The only child of prominent German parents, Ellen Cremer lived an idyllic life in the 1920's high society of Berlin. But with Hitler's rise to power, life changed abruptly - Ellen's father was anti-Nazi, her mother was Jewish. While turmoil, tragedy, and death swirled around her, Ellen became a skilled linguist, working among internationals in a major German factory during World War II. She also turned away from God. Through an amazing series of providential circumstances, Ellen became the official interpreter for the American military government in Germany after the War. In this capacity, she met her future husband. Years after coming to the States with Ken, Ellen finally faced the claims of Christ, and the fact of her own sin. Ellen's life, transformed in an instant, took on new meaning, enabling her to draw blessing from further bereavemant, and joy from renewed fires of trial. From My Self to My Savior shares the accounts which Ellen wrote to her children over a period of twenty-five years, along with over fifty authentic photographs and documents.

You will no longer worry about what others think of you. Why? Because you love yourself flaws and all.

This book encourages you to shine in your own full expression in this beautiful life where you know you are loved just for being exactly who you are.

This is the sixth annual volume of the remarkably popular journal of biblical theology edited by Scott Hahn and his St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. This volume features an all-star lineup tackling one of the most controversial and important subjects in biblical scholarship the inspiration and truth of Sacred Scripture. What does it mean to say that Scripture is "the Word of God"? Are there "errors" in Scripture? These are some of the questions addressed in important new works by Hahn, Brant Pitre, Pablo Gadenz, Michael Waldstein, John Betz, and Germain Grisez. Highlights include Hahn's new essay on the "the truth and humility of God's Word" and Gadenz's authoritative review of the Catholic teaching on the "inerrancy" of Scripture. This volume also includes a never-before-translated essay by Romano Guardini, "Holy Scripture and the Science of Faith." From the Editors' introduction: " The widespread erosion in the assumption that Scripture is the true Word of God forms the broader context for the articles and studies in this volume of Letter & Spirit. As we see it, the work we present in these pages is no ivory tower exercise. It is no exaggeration to say that at stake in this discussion is the future of the identity of the Church and the mission of the Word incarnate. If the Scriptures cannot be trusted to communicate the truth about God and his saving message, if they do not bring us to the encounter with the living God who speaks his Word, then it must be asked: what is the meaning and purpose of the Church?"

Christianity, Islam, and Judaism all feature ideas about heaven, hell, and afterlife, and these concepts have evolved over time within these religions. This work supplies a detailed and coherent understanding of the broad scope of spiritual thinking in the last 3,000 years within the Abrahamic traditions. Heaven, Hell, and the Afterlife: Eternity in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam provides an all-encompassing examination of historic and contemporary perspectives on afterlife in Western religions. In these three volumes, Judaic, Christian, and Muslim scholars join forces, providing an unprecedented review of their individual faith's traditions. Every significant issue and major theme is discussed; no controversial topic is avoided. From ancient doctrines to modern-day outlooks of conservatives, progressives, and liberals in all three religions, all are analyzed and presented here. The framework of the volumes underscores how the ethics and concepts of eternity in the Western "action" religions contrast with Eastern religions that tend to be characterized as "passive" or "withdrawal" religions in their ethics and their notions of afterlife as absorption within universal spirit, Nirvana, or nonexistence. This work is well-suited for undergraduate and graduate students, general readers interested in religion, and professional scholars, particularly those in fields corollary to religious study.

As we journey through life, the decisions we make can have an impact on our destinations. We have choice because we are allowed free will by our Lord and King, the Creator of all things. He has all control of directing our every being to His will; however, He has not done so, instead He lets us decide what path we will take. And therefore, we have the freedom to choose that which is good or that which is not acceptable in the sight of Him. Many have exercised their freedom of choice of either being rebellious or by acknowledging that there is a more conscious and pleasant way of going through life by embracing compassion and empathetic ways. Having love does not mean that all things are perfect, but with a heart of love, beauty is imbedded within the heart and one's outlook on nature, people, and things within the world becomes more embracing. Why hate when it allows confusion and conflicts one's state of mind to a harden heart? I have seen beauty, but I am also aware that ugliness is mixed within. Just as the tares are mixed with the wheat, a separation will take place eventually at the time of harvest. Why wait for the harvest for the separation to take place? We can begin now to be separated from among the ones that are stubborn and rebellious. Right at this moment, we can accept the beauty that the Savior will give to us for our ashes of hate and whatever else that is keeping us from the beauty of being redeemed. My choice in life have taken me to many different directions but finally ended up with the Savior as my all in all. Therefore, make the choice that is relevant to your life's journey and destination. I am suggesting Jesus, the Lord and Savior.

The statistics are jarring. One in four women and one in six men have been sexually assaulted. But as sobering as these statistics are, they can't begin to speak to the darkness and grief experienced by the victims. The church needs compassionate and wise resources to care for those living in the wake of this evil. Other books attempt to address the journey from shame to healing for victims of sexual abuse, but few are from a Christian perspective and written for both child and adult victims. In Rid of My Disgrace, a couple experienced in counseling and care for victims of sexual assault present the gospel in its power to heal the broken and restore the disgraced. Justin and Lindsey Holcomb present a clear definition of sexual assault and outline a biblical approach for moving from destruction to redemption. Rid of My Disgrace applies a theology of redemption to the grief, shame, and sense of defilement victims experience. This book is primarily written for them, but can also equip pastors, ministry staff, and others to respond compassionately to those who have been assaulted. Part of the Re:Lit series.
