Jeden Tag endlos lange To-do-Listen. Das hektische Tempo des modernen Lebens. Der stetige Kampf, als Unternehmen am Markt relevant zu bleiben. Die sehr reale Bedrohung von Superbazillen und Terroranschlägen in unserem Alltag... Es ist unschwer zu erkennen, weshalb heutzutage so viele Menschen unter Stress, Sorgen und Angstattacken leiden. Leider sind das keine harmlosen Gefühlszustände - sie können sich schleichend zu chronischen Depressionen und psychosomatischen Erkrankungen entwickeln.

The Body of Messiah today is not seeing the type of spiritual outpouring that we read about in the book of Acts, even though we have access to modern buildings, transportation, and technology that Paul and Peter never even imagined. We have tools and resources far beyond what the early believers had, so common sense and simple statistics tell us that we should be accomplishing much more than they did. However, even with all of our advantages, the statistics provided by research groups tell us that the number of people who believe in Yeshua (Jesus) is on the decline. If this is true (and it ...

The written word of mankind is a revelatory tool, offering insight into a person, place, or thing. When it’s used to express ideas about a person, the reader gains insight into that person’s character and, in some sense, comes to know that person. The Holy Bible is God’s written Word and a revelatory tool, offering insight into God’s attributes and thus revealing God’s character. Through studying His Word, a person can learn about Him and come to a greater understanding of His true identity.

What do Catholics really believe about Jesus? Dr. Alan Schreck offers a thorough answer to this question. Jesus is central to everything the church believes and teaches, yet few people really understand the significance of who Jesus is in their own lives.

What role does God’s law play in the lives of Christians? Doesn’t God’s grace make the law totally obsolete? Should Christians who are saved by grace strive to keep the Ten Commandments? These questions, and others like them, have been a source of friction among Christians for centuries. This book offers answers by providing a thorough biblical analysis of law and grace, demonstrating how they are not at odds with each other.

The manner of After Crucifixion may be imagined as a moment in which in some unpretentious underground venue, the deep, resonant percussions of subwoofers roll as a carnal wave across the chest and throat before they become the bass line in a conscious musical thought. After Crucifixion has been written for the ears, the chest, the throat, no less than for focused, deliberate, disciplined thought. But it is written, in particular, for bodies befriended by the mystery of life and death

In a world where past pain often feels like a permanent weight, Her Sister’s Choices, Her Tent, invites women on a transformative journey inspired by the powerful truths of Ezekiel 23. Through the lens of this challenging yet redemptive scripture, this women's Bible study reveals how God can take the broken pieces of our lives—marked by hurt, abuse, shame, and guilt—and rebuild them into a sanctuary for His presence.

Jesus quoted Hosea in saying, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice." The prophet Samuel similarly told King Saul, "To obey is better than sacrifice. In fact, an attentive read through the Old Testament will show that there are a lot of things better than sacrifice. What was the role of Old Testament sacrifices? How does that affect our understanding of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross? Pavao forces us to look at verses we gloss over because they contradict our understanding of the purpose of the Jewish sacrificial system. Have you ever considered that God once said: I didn’t speak to your ...

Rosario Picardo was a recently divorced and slightly jaded ex-Marine when he heeded God's call to plant "a church for broken people". This book chronicles the struggles and triumphs of Embrace Church, from its beginnings in his basement as a rare urban church plant to a multi-campus congregation that reaches hundreds of folks broken by poverty, burned by Christians, and in need of healing grace.

We live in an age of practical atheism where men pay lip service to God and then do as they please. Our time is marked by a failure to meet our responsibility while believing that nothing will happen—that God will not judge His church as He’s judged His people throughout history. As we know, judgment begins at the house of God because the church bears the greater burden of guilt for possessing the greater privileges of God’s covenant, grace, salvation, and courage.

“Este es un libro libre. Libre de prejuicios atávicos. Libre de las cadenas hetero patriarcales. Libre de la matraca del dios —sí, con minúscula— masculino que tanto daño nos ha hecho a todos. Y digo a todos porque quienes no lo notan es porque no pueden —o no quieren— abrir los ojos y mirar a la realidad a la cara: Desde las religiones —y dentro de ellas— se ha despreciado el valor intrínseco de las mujeres. Por acción o/y por omisión se las ha relegado a la función de sirvientas y no de servidoras. Se las ha culpado por su forma de vestir de provocar en sus hermanos ...

What is baptism, and why is it significant? This book answers these questions by offering baptism as a life-giving prism through which we can view the entirety of our Christian experience. Far from being a staid ritual, baptism, whatever its form, gives each person, each local church, and the church as a whole a common source of identity and purpose. Drawing on a lifetime of pastoral experience and scholarship, Dr. Shoemaker explores the spectrum of meanings present in our own baptisms and offers a wealth of ideas for church leaders as they prepare times of worship centered around this ...

The saints must rise to confront the powers of darkness and even cast out evil spirits who have entered the bodies of those they can possess. Learning how to effectively pray to cast about evil spirits is a big part of what Jesus Christ has commissioned his disciples to do. Christians must become equipped in these last days to minister deliverance to those who are demonized. I have written on a wide range of topics related to spiritual warfare to help equip the saints for this spiritual warfare battle. Let us walk out the Great Commission to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, and ...
