A new biography of Alma Mahler (1879-1964), revealing a woman determined to wield power in a world that denied her agencyHistory has long vilified Alma Mahler. Critics accused her of distracting Gustav Mahler from his work, and her passionate love affairs shocked her peers. Drawing on Alma's vivid, sensual, and overlooked diaries, biographer Cate Haste recounts the untold and far more sympathetic story of this ambitious and talented woman. Though she dreamed of being the first woman to compose a famous opera, Alma was stifled by traditional social values. Eventually, she put her own dreams aside and wielded power and influence the only way she could, by supporting the art of more famous men. She worked alongside them and gained credit as their muse, commanding their love and demanding their respect.
Passionate Spirit restores vibrant humanity to a woman time turned into a caricature, providing an important correction to a history where systemic sexism has long erased women of talent.

Readable, concise, and clear
Format: Paperback
I am a fan of the late Dr. Heiser. He was a consummate scholar who was not afraid to challenge the status quo or tradition in cases where he felt Scripture was being mishandled or interpreted out of context. This book, the second of a two volume commentary series on the book of Enoch, was written to provide a readable commentary text to help the average person to understand this fascinating second temple period composition. I believe he succeeded admirably in navigating and explaining this work drawing heavily on the best scholarly interpretive sources.

Excellent commentary! Well documented!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Michael Heiser can be trusted to provide clear explanations of the text, the context and some of the various opposing schools of thought concerning a host of Biblical issues. He provides excellent resources and asks questions to help the seeker to understand what Scripture REALLY says.
Careful! Some of your denominational doctrines may need to be re-examined. But if that’s the case, isn’t “now” a better time than later? Be blessed on your journey 🙏
