Par John Ortberg. 2001
Peter may have been the first one out of the boat, but Jesus' invitation to walk on water is for…
you as well. That's where you'll meet him: out where the sea is high and the footing impossible. As a follower of Jesus, you want to go where he calls you. But walk on water? What does that mean? ~* Walking on water means facing your fears and choosing not to let fear have the last word. ~ Walking on water means discovering and embracing the unique calling of God on your life. ~ Walking on water means experiencing the power of God in your life to do something you would not be capable of doing on your own. Expect a few waves to slap you in the face. Failure comes with the territory-- but so does the strong hand of Jesus, pulling you up when the bottom drops out. And so do brilliant successes and rewards that far outweigh any of the risks. In his engaging and humorous style, John Ortberg reflects on the story in Matthew 14. [ He helps us to recognize what boat we're in -the comfortable situation where we're hiding. He reminds us there is a storm; we will encounter problems. But if we're willing to get out of the boat, two things will happen. First, if we fail - and we will fail sometimes - Jesus will be there to pick us up. We will not fail alone. We will find he is wholly adequate to save us. And second, every once in a while, we will walk on water! "When human beings get out of the boat, they are never quite the same," writes Ortberg. Encounters with Jesus have that effect. Do you want to know him as never before? Then face your fears and step over the gunwales the Master of the sea is waiting for you. Ortberg is a teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois. He is the author of The Life You've Always Wanted and Love Beyond Reason, has written for Christianity Today, and is a frequent contributor to Leadership Journal.The Illustrated World's Religions: A Guide To Our Wisdom Traditions

The Sabbath
Par Abraham Joshua Heschel. 2005
Elegant, passionate, and filled with the love of God's creation, Abraham Joshua Heschel's "The Sabbath" has been hailed as a…
classic of Jewish spirituality ever since its original publication and has been read by thousands of people seeking meaning in modern life. In this brief yet profound meditation on the meaning of the Seventh Day, Heschel introduced the idea of an "architecture of holiness" that appears not in space but in time. Judaism, he argues, is a religion of time: it finds meaning not in space and the material things that fill it but in time and the eternity that imbues it, so that "the Sabbaths are our great cathedrals."Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity

Par Hanna Stähle. 2021
The Russian Orthodox Church, the largest and most powerful religious institution in Russia, has become one of the central pillars…
of Vladimir Putin’s authoritarianism. While church attendance remains low, the religiously inspired rhetoric of traditionalism has come to dominate the mainstream political and media discourse. Has Russia abandoned its atheist past and embraced Orthodox Christianity as its new moral guide? The reality is more complex and contradictory. Digital sources provide evidence of rising domestic criticism of the Russian Orthodox Church and its leadership. This book offers a nuanced understanding of contemporary Russian Orthodoxy and its changing role in the digital era. Topics covered within this book include: • Mediatization theory; • Church reforms under Patriarch Kirill; • Church–state relations since 2009; • The Russian Orthodox Church’s media policy; • Anticlericalism vs. Church criticism; and • Religious, secular, and atheist critiques of the Church in digital media. Using contemporary case studies such as Pussy Riot's Punk Prayer, this book is a gripping read for those with an interest in media studies, digital criticism of religion, religion in the media, the role of religion in society, and the Russian Orthodox Church.
