A Biography of Belief

Joseph Campbell wrote that mythology is "the wonderful song of the soul's high adventure." In Myth, David Leeming considers the role this "wonderful song" has to play in a world increasingly dependent on scientific and technical information.Exploring classic works such as the Song of Songs, the Tao Te Ching, the Rg Veda, the New Testament, and the Indonesian myth of Hainuwele, Myth reveals the cultural energies that ancient "mythmakers" sought to corral in their creations. Leeming argues that myths are, by definition, evolvingcreations that live on in the work of modern-day "mythmakers" such as W.B. Yeats, Virginia Woolf, and Albert Einstein. Leeming provides an engaging new outlook on the role of myth in the works of these and other contemporary artists and scientists. The similarities between modern concepts like the"Big Bang" and ancient myths of creation illustrate our continuing need to confront the mysteries of existence by way of metaphor and narrative. Leeming suggests that myth and factual knowledge do not negate, but complement each other.Whether it is the "American Dream," alien abduction, or belief in virgin birth and resurrection, these "living myths" play a very therapeutic role in the development of a healthy society. In Myth: A Biography of Belief, David Leeming shows that myths are still a fitting way to capture "the soul'shigh adventure."

Tariq Ramadan is very much a public figure, named one of Time magazine's most important innovators of the twenty-first century. He is among the leading Islamic thinkers in the West, with a large following around the world. But he has also been a lightning rod for controversy. Indeed, in 2004,Ramadan was prevented from entering the U.S. by the Bush administration and despite two appeals, supported by organizations like the American Academy of Religion and the ACLU, he is still barred from the country at this time.pa href="http://www.tariqramadan.com/spip.php?article10917"target="_blank"Lecture audio : What I believe /a/pIn What I Believe, Ramadan attempts to set the record straight, laying out the basic ideas he stands for in clear and accessible prose. He describes the book as a work of clarification, directed at ordinary citizens, politicians, journalists, and others who are curious (or skeptical) about hispositions. Aware that that he is dealing with emotional issues, Ramadan tries to get past the barriers of prejudice and misunderstanding to speak directly, from the heart, to his Muslim and non-Muslim readers alike. In particular, he calls on Western Muslims to escape the mental, social, cultural,and religious ghettos they have created for themselves and become full partners in the democratic societies in which they live. At the same time, he calls for the rest of us to recognize our Muslim neighbors as citizens with rights and responsibilities the same as ours. His vision is of a future inwhich a shared and confident pluralism becomes a reality at last.

Understanding and Overcoming the Destructive Forces That Are Transforming America

The great paradox of the human race--that we are intelligent enough to understand just about everything, except ourselves--has never been more striking, or more troubling, than right now. Specifically, we don't understand evil--what it is, how it works, and why it so routinely and effortlessly ruins our lives.

In How Evil Works , veteran newsman and bestselling author David Kupelian takes a fresh and insightful look at this ancient subject. Diving into the most electrifying news stories of the day--from terrorism and school violence to high-profile sex scandals and dysfunctional Hollywood celebrities--Kupelian explores the secret world of seduction, corruption, and daily temptations in everyday life, demonstrating his uncanny knack for breaking down complex, elusive, and intimidating topics.

Kupelian shows that once we really understand "how evil works"--not just in the headline-making disasters and crimes that dominate the news, but also in our own lives--evil loses much of its power, and the way out becomes more clear. And that's precisely why this book bears a powerful message of genuine hope.

Why We Care Even If the Universe Doesn't

Drawing on years of wide-ranging, intensive clinical experience, and his own family experience with cancer, the author helps the reader to understand how people cope with random adversity without recourse to supernatural belief. In fact, as he explains, coming to terms with randomness, while initially frightening, can be liberating and empowering. Realizing that the universe is fundamentally random is not usually the cause of nihilism, apathy, or feelings of pointlessness about life.

Written for those seeking a scientifically sound yet humanistic worldview, the book examines science's inroads into the big questions claimed by religion and philosophy. Dr. Lewis shows how our mistaken intuitions about purpose are entangled with assumptions that life events happen for an intended reason and that the universe has inherent purpose. Integrating disparate scientific fields, he shows how not only the universe, life, and consciousness could have emerged and evolved spontaneously and unguided - so too could purpose, morality, and meaning. There is persuasive evidence that these qualities evolved naturally and unmysteriously in humans, as conscious, goal-directed social animals.

While acknowledging the social and psychological value of progressive forms of religion, the author respectfully deconstructs even the most sophisticated theistic arguments for a purposeful universe. Instead, he offers an evidence-based, realistic yet optimistic, compassionate worldview.

Was God telling the truth when he said, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart"

In The Case for Faith, bestselling author, journalist, and former atheist Lee Strobel turns his investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief in God--the eight "heart barriers" to faith:

 * "Since evil and suffering exist, a loving God cannot"
 * "Since miracles contradict science, they cannot be true"
 * "Evolution explains life, so God isn't needed"
 * "God isn't worthy of worship if he kills innocent children"
 * "It's offensive to claim Jesus is the only way to God"
 * "A loving God would never torture people in Hell"
 * "Church history is littered with oppression and violence"
 * "I still have doubts, so I can't be a Christian"

This book is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with difficult questions standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in defending their faith to skeptical friends, or during the hardest of times, when they have to defend their faith to themselves in moments of doubt.

Also available: The Case for Faith Spanish edition, kids' edition, and student edition. Plus, be sure to check out Lee Strobel's entire collection of Case for... books:

 * The Case for Christ investigates the historical evidence for Jesus
 * The Case for a Creator explores the scientific evidence for God
 * The Case for Grace uncovers the "how" and "why" behind God's amazing grace

A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief

An instant bestseller, The Language of God provides the best argument for the integration of faith and logic since C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity. It has long been believed that science and faith cannot mingle. Faith rejects the rational, while science restricts us to a life with no meaning beyond the physical. It is an irreconcilable war between two polar-opposite ways of thinking and living. Written for believers, agnostics, and atheists alike, The Language of God provides a testament to the power of faith in the midst of suffering without faltering from its logical stride. Readers will be inspired by Collin’s personal story of struggling with doubt, as well as the many revelations of the wonder of God’s creation that will forever shape the way they view the world around them.

Easy Ways to Boost Low Self-Esteem and Finally Believe in Yourself

Do You Want to Break Free From Negative Self-Image, Boost Your Self-Esteem, Self-Confidence, and Learn to Think Positively? Here's the Right Book For You!

Many people occasionally suffer from a negative self-image but, for an increasing number of people, this can turn into a more serious preoccupation. 1% of the population will develop Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a condition characterized by severe preoccupation with a perceived physical defect.

Self-image problems can cause significant distress and can lead to further problems such as anxiety, eating disorders and social phobia. It has long been recognized that negative self-image problems are a factor in the onset and maintenance of many eating disorders. However, they can be successfully treated.

Negative self-image can make life difficult in various ways. It might make you feel anxious and depressed, causing you to have doubts and self-critical thoughts. It might make it difficult to feel at ease with other people and prevent you from enjoying the life you desire. It makes it difficult to appreciate and value yourself in the way you would value another person you care about.

This book will help you to understand your negative self-image and break out of the vicious circle of distress, unhealthy behavior and self-destructive thinking. Using practical techniques, this book will help you learn the art of self-acceptance and improve your self-image, self-esteem, and self-confidence.

When your mind is preoccupied with negative self-talk, it becomes oblivious to the wonderful opportunities that life presents. It loses sight of possible solutions to the problem you're worried about. It loses sight of the basic pleasures of life.

But what if you could eliminate negative self-image?

What if you could start addressing issues instead of thinking about them?

What if you could love and cherish yourself instead of berating yourself?

Below is a sneak peek of what you will find in this book:

- Fostering a positive self-image
- How to build a healthy self-image
- How social media can crush your self-esteem
- The relationship between body image and self-esteem
- How to be more confident
- Ways to overcome negative self-image
- Self-efficacy and why it is important to believe in yourself

If you've struggled to overcome a negative self-image, you know that telling yourself to "think positive" isn't enough. This book provides a comprehensive toolkit of effective techniques and strategies to help you address the root causes of your anxiety, manage daily anxieties, stop negative thinking, increase your self-esteem, and ultimately love yourself the way you deserve to be loved.

This book will help readers to comprehend their condition, and, armed with new knowledge, to break out of the vicious circle of negative self-image, learn the art of self-acceptance and change their lives for the better.
