Christianity Today Book of the Year In the overlooked moments and routines of our day, we can become aware of God's presence in surprising ways. How do we embrace the sacred in the ordinary and the ordinary in the sacred? Framed around one typical day, this book explores life through the lens of liturgy-small practices and habits that form us. In each chapter, Tish Harrison Warren considers a common daily experience-making the bed, brushing her teeth, losing her keys. Drawing from the diversity of her life as a campus minister, Anglican priest, friend, wife, and mother, Warren opens up a practical theology of the everyday. Each activity is related to a spiritual practice as well as an aspect of our Sunday worship. Liturgy of the Ordinary is now part of the IVP Signature Collection, which features special editions of iconic books in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of InterVarsity Press.
We grow more spiritually by doing it wrong than by doing it right In Falling Upward, Fr Richard Rohr offers a new understanding of one of life's most profound mysteries: how our failing can be the foundation for our ongoing spiritual growth. Drawing on the wisdom from time-honoured myths, heroic poems, great thinkers and sacred religious texts, the author explores the two halves of life to show that those who have fallen, failed, or 'gone down' are the only ones who understand 'up'. The heartbreaks, disappointments and loves of the first half of life are actually stepping stones to the spiritual joys that the second half has in store for us. 'I thank God for Richard Rohr's sage-like presence in our culture: I honestly don't know where I'd be without it.' Brian Draper 'Richard Rohr at his vintage best: prophetic, pastoral, practical.' Cynthia Bourgeault 'A voyage into the mystery and beauty of healthy spiritual maturity.' Mehmet Oz, MD, host of the Dr Oz Show
Die dood van ’n geliefde bring intense hartseer mee. Dr. Henk Gous deel
in Wanneer ’n geliefde sterf uit sy jare lange ervaring as berader
asook sy persoonlike ervaring met die verlies van sy dogter. Hy is
daarom ideaal toegerus om jou met wysheid en empatie op hierdie
moeilike pad van rousmart te begelei. Elkeen van die 40 dagstukkies het
plek om jou eie emosies, vrae aan God, ondraaglike pyn, selfs woede, en
enige ander gedagtes neer te skryf. So sal hierdie boekie ’n joernaal
wees van jou uniek persoonlike reis na aanvaarding, vertroosting, vrede
en vreugde.
Angs neem baie vorme aan, dis dalk die vrees wat oor jou skouer loer, die paniek wat alewig aan jou sy blyk te wees of die wolk van bekommernis wat oor jou lewe hang. Vir baie mense is dit ’n reus wat hulle wysmaak dat hulle nooit, ooit weer ’n normale lewe gaan kan lei nie; ’n reus wat jou vasvang in ’n greep van duisternis en wanhoop. Jy kán egter losbreek en sonder angs lewe. Uit sy eerstehandse ervaring van die stryd teen angs, deel Pastoor Louie Giglio beide praktiese en geestelike wenke om vry te kom. Aan die hand van ’n boodskap van bemoediging en hoop verduidelik hy die paradoks dat angs dalk dood is, maar steeds dodelik is – met ander woorde, angs is steeds oorweldigend, maar daar is egter Iemand wat reeds die oorhand oor angs gekry het. Hierdie nuttige hulpbron wys jou hoe om ‘n kruisie te trek deur jou angs met die sterkste wapen tot ons beskikking: Jesus se kruis. Elke dag se oordenking sal jou help om een voet voor die ander te sit en grond te wen in die stryd sowel as om bose vestings af te breek omdat Jesus reeds namens jou die oorwinning behaal het.

We think our biggest spiritual enemy is Satan, but it’s really our flesh. This book will help you to see Christ as the one who is able to take on all spiritual battles so that you know you are not alone in this journey of life. In her first two books, The Heavens Opened and The Priestly Bride, Anna Rountree chronicled her remarkable visions of heaven, giving readers a glimpse of what heaven is like and how events happening in the earth today correspond with activities in the spirit realm. In this third book in her trilogy, Rountree offers a revelation of mankind's chief enemy, the flesh, and how our heavenly Father trains us to be warriors for the fierce battles to come. Caught up once again in a vision of heaven, Rountree sees the redeemed and the heavenly hosts armed for war. She is told that all God’s children are issued armor but not everyone heeds the command to put on the full armor of God. As with all equipment, this armor must be tested before being worn into conflict. Thus begins the tests to fit Rountree for battle. These tests take place underground in the root system of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is the flesh. The seriousness of the tests—tests all Christians must take—are both shocking and revelatory. This book takes readers on a journey through the dark bowels of the flesh and reveals how they can come out armed as overcomers who serves the Warrior King.
Are you confused and scared by what’s happening in the world today? Do
you know that Jesus could return at any time now? Are you ready if He
returns today?
Same-day delivery works for packages, not for people. Defeat the lure of immediate gratification, avoid frustration, and embrace uninterrupted peace. In one way or another we are all waiting. Even those who seem to have it all are still waiting on something. There may be a young athlete who’s waiting for his wildest dreams to come true. There may be a young lady waiting on an acceptance letter to a university. A married couple may be waiting to find out if they’re giving birth to a boy or a girl. There may be an individual waiting for lab results from his most recent doctor’s visit. We are all in the same boat. Waiting. Waiting for change. Waiting for answers. Waiting for healing. Waiting for things to get better. No matter how good life gets, every living human being will always be in need of something.

Why does the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ have such power? Why Christ Died dives in and seeks to answer that question. Delving deep into Scripture, Tamryn Klintworth declares and explores the truths that supports the blood, sacrifice, suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and what this truly means to humankind. We do not like speaking about sin. It makes us uncomfortable. It raises guilty memories and past regrets. Nonetheless, we cannot avoid discussing it if we truly want to understand what Jesus achieved for us. You can be assured that the love God has for you is indescribable. His devotion to you is unwavering and radical. He forged a way for you to be with Him forever through the blood that was shed by His Son. He wants you desperately. He yearns for you relentlessly. But will you accept His love for you? This decision is yours and yours alone. |
