Despite their historical and cultural differences, Eastern Orthodox Christians and Classical Pentecostals share some surprising similarities. Both incorporate holistic approaches to Christian spirituality. Both manifest an organic approach to ecclesiology. Both emphasize that Christianity is not just about being saved. Most strikingly, both traditions embrace the effective and even mystical dimensions of Christian transformation. This study locates both traditions within their cultural and philosophical meta-contexts and suggests avenues of mutual understanding. No longer can these two groups, representing ancient and recent Christian expressions, afford to be strangers.

Spiritual Vitamins, Volume 2 is a daily devotional that is based on two books of the BibleJonah and 1 John. Jonah was an Old Testament prophet who tried to evade his divine commission to the wicked people of Nineveh by running away. We will discover in this devotional that in many ways we are just like Jonah. God had to use painful measures to bring him back to the path of obedience, and thus he was able to fulfill the divine commission. In this study we can learn to avoid the missteps of the prophet. 1 John on the other hand tells us how we can be effective disciples by walking in Gods light in this wicked world. Love is the key to life and this should be demonstrated in our daily walk. Failure to walk in love puts us in the category of those who murder and grope in the dark.

From the author of the New York Times bestseller that defined nature-deficit disorder and launched the international children-and-nature movement, Vitamin N (for “nature”) is a complete prescription for connecting with the power and joy of the natural world right now, with 500 activities for children and adults Dozens of inspiring and thought-provoking essays Scores of informational websites Down-to-earth advice In his landmark work Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv was the first to bring widespread attention to the alienation of children from the natural world, coining the term nature-deficit disorder and outlining the benefits of a strong nature connection--from boosting mental acuity and creativity to reducing obesity and depression, from promoting health and wellness to simply having fun. That book “rivaled Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring” (the Cincinnati Enquirer), was “an absolute must-read for parents” (the Boston Globe), and “an inch-thick caution against raising the fully automated child” (the New York Times). His follow-up book, The Nature Principle, addressed the needs of adults and outlined a “new nature movement and its potential to improve the lives of all people no matter where they live” (McClatchy Newspapers).Vitamin N is a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive, and practical guidebook for the whole family and the wider community, including tips not only for parents eager to share nature with their kids but also for those seeking nature-smart schools, medical professionals, and even careers. It is a dose of pure inspiration, reminding us that looking up at the stars or taking a walk in the woods is as exhilarating as it is essential, at any age.

“When however, worldliness is transmuted into Spiritual Integrity he is free, even though he still dwells physically among world things.” -Manly P. Hall There appears to be a rise in spirituality in the USA. All you have to do is go to your nearest book store or flip through magazines to document the rapidly rising interest in spirituality. But what is spirituality? For most people, spirituality or faith believes in something larger than yourself. And faith isn’t restricted to those who belong to an organized or traditional faith. What if you are not part of an organized or tradition? That doesn’t mean that you are not spiritual or you don’t believe in God. People often use the word “spirituality” interchangeably with religion, but the terms are not the same. Religion has more to do with following the specific practices and dictates of an institution. Spirituality is more personal and encompasses your relationship with others and your creator. In this guide we will discover the areas of life that not only enhance your spirituality, but also enhance the quality of your life. And guide you on the journey of experiencing a deeper level of faith than the ritualistic and traditional ways of religion.
