The other Islam : Sufism and the road to global harmony / by Schwartz, Stephen,1948-(CARDINAL)183391;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 247-259) and index.Introduction: Sufism--Islamic spirituality in a world of fear -- The great age of early Sufism -- Turkish Sufism and interfaith coexistence -- The wars against Sufism -- Sufis in today's Muslim world -- Sufis in the crisis states : Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Israel -- Sufism in transition : the West, Central Asia, Indonesia, and the world.Many Americans today identify Islam with hatred of the West. This book transforms this image and opens the way to finding common ground in our troubled times. Sufism, a blend of the mystical and rational tendencies within Islam, emerged soon after the revelation of Muhammad. A reforming movement against the increasing worldliness of Muslim society, it focuses on Islam's spiritual dimension. Described as "Islam of the heart," Sufism has attracted adherents among both Sunni and Shi'a Muslims, as well as Jews, Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists. Journalist Schwartz traces the origins and history of Sufism, elucidates its teachings, and illustrates its links to the other religions. He comments on celebrated Sufi poets and philosophers and narrates their influence on the Kabbalah, on the descendants of the Jewish philosopher Maimonides, and on Christian mystics, as well as the American transcendentalists. He also presents a fresh survey of Sufism in today's Islamic world.--From publisher description.

Field notes for the wilderness : practices for an evolving faith / by Bessey, Sarah,author.(CARDINAL)404411;
Includes bibliographical references."A nurturing and hopeful collection of practices to help an emerging generation of Christians reconnect to their faith, find inner healing, and build spiritual community--from Glennon Doyle's 'favorite faith writer' and the New York Times bestselling author of Jesus Feminist and editor of A Rhythm of Prayer. It's hard to leave a faith that has raised us. Maybe it's even harder to stay. But what can feel impossible is living in the tension. Living with a faith that evolves. Sarah Bessey is an expert at faithfully stumbling forward. As a New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of Evolving Faith, the foremost community for progressive Christians, she has been trusted by thousands of people to pursue a reconstruction of faith centered on compassion, truth, and inclusion. Bessey has found a deeply underserved and underestimated remnant in the wilderness of Christianity who are still devoted to Jesus, deeply rooted in the Gospel, fascinated with Scripture, and committed to reimagining their faith. Field Notes for the Wilderness guides us through multiple principles to live by for an evolving faith, including: practicing wonder and curiosity as spiritual disciplines, mothering ourselves with compassion and empathy, making space for lament and righteous rage, finding good spiritual teachers, and discovering what we are for in this life, and moving in that direction. In this groundbreaking and nurturing book, Bessey becomes a shepherd for our curiosity, giving us a table for our questions, tools to cultivate what we crave, and a blessing for what was--even as we leave it behind"--

Church for everyone : building a multi-inclusive community for emerging generations / by Kreiss, Dan,1965-author; Smith, Efrem(Efrem D.),1969-author(CARDINAL)468172;
Includes bibliographical referencesDiversity is a high value for younger generations--but too often, they're not finding it in the church. Emerging generations in the West are more diverse than ever--ethnically, socioeconomically, educationally, and politically. And as church attendance among younger generations declines rapidly, research shows that one of their primary sticking points is the lack of diversity in most churches. In Church for Everyone, pastors Dan Kreiss and Efrem Smith address this phenomenon head-on. In this research-based, theologically informed, and practical book, they explore the younger generations' expectations and disappointments with church and hold out a vision for true diversity taken from the pages of Scripture. As experienced church leaders themselves, Kreiss and Smith share a wealth of practical experience and stories from the trenches of multiethnic ministry. The good news is that God has already called the church to diversity. As we seek to live out this calling in our own local contexts, we can become the demonstration of God's love for all humanity that he has designed the church to be--and that the younger generation is so desperately looking for. --
