By Gabriel Agbo, Martha Mauri. 2017
Los sacrificios son poderosos, ¡muy poderosos! El hombre más rico, el más fuerte, los hombres y mujeres más bendecidos, el…
más sabio, el rey más grande, los profetas más poderosos fueron hombres y mujeres de sacrificio. Lo dieron todo, arriesgaron todo por su gente, por la humanidad y por Dios para lograr sus metas y proezas de las que incluso se enorgullece la eternidad. ¿Quiere conocer sus secretos? Pues bien, si quiere ser grande, primero debe convertirse en un hombre o una mujer de sacrificio. Para aquellos que pueden pagar el precio, todo es posible. Los capítulos El poder del sacrificio, Sólo sacrifica lo tuyo, Mi paso por Egipto, Pago el precio, ¡Síganme!, Venimos por ustedes, Te protejo, Prepara la última cena, El poder de salvar, La alabanza, La oración y El ayuno, serán sumamente reveladores. En la Biblia no sólo se habla de los grandes sacrificios de extraordinarios hombres y mujeres y cómo sus acciones los hicieron grandes, sino también de personas como Yonatan 'Yoni' Netanyahu, el joven israelí que dirigió la unidad de comando para rescatar a los rehenes judíos que se encontraban en el avión que fuera secuestrado y desviado al aeropuerto de Entebbe, Uganda en 1976. También vimos a algunos héroes militares, especialmente los de Operaciones Especiales, como los SEAL y la Fuerza Delta. Estos hombres dan lo mejor de sí; constantemente arriesgan todo, incluso su vida, para defender a su gente y a la humanidad. Sacrifican su vida para proteger a otros. Jesús dijo que el sacrificio más grande es que un hombre dé su vida por los demás. ¡Nuestros respetos! Ellos nos enseñan lo que debe ser el sacrificio. Jesús dijo ¿qué sacrificio puede ser mayor que el de un hombre que da su vida por sus amigos? Alabamos su coraje y patriotismo extremo. Aquí aprenderemos sobre los sacrificios de fe, amabilidad, patriotismo, oración, ayuno y alabanza.

Uncovered: The Truth about Honesty and Community
By Rod Tucker. 2014
Greg was homeless. As he walked through the park one day, he was surrounded by people. Good people. Caring people.…
Christian people. People doing ministry. But people totally oblivious to Greg. No one saw him, talked to him, noticed him, or tried to minister to him. The Christians were preoccupied--working hard on the ministry they were putting together--a ministry intended to provide help and healing to the most vulnerable in their city, a ministry designed to reach . . . the homeless! How do Christians, benefactors of the overwhelming grace of an immeasurably generous God, fail so miserably at showing and distributing--of all things--grace? In voice and style evocative of Donald Miller and Scot McKnight, yet with a message all his own, Rod Tucker explores how we Christians have become masters of self-deceptive and fake moral living. Just like Adam and Eve, we don't want anyone to know we are spiritually naked. But covering up around God denies us the freedom of his grace. Until we can be honest with ourselves, honest with God, and honest with others, daily grace will continue to elude us, either as gift received or as gift given. We remain trapped in our Botox spirituality until we come to grips with exactly who we are.A Life That Matters: Five Steps to Making a Difference

By Jessica Lagrone. 2015
Set Apart is a dynamic six-week study of 1 and 2 Kings that examines the holy habits of the prophets…
and kings who were set apart by their close walk with God. Each week we will explore the central story of one of these intriguing men of God and the specific practice each observed, as well as what the Bible teaches about this practice. Each of these characters was trying to follow God while carrying out his calling on earth. As we consider their example, we will discover that even prophets and kings struggled and grew in their faith through spiritual practices, and we will learn how to follow God's unique purposes for us in His Kingdom. The Participant Book contains five daily readings per week, each including Scripture, reflective teaching material with questions and space for recording responses, prayer suggestions, and ideas for practical application.Where does technology belong in the biblical story of redemption?Believers and unbelievers alike are saturated with technology, yet most give…
it little if any thought. Consumers buy and upgrade as fast as they can, largely unaware of technology's subtle yet powerful influence. In a world where technology changes almost daily, many are left to wonder: Should Christians embrace all that is happening? Are there some technologies that we need to avoid? Does the Bible give us any guidance on how to use digital tools and social media?An experienced Web developer and writer on technology and culture, John Dyer answers these questions and more by walking through the story of the Bible and introducing key ideas about how technology and culture interact. Dyer first analyzes the biblical, theological, and philosophical foundations of technology and then studies several examples that show how technology can influence the spiritual life. For youth pastors, college-aged readers, and anyone interested in understanding how technology fits with faith, From the Garden to the City fills a gap for biblically-informed literature in a technological world.Looking for Mary

Survivor contestant and Christian speaker Austin Carty Figuring out who you want to be in life is never easy.

In these funny and moving essays that address questions on faith, goals, and vocation, Carty offers an uplifting message for religious and secular audiences alike. By turns amusing and endearing, Carty's essays explore everything from misguided evangelicals who treat salvation as a cottage industry to the real danger of cheating in school-everyone will think you're brilliant and then you've got a real problem. Whether he is failing miserably at his first real job as a nightclub gofer, explaining how Saved by the Bell has ruined our youth, or struggling to come to terms with the death of a beloved friend, Carty demonstrates how finding the courage to be ourselves is the best way to forge a genuine connection with friends, family, and God. .A Dad-Sized Challenge: Building a Life-Changing Relationship with Your Son

By Ken Wilson. 2009
We are designed to make connections to God through prayer in more ways than we can imagine. Prayer can be…
so much more than a simple conversation. It can be a wordless connection with God, a step beyond the boundary of the separated self. It can be a way to listen to the silence. And it can be learned. We can learn how to pray in ways we never thought possible. It doesn't take more effort; it takes more understanding. Wilson's book shows how the brain is designed by God: To calm itself To relax into love To become increasingly aware of how connected everything is in God To experience a deeper intimacy with our Creator Prayer is something that our brains want to do with a little help. Ken Wilson tells us how. Praise for Mystically Wired: "Smart, savvy, candid, credible, unafraid, self-effacing, and shot through with passionate love of Jesus . . . yes, hands down, this is the best book on prayer that I have ever read. -- Phyllis Tickle, Compiler, The Words of Jesus: A Gospel of the Sayings of Our Lord "I confess, I don't normally like books on prayer, but Mystically Wired is a big exception. While this book is incredibly practical, I was routinely blown away by the intuitive genius of Ken's view and application of prayer. Page after page, thinking I knew what was next, I was surprised with fresh insight and unique perspectives on connecting with God. Being an evangelist, I was excited to realize I could also send this to spiritual friends who don't follow Jesus as a way to introduce him." -- R. York Moore, National Evangelist InterVarsity Christian Fellowship USA "It began the day Jesus' disciples came to him and asked, 'Lord, teach us to pray.' Ever since, Christ-followers have been wanting to learn the ways of prayer. Ken Wilson's Mystically Wired is an extraordinary contribution to that learning tradition. It's a wonderful read that leaves you feeling, 'Yes, this is for me. Yes, I can do this. Yes, it's within reach.'" -- Brian McLaren, Author/Speaker/Activist "I wandered away from religion because religion thought it had all the answers. Pastor Ken Wilson, though, understands that life and faith are really about having the right questions. If you want to pray for favors, put this book down now. If you want the answers, the help here is only partial. But if you're looking for a wide-ranging inquiry, and a path that can bring you closer to the mystery--without the mumbo-jumbo--delve within." -- Carl Safina, Author, Song for the Blue Ocean and The View From Lazy Point "Mystically Wired was a breath of fresh apologetic air for me. I pray and I experience God, and I find fixed hour prayer deeply meaningful, but this book shows that God made us to do such things and our brain is wired to communicate with God." -- Scot McKnight, Karl A. Olsson Professor in Religious Studies, North Park University "In my library there are scores of books on prayer--by legends and modern guides as well. It is not easy to make a genuine contribution to this body of literature. But Ken Wilson has done so. Mystically Wired manages to bring together the best of the sciences and philosophies of mind, brain, and consciousness with deep spirituality and candid personal reflection. While it will happily fit my on my shelf, it fits best in a heart yearning to pray." -- Todd Hunter, Anglican BishopThe Song of Songs: Exploring the Divine Romance
By Charlie Cleverly. 2015
The Song of Songs is redolent with poetic imagery, featuring as it does the love songs of a man and…
a woman as they explore their relationship. Down the centuries it has often been interpreted either as a sexually-charged love story or an entirely metaphorical imagining of the relationship between God and his people. In this deeply-felt book Charlie Cleverly argues that both interpretations are critical to a true understanding of this book that lies right at the heart of the Bible. If our relationships with one another and with God are not both fully in tune with our humanity, in all its richness, and with our spirituality in its highest form, then we will fall short of all we can be in our lives. Drawing on a wide range of sources, literary and theological and across the ages, Charlie Cleverly makes the case for a new, rounded understanding of this important book.
