Letter to a Christian Nation [Secure]
by Sam Harris
|
|
Thousands of people have written to tell me that I am wrong not to believe in God. The most hostile of these communications have come from Christians. This is ironic, as Christians generally imagine that no faith imparts the virtues of love and forgiveness more effectively than their own. The truth is that many who claim to be transformed by Christ's love are deeply, even murderously, intolerant of criticism. While we may want to ascribe this to human nature, it is clear that such hatred draws c... more info>>

Eastertide: Prayers for Lent Through Easter from The Divine Hours [Secure]

""A wise rabbi once told me that it is not how many prayers we don't say that matters to God, but rather how many we do. That is important to all of us, but especially for beginners. If this is your first attempt to return to this most ancient of Christian practices, it is wise to remember that you are entering into a discipline and, like all disciplines, this one sits hard and heavy upon one at times. There are hours you will miss and/or some that you can't even begin to figure out how to obser... more info>>

Mission to America [Secure]

From one of our most visible young writers, a superb new novel about the collision between the forces of faith and an overstimulated, overfed, spiritually overextended America. Mason LaVerle is a young man on a mission--a mission to America. He was raised in a remote Montana town in the church of the Aboriginal Risen Apostles, a matriarchal, almost New Ageish sect that, like the Amish, keeps a wary distance from mainstream life.

My Descent Into Death [Secure]
by Howard Storm

Before his near-death experience, Rev. Howard Storm, a Professor of Art at Northern Kentucky University, was not a very pleasant man. He was an avowed atheist and was hostile to every form of religion and those who practiced it. He often would use rage to control everyone around him and he didn't find joy in anything. Anything that wasn't seen, touched, or felt, he had no faith in. He knew with certainty that the material world was the full extent of everything that was. He considered all belief... more info>>

No One Like Him: The Doctrine of God

Many contemporary theologians claim that the classical picture of God painted by Augustine and Aquinas is both outmoded and unbiblical.

Feinberg begins by exploring the contemporary concepts of God, particularly the openness and process views, and then s... more info>> (Published: 2009)

Poor Pio. Sometimes his parents didn't have enough money to buy him shoes. But, that didn't bother Pio. He liked to wear his older brother's hand-me-downs with their scars.
