Compiled by his followers during his lifetime, the Book of Q (from Quelle, German for source) became the prime foundation for the New Testament gospels. Once lost, it has been reconstructed through a century of scholarship. In presenting his own translation, Burton Mack explains how the text of Q was determined and explores the implications of the discovery that Jesus was transformed into the dying and rising messianic savior of Christianity by the New Testament gospels.\" \"Instead of telling a dramatic story about Jesus' life as the Christian gospels do, the Book of Q contained only his sayings. The first followers of Jesus focused not upon his life and destiny, but on the social experiment called for by his teachings. Their book collected his proverbs, aphorisms, and parables to offer instruction in living authentically in the midst of a most confusing time.\" \"In The Lost Gospel, Burton Mack puts forth the first popular translation of Q as scholarly consensus has reconstructed it; shows that Jesus' life story as presented in the New Testament gospels was fictionalized for theological purposes; reveals Jesus to be a countercultural teacher and leader - subsequently mythologized into the Christ of the New Testament; depicts Jesus' followers not as Christians, but as disciples of a wise, antiestablishment teacher; they did not believe him to be the son of God, believe that he rose from the dead, or gather to worship in his name and concludes that Christianity is a mythologized religion (like Buddhism and other religions) rooted in a historical figure and teachings that in reality are quite remote from conventional beliefs.\"--Jacket.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2kvtc4rvmkepgyx0e012m9.jpg?v=e8bca37700","LKI2[%~8R7I=tP-TxDafEgnjNday",1993,"4.00",1,275,[223],{"id":224,"slug":225,"name":226},"01kx2kvtav2fh4xjp3f7kx2pf6","burton-l-mack-ndbt","Burton L.

K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels have brought joy to children and adults alike. Many conservative Christians in the United States, however, have decried the books as wicked, as preaching witchcraft and the occult, and as glamorizing dishonesty. A minister in New Mexico held a “holy bonfire” on the Sunday after Christmas 2001, at which he publicly torched the Potter books, declaring them “an abomination to God and to me.” John Killinger, a Congregationalist minister and an academic in the field of contemporary literature, beautifully demolishes the objections of right-wing Christians to this bestselling children’s series. He compellingly argues that, far from corrupting children’s morals, the Potter stories actually influence young readers to follow the teachings of Jesus. He cites passage after passage to illustrate how the world of Harry Potter would be inconceivable apart from the strictures of Judeo-Christian theology and the way human existence should be approached by every follower of Jesus. Additionally, he reflects on the possibility that Harry Potter, like Dostoevsky’s Prince Myshkin and others, is a witting or unwitting Christ figure who actually battles the forces of darkness for the souls of the faithful. All through this extraordinarily well-written, compelling, and very entertaining little book, the author points out that stories like this are worth more than any sermon toward producing people who truly follow the lessons of Jesus. --Amazon review","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx29rqh6rj18d1dswpwds03p.jpg?v=fbba8ff9ca","LOP?s^WB%MxucuRjxtt7MHRjaxoe",2002,202,[324],{"id":325,"slug":326,"name":327},"01kx29rqgzhxp6vk8n8hkx13p0","john-killinger-9sdy","John Killinger",[329,330],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":156,"complexity":7,"audience":159,"mood":333,"themes":334,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[164,312],[],{"id":336,"slug":337,"title":338,"description":339,"primary_cover_url":340,"cover_blurhash":341,"first_publish_year":342,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":343,"authors":344,"genres":349,"series":352,"enrichment":353},"01kwzr8vq3ay26cy1xdmxrtwgh","vanishing-grace-qhij","Vanishing grace","\"'Why does the church stir up such negative feelings?'

Eric Foner traces this era from its origins in wartime emancipation through Radical Republican legislation, Black suffrage, and the eventual collapse of these gains under Jim Crow. The book argues that Reconstruction was a genuine revolution in American democracy—one that succeeded in transforming the Constitution but failed to protect those it had just enfranchised.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktdrqtp73ms48wq30et1tpn4.jpg?v=7c2e99e343","LELM-1%L~9nN+cM{NGt7@[j]JBoz",1988,713,[415],{"id":416,"slug":417,"name":418},"01kk2bwnwbhe9nffe0g820rzj3","eric-foner-1rfp","Eric Foner",[420,421,425,429,430],{"id":201,"name":202,"slug":203,"is_fiction":19},{"id":422,"name":423,"slug":424,"is_fiction":19},74,"Politics & Society","politics-society",{"id":426,"name":427,"slug":428,"is_fiction":19},83,"Sociology","sociology",{"id":390,"name":391,"slug":392,"is_fiction":19},{"id":431,"name":432,"slug":433,"is_fiction":19},102,"Politics","politics",[],{"pace":208,"complexity":7,"audience":159,"mood":436,"themes":437,"setting_period":7,"summary":409,"content_warnings":7},[161,164],[],{"id":439,"slug":440,"title":441,"description":442,"primary_cover_url":443,"cover_blurhash":444,"first_publish_year":445,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":446,"authors":447,"genres":452,"series":459,"enrichment":460},"01kx2c5hej7bqbvsz6a24cfkp2","overcoming-lifes-disappointments-eamk","Overcoming life's disappointments","From Harold S. Kushner, the author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, a book that shows us how to be our best selves even when things don't turn out as we had hoped--that is, how we can overcome life's disappointments.Kushner turns to the experience of Moses to find the requisite lessons of strength and faith. Moses towers over all others in the Old Testament: he is the man on the mountaintop to whom God speaks with unparalleled intimacy, and he leads his people out of bondage. But he is also deeply human, someone whose soaring triumphs are offset by frustration and longing: his people ignore his teachings, he is denied entrance to the Promised Land, his family suffers. But he overcomes.Through the example of Moses' remarkable resilience, we learn how to weather the disillusionment of dreams unfulfilled, the pain of a lost job or promotion, a child's failures, divorce or abandonment, and illness. We learn how to meet all disappointments with faith in ourselves and the future, and how to respond to heartbreak with understanding rather than bitterness and despair.This is a book of spiritual wisdom--as practical as it is inspiring.From the Hardcover edition.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2c5hf481x60gbg0txxw5aj.jpg?v=84b9d34086","L*R.7Dt7oLof*JkCa|fkQmayjZf6",2006,231,[448],{"id":449,"slug":450,"name":451},"01kx2c5heynyztspa62kddc4jg","harold-s-kushner-kqnm","Harold S.

We often think of doubt as the opposite of faith, but could it actually strengthen our relationship with God? According to John Ortberg, best-selling author and pastor, the very nature of faith requires the presence of uncertainty. In this refreshingly candid look at a life of faith, he traces the line between belief and unbelief: less a dividing line between hostile camps than a razor's edge that runs through every soul. His findings point us toward the relief of being totally honest. Questions can expand our understanding, uncertainty can lead to trust, and honest faith can produce outrageous hope. Written from Ortberg's own struggle with faith and doubt, this book will challenge, comfort, and inspire you with the truth that God wants all of us---including our doubts.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzra2ap4xebp6sb2j1mk1ph.jpg?v=00c9598b50","L16bikL}00tLujk@BtIV?_t%Dzt7",2008,"3.00",[509],{"id":510,"slug":511,"name":512},"01kpegsp9xh3d0k5z02d2zvc11","john-ortberg-z7lh","John Ortberg",[514,515],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":516,"name":517,"slug":518,"is_fiction":19},97,"Spirituality","spirituality",[],{"pace":156,"complexity":7,"audience":159,"mood":521,"themes":522,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[312,311],[],{"id":212,"slug":213,"title":214,"description":215,"primary_cover_url":216,"cover_blurhash":217,"first_publish_year":218,"community_rating_avg":219,"community_rating_count":220,"page_count":221,"authors":524,"genres":526,"series":530,"enrichment":531},[525],{"id":224,"slug":225,"name":226},[527,528,529],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":201,"name":202,"slug":203,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":156,"complexity":7,"audience":159,"mood":532,"themes":533,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[162,164],[],{"id":535,"slug":536,"title":537,"description":538,"primary_cover_url":539,"cover_blurhash":540,"first_publish_year":321,"community_rating_avg":470,"community_rating_count":220,"page_count":541,"authors":542,"genres":547,"series":551,"enrichment":552},"01kx244r6kr9zkwmxtq30py2b4","every-day-i-pray-prayers-for-awakening-to-the-grace-of-inner-communion-2px9","Every Day I Pray Prayers for Awakening to the Grace of Inner Communion","“The most powerful spiritual healer, fixer, teacher on the planet.” —Oprah Winfrey From the bestselling author of Until Today! and One Day My Soul Just Opened Up comes a unique invitation to prayer—and her most deeply personal book yet.

Nana's garden is her prize possession; it is cultivated with love, life experiences, and wisdom which blooms from the petals of every flower. Miranda adores her Nana; she was practically raised by her due to the demanding careers held by her parents, who seemed to give more time to their professions than they gave to their only child. Despite the fact that Nana gave Miranda more than enough love during her childhood to make up for what she lacked in receiving from her parents, a void still continued to grow in Miranda's soul as she became a woman. Her heart became fragile, and she longed for her mother's love and approval. From her pursuit of an occupation, to her ultimate choice of a man, Miranda's mother always seems to look down on her daughter's decisions in life. Miranda's soul fills with more and more doubt of ever obtaining a loving and healthy relationship with her mother. It's a hard pill for Miranda to swallow, and she almost loses all hope; that is until death comes knocking at both of their doors. Reflecting on the wisdom she obtained in Nana's garden, Miranda believes that the power of prayer and having faith the size of a mustard seed will be the ultimate remedy in fixing her disheartened soul. The seeds of prayer, faith, and love were planted in Miranda's heart from childhood; a rose grew inside her, resulting in her becoming the strong-willed Christian woman that Nana always believed she could be. But will that be enough to deter the devil from feeding Miranda's heart with fear and doubt?","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2f77r8r80twd2qj3yqxm4h.jpg?v=f4112a1855","LtL:cZ%ho~%2~Btmo~t7NtoIW:bb",2020,268,[585],{"id":586,"slug":587,"name":588},"01kx2f77r309ybde7483z1xm7v","hurley-morgan-lzcq","Hurley Morgan",[590,594],{"id":591,"name":592,"slug":593,"is_fiction":18},33,"Contemporary Romance","contemporary-romance",{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":156,"complexity":7,"audience":159,"mood":597,"themes":599,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[598,482],"romantic",[600,601],"second-chance","coming-of-age",[]]
