The heart can break in many ways and for many reasons. However, in this short audiobook, I am writing to you who have been hurt - sinned against, taken advantage of - by another. I am writing to the abused. The broken heart I hope to speak to is the one that was robbed by man, and now finds it hard to hope, to feel, to believe. Jesus loves you. He is with you. He pursues and will judge him who hurt you.

I didn’t choose to be born. In other words, I didn’t choose to exist. I didn’t choose my parents or my circumstances. I definitely did not choose my looks or my personality. And yet these things and these people seem to define me. I didn’t choose for those bad things to happen. But they mark me. They made me fear, fight, be insecure, and even do things I wish I didn’t do. And now these things seem to define me. How do I get out of this maze? Who am I really? Where do I belong? God says, ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love,’ and ‘before you were born I called you by ...

Incluso el nombre ‘escuela media’ te hace sentir como si no estuvieras aquí, ni allí, ¡estás en el medio! Sin embargo, la verdad es que la secundaria no está en ‘segundo lugar’, ¡es un lugar muy importante por derecho propio! Y esta etapa de tu vida (tu edad, tus amigos, tus sentimientos) también es muy importante. Espero que disfrutes leyendo estas reflexiones devocionales, y que crezcas en 3 aspectos clave: 1) Que conozcas mejor a Jesús; 2) Que sientas más paz y felicidad en tu amistad con Jesús; 3) Que aprendas algunas maneras de compartir a Jesús con tus amigos –no ...

El propósito de la vida, para todo hombre, mujer y niño, es alcanzar y encontrar a Dios. Conocerle, ahora y siempre. ‘Dios creó a todos los hombres para que lo buscaran, lo alcanzaran y lo encontraran’. (Hechos 17:25-27) Y este último versículo termina diciendo: ‘Él no está lejos de cada uno de nosotros.’ ¿Ha llegado a tu vida la hora de que busques a Dios y lo encuentres? ¿Ha llegado el momento de hacer las paces con Dios, ahora y siempre? Jesús dijo: ‘Yo soy la puerta...’ (Juan 10:9) Peter Walker y su familia viven en Carolina del Norte, Estados Unidos. Para más ...

En este breve libro trabajo en orden inverso. Empiezo compartiendo qué hago ahora al tratar con las sectas, y luego voy atrás para explicar cómo llegué a eso a través de los años. Comparto algunas experiencias personales y versículos clave, que me han ayudado a crecer en esta área y a tener una base para tratar con las sectas. Me centro principalmente en el error central y común de todas, es decir, negar la verdadera identidad de Jesús y, por tanto, el verdadero mensaje del Evangelio. (2 Corintios 11:4) La verdadera identidad de Jesús es lo que se niega en todas las sectas (y en ...

El corazón puede romperse de muchas maneras y por muchas razones. Sin embargo, en este breve folleto te escribo a ti, que has sido herido por – contra quien ha pecado, de quien se ha aprovechado – otra persona. Me dirijo a los abusados. El corazón roto al que espero hablar es al que le fue robado algo, y ahora le cuesta esperar, sentir, creer. Jesús te ama. Él está contigo. Él persigue y juzgará al que te hizo daño. No sólo pedirá cuentas a tu agresor, sino que en este mismo momento Jesús anhela derramar Su Espíritu sanador sobre ti y darte un ‘corazón nuevo y un ...

‘Moses came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush... though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” (Exodus 3:1-4) I think this moment when the Lord meets with Moses captures the essence of when the Lord meets with anyone – with you, with me. It is a quiet moment away from other people. It is deep, it is spiritual. It is a revelation that is beyond nature, impossible, but true – like something on fire, but not burning ...

The global humanitarian system, already under considerable strain, will soon be tested as never before.

Jesus called his followers to share his message with others. ‘The Holy Spirit will testify about me, but you also must testify, because you have been with me.’ (John 15:26-27) His message, his ‘good news’, being his own name and person: ‘God with us.’ (Matthew 1:23) God has come. His name is Jesus Christ. He paid for our sin by his own death. He came back to life. He calls us to turn away from our sin, to believe in him. If we do this, we will be forgiven, and live forever with God. This is the message that messengers brought to you and me. And this is the message that we are to...

As the King's young cousin, an admired scholar living in Italy, it falls to Reginald Pole to make the case for Henry's divorce from Katherine of Aragon. And it falls to the hapless Michael Throckmorton - the younger son of an impecunious titled family - to become Thomas Cromwell's messenger to Pole in Rome.

I remember when I was six years old and saying goodbye to a friend. Our family was moving country. We had everything packed and the car engine running. This buddy came running out and handed me his prized keychain as a gift. I knew it was his favorite of all time – a little Lego man on a chain. Our friendship meant more to him than his favorite thing, so he gave me the thing to make sure I knew that. Jesus had an amazing experience like this one time. It was shortly before his death, and a woman named Mary sensed this. Jesus had meant a lot to this woman; he had forgiven her sins and had ...

I love to hide. I love to get off the grid of life, even just for half an hour. I sometimes make a cup of coffee, turn off my phone, and sit on the floor somewhere in a back room of the house, or in the shed, and just close my eyes. We live in a torn and broken life. Think about your day for a minute. Everything we do is survival: working for money, using it buy food to ward off hunger, to pay rent for a roof overhead; washing clothes for work, sleeping for energy to work, appointments for health, for teeth, for hair, for repair… car breaks down and insurance won’t pay. And then there ...

It is 1967, and as America's allies hesitate over whether to send more troops to Vietnam, and the strains of "All You Need is Love" echo from Abbey Road, students take to the streets of Wellington, New Zealand, to protest the war. Among them are Race, Candy, Chadwick, and FitzGerald, and their elusive, electrifying friend Morgan Tawhai. They are young and hopeful, and the world is all before them. Forty years later, in Washington, DC, Race's son Toby is navigating his own path across a landscape still trembling with the reverberations of 9/11.

Elias Girawong, Earth Wizard and knowledge keeper, must act. His ceremony, calling the thirteen, heralds a long overdue change to shake the foundations of life itself. But there are those who covet power beyond reason. Each of the thirteen "called" have their assigned roles. Each of them must travel to join the circle of thirteen. Each of them must face the challenge of their journey and the will and power of those who would thwart them.

I was at a gas station sharing verse cards and booklets with people. It was a windy day but the rain was holding off… A guy that looked homeless to me went into the station, bought a cup of coffee, and came back outside and stood next to me. His name was Tim. Turns out he was not homeless, and he was, in fact, quite wealthy. He loved Jesus. He spoke to me in very simple, spiritual terms. One thing he said to me was: ‘Before you were born, Jesus said what you would do, and who you would be!’ Two key things that Tim put down here in faith for me, for you: 1. Your God-Given Path: God has...

(Excerpt from the Introduction) We find ourselves here without a map! Where do we go? What way do we take? What is life’s purpose? Where is it going? In this short book I want to share with you a ‘map’ that God has given us. We don’t have to be lost. We were made by God, and he has provided us with guidance for this life, and for all eternity. He did not leave us alone – even though it can feel like that sometimes.
