Reis saam na eerste-eeuse Rome en ontdek hoekom hierdie klassieke reeks
miljoene lesers oor die węreld heen geďnspireer het. Die drie boeke in
die Merk van die Leeu-reeks word as ’n spesiale geskenkstel aangebied.
’n Stem in die wind is die eerste boek in die reeks. Dit vertel die
verhaal van Hadassa, ’n jong Joodse meisie wat as slaaf weggevoer is,
maar steeds vashou aan haar geloof in God. Al voel sy verskeur deur
haar liefde vir ’n aantreklike jong edelman, word Hadassa ’n baken van
hoop en lig te midde van die duisternis en verval rondom haar.
’n Eggo in die duisternis vertel die verhaal van Markus, ’n welgestelde
Romeinse edelman. Diep geraak deur Hadassa se opregte geloof, begin hy
wonder of daar nie méér in die lewe is nie. In sy soeke na betekenis en
geloof, word hy gelei deur ’n sagte fluistering uit die verlede wat hom
kan bevry van die duisternis in sy siel.
Die trilogie sluit af met So seker as wat die dag breek. Dit vertel die
verhaal van Atretes, ’n Germaanse stamleier wat sy vryheid as gladiator
verdien het. Atretes wil saam met sy babaseun teruggaan na Germanië,
maar wat van Rispa, die gelowige weduwee wat sedert sy geboorte vir die
seun gesorg het?

With warmth and encouragement Pastor John Mark Comer, author of
ECPA Bestseller The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, offers guidance
and advice to help you recognise the lies and resist the forces
that seek to steal your happiness, wholeness and holiness. As
Christians, we're all at war with three fierce adversaries of the
soul that feed us deceptive ideas to harm our spiritual well-being:
the world, the flesh and the devil. Live No Lies parses out the
tactics, strengths and weaknesses of these enemies, giving you a
clear battle plan and spiritual practices to outwit and overcome
these evils. Skilfully weaving together uplifting wisdom and
reassuring, practical guidance, this is a book for anyone looking
for everyday disciplines to help them care for their soul. Live No
Lies will equip you with all you need to make practices for
resisting evil an active part of your spiritual formation, and
leave you motivated to find happiness and peace in Jesus. That
tug-of-war in your chest for wholeness? Those lies that sabotage
your peace? It's time to identify them, and defeat them.
The decisive moments in life are those pivot points when we're
called on to push past our fears and act with strength. With How We
Learn to Be Brave, Bishop Mariann Budde teaches us to respond with
clarity and grace even in the toughest times. Being brave is not a
singular occurrence; it's a journey that we can choose to undertake
every day. Bishop Budde explores the full range of decisive
moments, from the most visible and dramatic (the decision to go),
to the internal and personal (the decision to stay), to brave
choices made with an eye toward the future (the decision to start),
those born of suffering (the decision to accept that which we did
not choose), and those that come unexpectedly (the decision to step
up to the plate). Drawing on examples ranging from Harry Potter to
the Gospel According to Luke, she seamlessly weaves together
personal experiences with stories from Scripture, history, and pop
culture to underscore both the universality of these moments and
the particular call each one of us must heed when they arrive. How
We Learn to Be Brave will provide much-needed fortitude and insight
to anyone searching for answers in uncertain times.
It's no coincidence that one of the most asked questions on any search
engine is: "Is God real?"
When life feels overwhelming, we want to know if there really is a
deity who loves us, knows us, and cares about what happens to us. Join
investigative journalist and former atheist Lee Strobel on a quest to
determine whether we can know with confidence that God is real.
In Is God Real: Exploring The Ultimate Question Of Life, this rational
exploration of the proof of God's existence, Lee investigates:
• If God is real, why is there so much suffering?
• How do we know which God is real?
• If God is real, why does he seem so hidden?
• How do recent scientific findings support the claim that God is real?
• If God is real, what difference does it make?
With 16.3 million members and 44,000 churches, the Southern Baptist
Convention is the largest Baptist group in the world, and the
largest Protestant denomination in the United States. Unlike the
so-called mainstream Protestant denominations, Southern Baptists
have remained stubbornly conservative, refusing to adapt their
beliefs and practices to modernity's individualist and populist
values. Instead, they have held fast to traditional orthodoxy in
such fundamental areas as biblical inspiration, creation,
conversion, and miracles. Gregory Wills argues that Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary has played a fundamental role in the
persistence of conservatism, not entirely intentionally. Tracing
the history of the seminary from the beginning to the present,
Wills shows how its foundational commitment to preserving orthodoxy
was implanted in denominational memory in ways that strengthened
the denomination's conservatism and limited the seminary's ability
to stray from it. In a set of circumstances in which the seminary
played a central part, Southern Baptists' populist values bolstered
traditional orthodoxy rather than diminishing it. In the end, says
Wills, their populism privileged orthodoxy over individualism. The
story of Southern Seminary is fundamental to understanding Southern
Baptist controversy and identity. Wills's study sheds important new
light on the denomination that has played - and continues to play -
such a central role in our national history.
Amid Passing Things is a collection of meditations on all the ways
God enters our lives, even when we're unaware. Based on his own
life experiences, Franciscan friar Jeremiah Shryock offers both
struggles and joys that come in a life that's consciously
encountering God-the Holy One all around us-not in some far-off
place, but right here and now in this life, amid passing things.
This is an introduction to African Christian ethics for Christian
colleges and Bible schools. The book is divided into two parts. The
first part deals with the theory of ethics, while the second
discusses practical issues. The issues are grouped into the
following six sections: Socio-Political Issues, Financial Issues,
Marriage Issues, Sexual Issues, Medical Issues, and Religious
Issues. Each section begins with a brief general introduction,
followed by the chapters dealing with specific issues in that area.
Each chapter begins with an introduction, discusses traditional
African thinking on the issue, presents an analysis of relevant
biblical material, and concludes with some recommendations. There
are questions at the end of each chapter for discussion or personal
reflection, often asking students to reflect on how the discussion
in the chapter applies to their ministry situation.
