in each psalm and between psalms. The obvious surface soundscape is generally obscured by translations from the Hebrew. The translation in this book preserves the sounds of repeated words and their patterned sequences so that readers can hear this primary technique of the ancient writers.

    It is true that parallelism is an important concept, but it is partially subjective, whereas repeated sounds are objective if they are preserved. It is also true that there is a third important factor, the music embedded in the Hebrew text itself. This translation includes an introduction to the music.

    These poems of the Psalter are among the most beloved of all poetry. Now they can be read in English paying attention to the patterns of word usage in the Hebrew.

    About The Song in the Night

    Can you imagine what it might have been like for the ancients to hear and perform their Scripture in song?

    The Song in the Night is a groundbreaking exploration of the musicality embedded in the Hebrew Bible. ​ Utilizing the deciphering key inferred by Suzanne Haïk‐Vantoura, MacDonald reveals the ancient melodies hidden within the text, offering a fresh perspective on these sacred writings. ​ This meticulously researched work, supported by advanced computer software, brings to life the beauty and depth of the Scriptures through music.

    Perfect for theologians, musicians, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith and art, this book invites readers to experience the Bible as a carefully constructed and beautiful song.
