This dictionary attempts to give direct access to the development of Christian Spirituality. It is a series of pieces written by experts to provide instant, accurate and thought-provoking information of high scholarship.

God has given you gifts so you can fulfill His purpose for your life, but if you're like a lot of people, you may not have recognized your talents yet. Start asking God to show you something special about the way He's made you.

To some people, He's given a very tender, compassionate heart, and some He has wired to lead others effectively. Others, He has given a gift of being able to communicate clearly, to teach, to make scientific discoveries, or to write beautiful music. Only you can discover all the dynamic gifts He's placed in you.

Become Authentically, Uniquely You because God is never going to help you be anyone but yourself. He loves you just as you are. Let God use you, with all your strengths and weaknesses, and transform you from the inside out to do something powerful beyond your wildest dreams.

Daar woed elke dag, die hele dag lank, ’n onsigbare oorlog om vroue. Dit kan nie gesien of gehoor word nie, maar dit kan in elke aspek van ’n mens se lewe gevoel word. ’n Onwrikbare, bose vyand wil chaos veroorsaak in alles wat vir ’n vrou saak maak: haar hart, gedagtes, huwelik, kinders, verhoudings, drome en toekoms. Maar sy oorlogsplan behels dat hy haar onverhoeds en ongewapen moet vang.

In die Bybelstudie Die wapenrusting van God, deur New York Times-topverkoperouteur en motiveringspreker Priscilla Shirer, word vroue met behulp van Skrifstudie en besprekingsvrae toegerus met die wapenrusting van God, waarvan gebed die belangrikste is.

Die wapenrusting van God is meer as net ’n Bybelse beskrywing van ’n gelowige se wapenrusting; dit is ’n 7-week-aksieplan om oorwinning te behaal in die geestelike stryd.

""'Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my """house. Test me in this, ' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not"" """throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that""" """"you will not have room enough for it.'""""" -- Malachi 3:1 0
In these uncertain economic times, does it really make sense to tithe?
Douglas LeBlanc thinks the answer is clear enough in Malachi 3:10, where God goes so far as to tell us, "Test me in this." The people profiled in this book have done exactly that--and the effect on their lives has been dramatic.
In these intimate journalistic portraits, LeBlanc shows us true tithing in action. From members of the clergy, to best-selling authors, to social activists both conservative and liberal, these are the lives of real people who tithe in joy and plenty, in the face of poverty and natural disaster, in community and missionally, and as a spiritual practice commanded by God. They come from different backgrounds and live in varying degrees of financial comfort; but they all tithe--and wouldn't have it any other way. Through their eyes, we come to understand this ancient practice as God's call to a life of generosity, compassion, and joy.
"""""THE ANCIENT PRACTICES"""""
There is a hunger in every human heart for connection, primitive and raw, to God. To satisfy it, many are beginning to explore traditional spiritual disciplines used for centuries. . .everything from fixed-hour prayer to fasting to sincere observance of the Sabbath. Compelling and readable, the """"""Ancient Practices"""""" series is for every spiritual sojourner, for every Christian seeker who wants more.
