This Advent book invites readers to commit to the practice of daily
prayer. The collection of meditations from The Upper Room daily
devotional guide is arranged to coordinate with the themes of the
four candles on an Advent wreath: Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace.
Meditations are included for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the
Sunday after Christmas. A complete Leader's Guide for small groups
and instructions for making an Advent wreath are included.
A selection from Underhill's enduring devotional writings, chosen
for their pertinence to Lenten themes. Half a century has passed
since Evelyn Underhill's death, yet her devotional writings have
endured as a beacon to those who seek a deeper understanding of the
interior life in the mystical Christian tradition. The editor's
personal discovery of Underhill's works when he was a young student
at General Theological Seminary moved him to pursue an extensive
knowledge of her writings. From these he has skillfully culled
readings appropriate for every day of Lent, from Ash Wednesday to
Easter Eve and broadly following liturgical themes. Now back in
print, these selections were chosen with the purpose of deepening
Lenten observance by allowing the reader to follow the thought of
Underhill, from the spiritual stocktaking theme for Ash Wednesday
to Easter Saturday's joyous anticipation of God's ultimate Gift.
A new translation of the foundation texts of the Zoroastrian
religion, the Gathas (songs) composed by Zoraster himself, together
with the Liturgy in seven chapters composed shortly after his death
some 2600 years ago. After a substantial introduction to
Zoroaster's religious thought, West presents the translations with
facing page explanations of the meaning of each verse.
Saint Therese of Lisieux is known as a saint, mystic, Doctor of the
Church and is one of the most venerated saints of the Church. Her
simple, yet remarkably profound Little Way is a wonderful devotion
for all Christians.
Now, take the wisdom and holiness of Saint Therese wherever you
go. In " 30 Days with Saint Therese of Lisieux," Thomas J.
Craughwell packs the wisdom of Saint Therese and the scriptures
into a 30-day devotional.
Supplemented by meditations and prayers for each day, "30 Days
with Saint Therese of Lisieux" is the perfect way to begin
following her Little Way.
Do You Know Who You Are in God's Eyes? Have you ever been tempted
to doubt God's love? Well, He never gives up on you. Do you spend
much of your life trying to earn God's favor? What a tragic waste
of time--because you already have His love! It is the gift of life,
which God freely gives you when you decide to follow Christ. It
comes with no strings attached and lasts for eternity. Neil T.
Anderson--bestselling author of Victory Over the Darkness and The
Bondage Breaker--reveals and defines your special place in God's
family in this powerful devotional that has sold over 100,000
copies! Who I Am in Christ includes 36 readings and prayers, each
and every one based on scriptural passages that assure you of God's
love and your security and freedom in His kingdom. Welcome to His
Word and His world-- where you are the apple of His eye!
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for
the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." (Mark 10:14 NIV)
Four-year-old Benjamin pressed his nose against the airplane
window and searched the sky. "What are you looking for?" his mom
asked back. Without glancing up he answered, "For heaven, where God
lives."
This unique devotional takes its inspiration from the innocent
and earnest words of children. Pairing heartwarming anecdotes with
Scripture, Growing Towards God is a wonderful reflection for
mothers and grandmothers, reminding readers of the wisdom we hear
every day "from the mouths of babes."
Many Christians are locked in a cycle of addiction, particularly in
the areas of alcohol and drug abuse. Adapting his successful Steps
to Freedom in Christ, Dr. Neil Anderson has provided an alternative
model of recovery for substance and alcohol abusers--a model that
has also freed hundreds of thousands struggling with other kinds of
addictions. But the devil doesn't give up easily. So to further
help recovering addicts still struggling with temptation, there is
the One Day at a Time devotional. Here are inspirational readings
that reinforce the Steps to Freedom and encourage those on the road
to recovery. This product is for those who want to break free from
a debilitating lifestyle of addiction, and for pastors and
counselors to use with their clients.
Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy
Keller writes the book his readers have been asking for: A
year-long daily devotional, beautifully designed with gilt edges
and a gold ribbon marker. The Book of Psalms is known as the
Bible's songbook-Jesus knew all 150 psalms intimately, and relied
on them to face every situation, including his death. Two decades
ago, Tim Keller began reading the entire Book of Psalms every
month. The Songs of Jesus is based on his accumulated years of
study, insight, and inspiration recorded in his prayer journals.
Kathy Keller came to reading the psalms as a support during an
extended illness. Together they have distilled the meaning of each
verse, inviting readers into the vast wisdom of the psalms. If you
have no devotional life yet, this book is a wonderful way to start.
If you already spend time in study and prayer, understanding every
verse of the psalms will bring you a new level of intimacy with
God, unlocking your purpose within God's kingdom.

Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240) has long been known as a great spiritual
master. His many works of prose and poetry are beginning to be more
accessible in translation in Western languages. They possess the
remarkable quality of being able to speak to people of all walks of
life and belief, across the apparent barrier of many centuries and
differing cultures. Despite this growing interest, the prayers
which are attributed to him remain little-known. They provide a
most precious glimpse into the real practice of the mystical life
within the Sufi tradition. This is the first time that any of Ibn
'Arabi's prayers have been published in another language. This
particular collection is one of the most beautiful, having been
revered in the Islamic world for centuries. There are fourteen
prayers, one for each day and night of the week. They include not
only the most astounding expressions of contemplation and devotion
to God, but also an unparalleled depth of knowledge of Union
(tawhid). As the translators show in their introduction, the very
structure of the prayers is a mode of contemplation, since for Ibn
'Arabi the weekly cycle itself is sacred. These prayers are
presented with notes and appendices.
Steve Harper exhorts us not to have just a devotional time, but to

own. The devotionals cover scripture, prayer, and fasting, among
other topics.
Estas a punto de embarcarte en un viaje de descubrimiento. A lo
largo de estas seis nuevas sesiones, basadas en estudios impartidos
por Rick Warren, vas a descubrir la respuesta a la pregunta
fundamental de la vida: ' Para que estoy aqui en la tierra?'. Y
esta es una pista de la respuesta: 'No se trata de ti... Fuiste
creado por Dios y para Dios, y hasta que lo entiendas, tu vida no
tendra ningun sentido. Solo en el encontramos nuestro origen,
nuestra identidad, nuestro sentido, nuestro proposito, nuestro
significado y nuestro destino. Cualquier otra ruta termina en un
callejon sin salida'."
