Paperback. Zustand: Good. The presence of God in our lives is worth so much more when it is recognizable, appreciated, and personal. Fred Castor's work is really a telling of his own journey into the presence of God, ever so gently, and more often, ever so necessary. When an octogenarian picks up pen and paper to write as he's been directed, it's worth the effort to listen up, and to learn. He's been in the depths, and he has had assurances than can only come from a caring God. This is as close to a how-to spirituality manual as one will ever find. It is his thank you gift to God, and to those who desire faith, hope and Love.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book represents a continuation of study, debate, and conversation, particularly within the Episcopal Church in the U.S., concerning the authority and function of the Bible in the church. The content of the debate and conversation, however, will be of interest and benefit also to members of other church bodies. A helpful study guide appears at the beginning of the book to assist individuals and group to work through the various contributions and to draw their own conclusions regarding the Bible's role in today's church. The literal and plain sense of the scriptures, the matter in which the Bible is to be regarded as incarnate in history and human limitations, and the degree to which it is subject to historical conditions-these and a host of other critical issues provide the focus of the book. Special attention is directed to the issue of the growing biblical illiteracy in society, leading one of the contributors to warn that biblical illiteracy is the precursor to spiritual death and communal dissolution. The main chapters include The 'Official position' of the Episcopal Church on the Authority of Scripture: Historical Development and Ecumenical Comparison (J. Robert Wright); Holy Book, Holy People: A Study of the Authority and Use of the Bible (Charles P. Price); 'For Freedom Christ Has Set You Free': The Interpretation and Authority of Scripture in Contemporary Theologies of Liberation (Ellen K. Wondra); Reading the Bible as the Word of God (Stephen F. Noll); The Scriptures in the Life of the Church (Richard A. Norris, Jr.). The editor, Frederick Houk Borsch, is Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles.…

The Futures of School Reform represents the culminating work of a three-year discussion among national education leaders convened by the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Based on the recognition that current education reform efforts have reached their limits, the volume maps out a variety of bold visions that push the boundaries of our current thinking. Taken together, these visions identify the leverage points for generating dramatic change and highlight critical trade-offs among different courses of action. The goal of this book is not to present a menu of options.
