Acerca de esta escucha
Bringing hope to all who face impossible situations, this thrilling tale has a simple message: God delights to use the unlikely candidates of this world for his greatest work.
There is a purpose to pain, so this book will be a special gift for anyone who has ever asked the question, "Why did God let it happen?" Furthermore, there is a secret in this book, a unique perspective held in common by all the great saints from the beginning of time. A secret so awesome that when understood is capable of unleashing the power of God in and through even the weakest human life.
The tool I have used to convey this transforming perspective on adversity is mentoring relationships. Mentors are renown for imparting a perspective of resilience, turning every adversity into an opportunity for growth and therefore empowering students to transform weak spots to sweet spots.
This parable lays hold on the imagery of sports to bring about a greater understanding of spiritual truths. Ace, our central figure, is a hard-core athlete who experiences an irreversible lif-altering tragedy. His life is then transformed from halting bitterness to joyful acceptance through the lessons he learns along the way to becoming an Ironman triathlete. This is not your typical novel. It is modeled intentionally after the literary classic Pilgrim's Progress, an allegory where the characters embody the qualities suggested by their names.
For example, in this story, "Buddy" is indeed a "best friend". The idea for the listener is to look for and identify the different types of racers with their various philosophies of preparation. Later, as the race progresses, we'll discover the outcome of their often flawed approaches.
Now you're ready to take the journey with "Ace" to become an Ironman triathlete. So go for it. Dive in, and discover through a colorful cast of mentors that the Scriptures are rich in the imagery of sports, and watch the spiritual athletic metaphor unfold with every word. So enjoy The Parable of the Ironman, for it is true: The kingdom of heaven is like an athlete who runs a race....

Learn to find and play the role God wants most for you to play, not the ones you feel pressured into playing for the sake of others or even our sense of accomplishment and worth. Most of us spend a lot of our lives figuring out when to say yes and when to say no. How to manage our time, reduce stress, do our best for our families, find a little space for "me". But we don't find space for our souls until we learn to step past the yes and no of daily decisions and seek a third option: the best yes. The best yes is the choice that shapes all our other choices.

Beyond Tim Tebow's exploits as a Heisman-winning football player, he is widely known and respected for his exemplary character and personal excellence, which have made him a role model for millions. When Tim interacts with the public, he often encounters people who feel "stuck" - unable to take action on matters ranging from daily life to pursuing lifelong dreams. In response, Tim often identifies a crippling fear or lack of courage, to which he advises: "Now is the time to take some risks, to quiet the voices of defeat, to step forward and make a mark, because this is the day."

When you think of a Christian pastor, you probably don't envision a tattooed 30-something who wears a motorcycle jacket, listens to hip-hop music, references The Walking Dead and Black Lives Matter in his sermons, and every Sunday draws a standing-room only crowd to a venue normally used for rock concerts - in godless New York City, no less. But then you clearly have never met Carl Lentz. As head pastor of the first United States branch of global megachurch Hillsong, the former college basketball player is on a mission to make Christianity accessible in the 21st century.

No one intends to lead up with a toxic soul, but the compound interest of discouragement and disappointment steals your passion for building God’s church. Somewhere along the way, doing the work of God steals your heart for God, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Toxic Soul examines the challenges church leaders face such as dealing with criticism, people leaving the church, a lack of resources, unmet expectations, and more.

Brady Boyd turns to the example of Jesus Christ to show that the health of our conversations can be only as vibrant as the health of our interactions with God.
