Why is suffering the common lot of all people everywhere - believers
and non-believers alike - and why does it seem that the world is out of
control when it comes to the problem of pain and suffering?
These are not easy questions, and in reality, you will never know the
answers completely until you see our Lord face to face in heaven.
Nevertheless, the Bible does give you some answers.
Who’s in Charge of a World that Suffers? includes an informative and
inspirational new introduction by Franklin Graham that speaks to
today’s reader in the midst of painful circumstances.
In this book, originally titled Till Armageddon, world-renowned
evangelist Billy Graham uncovers the clues the scriptures offer you to
this universal question--the question of suffering. Readers will
discover what the Bible says about:
- Why Christians are not exempt from suffering
- Living above your circumstances
- The place of prayer in suffering
- God’s promises for those who suffer
- And much more
Christians are called to learn what it means to trust God in every
circumstance, and to live for Him no matter what comes our way. It is
essential to think more clearly about suffering, and to rearrange your
priorities so that when your personal armageddons come, you will not be
taken by surprise or be unprepared. Christian readers, pastors, Bible
study leaders, and anyone questioning where God fits into suffering
will find encouragement in this message of hope for a broken world.

地 Stil gemoed verskyn oorspronklik in 1993 in Engels onder die
titel Tranquil Mind. Die eerste Afrikaanse uitgawe verskyn in 1997,
en die tyd is dus ryp vir 地 heruitgawe. 地 Stil gemoed is 地
eenvoudige inleiding tot die Boeddhisme en meditasie. Die
Boeddhisme is wesenlik 地 aantal metodes om met die verstand en
gemoed om te gaan. As ons hierdie metodes verstaan en op ons lewens
toepas, sal hulle ons inherente vermoe om innerlike vrede,
erbarming en wysheid te ervaar laat ontplooi deur die potensiaal
van ons gees te ontwikkel. Mediteerders in die Weste ervaar unieke
probleme as gevolg van hul kulturele, sosiale en sielkundige
agtergrond. Aan die hand van sy uitgebreide akademiese en praktiese
ervaring stel die skrywer van hierdie inleiding die onderwerp
bekend op 地 manier wat met die invloede rekening hou.
Marcus Aurelius kan as 地 ware filosoof-koning beskou word. Ten
spyte van sy roem en weelderige lewe aan die hof, het hy
voortdurend gestreef na 地 eenvoudige lewe, innerlike vryheid en
persoonlike spirituele groei. Sy Meditasies of Bepeinsinge wat
tydens sy laaste lewensjare neergeskryf is, is in 12 boeke verdeel
en is nie filosofiese teoriee nie, maar praktiese oefeninge om die
filosofie in die leser se gedagtes en optrede te laat deurwerk. Hy
besin oor die heelal en die mens as deel daarvan, die
verantwoordelikhede van die mens as 地 sosiale wese,
verdraagsaamheid teenoor alle mense, hoe om in harmonie met ander
en in ooreenstemming met jou ware aard te leef, hoe om te aanvaar
wat met jou gebeur, en uiteindelik ook die dood te aanvaar. Tydens
Marcus se heerskappy is die Christene kwaai vervolg, maar tog het
sy denke oor 地 ingetoe leefwyse wat nie deur drif nie, maar deur
verantwoordelikheid en plig beheer word, 地 groot invloed op die
Christendom uitgeoefen. Sy werk word vandag nog gelees en het in 地
era waarin waarde aan spirituele groei geheg word, nuwe betekenis
gekry.

Beauty does not linger, it only visits. Yet beauty's visitation
affects us and invites us into its rhythm, it calls us to feel,
think, and act beautifully in the world: to create and live a life
that awakens the Beautiful.
Beauty is a gentle but urgent call to awaken. Bestselling author
John O'Donohue opens our eyes, hearts, and minds to the wonder of
our own relationship with beauty by exposing the infinity and
mystery of its breadth. His words return us to the dignity of
silence, profundity of stillness, power of thought and perception,
and the eternal grace and generosity of beauty's presence. In this
masterful and revelatory work, O'Donohue encourages our greater
intimacy with beauty and celebrates it for what it really is: a
homecoming of the human spirit. As he focuses on the classical,
medieval, and Celtic traditions of art, music, literature, nature,
and language, O'Donohue reveals how beauty's invisible embrace
invites us toward new heights of passion and creativity even in
these uncertain times of global conflict and crisis.
