Is there more to Buddhism than sitting in silent meditation? Is modern Buddhism relevant to the problems of daily life? Does it empower individuals to transform their lives? Or has Buddhism become too detached, so still and quiet that the Buddha has fallen asleep? Waking the Buddha tells the story of the Soka Gakkai International, the largest, most dynamic Buddhist movement in the world today and one that is waking up and shaking up Buddhism so it can truly work in ordinary people s lives. Drawing on his long personal experience as a Buddhist teacher, journalist, and editor, Clark Strand offers broad insight into how and why the Soka Gakkai, with its commitment to social justice and its egalitarian approach, has become a role model, not only for other schools of Buddhism, but for other religions as well. Readers will be inspired by the struggles and triumphs of the Soka Gakkai s three founding presidents individuals who staked their lives on the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and the extraordinary power of those teachings to help people become happy."Binding Type: Paperback

Very nice
Format: Hardcover
They greatly improved the font (ie. a kappa looks like a kappa) and the yellowish pages are easier on the eyes. I really like it.

Not as good as the first edition overall
Format: Hardcover
The Greek part has used the third edition of the reader's Greek New Testament. But the font is not as dark and readable as the independent reader's Greek New Testament. Also, the words on the opposite page can be easily seen.
The Hebrew part is the same as before in terms of content, but the fort is not as dark and readable as the previous editions. Also, the words on the opposite page can be easily seen.
The pages are yellow and are not comfortable to read.
It is thicker than the first edition, not portable as the first edition.
I have been waiting for this new edition for a long time because of the poor font format used in the second edition of the reader's Greek New Testament. After I received it, however, I was very disappointed. You just do not enjoy reading it and using it. It is even not as good as the original edition. It is not worth 60 bucks. I do not suggest you buy it if you want to read it and use it often. If for reference only, 30 bucks may be a fair price.

Christ is the Answer to All Your Eternal Longings! Is His Return Closer than We Imagine?
Format: Hardcover
Dr. David Jeremiah believes that biblical prophecies are being fulfilled in our time and that the return of Christ seems closer than ever! In this book he uses his powers of imagination to show us what the world might experience at the time of the rapture when billions of people will silently and invisibly disappear from the earth. This book is also well researched, biblically based and answers a lot of questions.
I had a moment of realization while reading this book. I had never considered why Jesus called himself the "door" but now it makes complete sense. There is also some information on the difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming.
To be honest this book contains the most truth I've ever read in one book besides the Bible. I was listening to the Christian radio station in my area and also listening to Mandisa's one CD about coming out of the dark. I have an interesting thing that happens to me. I will hear a word and see that same word at the same time while reading and also listening to lyrics in songs. These make up messages I believe are directly from God. The message while reading this book was: "Know Body Heart Soul Understand Jesus Believe Christ!" God could not have confirmed that this book is the truth any better!
As soon as I finished this book, my husband wanted to read it. It is quite captivating and shows that Christ is the answer to all your eternal longings. Is His return closer than we imagine? With what is going on in the world, I believe so! Read this book and renew your hope in Everlasting happiness and joy! I have sent a copy of this book to a friend as well. It is the type of book you want everyone you care about to read!!!!
