To acquaint himself with the soul of Islam J.Y. Atlas had openhearted conversations with influential Muslim scholars and artists. From Jakarta to New York, this Christian theologian met with imams and Sufis, academics and feminists, punkers and poets. The result is a book full of novel insights that will help us to transcend today's cultural and religious impasses.
Attempts of interfaith dialogue often stay away from the more difficult issues and remain somewhat superficial. With his 'Halal Monk' journey, Atlas wanted to go further. He wanted to get to the root of our current tensions. To do so, he spoke with people like Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, Abida Parveen, Imam Feisal Rauf, Amina Wadud, Kudsi Ergüner, Muhammad Abdel Haleem, Musdah Mulia, Ziauddin Sardar, Amir Sulaiman, Mona Siddiqui, Aki Nawaz, Peter Sanders, Cyrus McGoldrick, Abdulwahid Van Bommel and many others.
This book collects his most fascinating dialogues at the intersection of culture, society and religion. In between those conversations, some extra light is shed on key concepts of the Islamic tradition and their relevance for today's debates.
Topics as diverse as quranic exegesis, islamic mysticism and islamic feminism are all treated in a nuanced manner. Difficult subjects like islamic fundamentalism and jihad, aren't circumvented but placed within their context and clarified. Aspects of the islamic faith like sharia and ijtihad are explained and juxtaposed with the Christian tradition.

Wild Sparks’ Hadley Beckett isn’t the only Beckett with a broken past and a story to tell…
Thirty-year-old Jared Beckett has always lived his life unconsciously, contemptuously, single-handedly, and on his own terms, not caring what people think of him, or thinking much of the people who do care. His mother’s abandoning him when he was a toddler laid the bitter foundation in which he proceeded to build upon, but that was only the launch of his downward spiral. His father tried to do the best he could as a single parent, and even though Jared was an honor student and is now a talented structural engineer, he’s always felt slighted and compared to his older sister Hadley, increasing his hostility.
Adding to his foundation of resentment, and unbeknownst to anyone, when Jared was 16, he had met a girl in school who made him question his enduring doubts. They became fast friends, but feeling oddly different about her and not knowing how or why he wanted something more from their friendship, he became frustrated when she didn’t seem to return his advances. Their friendship grew strained, forced, and painful. On his last day of school, he finally said goodbye to her and didn’t look back, yet never moving forward, caught up in her memory, and regrets of what could have been.
Nearly 14 years after he said goodbye, Jared has returned to his hometown of Annapolis for the summer, as well as to his dark memories. However, with a new light illuminating them, revelations about his covert friendship are revealed, and as his secretive nature and progressing resentment deteriorates any relationships he has left, in an unexpected move, he reaches out to help her. With her in his life again, will he become even more entrenched in his acrimony or is she the only one who can bring down his walls, unlock Jared Beckett’s unconscious heart, and revive him before it’s too late for both of them?
She is looking for the one.
He never thought the one existed.
But the one thing that connects them can also tear them apart.

DISCOVER what`s been keeping you from weight loss success
After almost 30 years of helping thousands of people, just like you, to get in shape, I realized there is a lot more to losing weight than merely ‘diet and workout’. While those are essential elements, for many, they only result in the classic yo-yo diet effect, if any effect at all.
The causes for this are many but in essence, the reason you can’t successful keep weight off is because you are still in spiritual and emotional bondage, that must be identified and broken before any weight loss will become permanent.
The type of bondage of which I speak can be emotional eating, a false sense of identity, or a deep seated need to stay the way you are (which you might not even consciously realize). You cannot overcome these obstacles alone! If you could, you wouldn’t be here reading this right now. But you are not alone! God can and will help if you bring him into this area of your life. And I too will assist you, if you let me, through this book and our free Facebook group - the Weight Loss, God’s Way Challenge!

Before you go on another diet or weight loss program, you need to address the real issues that have kept you losing weight and keeping it off. Weight Loss, God's Way is not another Christian diet book, but helps you to finally understand why you do what you do (emotional eating, snacking, lack of exercise, lack of motivation, etc.) and how to begin to overcome those limiting beliefs, and issues, through a bible-based Christian approach that will help you to achieve permanent and natural weight loss, grow spiritually as you learn to trust more in God in all areas of your life and begin to treat yourself with the same love and care that God desires for you in the area of your health and weight.

From Kirkus Award-Winning Author Cidney Swanson
In the first book of urban mystery fused with fantasy series, M.E. Purfield with hardcore prose introduces a young heroine that's naively above the law and searching for redemption in a concrete jungle built on greed and delusion.
Miki Radicci is not your average sixteen-year-old city girl. She's emancipated from her grifter parents, a flavor of the month in the art world, and a psychic.
Her life turns upside down when she witnesses a murder of a young college girl in one of her visions. Not only does she grab the attention of the police, but also the killer.
To save her own life as well as her family, Miki delves into the victim's past and follows a trail that leads her into a dark world of underground modeling and low-level criminals. A path that will lead her closer to the killer than she thought.
