Daar woed elke dag, die hele dag lank, ’n onsigbare oorlog om vroue.
Dit kan nie gesien of gehoor word nie, maar dit kan in elke aspek van
’n mens se lewe gevoel word. ’n Onwrikbare, bose vyand wil chaos
veroorsaak in alles wat vir ’n vrou saak maak: haar hart, gedagtes,
huwelik, kinders, verhoudings, drome en toekoms. Maar sy oorlogsplan
behels dat hy haar onverhoeds en ongewapen moet vang.
In die Bybelstudie Die wapenrusting van God, deur New York
Times-topverkoperouteur en motiveringspreker Priscilla Shirer, word
vroue met behulp van Skrifstudie en besprekingsvrae toegerus met die
wapenrusting van God, waarvan gebed die belangrikste is.
Die wapenrusting van God is meer as net ’n Bybelse beskrywing van ’n
gelowige se wapenrusting; dit is ’n 7-week-aksieplan om oorwinning te
behaal in die geestelike stryd.
The Holy Spirit is frequently misunderstood, leaving many clueless
about who He is and how He expresses Himself to us. He is often
portrayed as something “weird”. But the Bible makes it clear that the
Spirit is not something. He is Someone – a Person who has promised to
never leave your side. In The Holy Spirit: An Introduction, John Bevere
invites you into a personal discovery of the Person and work of the
Holy Spirit. This interactive book is a multi-purpose, 3-in-1 guide –
part book, part Bible study and part group study.
Each chapter is divided into five recommended daily readings with
corresponding devotional studies at the end of the chapter. Group
discussion questions for each chapter can be found after the daily
devotions. The Holy Spirit: An Introduction also features an in-depth
question-and-answer session in a bonus chapter, covering some of the
toughest questions about the Holy Spirit.
"I'm really concerned about the state of the world. It feels like things are falling apart."
"I'm worried about my family's future."
"How can I stand firm in my faith in today's culture?"
Our times are turbulent ones, and questions and worries like these can haunt us and keep us awake at night. Yet is it possible that, ultimately, there is actually nothing to fear? Barry C. Black is the spiritual "leader of leaders" for the US Senate--shepherding those on the front lines of the decisions that shape our culture. Now, Chaplain Black shows all of us how to thrive in the midst of today's turbulence and confusion by following eight principles that Jesus gave his disciples prior to sending them into a dangerous world. These teachings are as relevant today as when Jesus first spoke them two thousand years ago.
Containing Scriptural insights and powerful prayers to help you seek God's guidance and blessing, Nothing to Fear will illuminate the way to live boldly, bravely, and faithfully in the face of today's perils.
Have you ever looked back on your life and wondered if there were
situations that God was actively involved with but you didn't even
know it? This book gives principles that will help you recognize
God's presence in your life, guide your relationships, prepare you
for spiritual and emotional success, and motivate you to help
others recognize when God show up. This best-selling author teaches
the life-transforming principles he learned when he encountered God
though an unexpected spiritual experience, providing principles for
learning to receive God's love, face life's trials, cope with
temptation, and face disruptions of every kind.
In his new book, the author likens True Self to a diamond, buried
deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives and
needing to be searched for, uncovered, and separated from all the
debris of ego that surrounds it. In a sense True Self must, like
Jesus, be resurrected, and that process involves not resuscitation
but transformation.
In Silent Compassion, Richard Rohr explores practices for finding
God in the depths of silence and shows us that the divine silence
is more than the absence of noise. Silence has a life of its own,
and in this short but powerful little book we are invited into its
living presence to experience the wholeness of being and peace it
brings. Drawing on centuries-old practices, in Silent Compassion
Richard Rohr explores different aspects of Christian contemplation,
showing how silence can absorb the challenges of life and connect
us with the great chain of being - as well as building unity among
different religions that all use the practices of silence. Packed
full of thought-provoking wisdom, this is a book for anyone seeking
to deepen their relationship with God and looking for spiritual
fulfilment. It is perfect for morning or evening reflection, to
help revitalise and refresh the way you look at prayer. Silent
Compassion will inspire you and show that the peace of
contemplation is not something just for monks, mystics, and those
divorced from the worries of the world, but rather for all people
who can quiet their own mind to listen in the silence.
Elisabeth Elliot plots the treacherous passage through pain, grief,
and loss, a journey most of us will make many times in our life.
Through it all, she says, there is only one reliable path, and if
you walk it, you will see the transformation of all your losses,
heartbreaks, and tragedies into something strong and purposeful. In
this powerful book, Elisabeth Elliot does not hesitate to ask hard
questions, to examine tenderly the hurts we suffer, and to explore
boldly the nature of God whose sovereign care for us is so intimate
and perfect that he confounds our finite understanding. A Path
through Suffering is a book for anyone searching for faith,
comfort, and assurance. Includes a new foreword by Joni Eareckson
Tada.
