Evagrius Ponticus (345-399 n.Chr.) beschreibt in seiner Schrift de oratione das Gebet als eine innere Haltung. Ausfuhrlich geht er auf die Voraussetzungen des Gebets ein und auch die Bedrohungen, die er als "Damonen" bezeichnet. Durch die Untersuchungen der Autorin werden insbesondere zur Frage nach dem Verfasser von de oratione neue Erkenntnisse gewonnen: Nur eine Grundsubstanz kann Evagrius Ponticus zugeschrieben werden, nicht der gesamte Umfang der 153 Kapitel. Die gedankliche und sprachliche Abhangigkeit von Origenes, Clemens von Alexandrien und Gregor von Nyssa wird herausgearbeitet. Sie erklart auch die philosophische Pragung der theologischen Schrift. Eine deutsche UEbersetzung von de oratione ist beigefugt.

"Families are living stories. They tell us where we came from, guide us as we live our lives, and help us see who we could become. Especially priceless are the lives and words of those who came before us.

From Christ-followers living near the time of the apostles to the early defenders of the faith, we are enriched by the wise advice and inspiring examples of our Christian ancestors. In the face of heresy and persecution, these saints lived lives faithful to the gospel story.

The Book of Saints: The Early Era is a devotional gateway to the thoughts and insights of church leaders and teachers who lived before the middle of the fourth century AD. Living in a pagan world, much like our own, these saintly persons have much to say to us today. Their words and life stories, along with prayers and Scripture selections, are brought together in this book to inspire and challenge us to a life of love and holiness, the great themes of our family story."

Dorothy L. Sayers took her inspiration from a monk's account of the fire of 1174, and the subsequent rebuilding of Canterbury Cathedral Quire. She portrays William of Sens, the chosen architect, as eaten away by pride in his splendid work, unable to give glory to God for his achievement. Enacted in the presence of a group of graciously influential archangels, the play reveals the carelessness of some of the monks, resulting in the terrifying fall that cripples William. His agony brings him to repentance and gratitude before God, and finally to the renunciation of his role, leaving the completion of the rebuilding to others. This edition also comes with an English translation of the Latin texts in the play.

Durante un viaje en tren desde Chicago a Texas a fines de la decada de 1940, A.W. Tozer empezo a escribir "La Busqueda De Dios." Escribio durante toda la noche, las palabras surgiendo a su mente al ritmo que las podia apuntar. Cuando el tren llego a McAllen, el borrador estaba terminado.

A pesar de haber sido escrito en tan poco tiempo, la profundidad, claridad e integridad del mensaje de A.W. Tozer han hecho que "La Busqueda De Dios "sea un libro favorito hasta presente. Mas de 1.5 millones de ejemplares han sido impresos en 20 idiomas.
