Christian tradition holds that an individual's ability to respond
to God's graceto love both God and neighboris not wholly vulnerable
to earthly contingencies, such as victimization. Today, however,
trauma theory insists that situations of overwhelming violence can
permanently damage a person's capacity for responsive agency. For
Christians, this theory raises the very troubling possibility that
humans can inflict ultimate harm on each other, such that some
individuals' eternal destiny can be determined not by themselves
but by those who do great harm.
Jennifer Beste addresses the challenges that contemporary trauma
theory and feminist theory pose to deeply-held theological
convictions about human freedom and divine grace. Do our
longstanding, widespread beliefs regarding ones access to Gods
grace remain credible in light of recent social scientific research
on the effects of interpersonal injury? With an eye toward the
concrete experiences of trauma survivors, Best carefully considers
the possibility that one can be victimized in such a way that his
or her receptiveness to Gods grace is severely diminished, or even
destroyed.
Drawing on insights present in feminist and trauma theory, Beste
articulates a revised Rahnerian theology of freedom and grace
responsive to trauma survivors in need of healing. Her thinking is
characterized by two interconnected claims; that human freedom to
respond to Gods grace can in fact be destroyed by severe
interpersonal harm, and that Gods love can be mediated, at least in
part, through loving interpersonal relations. Offering crucial
insights that lead to a more adequate understanding of the relation
between Gods grace and human freedom, Bestesimportant theory
reconfigures our visions of God and humanity and alters our
perceptions of what it means to truly love ones neighbor.
Why and How Should I Tell Others is a chapter from Nicky Gumbel's
book, Questions of Life, and the thirteenth talk on Alpha. Nicky
Gumbel discusses how telling others about our faith can be a
natural part of our relationship with God. This booklet may be
given to a guest who missed this Alpha talk. Alpha creates an
environment of hospitality where people can bring their friends,
family, and work colleagues to explore the Christian faith, ask
questions and share their point of view. Alpha makes it easy to
invite friends to have spiritual conversations which explore life's
biggest questions in a safe and respectful way. Alpha's approach to
hospitality, faith, and discussion is designed to welcome everyone,
especially those who might not describe themselves as Christians or
church-goers. Each session includes time for a large group meal,
short teaching, and small group discussion.
The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? has inspired and
changed tens of millions of lives … more than any modern book.
Rick has updated and expanded the book with new chapters on the
greatest barriers to living your purpose, plus 42 video introductions
to each chapter theme, and 42 additional audio messages that go deeper
into each chapter.
He has also created a new small group curriculum and new sermon series
for pastors, and new follow-up events to conserve the evangelistic and
discipleship results you will experience.
In the original 40 Days of Purpose campaign, churches averaged 28%
growth in attendance, and over 100% growth in small group Bible study!
People WANT to know their purpose in life!
The Purpose Driven Life will enable a new generation in your church to
discover God’s purposes for their lives and empower your church with a
fresh new wind of hope, joy, and vitality!

the false and heretical teachings from pastors and teachers that
are spreading to Christians worldwide. Hill shares how every aspect
of his vision relates to Christians today. The snow represents the
false teaching that is steadily falling on the ears of many Christ
followers, covering with many layers the solid foundational truth
of Christ. Heresies including universalism, the deification of man,
overemphasized grace, and many more that will ultimately destroy
the spiritual lives of many.What happens when snow keeps falling,
creating the dangerous threat of an avalanche? Those who heed the
warnings are saved, but those who fail to listen are caught in a
deadly trap.Readers will be challenged to understand these dangers
and what they can do to help tear down these false teachings in
order to secure a layer of solid, biblical instruction that will
establish "truth" in the work of the Gospel, and help us avoid
spiritual destruction.

Hoe en wat ons dink, het ’n geweldige invloed op ons verstandelike,
emosionele en selfs fisieke welsyn. Om die waarheid te sê, ons denke
kan ons beperk tot dit wat ons glo ons kan doen, of dit kan ons dinge
laat ervaar waarvan ons nooit kon droom nie. Wanneer ons ’n denkwyse
kies wat ons vermoëns verruim, sal ons groter intellektuele
satisfaksie, emosionele beheer en fisieke gesondheid ervaar. Die vraag
is net: Hoe?
