The first compilation that brings together publications on New Religious Movements (NRMs) from across Western Europe, this useful work includes titles written in most European languages. The Introduction provides an overview of NRMs since 1960 and places them in a global perspective. The literature, from the late 1970s to the present, covers areas of study such as sociology, psychology, history, theology, and more, and will be of interest to scholars and students in many disciplines. The work is a companion piece to Diane Choquette''s New Religious Movements in the United States and Canada: A Critical Assessment (Greenwood, 1985). The authors, experts in NRMs throughout the world, discuss various explanatory models that account for the emergence of NRMs and look at the way they have spread throughout the countries of Western Europe. Membership and impact are discussed, as well as the response of the wider society. The label new is addressed and some attempts at classification are presented.

Baby Moses and the River of Faith" is a captivating installment in the "Little Blessings: Baby Bible Heroes'' Faithful Beginnings" series, tailored for readers aged 0-3. The story unfolds against the backdrop of miracles and whispers of divine plans in a land filled with wonders. In this tale, baby Moses enters the world under a cloud of uncertainty, with his mother facing a difficult choice. Woven into a carefully crafted basket, Moses is set adrift in the river, cradled by the gentle flow, embarking on a journey unknown. His sister Miriam watches from afar, anchored in hope and trust in God''s unfolding plan. As the river carries Moses through twists and turns, he becomes an unexpected recipient of royal kindness. Pharaoh''s daughter lifts him from the river''s embrace, setting the stage for a miraculous journey. Miriam steps forward courageously, offering to find a nurse for the baby. The narrative follows Moses as he grows in the palace, surrounded by luxury, yet carrying the whispers of God''s plan in his heart. From this tiny beginning, Moses evolves into a young man who chooses the path of courage, justice, and a steadfast commitment to God. The story beautifully captures Moses'' encounters with divine presence, including the burning bush and the parting of the Red Sea. From interpreting dreams to leading the Israelites, Moses'' journey reflects trust, resilience, and unwavering faith in God''s guidance. The tale closes with Moses gazing upon the Promised Land, illustrating how a humble basket journeyed through faith''s twists and turns to become a powerful testament to God''s plan. "Baby Moses and the River of Faith" serves as an engaging introduction to faith, trust, and the miraculous interventions of a loving God for the youngest readers.
