Hoe en wat ons dink, het ’n geweldige invloed op ons verstandelike, emosionele en selfs fisieke welsyn. Om die waarheid te sê, ons denke kan ons beperk tot dit wat ons glo ons kan doen, of dit kan ons dinge laat ervaar waarvan ons nooit kon droom nie. Wanneer ons ’n denkwyse kies wat ons vermoëns verruim, sal ons groter intellektuele satisfaksie, emosionele beheer en fisieke gesondheid ervaar. Die vraag is net: Hoe?

Why are so many 20- and 30-something Christians disappearing from the church?They are told how much the church wants young people, yet there is growing suspicion among young believers about who is in and who is out of the scope of Christian orthodoxy. Through this suspicion, a rift between the generations has emerged. In the face of frustration, of being cut out because they don't seem to fit, young believers often take their gifts and leave the church.This book helps those who feel displaced by this generational collision to find a sense of place and welcome with a church that is still becoming all that God wants it to be. If you are a young person who wonders if there is a place in the church for someone like you, or if you want to know if your own church can be the kind of body in which young people are welcome, A Seat at the Table will give you a new personal and kingdom perspective. Embrace the challenge to re-imagine your relationship with the church in light of this generational collision, not seeing it as an unredeemable rift, but as an opportunity to give and receive hospitality.

Here she shares some of these amazing, inspiring stories. More than that, she shows how readers can genuinely, fully experience God in their everyday lives--whether in Africa or at home, wherever they are. She helps them understand what he looks like, what it means to hear his voice, what it's like to see a vision, and how to recognize the holy in the ordinary. With these practical keys, believers will be able to open the floodgates of life changing, supernatural encounters with God.

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.
