One Lost Soul: Richard Nixon's Search for Salvation (Library of Religious Biography (LRB))
by Daniel SillimanImpious and amoral, petty and vindictive, Richard Nixon is not the typical protagonist of a religious biography. But spiritual drama is at the heart of this former president&’s tragic story. The night before his resignation, Richard Nixon wept—and prayed. Though his demanding parents had raised him Quaker, he wasn&’t a regular churchgoer, nor was he quick to express vulnerability. As Henry Kissinger witnessed Nixon&’s loneliness and humiliation that night, he remarked, &“Can you imagine what this man would have been had somebody loved him?&” In this provocative and riveting biography, Daniel Silliman cuts to the heart of Nixon&’s tragedy: Nixon wanted to be loved by God but couldn&’t figure out how. This profound theological struggle underlay his successes and scandals, his turbulent political career, his history-changing victories, and his ultimate disgrace. As Silliman narrates the arc of his subject&’s life and career, he connects Nixon&’s character to religious influences in twentieth-century America—from Cold War Christianity to Chick tracts. Silliman paints a nuanced spiritual portrait of the thirty-seventh president, just as he offers fresh insight into US political and religious history. Readers who lived through Watergate will discover a new perspective on an infamous controversy. A historical page-turner, One Lost Soul will surprise and absorb students, scholars, and anyone who likes a good story.

One Minute Faith: Encouragement for a Hungry Soul

It can also be used as a daily, or weekly, reflection and devotional. It’s filled with words of encouragement and anecdotes designed to challenge you in your walk of grace, by encouraging you to engage your faith through acts of kindness, discipleship and faith in God.It is not the Bible, but it draws from biblical teachings, principles, and concepts that help encourage, motivate, educate and foster a desire to learn more about the promises that the Lord Thy God has made to his people and to those of us who have been engrafted into His Holy Kingdom. In the process of reading this book, you will be encouraged, which may energize you to get more involved in taking an active role in your faith walk. You may even find yourself beginning to encourage others by sharing some of the short messages on faith, and worship with others.Remember, it’s not a substitute for the Bible, but it is a reminder to take a moment to reflect on the Good News of the Gospel, and on the simple truth that Jesus Saves! He took our sins, trespasses and iniquities, and carried it all to the cross; bearing the weight of the world upon Himself, so that we would have a chance at everlasting lasting life, in the presence of an Almighty God. This book reminds us to tell others about the price that was paid for our salvation, and to help others to see that we have a Lord, who truly loves us more than we love ourselves. He is the Way, the Truth and the “Life” (John 14:6).So, if you want to encourage yourself or others, then this book is for YOU!

Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to buy it as a gift, for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays, or just for the fun and pleasure of reading an encouraging word.I will tell you that, of my friends in the faith who’ve read it, they loved it… and a great many of them have shared it with others in the faith… Sometimes they shared it with those who were not even faithful believers, who simply needed to be encouraged, and reminded that they are not alone in their walk through life’s situations, circumstances, trials, and tribulations, and it helped. So, the simple answer is this… we all need encouragement on some level, and this book is extremely helpful at getting some positive messages into the hands and the hearts of others. So, be encouraged in your faith and grace walk, and just know that you are not alone!Hebrews 13:5 KJV: Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, norforsake thee.

One Monk, Many Masters: The Wanderings of a Simple Buddhist Traveler
by Paul BreiterIn 1969, Paul Breiter was among the throngs of disaffected youth who traveled to the exotic East, seeking to escape the cultural and spiritual upheavals at home. He traveled first to India, thinking that indulging the senses would be his means of finding God. Instead, he found himself at a monastery in Thailand, taking the precepts of a Buddhist monk. He would spend the next seven years in robes, not indulging the senses, but depriving them. One Monk, Many Masters: The Wanderings of a Simple Buddhist Traveler is an account of Breiter’s life as a monk and his ongoing search for enlightenment after leaving the monastic robes. Breiter’s spiritual wanderings weave through the Theravada, Zen, and Tibetan Buddhist traditions under such great teachers as Ajahn Chah, Ajahn Sumedho, Kobun Chino, Lama Gonpo, and the 16th Karmapa.
