The case for miracles: A journalist investigates evidence for the supernatural
By Lee Strobel. 2018
New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel trains his investigative sights on the hot-button question: is it really credible to…
believe God intervenes supernaturally in people's lives today? This provocative book starts with an unlikely interview in which America's foremost skeptic builds a seemingly persuasive case against the miraculous. But then Strobel travels the country to quiz scholars to see whether they can offer solid answers to atheist objections. Along the way, he encounters astounding accounts of healings and other phenomena that simply cannot be explained away by naturalistic causes. The book features the results of exclusive new scientific polling that shows miracle accounts are much more common than people think. What's more, Strobel delves into the most controversial question of all: what about miracles that don't happen? If God can intervene in the world, why doesn't he do it more often to relieve suffering? Many American Christians are embarrassed by the supernatural, not wanting to look odd or extreme to their neighbors. Yet, The Case for Miracles shows not only that the miraculous is possible, but that God still does intervene in our world in awe-inspiring ways. Here's a unique book that examines all sides of this issue and comes away with a passionate defense for God's divine action in lives today. Also available: The Case for Miracles Spanish edition, kids' edition, and student editionThe Peace: A Warrior's Journey
By Romeo Dallaire. 2024
International humanitarian icon and bestselling author General Roméo Dallaire guides readers on a crucial and inspiring journey from past wars…
through post-modern conflict toward a vision of lasting peace.In The Peace, Roméo Dallaire shows us the past, present and future of war through the prism of his own life. Trained in classic warfare during the Cold War era of mutual deterrence, Dallaire in good faith commanded the UN’s peacekeeping mission for Rwanda in 1994, only to see the country abandoned and descend into the hell of genocide. The battered, tortured warrior who emerged from that catastrophe grew determined to help repair the new world disorder—to prevent genocide, abolish the use of child soldiers, and find ways to intervene in, even prevent, conflicts in defence of humanity. And so Dallaire helped advance the doctrines of Responsibility to Protect and the Will to Intervene only to witness those initiatives falter because of the same old power politics, national self-interest and general indifference that had allowed the genocide in Rwanda to unfold unchecked. In his final act, Dallaire has become a warrior working towards a better future in which those old paradigms are rejected and replaced. In The Peace he calls out the elements that undermine true security because they reinforce the dangerous, self-interested belief that "balance" of power and truces are the best we can do. Too often we say we are "at peace" because the bombs are falling elsewhere and we, ourselves, are not under attack. Dallaire shows us a path, instead, to what he calls "the peace," a state where, above all else, humanity values the ties that bind us and the planet together—and acts accordingly. This book is the cri de coeur of a warrior who has been to hell and back and hopes to help guide us to a better place.The pathway to success: Letting god lead you to a life of meaning and purpose
By Joyce Meyer. 2024
Renowned Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer shows readers how to realign their perspective on…
success to conform with God's vision for the kind of life that brings us true purpose and lasting joy. The world tells us that having a good job, owning your own business, money, fame, and influence are all important for a successful life. If we don't have them, we feel like a failure. But even when we achieve them, we still end up unhappy, unfulfilled, or lonely. God wants us to be successful, but His definition of success is not the same as the world's definition. The truth is, God's way of achieving the dreams and desires that truly fulfill us and bring genuine joy to our lives is very different—and that is what we need. In The Pathway to Success , you will discover a deeper understanding of what it means to seek success God's way. Through her practical, relatable insights based on God's Word, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer reveals how to actively pursue the keys to true, lasting success. Full of rich encouragement and timeless wisdom, The Pathway to Success will allow you to refocus your life and fulfill your God-given destiny as you walk out the purpose He's planned for youSaved: A war reporter's mission to make it home
By Benjamin Hall. 2023
"An affecting, singular story...a bracing tale of life on the edge of death." —Kirkus Reviews When veteran war reporter Benjamin…
Hall woke up in Kyiv on the morning of March 14, 2022, he had no idea that, within hours, Russian bombs would nearly end his life. As a journalist for Fox News, Hall had worked in dangerous war zones like Syria and Afghanistan, but with three young daughters at home, life on the edge was supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet when Russia viciously attacked Ukraine in February 2022, Hall quickly volunteered to go. A few weeks later, while on assignment, Hall and his crew were blown up in a Russian strike. With Hall himself gravely injured and stuck in Kyiv, it was unclear if he would make it out alive. This is the story of how he survived—a story that continues to this day. For the first time, Hall shares his experience in full—from his ground-level view of the war to his dramatic rescue to his arduous, and ongoing, recovery. Going inside the events that have permanently transformed him, Hall recalls his time at the front lines of our world's conflicts, exploring how his struggle to step away from war reporting led him back one perilous last time. Featuring nail-biting accounts from the many people across multiple countries who banded together to get him to safety, Hall offers a stunning look at complex teamwork and heartfelt perseverance that turned his life into a mission. Through it all, Hall's spirit has remained undaunted, buoyed by that remarkable corps of people from around the world whose collective determination ensured his survival. Evocative, harrowing, and deeply moving, Saved is a powerful memoir of family and friends, of life and healing, and of how to respond when you are tested in ways you never thought possibleOutspoken: My Fight for Freedom and Human Rights in Afghanistan
By Sima Samar. 2024
The impassioned memoir of Afghanistan's Sima Samar: medical doctor, public official, founder of schools and hospitals, thorn in the side…
of the Taliban, nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, and lifelong advocate for girls and women."I have three strikes against me. I’m a woman, I speak out for women, and I’m Hazara, the most persecuted ethnic group in Afghanistan."Dr. Sima Samar has been fighting for equality and justice for most of her life. Born into a polygamous family, she learned early that girls had inferior status, and she had to agree to an arranged marriage if she wanted to go to university. By the time she was in medical school, she had a son, Ali, and had become a revolutionary. After her husband was disappeared by the pro-Russian regime, she escaped. With her son and medical degree, she took off into the rural areas—by horseback, by donkey, even on foot—to treat people who had never had medical help before.Sima Samar's wide-ranging experiences both in her home country and on the world stage have given her inside access to the dishonesty, the collusion, the corruption, the self-serving leaders, and the hijacking of religion. And as a former Vice President, she knows all the players in this chess game called Afghanistan. With stories that are at times poignant, at times terrifying, inspiring as well as disheartening, Sima provides an unparalleled view of Afghanistan’s past and its present. Despite being in grave personal danger for many years, she has worked tirelessly for the dream she is convinced is an achievable one: justice and full human rights for all the citizens of her country.Dieu, la science, les preuves: l'aube d'une révolution

By Jean Lafrance. 1978
Un moine, fort probablement syrien, vivant tout au début du VIème siècle, emprunte l'identité de l'Athénien Denys l'Aréopagite, un philosophe…
converti par saint Paul. Ce moine est l'auteur d'une œuvre littéraire qui réunit essentiellement quatre traités et dix lettres. Mais son influence sur l'ensemble de la chrétienté est considérable. Elle a littéralement séduit la presque totalité de l'élite européenne pendant plus de mille ans et contribué à façonner l'imaginaire philosophique, scientifique et spirituel de l'Europe et de l'Orient chrétien. C'est une vision grandiose - intellectuellement déroutante - qui se dégage de l'œuvre de Denys l'Aréopagite, une vision où l'on entrevoit l'univers entier transformé par la résurrection du Christ. Pour ce mystérieux penseur, seule la rencontre avec le Christ permet la rencontre avec le véritable moi humain. Cet ouvrage permet de découvrir le mystérieux auteur et d'accéder à quelques-uns des passages les plus représentatifs de sa pensée.Kateri Tekakwitha (Célébrités canadiennes)

Ces deux fortes personnalités très investies dans l’action humanitaire sont également persuadées de l’importance de la prière : "La joie est prière, le signe de notre générosité, de notre désintéressement et de notre union intime et continuelle avec Dieu.". Ils s’interrogent sur les malheurs du monde, parlent de leur foi en Jésus Christ, de l’amour compassionnel qui les lie aux hommes. Un grand moment de foi et d’espérance, un immense effort pour "entraîner ceux qui nous sont confiés à toujours choisir la lumière".L'expérience de Dieu avec Hilaire de Poitiers (L'expérience de Dieu)
By Hilaire. 2003
Théologien latin et Père de l'Eglise, Hilaire voit le jour à Poitiers, vers 315. Devenu évêque, il prit parti très…
tôt dans la lutte contre l'arianisme. Son opposition énergique à un certain nombre d'évêques pro-ariens lui vaudra d'être exilé en Phrygie, où il rédigea son principal ouvrage, Sur la Trinité. De retour à Poitiers vers la fin de 36o, il consacrera les dernières années de sa vie aux affaires de son diocèse et à l'étude de l'Écriture. L'œuvre d'Hilaire constitue un des grands moments de la théologie latine. Ce témoin important des premiers siècles du christianisme nous ramène à l'essentiel de la foi chrétienne : Dieu fait homme pour le salut de l'humanité.Sagesse d'un pauvre (Suspense & Cie)

hier ou aujourd'hui. Dans la collection PRÉSENCE DE SAINT FRANCOIS, des auteurs, français ou étrangers, se proposent de montrer comment le message de François d'Assise est présent aujourd'hui. Dans son développement, la Fraternité qui s'était groupée autour de François tendait à prendre la forme d'un ordre. Lorsque François s'en rendit compte et comprit que son idéal serait peut-être défiguré, il traversa une crise intérieure particulièrement douloureuse. SAGESSE D UN PAUVRE raconte cette crise et comment François surmonta son désarroi lorsque dans sa méditation douloureuse, il prit conscience que "Dieu est" et que cela suffit ! Douze éditions et autant de traductions disent assez combien de lecteurs ont déjà trouvé dans ce petit livre lumière, clarté et paix.La splendeur de la vérité: lettre encyclique Veritatis Splendor, 6 août 1993
