Acerca de esta escucha
A survivor of a Japanese internment camp, the first person to cross the Atlantic in a kayak, and para-glider that jumped off of Mt. Everest in a massive snow-storm; none of these people or things have anything to do with Patrick Nachtigall, yet he has the shameless audacity to write his personal memoirs.
Rarely is book about spirituality and religion as funny and insightful as Patrick Nachtigall's No Religion Required: A Memoir of Faith, Doubt, Chocolate Milk, and Untimely Death. From an orphanage in Costa Rica to a leper colony in rural China, this is the hilarious true story of a lifelong traveling, religious pilgrim wrestling with the strange and profound claims of Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. Adopted by Christian missionaries as an infant in Central America and wanting to follow in their footsteps in rural China, Patrick turns his memoir into an exploration of the dark side of institutional religion and how it sits side-by-side with humanity's never-ending quest for spiritual fulfillment. Patrick uses academic expertise, personal experience, and humor to re-examine the role that religion has played throughout history and in various cultures.
Blessed with a gift for storytelling as well as tremendously attractive legs, the various intimate true stories from Patrick's life pose bigger questions for us all about "Why we believe in the supernatural?" Why religions can so easily become poisonous?" "How religions deal with the dark side of life and suffering?" as well as "How religions inspire us to do good." Throughout his various misadventures around the world, the question lingers whether religions is even necessary in the 21st century. Is religion something we have outgrown? Does it cause more problems than it solves? Is there room for both science and religion?
While many spiritual memoirs are dry, hard to relate to, and fail to challenge the author's own religious assumptions, No Religion Required provides an honest, transparent examination of the author's pre-conceived notions about religion, spirituality, and the Christian beliefs he was raised on. Drawing from his experience in over 80 countries and having lived and worked on five continents, Patrick is uniquely qualified to ask the questions that most haunt humanity in our increasingly secular and technologically-dependent world. No Religion Required promises to be one of the most enlightening books you will ever listen to whether you are religious, agnostic, an atheist, or just spiritual.

This book is more than Porter's own story. It also invites those who may be in the deconstruction process themselves to consider the perspective of someone who was tempted to leave his faith—yet stayed. And it provides theological insight and pastoral support to those who worry that everyone is bailing out on the church.

Tyler Merritt's video "Before You Call the Cops" has been viewed millions of times. He's appeared on Jimmy Kimmel and Sports Illustrated and has been profiled in the New York Times. The viral video's main point - the more you know someone, the more empathy, understanding, and compassion you have for that person - is the springboard for this book. By sharing his highs and exposing his lows, Tyler welcomes us into his world in order to help bridge the divides that seem to grow wider every day.

In this groundbreaking, inspiring book, Robin R. Meyers, the senior minister of Oklahoma City’s Mayflower Congregational United Church of Christ, shows how listeners can move from a theology of obedience to one of consequence. He argues that we need to stop seeing our actions as a means for pleasing a distant God and rediscover how God has empowered us to care for ourselves and the world. Drawing on stories from his decades of active ministry, Meyers captures how the struggles of ordinary people hint at how we can approach faith as a radical act of trust in a God who is all around us.

While American church culture (and American culture at large) seems largely designed for the extroverted, it's estimated that half of the American population is introverted, and they're often left wondering how, even if, they fit in the kingdom of God. As one of them, popular radio host Brant Hansen brings news. It's wonderful, refreshing, and never-been-said-this-way-before good news.

What's the hardest question you've ever been asked? I've given thousands of lectures around the country to engaged, thoughtful, curious university and church audiences and have always made it a practice to allow for as many questions as possible. Here are the most interesting ones I've been asked, and the answers I gave. Some of the questions and answers are easy, some hard; some profound, some silly; some tragic, some funny; most of them thought-provoking and all of them, I hope, entertaining.

Sister Helen Prejean’s work as an activist nun, campaigning to educate Americans about the inhumanity of the death penalty, is known to millions worldwide. Less widely known is the evolution of her spiritual journey from praying for God to solve the world’s problems to engaging full-tilt in working to transform societal injustices. Sister Helen grew up in a well-off Baton Rouge family that still employed black servants.

In this candid book based on his own struggle with doubt, John Ortberg traces the line between belief and unbelief and finds that it's less a dividing line between hostile camps than a razor's edge that runs through every soul. His findings point toward the relief of being totally honest. Doubt … Questions … Honest faith … Outrageous hope … It's a chain reaction that can actually strengthen our relationship with God, and that, says Ortberg, is cause for celebration.

Are they really true, or do we just believe them to be credible - even though there's no biblical support for them? More importantly, how does the belief in their veracity affect non-believers if we're wrong? Brad has carefully considered these ideas, as well as lived many of them.
