Vroue speel nog altyd 'n sentrale rol in ons samelewing. Hul rol as versorgers word erken, maar wat van oa in die kerk of sakewêreld? Het die vrou se rol oor die jare verander? Bettina Wyngaard ontleed die kwessie in 'n gesprek tussen toeka en nou en Bybel en grondwet. Sy gaan kyk na die sogenaamde "text of terrors" en hoe die eerste vroue bygedra het tot die vryheid wat vroue vandag het in alle sfere van die samelewing geniet. Maak nie saak hoe stadig hul vorentoe beweeg nie, hul beweeg.

When the New Atheists famously coined the phrase 'There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life,' they implicitly suggested that it was no longer reasonable to believe in God. Brian Harris tackles three of the most common accusations made against the Christian faith, namely that Christianity is intellectually vacuous, morally suspect and experientially empty. He looks at each accusation in turn, outlining the issue in the first chapter of each section, then looking at evidence against the claim before evaluating the argument as a whole. He is clear that he is not trying to 'prove' that Christianity is true as he acknowledges that absolute proof is impossible in this life, and in reality there are many tough and challenging questions to be faced - whether you are a Christian believer, a believer in another faith, an agnostic or an atheist. This book explores these questions in a rigorous but accessible way. It doesn't offer easy, solve everything answers, but it does build a cumulative case based on reason, history and experience to suggest that God probably exists, and that the Christian understanding of God could well be valid.

An invitation to an ordinary yet radical way of life, using historic Christian practices as both inspiring vision and practical instruction for how to encounter the wondrous, mysterious, living God through prayer. Prayer is the source of Jesus's most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus's most audacious promises, and yet, most people--even most Bible-believing Christians--find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing, confusing, or, most often, all of the above. If you've ever felt this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined. In these pages, Tyler Staton--author, pastor, and national director of the 24/7 Prayer movement--addresses common roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God just as you are. Through biblical teaching, powerful storytelling, and insights on historic Christian practices, Staton helps you . . . Express your doubts and disappointments about prayer Discover and practice multiple postures of prayer, including silence, persistence, confession, and more Understand and embrace the wonder and mystery of prayer in everyday life Realize that prayer is a powerful invitation to partner with God in the redemption of a fallen world And, ultimately, open or reopen the line of communication with your Creator and experience afresh his divine power on earth

Genesing vir elke vrou lei die leser deur dit wat hulle terughou in die lewe en om hul ware identiteit op te eis as geliefde van Christus.

Kan ’n vrou wat diep seergemaak is deur die lewe in haar hart en siel genees word? As sy verwond is deur ’n man wat sy vertrou het, kan sy weer liefde vind? As ’n vrou wat self jare se misbruik, verwerping en verraad moes verduur van dié naaste aan haar, kan Joyce Meyer met ’n weergalmende “Ja!” antwoord. Sy put inspirasie uit haar eie geskiedenis van mishandeling om te wys hoe Jesus Christus se verlossende liefde vroue se emosionele wonde kan genees en vreugde terugbring in hul lewe. Joyce se positiwiteit spruit uit haar eie lewensreis, en omdat sy al soveel vroue gehelp het wat gedink het hulle kan nie hul pyn ten volle oorkom nie – of selfs weet waar om te begin nie. Dit doen sy deur vroue te rig na die Woord en die lewensveranderende wysheid wat daarin te vinde is. Elke hoofstuk lei die leser deur wat dit ook al is wat hulle terughou in die lewe en om hul ware identiteit op te eis as geliefde van Christus. God kan al jou pyn wegneem!

Kan ’n vrou wat diep seergemaak is deur die lewe in haar hart en siel genees word? Genesing vir elke vrou lei die leser deur dit wat hulle terughou in die lewe en om hul ware identiteit op te eis as geliefde van Christus. God kan al jou pyn wegneem!

Ontvang genesing vir jou emosionele wonde en ontdek jou lewensdoel as God se dogter in hierdie 90-daedagstukkieboek deur die internasionaal-bekende Joyce Meyer.

Genesing vir elke vrou dagstukkies delf diep in Joyce Meyer se eie lewensverhaal en haar reis na genesing. Ten spyte van jare se mishandeling, verwerping en verraad deur die mense die naaste aan haar, glo Joyce dat elke vrou wat diep seergekry het deur lewensomstandighede, ten volle genees kan word in hart en siel. Haar onwankelbare aanspraak het ontstaan uit haar reis na genesing van haar eie siel, en ook die pad wat sy gestap het met soveel vroue wat nie wou glo dat hulle hul pyn ten volle sou oorwin en wat riglyne in die lewegewende wysheid van die Bybel gevind het nie.

Joyce neem jou op ’n 90-dae-reis om jou te bemoedig deur die lewe se struikelblokke om jou ware lewensdoel te bereik. Die Here kan jou pyn genees, en Hy wil dit in jou hart doen. Laat Genesing vir elke vrou dagstukkies jou inspireer op jou pad na die wonderlike, vreugdevolle toekoms wat God vir jou beplan het!

Many people seem to have it all together, while inside they are devastated. Their past has broken, crushed and wounded them inwardly. But there is hope for inner healing. Isaiah 61 reveals that the Lord came to heal the brokenhearted. Joyce Meyer speaks from experience. As a child she was a victim of physical and sexual abuse, yet today she has a worldwide ministry of emotional healing to others like herself.

Beauty for Ashes describes the truths that brought healing to her life and explains how you too can experience God’s healing.In Beauty for Ashes you will learn: how to deal with the emotional pain of abuse; how to understand your responsibility towards emotional healing; why victims of abuse often suffer from other addictive behaviours; how to grab hold of God’s unconditional love; and the importance of God’s timing in working through painful memories.

The most fundamental flaw in society is fatherlessness. It is time to delve into the roots of this problem in ourselves and in our communities. It is time to recognize the impact of father wounds in our own lives. Some of those wounds have created hell on earth, not heaven. It is time to seriously take up the responsibility of fatherhood so that the sins of our fathers will not continue to destroy God’s marvelous intention for our lives. It is the time to recognize how a world suffers when Father God is not taken seriously and when His ways are not transferred by His image bearers.

The World Needs A Father will be your guide to understand your role as a father so that the ripples can start flowing through your home, your community and eventually the world. You will learn how a father:

• Establishes moral authority
• Confers identity
• Provides security
• Affirms potential

Finding the Power to Live One Day at a Time draws on the Twelve Step programme developed by Alcoholics Anonymous. It has been written for people who:

struggle with worry and anxiety;
struggle with some form of compulsive and addictive behavior;
feel trapped by feelings of guilt and regret and self-condemnation;
battle with increasing levels of stress and tension; or
may worship on a regular basis but somehow feel that their faith has become bogged down in empty ritual.

This is a book of hope—it reminds readers that there are others like them, and that it is possible to experience a new depth and freedom and joy in their daily lives.

Each chapter covers one of the Twelve Steps. It clearly shows readers how to apply it to their lives, and invites them to take it further in group sharing through the discussion starters at the end of each chapter.

The 366 daily devotions in A Mustard Seed are dedicated to those believers who have to get up every morning and walk the talk, go through the daily grind and face their day-to-day challenges.

This devotional is for every believer who needs a mustard seed of faith to get through every day so they can walk in the fullness of what God has prepared for them in His kingdom.

This booklet is a concise and easy-to-read study of the very real questions surrounding Jesus that your guests might be thinking about when first attending your church or Alpha: Who is Jesus? Why do we need Him? Why did He have to die? Why is He relevant to my life today? These booklets are an effective evangelistic tool to pass out to guests at your services or at Alpha, sharing the Gospel in a warm and relevant way.

Alpha is based on a pattern found in the New Testament of people bringing their friends, family, and work colleagues to meet Jesus. Alpha is an easy way to say to friends, "Come and see, come and explore your questions, come and hear about Jesus, come and see for yourself." Everyone is welcome at Alpha, but the program is designed especially for people who would not describe themselves as Christians or church-goers.

For many, anxiety is a powerful giant that would like you to believe that your life will never be normal again. A giant that traps you in darkness and defeat. But, you can live free from anxiety.

Knowing first-hand the reality of the battle of anxiety, pastor Louie Giglio shares both practical and spiritual ways to walk in freedom. With encouragement and hope he unfolds the truth in the paradox that anxiety is dead but still deadly—namely, that while the reality of anxiety might be intimidating, there is One whose power has already won the battle.

Putting an X Through Anxiety will show you how to put an "X" through your anxiety using the strongest of weapons: the cross of Jesus. Each day of the journey will help you put one foot forward in the battle, breaking through strongholds where Jesus has already fought for you and won.

Vroue in vandag se samelewing gaan gebuk onder gevoelens van onsekerheid. Om daarvoor te vergoed is hulle geneig om ’n vals beeld van sekerheid en selfvertroue te projekteer wat uiteindelik tot gevoelens van skaamte lei. Hierdie gebrek aan selfvertroue veroorsaak probleme in alle verhoudings en in huwelike kan dit selfs tot egskeiding lei.

In Leef voluit en vreesloos (in sy nuwe gerieflike kleiner formaat) ondersoek Joyce die sewe kenmerke van ’n vrou met selfvertroue waaronder ’n vrou wat weet dat sy geliefd is wat weier om in vrees te lewe en wat nie leef deur haarself met ander te vergelyk nie. Ware selfvertroue is om geloof in Christus te hê en bereid te wees om te leer.

Vroue is ’n kosbare geskenk van God aan die wêreld. Dit is ook waar van jou. Leer hoe om vrees te oorkom en met vertroue ’n opwindende betekenisvolle en doelgerigte lewe tegemoet te stap.
