Timeless wisdom on generosity and gratitude from the great Stoic philosopher Seneca
To give and receive well may be the most human thing you can do--but it is also the closest you can come to divinity. So argues the great Roman Stoic thinker Seneca (c. 4 BCE-65 CE) in his longest and most searching moral treatise, "On Benefits" (De Beneficiis). James Romm's splendid new translation of essential selections from this work conveys the heart of Seneca's argument that generosity and gratitude are among the most important of all virtues. For Seneca, the impulse to give to others lies at the very foundation of society; without it, we are helpless creatures, worse than wild beasts. But generosity did not arise randomly or by chance. Seneca sees it as part of our desire to emulate the gods, whose creation of the earth and heavens stands as the greatest gift of all. Seneca's soaring prose captures his wonder at that gift, and expresses a profound sense of gratitude that will inspire today's readers. Complete with an enlightening introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, How to Give is a timeless guide to the profound significance of true generosity.Binding Type: Hardcover

An absolutely important read.
Format: Paperback
I bought this book on a recommendation. I loved it. It is easy to read, explains itself well, and is very informative. It always gives scripture to back it up. I have read the Bible and continue to do so, but this book explains a lot of things and also refers to actual history to and current events. It was written in 1999, but proves itself to be very important in the year we live in today. I recommend this book to anyone who is a Christian, wants to be a Christian, or even people who don't know what they believe. The author of this book has made me a fan of his writings. If you decide to read this book, you won't regret it.

Important read but a little difficult to understand
Format: Hardcover
The beginning is a well written history on the background of what is happening in Revelations, how and why Revalations came about, and what will occur in the ends times. Lots of prophecy, (which I love to read about) but I am finding it difficult to understand. I am a fast reader, so maybe for someone else, who reads slowly and with intention, they may understand it better. I guess I was hoping for a little easier read and right to the point. This could be my problem and not the book! David Jeremiah is a wonderful pastor and his teachings are always relatable and easy to understand so as I write this, I think it's the reader's problem, not the writer :)

I wish we will all be ready
Format: Kindle
It's a wonderful book it helped me to learn so much that I didn't know before as Dr. David Jeremiah would say it's good to read books like this one ,but we must remember to be into The
Book every day , The word of God, The Holy Bible. This book (The Book Of. Signs) Is one of those books you want to keep reading like a good bag of Potato Chips you can't stop eating them.

A Beautifully Timeless Message, Freshly Told for Today!
I've been eagerly awaiting the release of "Jesus Loves the Little Children, All the Children of the World," by Tara Hackney, and it absolutely exceeds all expectations! This isn't just a children's book; it's a heartfelt and much-needed update to a beloved classic, delivering a powerful message of inclusive love that resonates deeply.
Tara has done an incredible job refreshing the lyrics, adding three new stanzas that beautifully articulate God's perfect and all-encompassing love for every child, no matter where they are from or how they were made. In a world that sometimes struggles with division, this book is a beacon of unity, celebrating the unique and wonderful way God created each individual.
The vibrant photographs of children from around the globe are captivating and truly bring the message to life, making it a delightful experience for both little ones and the grown-ups sharing it with them. The thoughtful design, with its sturdy board book format, rounded edges, and non-toxic coating, makes it perfectly safe and durable for even the littlest hands.
This book has quickly become a favorite in our home, and I can see it becoming a cherished resource in churches and schools as well. It's also now my go-to addition for all baby shower gifts! It's more than just a sing-along; it's an invitation to teach children about the boundless nature of God's love.
If you're looking for a charming, meaningful, and beautifully produced book to share with the children in your life, I wholeheartedly recommend "Jesus Loves the Little Children, All the Children of the World." Get your copy today – you won't be disappointed!
