Originally published in 1904, Quiet Talks on Prayer focuses on the importance of prayer and how we are unaware of the power of prayer and this most intimate way of communicating with God.

No one has more questions about God than those who know Him best. When you first become a Christian, your relationship with God begins much like entering into the small end of a funnel. Then with every step you take further toward the light of God’s presence, the more the funnel widens out and the bigger you realize He is. With every step you take closer to God, He gets two steps bigger. The funnel never stops widening out, but our minds can only expand so far. A person can know God intimately for decades yet still feel like they’ve only scratched the surface. The more you learn the ...

"Cristo en ti" es un tema poderoso y transformador que a menudo se pasa por alto en la comunidad de la iglesia.

Life in the Body of Christ is a must-listen for every Christian. Every age group in every evangelical church should make it a point to study this book chapter by chapter, look seriously at every suggestion, and meditate on every scripture suggested for that purpose. Curtis Thomas has given us a gift, a stimulus to edifying reflection and action on every pertinent aspect of corporate and individual responsibility and privilege to be pursued in the life of a local church. His suggestions are brief but turgid with biblical insight and healthy church experience.

This message is about living by faith. Faith is not a leap in the dark. It is not living and doing selfishly irrational things and then calling them justified because of our ‘faith’. Biblical faith is concrete. It is basing one’s life on the only sure foundation. It is believing and trusting in God for both this life and the life to come. It is planting your flag on solid ground. It is holding onto your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, despite the darkness and decay you see around you. It is my hope and prayer that this message will help you, even a little, and encourage you to follow ...

“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 ...

Read David’s inaugural song of thanksgiving at the Tabernacle of David again (1 Chronicles 16). That describes someone who “fears and loves to think about God” (Malachi 3:16-18). These people in Malachi who openly declare their love and appreciation for God learned the lessons of the Tabernacle of David while most long forgot its meaning and practice.’ What David did, especially since the dedication of the Tabernacle of David was proceeded by burnt and peace offerings, showed God’s declaration of peace with those “who fear and love to think about Me” (Malachi 3:16-18). It was ...

Fazlur Rahman was one of the great 20th-century Muslim modernists, whose prolific writing and sheer number of students who make up a who’s who of Islamic studies throughout North America reveal the impact that he has had on both academe and on Muslim communities throughout the world. The modernist approach is contrasted with the radical approach of Mawlana Mawdudi of Pakistan.

Hemos titulado el presente libro El árbol de las religiones por ser el árbol uno de los símbolos más extendidos y con mayor trascendencia en casi todas las civilizaciones. La razón principal está en que en el árbol, de las raíces a la copa, se unen en sí los mundos subterráneo, terrestre y celeste. Todo árbol tiene sus raíces en la tierra, símbolo de la humanidad enraizada en la madre naturaleza. Por las raíces sube la sabia de vida, que es el sentimiento religioso fruto de la filiación divina. Y el tronco con sus diferentes ramas se abre hacia el cielo con la oración de ...

Even among Christians there is a difference of opinion about the end of the world. All seem to agree there is a spiritual component to end times, but well-loved preacher D. L. Moody provides a sermon on how he interprets the biblical texts on the subject - and why he believes this is God's blessed hope.

"Behold, I will allure her, and will lead her into the wilderness: and I will speak to her heart." Hosea 2:14 After a thousand years and in a new world, this volume assembles, for the first time in any language, all the key foundational writings of the oldest eremitic order of the Western Church. The earliest of these, Saint Bruno-Boniface's The Life of the Five Hermit Brothers, doubles as one of the most important documents of early Polish history. The two most celebrated works of "the Monitor of Popes", Doctor of the Church Saint Peter Damian, are included: The Life of Blessed Romuald and...

Indulgences are one of the great misunderstood mercy's available to us from God. Unlocking Indulgences is a doctrinal work on indulgences. It follows closely the teachings of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Manual of Indulgences, Norms and Grants (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC, 1999), and various papal documents on the subject. This book has received an imprimatur (March 2019) from the Catholic Church. “Indulgences opens a special door to this treasury for all the faithful.” (Manual of Indulgences, Norms and Grants, USCCB) “It is a sensitive ...

This book gives you God’s big picture, a short narrative that covers God’s purposes from Genesis through Revelation for the earth, for man, for Satan and his war with God, God’s plans for Jesus, and God’s conclusion culminating in his mighty wrath against his enemies. Of course, we have a big Genesis Surprise, because God is exposing the lies about the Copernicus/NASA Heliocentric model of the Universe. Christians are admitting to each other in private that they believe the Bible describes a flat earth, and this topic has become one of the top “secret” topics among Christians ...

This classic little book for new and experienced theologians alike offers wise counsel on the difficulties - and vital importance - of maintaining one's spiritual health in the course of academic theological study. Since the book's first appearance in English translation in 1962, thousands of beginning theological students have had the opportunity to eavesdrop, as it were, on the opening lecture of a theological seminar by one of the 20th century's leading Christian thinkers, Helmut Thielicke.

Mary’s Journey describes the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of the Lord and his foremost disciple, as a model for following Jesus in our own time. The book begins by tracing her life journey of faith and discipleship in the New Testament. A second section describes the Church’s journey of faith with her in the four major Marian doctrines. Finally, the book links our journey of prayer with Mary by considering the principal Marian feast days and various devotions. The overall aim of the book is to draw us closer to the Blessed Virgin Mary and, through her, closer to her son, Jesus Christ.

God is neither omnipotent nor impotent but amipotent. At least that’s what Thomas Jay Oord argues. In The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence and other books, Oord makes biblical, philosophical, theological, and experiential cases against omnipotence. Oord does more than deconstruct omnipotence. He offers amipotence to replace it. This new word and idea points to the power of God’s uncontrolling love. Because an uncontrolling God loves everyone and everything, an amipotent God can’t control anyone or anything. This is good news! And yet an amipotent God is stronger than any ...

Chris Castaldo takes readers on a fascinating and practical exploration of the challenges and opportunities encountered by Catholics who become Evangelicals. More than just theological insight and historical background, Holy Ground shows you how to emulate the grace and truth of Jesus as you relate to your own Catholic past and the Catholic faith of those you love.

We live in a genuinely unique period of human history, one in which the alarmist's hackneyed warning that "the end is near!" could actually come true. The world is cluttered with increasingly powerful advanced technologies. Global warming and biodiversity loss are unchecked catastrophes that will likely push society to the brink of collapse. How are we to respond to this situation? What can we do to maximize the probability of a positive outcome for our species?

Transcending Architecture considers the mysterious, profound, and real power of designed environments to address the spiritual dimension of our humanity. The book offers a wide, critical, and nuanced understanding of the lived relationship between the built and the numinous worlds. It examines phenomenological, symbolic and designerly ways in which the holy gets fixed and experienced through buildings, landscapes, and urban forms, and not just in institutionally defined religious or sacred places. Transcending Architecture brings together a stellar group of scholars and practitioners to share their insights: architect Juhani Pallasmaa and philosopher Karsten Harries, comparative religion scholar Lindsay Jones and architectural theoretician Karla Britton, sacred architecture researcher Thomas Barrie and theologian Kevin Seasoltz, landscape architect Rebecca Krinke and Faith & Form magazine editor Michael Crosbie, are among the illustrious contributors.
