C. W. Leadbeater Collection
A First in a series of collection's of C. W. Leadbeater's finest works. This collection contains: An Outline of Theosophy; A Textbook of Theosophy, Dreams, Invisible Helpers, The Life after Death, The Astral Plane, The Devachanic Plane, Clairvoyance, and The Monad. "For many a year men have been discussing, arguing, enquiring about certain great basic truths-about the existence and the nature of God, about His relation to man, and about the past and future of humanity. So radically have they differed upon these points, and so bitterly have they assailed and ridiculed one another's beliefs, that there has come to be a firmly-rooted popular opinion that with regard to all these matters there is no certainty available-nothing but vague speculation amid a cloud of unsound deductions drawn from ill-established premises. And this in spite of the very definite, though frequently incredible, assertions made on these subjects on behalf of the various religions. An Outline of Theosophy C. W. Leadbeater"

The Magical Diaries of Leah Hirsig, 1923-1925
Leah Hirsig was a Swiss-American occultist, follower and lover of the prominent British occultist Aleister Crowley in the 1920s. The self-styled Great Beast 666, Crowley was also the founder and prophet of the new religion Thelema. This annotated edition of Hirsig's complete magical diaries and previously unpublished correspondence between her and Crowley sheds new light on their relationship and the broader role of women in twentieth-century occultism. A schoolteacher by training who lived, loved, and travelled independently, Hirsig embodied the ideals of the New Woman, particularly in her attraction to a counter-normative occult movement. In 1920, Hirsig was appointed Crowley's Scarlet Woman, a title that identified her as the earthly avatar of the Thelemic goddess Babalon and as Crowley's feminine counterpart. In this role, Hirsig was essential in stewarding the Thelemic community during an eventful period, which coincided with the establishment of an Abbey of Thelema in Cefal羅, Sicily, and the authorship of several of Crowley's important magical works. In 1924, Hirsig was replaced as Scarlet Woman, but she remained devoted to Thelema for several years. Hirsig's magical diaries provide a unique window into the possibilities and challenges faced by women occultists in the early twentieth century. Her writing highlights how occult movements offered heightened opportunities for women's leadership while also being impacted by wider gender inequalities. The diaries are presented with a selection of previously unpublished letters and poems by Hirsig and Crowley, providing insight into their relationship and the period from Hirsig's attraction to Thelema in 1919 until her departure from the movement in 1927-1930. The book also includes an extensive editorial introduction that situates Hirsig within Thelema, twentieth-century occultism, and women's changing roles during this period.
The Giver Gets More
A poor widow with two coins and a man with more money than anyone in the world . . .A humble subway-riding secretary and an elite NFL quarterback . . . A 16-year-old waitress with a simple 8th-grade education and the founder of one of the most successful quick-serve restaurants in the country. Even as their circumstances vastly separate them, an unwavering faith in God's sovereignty inspirationally unite them in The Giver Gets More: A Christian Renaissance in Trusting and Tithing. At a time when a fading number of Christians trust the Lord with their resources, The Giver Gets More compellingly brings God's Word to the forefront alongside inspiring narratives, telling research, and important tools to exhort a Christian renaissance in the fullness of a trusting relationship with Christ inclusive of tithing and cheerful giving. Believers will see in a fresh new way the blessings found in God's promises. And they will unequivocally know the giver always gets more-on account of the One who gave it all. ................................................................................................................

Beyond Dispute
Fiercely divisive times call for radically different arguments. In our age of seemingly irreconcilable differences, argument is increasingly seen as a plague to be avoided or a contest to be won. Daniel Taub, an experienced peace negotiator and diplomat, argues that ancient Jewish wisdom offers a third way. Drawing from this tradition, and from his own experience at the heart of some of the world's toughest negotiations, in Beyond Dispute he makes the case for a radically different approach to help us come closer to truth and to each other. This approach sees argument not as a combat zone but as a joint enterprise, and its disputants not as jealous custodians of competing truths, but collaborative explorers. It seeks to create safe spaces not by outlawing controversial opinions but by welcoming them, and it offers a set of practical tools to rethink our own preconceptions. In fractious times it charts a way to build communities and societies that are resilient enough to face new and challenging ideas without fear. Weaving ancient insights with contemporary research in conflict resolution, as well as behind-the-scenes personal stories of diplomacy and negotiations, Beyond Dispute is a passionate call to rediscover and harness the vital and surprising power of a good argument.

The Cambridge Companion to Augustine’s Sermons
Augustine of Hippo is known for some of the greatest theological masterpieces in Christian history, notably, his Confessions, The Trinity, and The City of God. Over 900 of his sermons, a treasure trove of his insights into God, Scripture, and humanity, have also survived. Given the wide dissemination of many of these texts over the past 1600 years, Augustine is arguably the most influential preacher since the time of the apostles. In recent decades, scholars have paid more attention to his sermons, including those newly discovered, with the result that Augustine's preaching has become increasingly accessible to a broad audience. The Cambridge Companion to Augustine's Sermons furthers this work by offering essays from an international team of experts. It provides a reliable guide for scholars and students of early Christian biblical exegesis, liturgy, doctrine, social practices, and homiletics, as well as for those dedicated to the retrieval of early preaching for the Church today.
