Kan eet teruggeëis word as heilige daad, deels met die wete dat jy nooit
geïsoleerd is nie, selfs al voel dit so?
Hedendaagse verbruikerskultuur vergeet die onsigbare, minag die ontasbare en
maak ’n bespotting van die geringe. Is daar ’n lewegewende alternatief vir hierdie
kultuur? Ons kan dit verander deur Christelike spiritualiteit en die keuse om
aandagtig en bewustelik te lewe. Jy kan dit doen by ’n tafel – jy kan ’n sinnelose,
bedwelmde bestaan ontkom en jy kan sien en hoor wat jy nooit sal sien en hoor
as jy slegs ’n gewone verbruiker bly nie. Begin deur bewustelik te eet. Kyk na jou
bord, asem die reuke in, kyk saam met wie eet jy, besef dat iets moes sterf vir
daardie kos om op jou bord te beland, hetsy ’n hoender of ’n wortel. Die tafel is
die verbindingsplek, met jouself, die natuur, met ander mense en met God. Kry
balans in alles – moenie te veel eet nie, moenie te min eet nie, eet van alles, eet
volhoubaar.

communion with him every minute of the day. Easy to read and full
of wisdom, Letters by a Modern Mystic is essential reading for
anyone seeking to deepen their connection with God or wanting to
make their spiritual formation part of their everyday life. With a
foreword by Pete Grieg show its continued relevance for today, it

with God in every moment and change the way you approach your
faith. Included at the back of this book is 'The Game with
Minutes', the practical guide Laubach developed to assist others in
applying the principles and spiritual practices in his letters. It
is a game that has transformed countless lives - and it is time for
a new generation to play.

Daar woed elke dag, die hele dag lank, ’n onsigbare oorlog om vroue.
Dit kan nie gesien of gehoor word nie, maar dit kan in elke aspek van
’n mens se lewe gevoel word. ’n Onwrikbare, bose vyand wil chaos
veroorsaak in alles wat vir ’n vrou saak maak: haar hart, gedagtes,
huwelik, kinders, verhoudings, drome en toekoms. Maar sy oorlogsplan
behels dat hy haar onverhoeds en ongewapen moet vang.
In die Bybelstudie Die wapenrusting van God, deur New York
Times-topverkoperouteur en motiveringspreker Priscilla Shirer, word
vroue met behulp van Skrifstudie en besprekingsvrae toegerus met die
wapenrusting van God, waarvan gebed die belangrikste is.
Die wapenrusting van God is meer as net ’n Bybelse beskrywing van ’n
gelowige se wapenrusting; dit is ’n 7-week-aksieplan om oorwinning te
behaal in die geestelike stryd.
The Holy Spirit is frequently misunderstood, leaving many clueless
about who He is and how He expresses Himself to us. He is often
portrayed as something “weird”. But the Bible makes it clear that the

invites you into a personal discovery of the Person and work of the
Holy Spirit. This interactive book is a multi-purpose, 3-in-1 guide –
part book, part Bible study and part group study.
Each chapter is divided into five recommended daily readings with
corresponding devotional studies at the end of the chapter. Group
discussion questions for each chapter can be found after the daily
devotions. The Holy Spirit: An Introduction also features an in-depth
question-and-answer session in a bonus chapter, covering some of the
toughest questions about the Holy Spirit.
