Hebraic Literature; Translations from the Talmud, Midrashim and Kabbala, by Vari
Among the absurd notions as to what the Talmud was, given credence in the Middle Ages, one was that it was a man! The mediaeval priest or peasant was perhaps wiser than he knew. Almost, might we say, the Talmud was Man, for it is a record of the doings, the beliefs, the usages, the hopes, the sufferings, the patience, the humor, the mentality, and the morality of the Jewish people for half a millennium.

Hindu Tales from the Sanskrit by S. M. Mitra and Nancy Bell
Hindu children become familiar at their mothers' knees with these stories, and are trained to answer questions on them, subtly chosen to suit their ages and call into action their mental faculties. Appealing to them as an amusing game, in which they vie with each other in trying to solve the problems presented for their consideration, the boys and girls, who are educated together till they are ten or twelve years old, early learn to concentrate their attention; whilst the simultaneous development of all their powers is encouraged and they are...

Hope of the Gospel, by George MacDonald
I would help some to understand what Jesus came from the home of our Father to be to us and do for us. Everything in the world is more or less misunderstood at first: we have to learn what it is, and come at length to see that it must be so, that it could not be otherwise. Then we know it; and we never know a thing really until we know it thus...

I Still Believe In Hell By Brian Jones
At first glance you'd probably think I'm resistant to change. I don't drink Starbucks coffee. I am not a big Abercrombie & Fitch fan. I'm still not used to women having tattoos. I am not getting an earring any time soon. The Palm Pilot craze has passed me by. I can't take pictures with my cell phone and...

LIFE OF ST. DECLAN OF ARDMORE, and LIFE OF ST. MOCHUDA OF LISMORE, With Introduc
A most distinctive class of ancient Irish literature, and probably the class that is least popularly familiar, is the hagiographical. It is, the present writer ventures to submit, as valuable as it is distinctive and as well worthy of study as it is neglected. While annals, tales and poetry have found editors the Lives of Irish Saints have remained largely a mine unworked.

Leading A Growing Church By Brian Jones
Recently I spent the day reflecting on my fumbling attempts to lead our church in growth. To say that I've felt unprepared for my current assignment is an understatement... the Three Stooges meet Forrest Gump strikes me as a more accurate picture. While my initial list filled three pages, here are f...

Legends Of The Gods, by E. A. Wallis Budge
The welcome which has been accorded to the volumes of this Series, and the fact that some of them have passed into second and third editions, suggest that these little books have been found useful by beginners in Egyptology and others. Hitherto the object of them has been to supply information about the Religion, Magic, Language, and History of the ancient Egyptians, and to provide editions of the original texts from which such information was derived.

Lord, Thou hast kept me through the night.

Making Things Harder By Brian Jones
In a letter historians call “The Epistle To Diognetus,” an unknown second century disciple wrote to a skeptic named Diognetus to answer his questions about this strange new religion called “Christianity.” The opening lines of his letter capture what people must have found so appealing about follower...

Mind and Thoughts by Premansu Chand
Patanjali in his scripture "Yogasutra" describes that there are fifty types of thoughts. However in spiritualism and Yoga one should believe in thoughts based on proof only. All other thoughts build up ignorance in the mind and hides the truth.

Myths and Legends of China, by E. T. C. Werner
The chief literary sources of Chinese myths are the Li tai shen hsien t'ung chien, in thirty-two volumes, the Shen hsien lieh chuan, in eight volumes, the Feng shen yen i, in eight volumes, and the Sou shen chi, in ten volumes. In writing the following pages I have translated or paraphrased largely from these works. I have also consulted and at times quoted from the excellent volumes on Chinese Superstitions by Pere Henri Dore, comprised in the valuable series Varietes Sinologiques, published by the Catholic Mission Press at Shanghai...

During my first year of college a life-long family friend and mentor tragically lost his son.

Overcoming Pride By Brian Jones
The first church I ever served was located in an extremely small town in Eastern Kentucky. There wasn't even a stop-light at the time. The church was full of wonderful farmers, which was ironic, because the only time I had ever been to a farm up until that time was on school field trips. On one occa...
