Joan Chittister's powerful spiritual guide builds on the ancient Rule of Benedict to show us how to live this life, our daily life, well. 'The monastic archetype is embedded in every soul - because in our true centre we are all "truly seeking God" Joan Chittister understands and communicates this to her contemporaries with rare insight and power' Laurence Freeman, author of The Selfless Self ' . . . the allure of this book is its promise that "the monastery of the heart" is where we learn to live our lives "from the inside out" in a contemporary world that is spiritually bereft and bewildering' Ephrem Hollermann, author of The Reshaping of a Tradition 'This marvel of a book sings in the heart and makes the mind quiet with reverence, even as it instructs both of them with a holy gladness' Phyllis Tickle, compiler of The Divine Hours.

"John and Stasi nailed it. This book opens to an untouched snapshot of a real, live, redeemed marriage and closes with hope and hunger for our own..." - Beth Moore, bestselling author of "Get Out of That Pit"
With astonishing vulnerability that engages readers from the first page, John and Stasi Eldredge openly discuss their own marriage and the breakthroughs they have won from the challenges they've faced. Each talks to the reader about what he and she have learned, providing a balance between male and female perspectives that has been absent from previous books on this topic.
John and Stasi begin "Love & War" with an obvious confession: "Marriage is fabulously hard." But beneath and behind the inevitable tensions a man and woman "locked in the same submarine" are going to have, the real battle is against the work of the Enemy, who plots and schemes to tear love apart. The Eldredges show how couples can win "by fighting "for" each other, instead of "against" each other." As they say, "We live in a great love story, set in the midst of war."
"This is a book of wisdom and hope...a beautiful labor that will move your marriage to far deeper joy." Dan. B. Allender, author of" The Wounded Heart"

What if you could find a way to share your faith in Jesus that feels natural, fits your personality, and ignites a fire in others? In this video-based evangelism training course (video streaming code included), author of Becoming a Contagious Christian Mark Mittelberg introduces five approaches to evangelism to help you determine which of them fit best with your unique gifts and personality: Friendship-Building Selfless-Serving Story-Sharing Reason-Giving Truth-Telling As disciples of Christ, we are called to share the gospel, but few of us are naturally comfortable with evangelism. We wrestle with a sense of insecurity, a lack of preparation, and the sense that reaching out to others might force us to act like someone we're not. And many of us feel guilty when we fail to use an opportunity to talk about our faith, lowering our confidence even further. Building upon popular personality-type methods, the Contagious Faith assessment will help you identify your primary style, along with any secondary styles you discover. You'll learn next steps for developing and deploying your natural approach to evangelism and work through interactive prompts to practice the methods Mark unpacks in the videos. The Contagious Faith Study Guide can be used in small groups, classes, student ministries, and church-wide campaigns and has everything you need to participate, including: The guide itself-with discussion and personal reflection questions, prompts, video notes, and a leader's guide. An individual access code to stream all six video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!). An assessment quiz to help you determine your Contagious Faith style.

The author of the critically-acclaimed Binding the Strong Man exposes the social and spiritual "stones" that impede us in our development and growth as Christians. "In every age", writes Myers, "disciples despair that the story has ended, only to discover that the stone 'has been rolled away, ' reopening the possibility - and imperative - of following the Way of Jesus". As a sequel to Binding the Strong Man, Who Will Roll Away the Stone? brings Myers' study of the gospel of Mark full circle. The first book provided a compelling reading of Mark's gospel as a manual of radical discipleship in the ancient Roman empire. Who Will Roll Away the Stone? picks up and extends the gospel's challenge specifically to those living in the contemporary imperial context. Each chapter opens with classic questions from within the gospel itself. Beginning with Peter's denial of Jesus, Who Will Roll Away the Stone? shows how and why first-world Christians - politically free, socially mobile, and resource-rich - seem typically unable or unwilling to struggle for social change. Myers uses three of the most troubling and problematic of recent events - the Los Angeles riots, the Gulf War, the Columbus quincentennial - to demonstrate how the subtle complexities of a culture of technological wizardy, information overload, and short-term memory can be recognized as blocking the first step on the journey of discipleship. Myers then turns to the second stage of discipleship which is conversion, literally a call to change direction both as individuals and as a society. He continues with a "deconstruction" of the modus vivendi of U.S. culture, using experiments in other ways of living, including social relocation andnonviolent politics. He then moves into the third stage of the call to discipleship, to reconstruct the church and the world through positive action: building solidarity with one another and with the poor, accepting and celebrating diversity and its gifts, and reclaiming the discourse of the reign of God from those who use it to defend the status quo.

Wat is gebed? Watter waarde vind ons daarin? Hoe bid 'n mens?

Die uitnodiging van hierdie boek is: Kom ons ontdek wat dit behels om tyd in die teenwoordigheid van ons Skepper deur te bring tot die punt waar ons weet dat ons ’n bewussyn ontwikkel van sy karakter, sy liefde en sy sorg vir ons as sy kinders.

In hierdie boek probeer Esté Geldenhuys die wêreld van gebed oopbreek deur:

• God se karakter te ontgin
• Die DNS van gebed te ondersoek
• Verskeie getuienisse te plaas oor die grootheid en almag van die lewende God

Mag die inhoud van hierdie boek vir elkeen wat dit lees ’n nuwe verstaan bewerk van die karakter van ons Vader, die offer wat ons Verlosser gebring het en die wonderbare kontak en kommunikasie wat die Gees van Christus vir ons bied.

Before you were born, the Most High God not only knew you but He chose you. He handpicked you and put a calling on your life. He's already equipped you and empowered you to accomplish your purpose. He stamped His approval on you and destined you to leave your mark. He says you are His most prized possession.

Don't let fear, insecurity, guilt, or regrets keep you from your greatness. Right now, God's face is shining on you. There is a distinction of favor on your life that causes you to stand out, that gives you an advantage, that opens doors of opportunity and causes you to prosper even in a downtime.

What God has in your future is greater than you've ever dreamed.
