Steve Harper exhorts us not to have just a devotional time, but to
have a devotional life. The seven weekly sessions in this workbook
illustrate how John Wesley's devotional life can be applied to our
own. The devotionals cover scripture, prayer, and fasting, among
other topics.
The trend towards a more secular culture in Western society means
that there can be greater flexibility in a wedding ceremony, but
couples are often faced with the challenge of preparing a
meaningful celebration outside the traditional religious framework.
This hands-on, practical guide demonstrates how to approach and
prepare a secular wedding ceremony that honours a couple's
relationship with honest vows and rituals true to their shared
values. In addition, it provides guidance on structuring a ceremony
for couples that come from very different cultural or spiritual
backgrounds. Includes the tools necessary for the creation of a
ceremony, such as a Ritual Identity Questionnaire, checklists, and
many other resources.
Most people have lost a sense of destiny, God's will for their
lives. Many even believe you just can't know God's will - that in
His sovereignty, He will make it happen regardless of what you do.
Too long this viewpoint has kept Christians from knowing the full
potential He planned for them. But no more. God created you with a
specific purpose, and the good new is, He wants you to find it.
Just knowing God's will, however, isn't enough. You need to
understand the part you play if you're going to follow it. You
might be surprised to learn it involves following the desires of
your heart. But before you set off, make sure you're able to
distinguish His will from your own selfish desires.
One of the most important lessons of all is that you can't
fulfill God's will any way you want. His strength and timing, and
your obedience and patience are just a few of the things it takes.
This book explains all this and much more.
An exploration of the inner life shared by many persons in nursing
homes and retirement centers.
Being close to God means communicating with him--telling him what
is on our hearts in prayer and understanding what he is saying to
us. The second half of this conversation is so important--and so
difficult. How do we hear God? In these daily devotionals Dallas
Willard helps us understand how we can know the voice of God and
act on it. Now in a new format with an expanded introduction, this
classic provides daily Scripture readings and suggestions for
prayer, journaling and reflection to draw you into God's presence.
You may be surprised--and even transformed--by what you discover.
From the very beginning of the church, Christians have found it
helpful to pause for prayer during various times of the day.
Whether for morning or evening devotions or other fixed-time
prayers, such spiritual respites were deemed essential to
worshiping God. Over the years, Christians developed a structure
for such moments of worship, keyed to the time of day and season of
the year. Part of its genius was the seamless integration of
Scripture and prayer. This ancient practice, called the "Daily
Office," has experienced a resurgence of use in our time.
"Seeking God's Face" is a user-friendly approach to this form of
prayer and devotion. Each office includes a psalm of praise, a
passage of Scripture, and a brief set of prayers. An introduction
to prayer-book use from Eugene Peterson is included to acclimate
readers to this form.

The majority of full-time Christian workers are not missionaries
or pastors. They are in the so-called secular workplace. They are
teachers, accountants, farmers, factory workers, and store clerks.
They are no less called to ministry than their pastors, deacons, or
elders, but carrying out that ministry is not easy.

Considers the essential elements of Hebrew verse Introduces the reader to the full range of the poetry of the Old Testament, both outside the Psalter and within Fully accessible to non-specialists A select bibliography following each chapter offers suggestions for further study Because of the command not to make `graven images' the creativity of the ancient Jews was always somewhat contrained: instead of the visual arts, poetry and story became the two most important forms which depicted the relationship between God and his people. The most familiar poems in the Bible are the psalms of the Psalter, the love songs of the Song of Solomon, and the aphorisms of Proverbs. But there are also many other examples of Hebrew verse, less familiar because of being buried in narrative context. These include war poetry, vintage songs, funeral elegies, blessings, prayers, and hymns. Such poetry has a setting-in-life as well as a setting-in-literature, and needs to be read at both levels in order to appreciate its impact as a work of art. By considering the essential elements of Hebrew verse, this book introduces the reader to the full range of the poetry of the Old Testament, both outside the Psalter and within it. It is aimed at Old Testament students but is fully accessible to non-specialists as well. No knowledge of Hebrew is presumed, and a select bibliography following each chapter offers suggestions for further study.
Quien escribe esta obra sobre Jesus de Nazaret, es un pastor, un
hombre de fe, una persona que valora en gran medida las virtudes de
la experiencia religiosa saludable y liberadora en la sociedad. La
religion, desde esa optica vocacional y profesional, no debe ser
opio cautivante, ni instrumento de dominacion, sino un importante
agente de salud mental, bienestar social y redencion espiritual.
Las ensenanzas y los valores que se manifiestan en la vida y obra
de Jesus, representan lo mejor de los valores religiosos, que
tienen como finalidad formar, informar, reformar y transformar a la
humanidad. Una obra necesaria para quienes quieren entender y
disfrutar la figura de Jesus de Nazaret en su entorno historico,
social, politico, religioso y espiritual. Un libro necesario en las
bibliotecas de pastores y pastoras, maestros y maestras que desean
llevar a efecto un ministerio educativo inteligente y
transformador."
J.C. Ryle has become one of the most loved of British authors on
church matters. He was the first Bishop of Liverpool, managing to
establish a thriving diocese in that most sectarian of English
cities. Although a convinced evangelical he was regarded as
fairminded by those who disagreed with him. Even Ryle's opponents
in church politics wept when he died. His books have remained in
print for a hundred years because Ryle was able to touch the person
in the street with clear teaching on doctrinal matters. He showed
how the Bible was relevant. His writings thus lend themselves to a
devotional format and here is a new selection different to any that
have gone before. Here Eric Russell has arranged writings according
to themes that develop the reader's understanding on a topic before
moving on to new pastures. It is as refreshing as it is profound.
