?Que pasaria si tu dolor y tus luchas no fueran castigos que debes soportar, sino oportunidades para mostrar la gloria de Dios? Inspirado en la historia del hombre ciego en Juan 9, el exitoso autor y pastor Samuel Rodriguez nos muestra que a veces Jesus hace que tu situacion sea primero un lio y de ese lio surge un milagro. Con inspiracion biblica, descubrimientos cientificos e historias reales, el pastor Sam traza una hoja de ruta practica y llena de esperanza para cualquier persona que tenga la audacia de reemplazar el miedo por la fe, lavar el barro del pasado y caminar a traves de su desorden hacia el milagro de Dios.

Scholars and laymen alike have long projected their fantasies onto the great expanse of the global North, whether it be as a frozen no-man's-land, an icy realm of marauding Vikings or an unspoiled cradle of prehistoric human life. Bernd Brunner reconstructs the encounters of adventurers, colonists and indigenous communities that led to the creation of a northern "cabinet of wonders" and imbued Scandinavia, Iceland and the Arctic with a perennial mystique. Like the mythological sagas that inspired everyone from Wagner to Tolkien, Extreme North explores both the dramatic vistas of the Scandinavian fjords and the murky depths of a Western psyche obsessed with Nordic whiteness. In concise but thoroughly researched chapters, Brunner highlights the cultural and political fictions at play from the first "discoveries" of northern landscapes and stories, to the eugenicist elevation of the "Nordic" phenotype (which in turn influenced America's limits on immigration), to the idealisation of Scandinavian social democracy as a post-racial utopia. Brunner traces how crackpot Nazi philosophies that tied the "Aryan race" to the upper latitudes have influenced modern pseudoscientific fantasies of racial and cultural superiority the world over. The North, Brunner argues, was as much invented as discovered. Full of glittering details embedded in vivid storytelling, Extreme North is a fascinating romp through both actual encounters and popular imaginings, and a disturbing reminder of the power of fantasy to shape the world we live in.

Bob Ross-whose happy paintings, memorable hairstyle, and quirky catchphrases make us grin from ear to ear-is still as popular as ever, maintaining a core base of fans through a show that has never gone off the air since 1983 and that's embraced by a generation of gamers and millennials, with tributes appearing everywhere from Twitch to Netflix, Buzzfeed, and YouTube.

This substantial, reliable introduction examines the character and purpose of Luke and Acts and provides a thorough yet economical treatment of Luke's social, historical, and literary context. Karl Allen Kuhn presents Luke's narrative as a "kingdom story" that both announces the arrival of God's reign in Jesus and describes the ministry of the early church, revealing the character of the kingdom as dramatically at odds with the kingdom of Rome. Kuhn explores the background, literary features, plotting, and themes of Luke and Acts but also offers significant, fresh insights into the persuasive force of Luke's impressively crafted and rhetorically charged narrative.
