Titoli in Crescita spirituale e ispirazione

Nuestras iglesias y hogares necesitan hombres dispuestos a seguir el camino de la piedad sin importar el costo. Las disciplinas de un hombre piadoso ha servido como una herramienta para este fin, y sus palabras siguen siendo relevantes en nuestros días. Con ilustraciones cautivadoras, sabiduría bíblica y sugerencias prácticas para la vida diaria, Hughes presenta una franca discusión bíblica sobre temas importantes como el hombre cristiano, la familia, la piedad, el liderazgo, y el ministerio.

A Sojourner's Truth is an African American girl’s journey from South Carolina to the United States Naval Academy, and then to her calling as an international speaker, mentor, and thought-leader. Intertwined with Natasha's story is the story of Moses, who was born into a marginalized group, resisted the injustices of Pharaoh, denied the power of Egypt, and trusted God even when he did not fully understand where he was going. Along the way we explore the spiritual and physical tensions of truth-telling, character and leadership development, and bridge-building across lines.

When the Bible talks about the third- and fourth-generational curse, that's so true. If the curse is not broken by you, then who will stop it dead in its tracks? Fierce Wholeness: Finding Myself After Childhood Emotional Trauma is Robin's story—in all of its raw and messy but authentic and beautiful transparency—as she seeks to repair the dam that had been busted, the riverbed that had been washed away, the landscape that had been obliterated by her family of origin. Listeners who grew up in the clutches of the branches of emotional abuse will be empowered by Robin's story.

What does it really mean to be a Christian? In a world where everything from sports to politics, social media to podcasts, and movies to television vies for our attention, we need to get back to what is essential. We need to know who we truly are and who we serve. When people finally grasp who they are in Christ and what their participation means to their local church, everything changes. Life begins to make sense. Their purpose becomes clear. Their mission through their local church is confirmed. Their hearts start longing to cooperate with God in the company of fellow believers.

Even a cursory scrolling of social media may lead you to the conclusion that you have to be angry to do theology. Sadly, our day is characterized by theological fighting—complete with harsh words, exaggeration, biting sarcasm, and the spirit of tearing down our brothers and sisters in Christ. But it does not have to be this way. In fact, it should not be this way. Ronni Kurtz swims upstream to counter this prevailing problem. Instead of theology leading to anger, division, and discord, this book shows that the life of the mind can actually lead to the fruit of the Spirit

We were told technology would make our lives easier and more convenient, but it just seems to have made it more complicated and confusing. As Christians, what does our faith have to do with these pressing issues of life in a digital age? In Following Jesus in a Digital Age, you will not only be challenged on how technology is shaping your walk with Christ, but you will also be equipped with biblical wisdom to navigate the most difficult aspects of our digital culture—including the rise of misinformation, conspiracy theories, social media, digital privacy, and polarization.

Lauren and Tony Dungy have impacted countless people through the years with their generosity and care for others. But the Dungys’ influence isn’t the result of their achievements, fame, or finances. Instead, it stems from the proactive, intentional choices they make every day—choices that have positioned them to live a life of profound meaning. As you implement the practices laid out in this book using your strengths and talents, you will see an unmistakable and massive boost in your personal impact on those around you and your ability to see others with a heart of compassion.

Trauma can either be used as a catalyst for growth, sparking empathy and a closer relationship with God, or as fuel for shame, avoidance, and isolation. Many veterans and first responders know firsthand the toll that trauma can take but lack the knowledge of how to grow from it and move forward.

Christians belong to God's own family. This promise is difficult for some people to believe, and even for some believers to remember in their day-to-day struggles with shame or regret. But it's repeated throughout the Bible, reflected in Christ's genealogy, and true of the church today; God's family is filled with broken people whose stories are a testament to his staggering love. In He Is Not Ashamed, Erik Raymond takes a close look at the "family portrait" of God and shows that God is not repelled by anyone's shameful past, but delights to redeem and receive those who believe in him.

Culture, church, and life have sold us narratives about who we’re supposed to be as women. If we play the part well, we gain love, acceptance, validation, and significance. When we don’t know which role to play from one day to the next, we sink in insecurity. We feel driven to people-please, downplay, settle, and perform. In all this, we accept less than the abundant life Jesus died to give us. Amanda Pittman explains how we can rewrite our damaging self-beliefs with the truth about our God-given identity by establishing clarity, connection, competency, and conviction.

Many women enter or stay in relationships out of fear of being alone, shame, or insecurity which may cause them to lower their standards or expectations. What they find are men they normally would never have tolerated. What they find are BooBoo Dudes—men who portray narcissistic and abusive behavior, leading to confusion, shame, and eventual isolation. With wisdom rooted in the gospel, Ainsley tenderly brings the listener along her own journey toward confidence found only in Jesus. She embraced her identity and left BooBoo Dudes behind. Every woman can do the same.

Por medio de este estudio bíblico, aprenderás a cambiar las satisfacciones del mundo por una vida de contentamiento, el egoísmo por humildad y la incredulidad por una rica comunión con Dios en tu viaje de la vida.

Con toda sinceridad debemos admitir que la vida no es fácil para las mujeres de hoy. Al mismo tiempo de tener un sinnúmero de responsabilidades, a veces perdemos nuestro enfoque de seguir la piedad. Por medio de relatos conmovedores y fieles recordatorios, Barbara Hughes le ayudará a escudriñar cada área de su vida, rendirla por completo a Dios, y volver a descubrir las disciplinas que forman un carácter piadoso.

Dios comparte amorosamente con usted Su visión de una vida de belleza, mediante la apariencia alegre y gozosa, el espíritu creativo, y la gracia femenina de la cual habla Proverbios 31. Con sensibilidad y sabiduría Elizabeth George revela el corazón de la mujer de todos los tiempos, y la anima a adoptar las puras virtudes de la belleza: fortaleza de carácter, lealtad que honra su matrimonio y su familia, compasión por los necesitados, un emprendedor espíritu de provisión, disciplina y visión para dirigir su vida sabiamente.

La vie chrétienne est un véritable combat pour la sainteté. Notre vocation à être mis à part nous place dans la ligne de mire d’une culture qui s’oppose à la vérité de Dieu. Même si le monde qui nous entoure change, notre combat reste le même. Dans ce livre, John MacArthur nous présente un plan de bataille fondé sur la Parole de Dieu qui nous aidera à rester fidèles au Seigneur. Dieu a révélé quel comportement nous devons adopter. Par sa Parole et son Esprit, il nous fournit tout ce dont nous avons besoin pour persévérer dans la sainteté et l’humilité.

La mort d'un enfant est l'expérience la plus dévastatrice qu'un parent puisse vivre. Il s'agit également d'une expérience compliquée pour ses amis et ses proches qui sont chrétiens. Toutefois, Dieu ne vous abandonne pas à votre deuil. Dans ce livre, John MacArthur met en lumière les multiples passages bibliques faisant allusion à l'amour inébranlable de Dieu pour les enfants et à son assurance quant à leur sécurité éternelle. En se servant de nombreux exemples tirés de la vraie vie, cet enseignant de renom dévoile une perspective biblique sur des questions troublantes.

La Bible est attaquée de toutes parts. Dans L’Écriture seule, John MacArthur défend la fiabilité de l’Écriture dans le but d’équiper l’Église afin qu’elle puisse être en mesure de défendre fermement la vérité, même lorsque d’autres l’abandonnent. Ce n’est que lorsque le peuple de Dieu reconnaîtra la Bible pour ce qu’elle est—la Parole infaillible de Dieu et la source ultime d’autorité—qu’il sera en mesure d’accomplir son appel et de transmettre au monde entier la bonne nouvelle du salut de Dieu.

Les chrétiens peuvent facilement avoir l’impression que Jésus est perpétuellement déçu et frustré par leur marche chrétienne, voire qu’il est même sur le point de les abandonner. Ils savent ce que Jésus a fait pour eux, mais ils ont souvent une connaissance superficielle de sa personne. Quels sont les sentiments qui l’animent lorsqu’il considère les péchés et les échecs de son peuple ? Dans Matthieu 11, Jésus se décrit comme étant « doux et humble de cœur », désirant ardemment que son peuple trouve le repos en lui.

Êtes-vous venus au Seigneur en pensant que tous vos problèmes seraient réglés? Vous ne vous êtes pas trompés, mais il faudra toutefois attendre la résurrection finale avant que tout soit parfait. Certaines circonstances peuvent amener les chrétiens dans la confusion et les ténèbres. Dans ce livre, Pascal Denault répond à plusieurs questions que nous nous posons au sujet de la marche chrétienne et se penche sur plusieurs souffrances spécifiques de l’âme qui minent notre relation avec Dieu, telles que le doute, la dépression et l’emprise du péché.
