Thinking with the mind of the Church, Mr. Hudson has mined the riches of faith and reason with which the Church has blessed civilization and with which she has shone forth the splendor of truth across two millennia. It was G.K. Chesterton who quipped that the Church is the one continual institution to have been thinking about thinking for 2,000 years, and it is for this reason, as Chesterton also quipped, that she saves us from the ignominy of ignorance which makes us children of our own time and slaves of the zeitgeist. It is she who enables us to think outside the temporal box.

The Bhagavad Gita, popularly known as the Gita, is the 'Sacred Song of God'. In its 700 shlokas, the ecstatic joy of devotion, the importance of equanimity and the relationship of man with God are described in the most precise poetic language. The message of the Gita is as relevant to the present-day Kurukshetra of daily challenges and opportunities as it was for Arjuna in the great war of the Mahabharata. Art of Life: Timeless Wisdom from the Gita offers a clear understanding of the profound wisdom contained in the Bhagavad Gita, in simple and lucid language.

The all-encompassing wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita is applicable to every aspect of modern life. But until now, that beautiful story of the battle and conquest over our own mind has been difficult for Westerners and modern audiences to fully grasp. Translations often brush over concepts that are already widely understood by Hindu scholars. Now, we can see the Gita through the lens of modernity. We can see its myriad of lessons through practical applications to the common struggles we face today.

Throughout my life, I’ve always struggled in dealing with my anger issues. There were days in the past where my emotions and temper would get the best of me, and it would usually not end up too well. My anger issues got so bad that, all my relationships started falling apart, and my best friend, who was once very close to me, didn’t even want to talk to me anymore.

The book of Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach, also called Ecclesiasticus, is the longest book of the deuterocanon. It was originally written in Hebrew, and fragments have been found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. It was later translated into Greek and added to the works of the Septuagint in the second century before Christ. This book helps to make the transition from the Old Testament to the New. It was well known and frequently alluded to by Jesus, the Apostles, and the Early Church. Many of the concepts are echoed in the Sermon on the Mount and other key teachings of Jesus Christ.

The church has too often lost its way in reading the Old Testament for lack of sound principles of interpretation. When careless habits get us off track, we can lose sight of what the Bible is really saying, derailing our own spiritual growth and even risking discredit to God's word. We need a consistent approach to give us confidence as faithful interpreters. In Wisdom for Faithful Reading, trusted Old Testament scholar John Walton lays out his best practices developed over four decades in the classroom.

Scholars and book collectors across the country have long pondered the intended fate of the infamous collection of rare occult books left to rot in the Church of Starry Wisdom in Providence, Rhode Island, after the Starry Wisdom cult dispersed to parts unknown in the late 19th century. The recent shocking discovery of a previously unknown book auction catalogue issued in 1877 offers insight into the myriad mysteries of the cult.

On making the discovery that parts of the Bible are allegorical, I began to apply the various keys—also to be found in ancient and modern literature on the subject—to many of the books of the Bible. The rewards—the resolving of many textual difficulties and the gaining of a philosophy of life, spiritual, intellectual and pre-eminently practical—have been so immeasurably rich that I have felt moved to share them in book form.

The unique ability of women to be mothers is a most precious gift.

Its teachings, the shared realizations of an enlightened god-man, tell us the laws by which we may "untie the bonds of unwisdom", and thus, evermore free, with minds calm and pellucid and hearts purified of reward-desiring actions, come to know and partake of the majestic power, light, and universal kinship of the Divine within us, our birthright as humans, and our passport to grander attainments in vaster spheres of consciousness.

Prayer is crucial in the exercise of faith. It is the lifeline of believers to God. To please God, believers should pray with the right motivation and understanding of what prayer really is. With a good understanding of the deep meanings of prayer, this spiritual exercise can be a powerful tool. Prayer is an act of connecting with God. God loves fellowshipping with his people, but such cannot take place unless someone falls on his knees and begins communicating with him.
