In a world where boundaries and guardrails are encouraged, our focus
can become
narrow and near-sighted. The Christian faith is replete with
self-control and guided
resistance of all the matters of life that can trip us up. But are
boundaries and
guardrails, self-control and resistance meant for the spirit chasing
after the heart of
God?
Bible teacher and author, Kat Armstrong dares to ask and explore what
faith and life
in general would look like if we broke through all the barriers holding
us back and we
actually practiced loving the Lord our God with all our heart, all our
soul, all our mind,
and all our strength. What if we lived giving Jesus our ALL?
Born out of a real-life confrontation with a fellow student at seminary
who challenged
Kat's reasoning, purpose, and goal for pursing a deeper knowledge of
God's Word,
this study delves into the deep of our person and dares us to answer,
What Am I
Even Here For? Who am I to chase after God? How do I actually follow
Jesus'
command?
Through engaging and heartfelt Biblical teaching, Kat guides us on a
journey down
the narrow path, the one less traveled, because it is hard and it is
difficult-but it is
worth every step. Following after Jesus takes effort, perseverance,
trust, focus, and
energy. It takes our ALL. In a world that emphasized qualifications,
Kat offers a fresh
perspective of encouragement that aligns with Scripture from beginning
to end:
"Don't be afraid. Give me your everything."
If you have ever felt challenged or insecure in your personal pursuit
of God, this is
your study.
Designed for use with the No More Holding Back Video Study (sold
separately).
The dramatic, real-life stories in this book will inspire you, and
Benny Hinn's Bible-based teaching on the key to your miracle will
give you a greater understanding of how Jesus heals today.

Commissioned in 1975 by Thomas Nelson, 130 international and
multi-denominational Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay
Christians worked for seven years to create a completely new,
modern translation of Scripture that retained the purity and
stylistic beauty of the King James Version. The New King James
Version is faithful to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic
text, and provides transparency to the recent research in
archaeology, linguistics, and textual studies in the footnotes. The
result is a Bible translation that is both beautiful and
uncompromising-perfect for serious study, devotional use, and
reading aloud.
Discover the Good Life as you learn from the wise voices of the
past. We've lost ourselves. Disconnected from the past and
uncertain about the future, we are anxious about what our lives
will be and troubled by a nagging sense of meaninglessness. Adrift
in the world, many Christians have their identity completely
wrapped up in work, and their definition of the "good life" is
financial success. Fewer of are staying committed to the Christian
faith, finding it difficult to reconcile their experience with
their longings and desires. With so much uncertainty, where can we
find a true vision of "the Good Life"? Learning the Good Life
speaks to this malaise with a curated collection of voices from the
past, inviting Christians into an ages-old dialogue with some of
history's wisest and most reflective minds. Featuring
thought-provoking writings from a diverse lineup of over 35 writers
and thinkers: From the classic-including Confucius, Augustine, Sor
Juana Ines de la Cruz, Henry David Thoreau, and Frederick Douglass;
To the modern-including W.E.B. DuBois, Flannery O'Connor, T.S.
Eliot, and Simone Weil; To the contemporary-including Wendell
Berry, David Foster Wallace, and Marilynne Robinson. Together these
sages, writers, philosophers, and poets address important issues
such as virtue, beauty, community, wonder, suffering, and meaning.
Each of these texts are introduced by experts from a variety of
Christian colleges and universities to help provide a richer
narrative in which Christians can participate. Each text is also
accompanied by discussion questions to provoke further thought and
contemplation and to facilitate discussion when used in groups.
Learning the Good Life is ideal for any Christian seeking a deeper
connection to the wisdom of the past and wanting a more cohesive
vision of the good life. Though not all these writers were
themselves Christians, they all have a message for you. All of them
are calling you to die to yourself, to your habits of indulgence,
to your pride and ambition-and to dedicate your time to learning,
thinking, and loving.
Die Untersuchung beschaftigt sich mit den Schulfahrten an den
Katholischen Gymnasien im Bistum Osnabruck und stellt die Frage, ob
diese damit ihrem schulischen Auftrag nachkommen. Dabei tragt der
Autor zunachst zur Weiterentwicklung der Pilger- und
Wallfahrtstheologie bei, indem er die Ursprunge des Pilgerns und
des Wallfahrens herleitet, in den Kontext der Kirchengeschichte
stellt und sie an den Erfahrungen der untersuchten Schulfahrten
reflektiert. Er pladiert hier fur eine Differenzierung zwischen
Pilgern und Wallfahren, die sich in unterschiedlichen Konzepten der
Durchfuhrung niederschlagt. Um die Frage nach der Relevanz fur eine
Pilger- oder Wallfahrt an einer Schule zu beantworten, zeigt
Andreas Gautier zunachst die Motivation von Schulgrundungen auf.
Hier werden Unterschiede zwischen Katholischer Kirche und Staat als
Trager deutlich. Diese umfassen das Bildungs- und
Erziehungsverstandnis, was wiederum unterschiedliche Antworten auf
die Frage liefert, ob Pilgern oder Wallfahren dem schulischen
Auftrag gerecht wird. Der empirische Teil, dem eine quantitative
Erhebung zugrunde liegt, untermauert diese Herleitung und zeigt
weitergehende Implikationen fur eine Umsetzung auf.
