40 Days of Decrease: A Different Kind of Hunger. A Different Kind of Fast.
by Alicia Britt Chole"What are you giving up for Lent?" we are asked. Our minds begin to whirl: Chocolate? Designer coffee? Social media? Forty days later, some feel disappointed in their efforts (it was a limited-time blend . . . ), some feel surprised by their success (didn't even miss it . . . ), but perhaps precious few feel spiritually renewed. Can such fasts alone truly prepare us to celebrate Easter? Or any other chosen time of reflection during the year? Or could it be that before we can be duly awed by resurrection, we need to daily honor crucifixion? 40 Days of Decrease emphasizes a different type of fast. What if you or your church fasted comparison? What if your family fasted accumulation? What if your office fasted gossip? 40 Days of Decrease guides readers through a study of Jesus' uncommon and uncomfortable call to abandon the world's illusions, embrace His kingdom's reality, and journey cross-ward and beyond. Each daily, 1000-word entry will include a devotional based on Jesus' cross-ward life; a reflection question to guide journaling or group discussion; a fast to inspire a tangible response; a thought-provoking Lenten quote; a sidebar into the historical development of Lent.
40 Days of Doubt: Devotions for the Skeptic
by Eric Huffman“Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.” --Martin Luther Do you ever wonder whether you’re really a Christian and cling to what’s left of your faith when you feel like an outsider — even among other believers. Have you ever doubted your faith? Have you ever, deep down in your heart, doubted that God was really present in your life? Or wondered whether everything you believed in as a Christian was false? Call it existential doubt. Call it “the dark night of the soul,” as one Christian saint famously did. Whatever you call it, it’s real. It is personal, it is painful, it is distressing, and it can last for years? maybe even a lifetime. But you are not alone. 40 Days of Doubt: Devotions for the Skeptic is for all those sports-talk listening, eye-rolling, Game-of-Thrones-loving, abnormal believers out there. If you’ve ever felt that your mind and soul were fighting, you’ll find solace in these awe and wonder-filled reflections by pastor and author Eric Huffman. This devotional helps us understand how we can cope with our questions, and provides insightful answers during our times of doubt.

40 Jahre Islamischer Religionsunterricht in Österreich: Islamische Bildung im europäischen Kontext (Wiener Beiträge zur Islamforschung)
by Tamara Nili-Freudenschuß Ednan AslanÖsterreich war eines der ersten westeuropäischen Länder, das den Islam als Körperschaft öffentlichen Rechts anerkannt hat. Diese historische Anerkennung geht zurück auf die lange, facettenreiche Geschichte des Islam in Österreich und erfüllte den Muslim*innen in Österreich einen lang gehegten Wunsch, welcher auch in vielen anderen europäischen Ländern besteht. Seit 40 Jahren ermöglicht diese Anerkennung den Muslim*innen, den Islam als ordentliches Unterrichtsfach an öffentlichen Schulen zu unterrichten. Die Erkenntnisse aus dieser langjährigen Erfahrung im Bereich des islamischen Religionsunterrichts sind von großer Bedeutung für andere europäische Staaten, die sich ebenfalls um die Integration des islamischen Religionsunterrichts in das öffentliche Schulwesen bemühen. Der Band bietet einen umfassenden Überblick aus religionspädagogischer und -didaktischer, gesellschafts- und bildungspolitischer, rechtlicher und empirischer Perspektive. Er beleuchtet die 40-jährige Geschichte des islamischen Religionsunterrichts in Österreich und zeigt auf, welchen Beitrag religiöse Bildung zur Integration muslimischer Kinder in die Gesellschaft leisten kann.

by John F. MacArthurHave you ever wondered why God uses ordinary people to accomplish His work and to spread the good news? Join bestselling author and Bible teacher John MacArthur as he takes a closer look at the everyday lives of the men and women that God trusted to carry His message and lead His people. 40 Lives in 40 Days is a brand-new devotional compilation of MacArthur's extensive studies of the Bible characters who show us that we don't have to be perfect to do God's work.

They were perfectly ordinary sinners--living proof of God's kindness--who went on to serve an extraordinary purpose in spreading the gospel.By tracing the lives of these unlikely heroes, MacArthur shows us that the difficulties and temptations that they lived through are the same trials that modern believers face today.Throughout 40 Lives in 40 Days, MacArthur will:Dive deep into the stories of Jesus' earliest disciplesTeach us that God continues to mold and use ordinary people todayShare the surprising ways God accomplishes His purposesProvide an honest look at all of God's peopleHelp you experience God's goodness and graceAs you get to know each of these 40 figures even better, you'll see why the lives they led can still serve as an inspiration to believers today.
40 Loaves: Breaking Bread with Our Father Each Day
by C. D. Baker“Why don’t I have more faith?” “Why am I so bored with Jesus?” “Why are Christians so hard for me to like?” There are many questions we’re notsupposedto ask when playing by the religious rules. It makes people uncomfortable. So why is it that Jesus invited questions and even asked some of them himself? What is it that you’re afraid to ask God? It’s a risky prospect to begin asking–but far riskier to continue simply trying to get by without knowing. Author C. D. Baker asked himself 40 soul-searching questions which started a conversation in his heart and ultimately showed him more about God than He ever expected. Can we become more honest with who we really are and find who God says He really is at the same time? Comeindulge yourself in daily readings with an honest exploration of your secret fears and thoughts, and know that you will always be welcomed in God’s unconditional love. Search me, O God … and know my anxious thoughts. –Psalm 139:23 NIV
