Home In Heaven With Jesus
by Janet Chase“They went home to Heaven to be with Jesus,” is what my Mother always told us, after a loved family member or friend died. I was just a child then and believed her. Their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior was what enabled them to enter Heaven. How do we know this to be true? In the Bible, Romans 10:9 states, “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Also, Romans 10:13 states, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Come along with me, on my journey. As I share, how as a child I did believe my Mother and shared her faith. As I grew older, I learned that although my parents had a strong faith in Christ; I needed to have my own. From the moment we are created, we have an eternal soul. We are all God’s children, created in the image of God. We will live forever in the presence of God or be separated. Our choice to live with God has eternal consequences. I have said many “goodbyes,” to those I love and look forward to seeing them again in Heaven. Learn how I found my joy and my hope of Heaven and how you can too!

Home in the Church: Living an Embodied Catholic Faith
by Jessica PtomeyMany Catholics in the modern world experience a Catholic faith that has been stripped of a great deal of its symbolically-rich practices. More and more, Catholic individuals, families, and parishes feel the pull to conform to the conventions of modern culture. Home in the Church offers a substitute to Catholics living in the modern world—calling them back to a distinctly Catholic way of living and vision of Mother Church as the home on earth that is leading them to their heavenly home. Catholic Convert, Jessica Ptomey, describes her journey to a more embodied Christian faith in the Catholic Church, and she invites readers to the same experience—whether they are cradle-Catholics or seekers like her former self. Within Home in the Church, readers discover or re-discover the various elements of church liturgy, teaching, and tradition that help believers to live a faith that is embodied—lived out body, mind, and soul. Home in the Church discusses the embodied nature of faith in the home, in the celebrations of the liturgical calendar, in the liturgy of the Mass, in personal prayer, in the intercession of the saints, in the sacraments, and in a redemptive view of suffering.

Home Is Here: Practicing Antiracism with the Engaged Eightfold Path
by Liên ShuttA guide to living the Engaged Four Noble Truths: antiracist practices for wholeness, healing, and collective liberation. For readers of Be the Refuge, The Way of Tenderness, Love and Rage, and Radical Dharma.Home is Here builds on foundational Buddhist teachings—the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path—offering an intersectional frame to help you embody antiracist practices and tend to your own healing under racism and oppression.Grounded in practice, memoir, and mindful self-help skill-building, Rev. Liên Shutt&’s Engaged Four Noble Truths illuminate a path toward healing and liberation. She shares her own experiences with anti-Asian hate—as a teen riding her bike, meditating in whitewashed monasteries—and asks, what does it mean to attend to our suffering in body, heart, and mind when racism can cause such intense hurt and pain? What does it look like to heal?While written mainly for Asian American Buddhists and other BIPOC practitioners, Home is Here moves us all from knowing and contemplation to a place of action and wholeness.In the doing is the realization, and in practicing antiracism, we build a home for all beings. This is reflected in Rev. Shutt&’s choice to frame each step of the Engaged Eightfold Path not as &“right&” but as &“skillful&”—to convey both the knowing and the practices essential to healing harm. In this way: Skillful view helps us understand and unpack the layers of our racial conditioning within systemic white supremacy.Skillful motivation allows us to understand our agency and align our actions with wholeness.Skillful effort guides us when working through difficult or triggering situationsSkillful speech helps us communicate wholly truthfully, even (and especially) when navigating challenging conversations.An engaged reframing of core Buddhist spiritual principles, Home is Here connects foundational practices to urgent causes—and invites readers on a path home to wholeness.

Home Lands: Portraits of the New Jewish Diaspora
by Larry TyeThe idea for this book came to Larry Tye as he traveled overseas as a reporter for the Boston Globe. In each city he visited he was intrigued by a reawakening of practice and spirit of the long repressed Jewish community. And the more communities he saw close-up, the clearer it became to him that the Jewish world was being reshaped and revitalized in ways that were not reflected in what he was reading about the disappearing diaspora and the vanishing Jews of America.The result is Home Lands, an narrative that tells the story of the new Jewish diaspora. Tye picked seven Jewish communities from Boston to Buenos Aires and Dusseldorf to Dnepropetrovsk deep in the Ukraine, and in each he zeroes in on a single family or congregation whose tale reflects the wider community's history and current situation. He met each community's leaders, talked with their scores of young people and old, and went with them to High Holiday services and Sabbath celebrations.The first impression that emerges from his travels is each city's uniqueness. Far more striking than the differences, however, is the unity. Jews all over the world still have enough customs and rituals in common for outsiders to see them as part of the same people, and for them to define themselves that way. It is that new comfort level, that sense of finally feel comfortable in the lands where they are living, that is at the heart of this engrossing book. Readers' eyes will be opened to how Germany, just a generation after the genocide, has the world's fastest-growing Jewish population; how the Jews of Buenos Aires have carved a place for themselves in a land that also gave refuge to Nazi henchmen like Adolph Eichman, and how Ireland is home to a tight-knit Jewish community that, remarkably, has produced Jewish Lord Mayors in Belfast, Cork and, twice from the same family, in Dublin. In Boston, Tye tells the story of his own family, whose roots run deep in the city's Jewish community.Home Lands is a book that is deeply personal even as it sheds light on the larger Jewish experience.
