The seven deadly sins--lust, greed, envy, anger, pride, gluttony, and sloth--are our main antagonists in this struggle.

One need only read the daily paper to see that these seven sins are alive and well, deadlier than ever, spawning violence and suffering, illness and anxiety, loss of meaning and depression. An arrogant yuppie considers suicide after losing his job on Wall Street, which had been the fragile basis of his false pride.

In \u003cem\u003eBig Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e, Kelly Bulkeley provides the first full-scale cognitive scientific analysis of such dreams, putting forth an original theory about their formation, function, and meaning. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBig dreams have played significant roles in religious and cultural history, but because of their infrequent occurrence and fantastical features, they have rarely been studied in light of modern science.

Written as a narrative from a perspective of a man in search of spiritual fulfillment, New Views of Christianity sees Brownson draw contrasts and distinctions between different denominations and groups who term themselves Christian.

Many Christians struggle to maintain a successful marriage, and many continue to cover up issues of infidelity, abuse, unhappiness, guilt and pain. The subject of divorce in the church is seldom discussed. Why? Because most people assume Christians don't get divorces. The author debunks this myth, and she names some of the high profile divorces in the church Divorce, in and of itself, is a traumatic experience, which splits families and relatives, but in a church setting, it can split congregations. Spiritually after going through this upheaval, the author finds God never left her, and she finds her purpose in life--helping others in the same situation. The author looks at the history of previous generations, who used to stick marriage out 'til death do them part, then compares that to the phenomena of the modern, \"want-more\" generation. From materialism to infidelity, the author examines the many contributing factors to the epidemic of divorce in the church today You will learn: 1. How to seek help through counseling, a support group, etc. 2. Why Christians Stay in broken marriages.. 3. How to get through the grieving process. 4. How to embrace your new life as a single person Complete with scriptures, stories, and examples of high-profile divorces in the religious arena, Divorce in the Church, is a timely book.
