If God is the greatest mystery of them all, then why not, in pursuit of God, consult the greatest detective of them all? In this imaginative and surprisingly profound book, Stephen Kendrick reveals Sherlock Holmes as spiritual guide.
Drawing on the teachings of Christianity, Buddhism, and Judaism--as well as a host of thinkers as varied as Albert Einstein, Gandhi, and Vincent van Gogh--Kendrick explores the stories of Sherlock Holmes and finds remarkably prescient religious insights. He shows us the link between careful observation of clues and the Buddhist concept of "Bare Attention." He...

In 1847, a five-year-old African American girl named Sarah Roberts was forced to walk past five white schools to attend the poor and densely crowded all-black Abiel Smith School on Boston's Beacon Hill. Incensed that his daughter had been turned away at each white school, her father, Benjamin, sued the city of Boston on her behalf. The historic case that followed set the stage for over a century of struggle, culminating in 1954 with the unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education.

The British Sociological Association held a conference on the theme "Sociology and History." In 1964, E.H. Carr had called for an open frontier between the disciplines. This book examines the traffic across this frontier and in particular, what might be called the sociological uses of history.

Featured in the 2008 motion picture "Fireproof," now available on DVD, this "New York Times" and "Publishers Weekly"-bestselling devotional is now available in a special Legacy Edition. Clad in an embossed simulated leather binding, this 40-day guided devotional is designed to strengthen marriages in trouble.

The Resolution: A Small-Group Study for Men was inspired by the resolution challenge featured in the movie COURAGEOUS. The resolution contained 12 commitments related to characteristics that all men of God want to pursue, such as responsibility, faithfulness, honor, justice, forgiveness, integrity, and courage. The Resolution Bible study walks participants through each of the 12 challenges, identifying their biblical roots and outlining how to live out each godly principle in real life.

What's the most important thing in your life?

Jay Austin did what it took to get ahead and make the quick sell at work. Problem was--the more successful he was, the more he traded what really mattered. His integrity. His relationship with his wife. His time with his son.
