The Stations of the Cross from the perspective of Mary Magdalene come to life with historical and archeological references and beautiful reflections and prayers. In a fresh take on the Stations of the Cross, this version gives a human voice - and a female voice, that of Mary Magdalene - to the Stations, interweaving with history and archeology of the actual sites on the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, today. The result is a profound and beautiful experience that touches the heart and enriches the mind.

What if the greatest barrier to peace in your life isn’t your circumstances—but your standards? In a world obsessed with flawless holidays, perfect families, and curated lives, many of us silently crumble under the weight of impossible expectations. We tell ourselves that if we can just work harder, do better, and fix everything, then—finally—we’ll feel peace. But the truth is far more freeing: perfection and peace cannot coexist. One must give way to the other. In Perfection Is the Enemy of Peace, Pastor John E. Miller offers a compassionate, faith-rooted look at how ...

Watch out. God is on the way. It's not within our own power to make a fresh start. If we're to have a future different from the past, it must come as a gift, something not of our devising. What we need is a God who refuses to be trapped in eternity, a God who not only cares about us but is...

When we are initiated into the church with the water of baptism, we (or our sponsors) answer a series of questions called the Baptismal Covenant. The first three questions echo the words of our creeds, our beliefs about God and the church. The last five questions focus on action. They each begin with the words: "Will You?" These "Will You" questions articulate how we are to animate our baptism, to follow Christ's example in our relationships with others, our communities, and the world.

Each Christmas, adults and children alike delight at the story of the kings from the East who followed the star to Bethlehem to offer gifts to the newborn Christ. While this familiar tale is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, another little-known version later emerged that claimed to be the eyewitness account of the wise men. This ancient manuscript has lain hidden for centuries in the vaults of the Vatican Library, but through the determined persistence of a young scholar, Brent Landau, this astonishing discovery has been translated into English for the very first time as the Revelation of the Magi.

Holly only planned on a quick stop to Candy Cane Creek to gather notes for her travel blog, not to get stranded in the most Christmas-obsessed small town imaginable. But when her car breaks down beneath the town's nauseatingly festive welcome sign, she's forced to rely on the town's pet shelter owner (and holiday enthusiast), Rex Wellington.

When we picture the first Advent, we see Mary and Joseph huddled by a manger. We picture Gabriel, magi, and shepherds tending their flocks. A shining star against a midnight sky. But this harmonized version has lifted the Advent story out of its context--those who experienced the first Advent had to travel through great darkness to reach the hope that shining star announced. Trusted scholar and community organizer Kelley Nikondeha takes us back, to where the landscape of Palestine is once again the geographic, socioeconomic, and political backdrop for the Advent story.
