God has given you gifts so you can fulfill His purpose for your life,
but if you're like a lot of people, you may not have recognized your
talents yet. Start asking God to show you something special about the
way He's made you.
To some people, He's given a very tender, compassionate heart, and some
He has wired to lead others effectively. Others, He has given a gift of
being able to communicate clearly, to teach, to make scientific
discoveries, or to write beautiful music. Only you can discover all the
dynamic gifts He's placed in you.
Become Authentically, Uniquely You because God is never going to help
you be anyone but yourself. He loves you just as you are. Let God use
you, with all your strengths and weaknesses, and transform you from the
inside out to do something powerful beyond your wildest dreams.
Meister Eckhart, the fourteenth-century German mystic and
theologian, is one of the most enigmatic and controversial figures
in the history of the Church, and few have played so diverse and
fertile a role in the cultural imagination. He has been seen as
both heretic and 'the man from whom God nothing hid'; Christian
mystic and Buddhist sage; Catholic and Protestant; feminist and
ecologist; he is both medieval schoolman and inspirer of
contemporary philosophers such as Heidegger, Bloch and Derrida.
Oliver Davies's masterly evaluation of Eckhart is based on an
unrivalled knowledge of the original texts, their historical and
theological context, and their place in the Christian mystical
tradition. The portrait of St Dominic on the cover (of the book)
illustrates one of Davies's main themes: Eckhart's position in the
mainstream Dominican tradition of grounding theology in spiritual
experience. Both a stimulating scholarly study and an ideal
introduction for the non-specialist, Meister Eckhart: Mystical
Theologian explores the enduring fascination of Meister Eckhart, 'a
mystic for our age'.
Have you ever felt far away from God? Though many Christians are
convinced they can't admit that, if you're feeling distant from
God, you're not alone. In fact, honesty about divine distance is an
important first step back to the presence of God. The truth is, we
all go through seasons when prayers seem futile, worship feels
empty, or we feel lonely, wondering if God cares or even knows what
we're facing. When those seasons come and our familiar spiritual
routines are no longer working, how can we recover the closeness
with God that we crave? With transparency and a pastoral heart,
Jamie Rasmussen reveals eight ways to navigate divine distance and
experience the nearness of God again. After unpacking why God
sometimes feels so far away, he mines the riches of the book of
Esther for principles that are available to us today. The result is
an intimate and practical guide to navigating seasons of divine
distance so we can once again feel closer to God.

In this small but masterly-crafted book, Richard Rohr addresses
what Christianity views as the three traditional sources of evil -
the world, the flesh and the devil - to encourage us to look beyond
our personal moral failings and give us principles for resisting
evil on a wider scale. Exploring how Christianity has focused
almost exclusively on individual evil, or the sins of the flesh, he
offers a gripping interpretation of Jesus' teachings and the
writings of Paul the Apostle to show how vital it is that we also
understand the often subtle and well-disguised evil of the world
and the devil. This book offers no easy solutions. Yet, skilfully
distilling half a century of teaching and preaching, The World, the
Flesh and the Devil will leave you with a greater understanding of
evil and its role in the social issues of our time, and better
equipped to recognise and fight it. With his characteristic wisdom
and compassion, Rohr offers us principles for resisting the social
evils pervading our lives, in which we are all complicit, through
Christian contemplation and by reaching out to one another in love.
With his usual consummate clarity of thought and style, Michael
Ramsey sets out to establish what the Spirit meant in the
experience and the language of the early Christians. 'There are
none from whom we can learn more about a theme so intimately linked
with the coming of Jesus Christ.'
Connects true-to-life experiences of grief and loss with central
themes in the 23rd Psalm--highlighting each inspirational message
with an appropriate prayer, affirmation, and reflection.

What makes life meaningful? More to the point, what makes our life
meaningful? Without a good answer to that question, we can expend
much energy and experience much anxiety as we attempt to live lives
of significance, only to find that in the end we missed the point
entirely and along the way were deeply dissatisfied. But there is
hope. In Why You Matter, Michael Sherrard shows that life is only
meaningful if God exists. He then shows how that fundamental fact
provides clarity for some of the most important questions of our
lives, including - Who am I? - How should I treat others? - What
should I do with my life? - How do I make sense of suffering? If
you have struggled with a sense of self-worth and direction in your
life, or if you have a friend, colleague, or family member who is
searching for meaning in a world of suffering, chaos, and
uncertainty, Why You Matter will give you confidence that your life
matters--but maybe not for the reasons you think.
Are you in a season of life where every search for direction,
encouragement, or fulfillment seems to come up empty? You thought
God had you in a place to thrive and grow, but you are ready to
call it quits. There has to be something better. You don't need a
new garden; you just need to learn how to dig! In Acres of
Diamonds, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Jentezen
Franklin helps you discover the unfathomable riches Jesus Christ
has for you. Rather than chase after a better life, you can
celebrate the untold spiritual provision to be found even in the
midst of spiritual deprivation. Readers will learn to cherish where
God has placed them as they uncover the hidden potential within
their families, jobs, ministries, and communities . . . right where
they are.
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.
