Rene Girard holds up the gospels as mirrors that reveal our broken
humanity, and shows that they also reflect a new reality that can
make us whole. Like Simone Weil, Girard looks at the Bible as a map
of human behavior, and sees Jesus Christ as the turning point
leading to new life.
The title echoes Jesus' words: "I saw Satan falling like
lightning from heaven". Girard persuades us that even as our world
grows increasingly violent the power of the Christ-event is so
great that the evils of scapegoating and sacrifice are being
defeated even now. A new community, God's nonviolent kingdom, is
being realized -- even now.
The whole of Scripture, Old Testament and New, is being published
in a single volume, featuring the beautiful Revised Standard Version
Second Catholic Edition (RSV2CE) translation along with introductions,
outlines, and explanatory notes for each biblical book, extensive cross
references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and an array of
visual and educational aids to bring the message of Scripture into
clear focus for Catholic readers.
More than any other study edition of the Bible on the market, the
Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is "like a householder who brings out of
his treasure what is new and what is old" (Mt 13:52). It draws insights
from the best of modern scholarship as well as the best of the Catholic
tradition of interpretation through the ages.
It explains the historical, cultural, literary, and archaeological
background of Scripture, while at the same time looking to the Fathers,
Doctors, and Councils of the Church for insight into its theological
and spiritual teachings. The result is a veritable library of Bible
study resources, all under one cover, designed to help readers
understand the written Word of God and apply its lessons to their lives
today. It is simply the most ambitious undertaking of its kind in our
generation.
The New International Version is the world’s bestselling modern-English
Bible translation—accurate, readable, and clear, yet rich with the
detail found in the original languages. The NIV is the result of over
50 years of work by the Committee on Bible Translation, who oversee the
efforts of many contributing scholars. Representing the spectrum of
evangelicalism, the translators come from a wide range of denominations
and various countries and continually review new research to ensure the
NIV remains at the forefront of accessibility, relevance, and
authority. Every NIV Bible that is purchased helps Biblica translate
and give Bibles to people in need around the world.

crucial if we are to be changed from the inside out. Immensely
profound but also practical and encouraging, Dallas Willard's

practical approach to spiritual growth is just as needed today as
it was 20 years ago. It will both challenge and inspire you on the
path of becoming more like Jesus and equip you to engage actively
and intentionally in your spiritual formation. Renovation of the
Heart has helped countless Christians begin the process of
spiritual transformation. It is ideal both for anyone new to the
Christian faith looking for guidance in discipleship, and those who
are already Christians and want a new approach to help their
spiritual growth and reaffirm their faith. Don't settle for
complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers
and discover what Dallas Willard describes as a divine process that

“Moet ek eers wag tot ek dood is voordat ek God se wil verstaan?” So
begin Stephan Joubert sy boek God se wil vir jou lewe.
Op sy unieke manier doen Stephan Joubert ’n diepgaande ondersoek na
hierdie vraag om vas te stel hoe ons nou al God se wil kan ken. Die
boek is verdeel in twee dele:
• Deel 1 is 9 hoofstukke waarin Stephan onder andere kyk na die
misterie van God se wil, Jesus as die gesig van God se wil, reëls oor
God se wil en vensters op God se wil.
• Deel 2 is 31 Bybelstudies, vir individue of groepe, wat die
verskillende fasette van God se wil bekyk, waaronder: Verander God se
wil my in ’n robot?, Mag ek vrae vra oor God se wil? en vele meer.
God se wil vir jou lewe wys dat God se wil vir ons duidelik in die
Bybel gegee word en dat ons dus nie tot ons dood hoef te wag om dit te
verstaan nie. Dit is moontlik om elke dag in blydskap en volkome binne
God se wil te leef.

"Tara-Leigh gets me excited to read the Bible. Period. I have found
a trusted guide to walk me into deeper understanding of the
Scriptures."--Michael Dean McDonald, The Bible Project
This work presents a sustained reflection on the New Testament
vision of God's revelation of his glory in Christ. This divine
"appearing" is grounded in the self-emptying of the eternal Logos
in the incarnation, cross and descent into hell, yet this is the
means whereby his glory is manifested and enriches all who are
seized by its beauty.
