The emerging quantum model presents a compelling picture of the structure and operation of the universe that is startlingly different, and often at odds with the image presented by Western theology. As quantum and demonstrdiscoveries move us into the most dynamic, and inevitable, paradigm shift experienced by humanity, we cannot avoid asking if spiritual seekers will feel obliged to abandon the wisdom of Jesus? Or, is it possible that Jesus’ words can be understood more completely in light of these discoveries? Can quantum physics tell us anything new about Jesus or shed light on what he

In the great cultural icon that was baseball slugger Mickey Mantle, we see America?s romance with boldness, its celebration of muscle, and its comfort in power during a time when might did make right. But if his life symbolized the great expectations of 1950s America, it also epitomized the dashed dreams of a troubled generation in the 1960s and its unrealistic hopes for achievement. Mickey Mantle: America?s Prodigal Son is both an explosive biography of one of the world?s most fascinating and enduring sports heroes and a telling look at the American society of his time.

This book demonstrates that Russia intends to re-emerge as a full fledged superpower before 2010 that would challenge America and China and potentially threaten a new arms race. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this goal is easily within the Kremlin’s grasp, but the cost to the Russian people and global security would be immense. A sophisticated strategy is proposed to dissuade President Vladimir Putin from pursuing this destabilizing course. The book also explains why the Soviet Union imploded, why Western experts missed the signs of the collapse, and how Russia has metamorphosized into

Newsweek called renowned minister Timothy Keller ?a C. S. Lewis for the twenty-first century? in a feature on his first book, The Reason for God. In that book, he offered a rational explanation of why we should believe in God. Now, in The Prodigal God, he uses one of the best-known Christian parables to reveal an unexpected message of hope and salvation. Taking his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity, Keller uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. Within that parable Jesus reveals God’s prodigal grace toward both the irr

Home Tonight follows the path of Henri Nouwens spiritual homecoming. More than three years prior to writing his great classic, The Return of the Prodigal Son, Nouwen suffered a personal breakdown followed by a time of healing solitude when he encountered Rembrandts famous painting. Within his solitude he reflected on and identified with the parables characters and experienced profound and inspiring life lessons.This captivating book was created from never-before-published materials that formed the basis of the small workshop inspired by Nouwens intimate encounter with Rembrandts painting.
