A glorious debut that T.C. Boyle calls "powerful and deeply moving" that follows two young Mormon missionaries in Brazil and their tense, peculiar friendship. Elder McLeod--outspoken, surly, a brash American--is nearing the end of his mission in Brazil. For nearly two years he has spent his days studying the Bible and the Book of Mormon, knocking on doors, teaching missionary lessons--"experimenting on the word." His new partner is Elder Passos, a devout, ambitious Brazilian who found salvation and solace in the church after his mother's early death. The two men are at first suspicious of each other, and their work together is frustrating, fruitless. That changes when a beautiful woman and her husband offer the missionaries a chance to be heard, to put all of their practice to good use, to test the mettle of their faith. But before they can bring the couple to baptism, they must confront their own long-held beliefs and doubts, and the simmering tensions at the heart of their friendship. A novel of unsparing honesty and beauty, Elders announces Ryan McIlvain as a writer of enormous talent.

"Is my baby in heaven?" This is the most important question a grieving parent can ask. And even if the little one is someone else's child, the issue remains: What happens to children?those unborn, stillborn, or youngsters?when they die? Can you hope to see them again? Can you let go of your fear and guilt? Can God's love soothe a wound so jagged? With scriptural authority and the warmth of a pastor's heart, bestselling author John MacArthur examines the breadth of the entire Bible and reveals in this compelling book the Heavenly Father's care for every life. "I have sat by the grave of our daughter and son and wondered out loud if my belief that Hope and Gabriel are in heaven has any solid scriptural support. John MacArthur offers truth from God's Word that puts the doubts of any grieving parent to rest. Safe in the Arms of God reveals that confidence of heaven for the child you love is based on much more than mere sentimentality; it is revealed in the Word of God and reflective of the very heart of God." ?Nancy Guthrie, author of Holding On to Hope

“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html “Inasmuch as you don't want to be stubborn, sail to Valaam, and if you don't want to be harsh, go to Sarov. If you want to be experienced, go to Optina,” Russian people used to say in the old days. And not without reason. Optina Desert raised in its monastery walls a whole galaxy of elders who were distinguished by the most valuable spiritual gift - the gift of reasoning. Not only ordinary people came to them for advice, but also the intelligentsia - great Russian writers and public figures: F.M. Dostoevsky, N.V. Gogol, L.N. Tolstoy, K.N. Leontiev, V.S. Soloviev. The elders, wise in spiritual experience, opened the will of God to those who were asking, consoled in difficult life trials, diverted them from sinful life and turned to repentance - sometimes strictly, and sometimes with a joke-joke. The advice and instructions of the elders, preserved in letters or spoken in conversations and recorded by eyewitnesses, are relevant at all times, and especially in ours, meager spiritual mentors. The teachings collected in this book are only a small part of the richest Optina treasury. Great and incomparably beautiful is the river of God - Holy Optina! This river flows from the sources of temporary life in the sea of eternally joyful endless life in the kingdom of the inexorable Light, and it bears on itself the boats and its desert inhabitants, and many other mournful, tortured, suffering souls who have found the truth of life at the feet of the great Optina elders. What miracles, what signs of the mercy of God, as well as his righteous anger, are not concealed in the transparent deep life-giving waters of this majestic, beautiful, mysteriously wonderful river! How many times from its picturesque bank, covered with a tent of lush green pines and firs, wrapped in the coolness of curly oaks, lace birches, aspens and maples of the reserved monastery forest, my seine descended into its bottomless depths, as clear as rock crystal, and -not in vain ... Oh, blessed Optina! S. A. Nilus If you do any mercy to anyone, you will be pardoned for that. If you suffer with a suffering person (it is not great, it seems, this is) - you are numbered as martyrs. If you forgive the offender, for this all your sins will be forgiven. Advice and guidance from Moses of Optina
