In this four-session video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold
separately), bestselling author and pastor Andy Stanley takes a
closer look at one of the unique things Christians believe: God
became one of us. Why in the world would God do that? Why would God
leave the comfort and recognition of heaven to live on this ball of
dirt in a time before morphine and indoor plumbing when the best of
conditions barely paralleled the worst of modern-day conditions?
Why?We think we know why He died. But what compelled him to live as
one of us? Sessions include: To Communicate and Demonstrate Like
Son, Like Father Classless Putting Religion in Its Place As the

SPANISH EDITION: The soul is NOT 'a theological and abstract
subject.' The soul is the coolest, eeriest, most mysterious,
evocative, crucial, sacred, eternal, life-directing, fragile,
indestructible, controversial, expensive dimension of your
existence. Jesus said it's worth more than the world.You'd be an
idiot not to prize it above all else.Shouldn't you get pretty clear
on exactly what it is?Shouldn't you know what it runs on?Wouldn't
it be worth knowing how to care for it? Two things are for sure.
One is: you have a soul. The other is: if you don't look after this
one you won't be issued a replacement. Bestselling author John
Ortberg writes another classic that will help readers discover
their soul and take their relationship with God to the next level.
Tricky Questions about God is a response to many requests made by
Catholic teachers, catechists, and parents for help in answering
the tricky and often highly intelligent questions that children and
young people ask about their faith. The book begins with four
foundational chapters: "Can theology be made simple?," "Why is the
Bible important?," "Is faith reasonable?," and "Can expressions of
faith change?" It then explores a series of questions like "Who
made God?," "If God is almighty, why is there so much suffering?,"
and "Does God have a plan for me?". Each chapter draws on engaging
stories and examples to illustrate points, as well as summarizing
relevant elements of Scripture, Church teaching, and contemporary
philosophy and science. While primarily designed as a resource for
teachers, the work could also be helpful in RCIA programs, faith
formation programs for adults, and identity development programs
for lay leaders in Catholic ministries.
Traveling pilgrims sang these psalms both on the way to the great festivals of the Jews and as key elements of the worship at those festivals.
Students will interact with Beth Moore and the Scriptures in new ways. They will gain a new appreciation for the life of faith as a journey to greater fellowship with and worship of God.
Contains homework for six sessions.
