Dr. Billy Graham says in the "Words of Wisdom" foreword, "The
Psalms tell us how to get along with God, and the Proverbs tell us
how to get along with our fellow man." As has long been Dr.
Graham's personal practice, "Words of Wisdom" makes it easy for
anyone to read five Psalms and a chapter from Proverbs each day for
31 days. This beautiful LeatherLike gift edition offers a
convenient, easy-to-understand, and enjoyable way to discover how
these ancient words deliver valuable life principles. King David
wrote many of the Psalms, often with the passion of a worshiper and
the anxiety of a 21st-century person, while dealing with everyday
tensions. His son Solomon, largely known for his wisdom, wrote the
wisdom literature of the Proverbs. In these nearly 3,000-year-old
sacred writings, we hear the voices and counsel of those who knew
God intimately. Let "Words of Wisdom" encourage you with divine
hope and affirmation for living the life God has planned for you.
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.
With 31 short, easy-to-digest chapters, R. Larry Moyer provides
encouragement and inspiration for living out your faith, regardless
of where you work. With real-life examples, suggestions for how to
pray, and Scripture passages to study, this book will equip any
Christian to spread the good news every day.

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.
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.

hombre de fe, una persona que valora en gran medida las virtudes de
la experiencia religiosa saludable y liberadora en la sociedad. La

opio cautivante, ni instrumento de dominacion, sino un importante
agente de salud mental, bienestar social y redencion espiritual.

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

Prayer for the Day brings together 365 selected readings from the
much loved, long-running series on BBC Radio 4. The programme,
which has been broadcast daily at 5:43am for several decades, and
continues to attract over half a million dedicated listeners,
comprises a short 2-minute reflection to start your day. These
artfully combine traditional forms of prayer and reflection, from a
variety of religions and denominations, with contemporary issues
and themes that are often relevant to the date on which the
programme is broadcast. In keeping with the theme of 'Prayer for
the Day', there are 365 reflections in the book, from a vast range
of the eminent religious figures and broadcasters who have
contributed to the programme over the years. There is a foreword by
a prominent figure in the faith community, a short profile of each
contributor and an index of contributors. To emphasise the point
that the reflections can be used daily, they are ordered by date
(i.e. 1st January, 2nd January etc), and each entry is selected on
the basis of it being as date-specific as possible. The date of
broadcast is underneath each entry, and dates are also marked at
the top corners of each page so they can be found easily. The
spacious design includes page openers for each month with simple
line illustrations. Prayer for the Day is a beautiful and
inspirational addition to any bedside table, with religious
meditations that both participate in the ecumenical spirit of the
21st century and equip you perfectly for each day's journey.
