A verse-by-verse study of the Gospel of John intended for new believers.

It's unfashionable today to talk about, preach or teach the fear of God. Consequently very few Christians understand what it is, much less the benefit it brings to our lives. Jesus commanded it, and God uses both fear and love to motivate, correct, guide and form us into the image of his Son. Only by understanding them both can we fulfill our calling as lights in the world. "Why Are We So Afraid ... Of the Fear of God?" can transform how you view, serve, and follow the Lover of your soul.

Tales of the Silk Road describes one of the author's several journeys between Europe and the Orient. The trip sought routes taken by Marco Polo, Alexander the Great, and Papal emissaries. Beginning in Venice, as did Polo, the path led mostly overland through Anatolia and Central Asia and China before proceeding to Islamabad via the Karakoram Highway and the Khunjerab Pass. Tales of the Silk Road mixes travel descriptions of exotic lands with careful social assessments and intense personal experiences. Historical context supports the tales.

Logician, lover, misogynist, poet, Nietzsche is a contradictory genius for our time, a psychological colossus astride our cultural abyss: - one day he fell in love with a girl half his age... A radical new play about Nietzsche, 'To Hell in a Handcart' dares to bring our era's greatest philosopher to life at a crisis moment in his turbulent existence. Unfolding in one tumultuous month in the heat of Italy and the stark purity of the German Alps, the play pitches the forces of love and logic against each other in the arena of Nietzsche's obsession with 20 year old Lou Salome. The resulting confrontation threatens to destroy the great philosopher.... Seriously? A play about Nietzsche? Certainly, to pick up one of Nietzsche's books is to be conscious of the spiritual dynamite in one's hands. ('I am not a man. I am dynamite' Ecce Homo.) The question then follows: to what use will one put this spiritual explosive in one's own life? Certainly, any playwright even remotely respectful of the psychological proportions of this cultural colossus must deal with the problem of reducing Nietzsche to the status of a mere foil for yet another tedious romance. Nietzsche was, of course, infinitely more than a mere romantic. That said, his proverbially doomed love for Lou Salome did mark a pivotal point in his artistic, philosophical and spiritual career. Indeed, he was to observe afterwards in a letter 'if I cannot turn even this muck to gold then I am lost...'. To this extent, then, it seemed to me valid to depict Nietzsche as these formidable forces confronted him and impinged both on his common humanity and his uncommon philosophical aspirations. In THHC, Nietzsche's obsession with Salome thus becomes the fulcrum upon which he determines the veracity and depth of his own philosophical insights: if they are true and real, then they must prove so at all times, especially including, of course, where THHC is concerned, under the tumultuous stress of his relationship with Salome. Add to this fact the consideration that it is always fascinating to see how great hearts and minds react under pressure, then you have my motivation for depicting Nietzsche in this way and at this precise time in his life. Great souls pass on the tradition of humanistic excellence to successive generations - without them vision founders. In our age, beset as it is by materialistic and corporate forces seeking to eclipse man's hunger and capacity for that same spiritual excellence, Nietzsche's crucial message has never been more relevant.

A parallel verse-by-verse commentary on the Gospel of John from two very different perspectives and addressing two very different audiences: a Messianic Jewish Rabbi speaking to his home congregation, and a convicted felon - a Gentile - teaching a class of brand-new converts ... as a prisoner himself. The Gospel of John contains some of the Bible's best-known verses ("For God so loved the world ...") yet also some of its most profound truths. "Lifted Up" challenges conventional views of the Gospel while highlighting the power of God not only to bring His own Chosen People to faith, but also to transform lives shattered by rebellion, addiction and sin. It is a volume not to be missed by the sincere follower of the First-Century Jewish Rabbi most of us call Jesus, whose Hebrew name is Yeshua.

A study of self worth from a Scriptural perspective, "More than a Sparrow" is written not to those to whom the Spirit is saying, "You must be broken," but, "You have value and may be healed."

Shattered by the most mysterious event of his life, forced to abandon his high-rolling job in The City, with a young wife and baby at home, Matt Grant faces ruin. Then he sees that advert on the back of a London bus. How hard can it be..? Crash The Bus is one man's true story of colliding with his own destiny at the wheel of a London bus - and taking everyone on board with him.

In the summer of 2016 James Murphy made a trip to Norway to see the midnight sun. The midnight sun is a spectacle that is witnessed near Arctic latitudes each year in late June during the summer solstice. The first day of summer marks the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, and sunlight can be seen for all hours of the day. The mere thought of 24 hours of daylight kicked James to rekindle a friendship with a buddy from Norway and take a week's vacation in the beautiful Scandinavian country of Norway. With a backpack on his shoulders, James crossed the pond alone, and spent 7 days roaming Norway and the cities and Trondheim and Oslo with his buddy, Einar. The exotic land produced soul that spoke to the spirit of something strange and new to James. The endless daylight and camaraderie rolled across the landscape of coasts and mountains breeding endless breath and vigor into the writer. The food and the fare extracted an innocent zest. Lots of smiling, laughter, and deep thought were gained and gathered. When the air is new and the friendship is old, status becomes null and void. The feel-good factor hits a maximum and the perception is keen to the freshness of the air. The Norwegian air is some of the freshest James has ever tasted, and in the Midnight Sun, James shares that aura with you, the reader.

Etty Hillesum, a beautiful, young emancipated Jewish woman, was incarcerated at the transit camp of Westerbork and murdered at Auschwitz. James Murphy's Beauty and Horror in a Concentration Camp is a powerful analysis of her well-respected but not widely known Diary, a profoundly spiritual depiction of how she wrestled with God and with suffering. Murphy argues convincingly that Hillesum's diary, which conveys her unique ability to appreciate the majesty and vitality of life even in the all-pervasive presence of death, is one of the most spiritually important documents to emerge from the ashes of the Holocaust. Murphy presents a most Catholic and most respectful reading of this Jewish woman's life, who remained with her people to the end.

Kids and Kingdom challenges the traditional view that Jesus was deeply concerned over children. Instead, it is argued that despite the Synoptic authors' attempts to convince us that children are fully included in the kingdom of God--that ""Jesus loves the little children""--their presentations fail to conceal images of household disruption and alienation of children brought about by Jesus' eschatological movement.After establishing what Greco-Roman and Jewish sources reveal about children by the end of the first century, a deconstructive literary approach is applied to the Synoptic Gospels, foregrounding children over other characters in relation to Jesus' adult ministry. Murphy scrutinizes prominent healing narratives involving children, and teachings involving children such as ""The Child in the Midst"" (Mark 9:36-37 and parallels), ""One of These Little Ones"" (Mark 9:42 and parallels), and ""Let the Young Children Come to Me"" (Mark 10:13-16 and parallels). These are examined against sayings of Jesus relativizing family ties and the lifestyle indicative of the radical call to discipleship in the Synoptic narratives. Fundamentally, this study does not seek to resolve but to highlight the tensions in the Synoptic Gospels between attempts at child inclusivity and the radical demands of discipleship.

A provocative account of the brutal persecution of the Catholic Church in Mexico in the 1920s and 1930s that tells the stories of eight pivotal players. The saints are now honored as martyrs by the Catholic Church, and the sinners were political and military leaders who were accomplices in the persecution.
