Egyptologist and archaeologist David Rohl sets out to discover the historical truth which lies at the very heart of the Book of Genesis, but what Legend: The Genesis of Civilisation ends up being is a new Rohl-legend about the beginning of ancient Near Eastern civilisation--with many gaps. The book is divided into three parts. Firstly, Rohl proposes that Eden and its garden was between Lakes Van and Urmin and the Caspian Sea, with Nod on its east. Then he claims the ancestors of the Sumerians migrated in the 6th millennium BC from this "Eden" to Mesopotamia, establishing Sumerian culture there, and identical with biblical Shem. The Mesopotamian and biblical Flood, he sets in the late 4th millennium BC. In part three, Rohl brings Sumerian traders to East Africa (Punt & Sudan--"Kush"), and Egypt, becoming founders of Pharaonic Egypt, using cultural links c.3000BC. |

Anyone concerned with the historical, geographical, and cultural background of the New Testament will want to study this classic work as it retraces the steps of Jesus. | |

| Forced by conquest and exile to carry his teachings outside his homeland, the Dalai Lama has become a global spiritual leader instrumental in the increase in frequency and meaningfulness of interfaith dialogue, that is, the quest for common ground and mutual respect in a violently divisive world. Westerners have evinced great interest in Buddhism, and Buddhists are responding with their reflections on Christianity. Thich Nhat Hanh recognized Jesus as "one of his spiritual ancestors" in Living Buddha, Living Christ (1995), and now the Dalai Lama offers stirring and revelatory commentary on the Gospels, distinguishing carefully between similarities and differences in Buddhist and Christian thought. His holiness rejects the notion of a single universal religion, believing, instead, that there is as great a value in diversity as in harmony. This heart-opening book, based on his holiness' participation in a seminar organized by the World Community for Christian Meditation, includes commentary by Benedictine monk Father Laurence Freeman and glossaries of Buddhist and Christian terms. | |

Teresa was on of the great spiritual servants of our era, whose simple
wisdom expressed untold depths of devotion. In this treasury of her
thoughts on prayer, she offers the world another blessing." President

Using this book on prayer, please remember that Mother Teresa always prayed with her actions, her life. Mind, speech, and body in perfect oneness, that is the solid ground of authentic meditation. The moment you start praying that way, peace, love, and transformation begin to take place, within yourself and around you. You do not have to wait for the result in the future Mother Teresa says: the fruit of prayer is faith, love, service, and peace. All of these take place in the present moment. Enjoy praying with her. Thich Nhat Hanh, author of Living Buddha, Living Christ |

| This is a combined edition of all three volumes of the great Chinese pastor-teacher Watchman Nee's classic work, based on Scripture and personal experience, on the spiritual life and spiritual warfare. Nee explains if a Christian wants to live a fufilling life, then he/she must learn the sutle differences between soul and spirit. Christianity has far too often gazed over this topic, and leaving most to believe we are dualistic. This is a must have for both the new Christiand and the veteran of theology. | |
