A Brief History Of The Holy
Grail, The Legendary Quest,
History, Myth, Religion By
Giles Morgan, Religion Book

A Brief History of the
Holy Grail charts the
origins of the grail
story from early
Christian gospels through
to eastern mysticism and
the rise of medieval
romances and Arthurian
legends. The grail
reappears once more in
the story of the Crusades
and in particular the
rise and dramatic fall of
the Knight Templars, who
it is said were the
guardians of the cup,
newly discovered in
Jerusalem. The myths have
been more powerful that
the facts and the allure
of the Grail has
attracted the attention
of modern writers and
artist in search of an
ancient symbol of purity:
psychologist Carl Jung,
composer Richard Wagner,
poets William Blake, and
T S Eliot, the
Pre-Raphelite painters
have all been seduced by
the legend. Today the
grail quest can be found
in films such as Lord of
the Rings, Star Wars,
Indiana Jones, and
Excalibur, as well as
Dan Brown's Da Vinci
Code. This book has 176
pages and is 19.6cm x

The Heirs Of The Prophet
Muhammad, And The Roots Of The
Sunni-Shia Schism By Barnaby
Rogerson, Religion Book

The Prophet Muhammad
taught the word of God to
the Arabs. Within a
generation of his death,
his followers - as vivid
a cast of heroic
individuals as history
has known - had exploded
out of Arabia to confront
the two great superpowers
of the seventh-century
and establish Islam and a
new civilization. That
the protagonists
originated from the small
oasis communities of
central Arabia gives
their adventures, their
rivalries, their loves
and their achievements an
additional vivacity and
intimacy. So that on one
hand, THE HEIRS OF THE
PROPHET MUHAMMAD is a
swaggering saga of
ambition, immense
achievement,
self-sacrificing nobility
and blood rivalry, while
on the other it allows us
to understand some of the
complexities of our
modern world. For within
this fifty-year span of
conquest and
empire-building, Barnaby
Rogerson also identifies
the seeds of discord that
destroyed the unity of
Islam, and traces the
roots of the schism
between Sunni and Shia
Muslims to the rivalry of
the two individuals who
best knew and loved the
Prophet: his cousin and
son-in-law Ali and his
wife Aisha. This book has
415 pages and is 12.6 x
19.7 x 3.2 cm

The Prodigal God, Recovering
The Heart Of The Christian
Faith By Timothy Keller,
Religion Book

In THE PRODIGAL GOD, New
York pastor Timothy
Keller uses the story of
the prodigal son to shine
a light on the central,
beautiful message of
Jesus: the gospel of
grace, hope and
salvation. Keller argues
that the parable of the
prodigal son, while
Jesus' best-known
parable, is also his
least understood. He
introduces the reader to
all the characters in
this timeless story,
showing that it concerns
not just a wayward son,
but also a judgemental
older brother and, most
importantly, a loving
father. In this
challenging and inspiring
book, Timothy Keller
invites both faithful
believers and curious
outsiders to come to a
new and totally
life-changing
understanding of the
central message of the
Christian faith. This
book has 139 pages and is
12.9 x 1.1 x 19.7 cm

God In All Things By Gerard
Hughes, Religion Book

Gerard Hughes's
popularity lies in the
fact that he always
writes directly for the
individual struggling
with issues of faith and
life and gets right to
the heart of spiritual
needs and concerns. His
best-seller GOD OF
SURPRISES published
nearly 20 years ago has
sold nearly a quarter of
a million copies. GOD IN
ALL THINGS is a follow up
to that book written for
a different world and a
different spiritual
climate.This is a
guidebook for the inner
journey. It is about
recognising God in the
ordinary, in the joy and
sadness of things, about
knowing that God cannot
be separated from
whatever we experience.
It is written for people
on the fringes of
Christianity, or those
who are disillusioned
with church structures
and dogmatic theology.
Hughes has written this
book because he is
concerned at the split
between religion and
life, as if religion was
something apart and
detached from the rest of
God's creation. Apart
from being a brilliant
spiritual guide this book
is a call to a faith in
terminal decline to
enlarge its concept of
God and break out of the
straitjacket of pious
religion. This book has
245 pages and is 13.2 x
1.9 x 19.8cm

The Reason For God, Belief In
An Age Of Scepticism By
Timothy Keller, Religion Book

As the pastor of an
inner-city church in New
York City, Timothy
Keller has compiled a
list of the most
frequently voiced
'doubts' sceptics bring
to his church, as well
as the most important
reasons for faith. In THE
REASON FOR GOD, he
addresses each doubt and
explains each reason.
Keller uses literature,
philosophy, real-life
conversations, and
reasoning to explain how
faith in a Christian God
is a soundly rational
belief, held by
thoughtful people of
intellectual integrity
with a deep compassion
for those who truly want
to know the truth. This
book has 320 pages and is
19.6 x 12.8 x 2.6 cm
