entered the room. I said, “Son, do you want to be healed?”Little Willie said, “Yes sir!”I was too tired to pray, so I just reached out with my forefinger and touched his forehead and prayed a brief prayer in the name of Jesus of Nazareth for God to heal the deformed leg of Willie Phelps. Then I left the building.The next day, Willie couldn’t go to school, because he had built-up shoe wouldn’t fit him. God had lengthened his leg two and one-half inches overnight. His mother took him to town and brought a normal pair of shoes, and for the first time in four years he walked without his crutches and without a limp.Willie arrived at school late that morning and when he walked in on normal shoes without his crutches, he almost broke up the school. He told his class what the Lord had done for him, and the teacher put her head down on the desk and cried like a baby….So Oral Roberts tells in his never-to-be-forgotten style the story of God’s mighty works in Deliverance From Fear and From Sickness.To God the Glory

By Édouard Louis. 2015
Una rebelión contra el mundo, contra su familia y contra la sociedad. «Excepcional.»Livres Hebdo Salí corriendo de repente. Sólo me…
dio tiempo a oír a mi madre, que decía Pero ¿qué hace ese idiota? No quería estar con ellos, me negaba a compartir con ellos ese momento. Yo estaba ya lejos, había dejado de pertenecer a su mundo, la carta lo decía. Salí al campo y estuve andando gran parte de la noche: el ambiente fresco del norte, los caminos de tierra, el olor de la colza, muy intenso en esa época del año. Dediqué toda la noche a elaborar mi nueva vida, lejos de allí. «La verdad es que la rebelión contra mis padres, contra la pobreza, contra mi clase social, su racismo, su violencia, sus atavismos, fue algo secundario. Porque, antes de que me alzara contra el mundo de mi infancia, el mundo de mi infancia se había alzado contra mí. Para mi familia y los demás, me había convertido en una fuente de vergüenza, incluso de repulsión. No tuve otra opción que la huida. Este libro es un intento de comprenderla.»Édouard Louis La crítica ha dicho...«Un lenguaje contenido y a la vez brutal, sin victimismos ni exaltaciones líricas [...]. A su escritura clásica, el autor opone la lengua de su entorno, que mezcla jerga local y sintaxis rota. Efectivamente, la violencia social se ejerce con el lenguaje.»Les Inrockuptibles «Magnífico [...]. Es el anuncio de una liberación y de un renacimiento a través de las palabras para escapar de la fatalidad del determinismo social.»Le Point «Tejer un texto uniendo dos registros lingüísticos tan opuestos es más que una proeza. El éxito literario es innegable.»Le Nouvel Observateur «Una narración asombrosa, a causa de la historia personal del autor, pero también de su talento.»Madame Figaro «Excepcional. Un cóctel de Zola y Dickens. Dura, a veces casi insoportable, pero también tragicómica, en cierta medida distante, pero en absoluto maniquea.»Livres Hebdo «Es el grito de cólera de un joven que expresa su asco frente al mito tenaz que convierte al proletariado en una bestia valiente, de buen corazón y amante de la vida.»Catherine Simon, Le Monde des Livres «La escritura de Édouard Louis, con su obstinación en hablar de la vergüenza, demuestra que su libro, que cae como un mazo sobre personas concretas, revela un escándalo universal de primera magnitud.»Jean Birnbaum, Le Monde des LivresNW London: Roman
By Zadie Smith. 2013
Una novela magistral e íntima de la vida moderna de Londres. Los protagonistas de la historia, Leah, Natalie, Felix y…
Nathan, crecieron entre edificios de protección oficial y, ahora en la treintena, la ambición y el azar los han llevado a alcanzar posiciones sociales muy distintas. Los encuentros y desencuentros entre ellos ponen de manifiesto sus diferencias raciales, la validez del ascenso social, su actitud ante cuestiones de fondo como la maternidad, la amistad, la lealtad. Al tiempo que va desvelando los secretos de sus personajes, Zadie Smith ofrece al lector un recorrido por una zona de Londres tan cautivadora como violenta, donde las animosas avenidas enmarcan lóbregas callejas y errar el camino puede conducir a un callejón sin salida. Así pues, el incesante flujo de personas de todo tipo y color, individuos obligados a reinventarse día a día, año tras año, conforman un auténtico laboratorio de prueba de la sociedad mixta y universal que el futuro nos depara. Finalista del Premio Orange y del National Book Critics Circle Award, esta última novela de Zadie Smith viene a confirmar su sólida posición entre los autores más destacados del panorama narrativo en lengua inglesa. Dueña de una brillante combinación de sentido del humor, inteligencia y empatía, y de una especial sensibilidad para captar las facetas más peculiares de la naturaleza humana, Zadie vuelca como nadie la diversidad de voces, rostros y emociones de los habitantes del noroeste de Londres, barrio donde se crio y uno de los enclaves urbanos con mayor índice de multiculturalidad no sólo de Inglaterra, sino del mundo. Reseñas:«Esta novela es un compañero inesperado e irónico de Dientes blancos: un retrato más sombrío y matizado de la cultura multirracial.»Joyce Carol Oates «La brillante escritora Zadie Smith es la sucesora legítima de Dickens.»The Independent «Una novela excepcional, desternillante y, a veces, algo macabra. NW London es una declaración de amor, lírica y muy cómica, a la zona noroeste de Londres. Al igual que Dickens, Zadie Smith posee un don para los diálogos y para combinar la indignación social con el humor que le permite crear intensas obras literarias.»The Sunday Telegraph «Una soberbia novela, vital y airada.»The Telegraph «Una novela de amplio espectro, compleja, sobre las fuerzas que envenenan nuestros sueños de promoción económica [...]. Brillante [...], una radiografía del Londres contemporáneo.»The Washington PostLiving Victoriously in Difficult Times (40-Minute Bible Studies)
By Kay Arthur, Bob Vereen, Diane Vereen. 2004
When painful or frustrating circumstances invade your life, it's easy to wonder why. Why does life so often seem unfair?…
Why doesn't our all-powerful God stop the pain and suffering-not just for you-but for all His children The truth is, we live in a fallen world filled with fallen people, and we cannot escape hardship and pain. Somehow difficult times are a part of God's plan and they serve His purposes. In this six week study you'll examine what the Bible says about suffering and why God allows it. Through the stories of many who persevered through times of testing, you'll discover how to find joy even when life seems unfair. You'll learn how to handle loss while glorifying God in the midst of your pain. And you'll find the peace that comes from trusting in the One whose strength is made perfect in your weakness.From the Trade Paperback edition.Beyond Christian Hip Hop: A Move Towards Christians and Hip Hop (Routledge Studies in Hip Hop and Religion)
By Erika D. Gault, Travis Harris. 2020
Christians and Christianity have been central to Hip Hop since its inception. This book explores the intersection of Christians and…
Hip Hop and the multiple outcomes of this intersection. It lays out the ways in which Christians and Hip Hop overlap and diverge. The intersection of Christians and Hip Hop brings together African diasporic cultures, lives, memories and worldviews. Moving beyond the focus on rappers and so-called "Christian Hip Hop," each chapter explores three major themes of the book: identifying Hip Hop, irreconcilable Christianity, and boundaries.There is a self-identified Christian Hip Hop (CHH) community that has received some scholarly attention. At the same time, scholars have analyzed Christianity and Hip Hop without focusing on the self-identified community. This book brings these various conversations together and show, through these three themes, the complexities of the intersection of Christians and Hip Hop. Hip Hop is more than rap music, it is an African diasporic phenomenon. These three themes elucidate the many characteristics of the intersection between Christians and Hip Hop and our reasoning for going beyond "Christian Hip Hop." This collection is a multi-faceted view of how religious belief plays a role in Hip Hoppas' lives and community. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of Religion and Hip Hop, Hip Hop, African Diasporas, Religion and the Arts, Religion and Race and Black Theology as well as Religious Studies more generally.Organic Mentoring: A Mentor's Guide to Relationships with Next Generation Women
By Sue Edwards, Barbara Neumann. 2014
We are experiencing a mentoring crisis today. One key reason is that too many women cling to an outdated formulaic…
idea of what mentoring is all about. When we hear the word “mentoring” we conjure up a picture that fit our experience decades ago. Then we look in the mirror and don’t see an adequate mentor staring back at us. Our preconceived ideas about what today’s young women want in a mentor convince us we are not qualified to be mentors—but we are wrong. What we don’t realize is that younger women today are far more likely to want a relationship with that woman in the mirror than the conjured-up perfect mentor in our head.Organic Mentoring explores foundational issues that explain why beloved but outdated mentoring methods are no longer effective. The book looks at the cultural changes and fast-paced digital advancements that shape young thought and behavior but weaken the link between generations. It walks through the new values, preferences, ideas, and problems of the next generation and how these issues impact mentoring. Then the authors guide the reader through landmines to avoid and approaches that work today.The Works of His Hands: A Scientist’s Journey from Atheism to Faith
By Sy Garte. 2019
Raised in a militant atheist family, Sy Garte fell in love with the factual world of science. He became a…
respected research biochemist with an anti-theistic worldview to bolster his work--and he had no intention of seeking a God he didn't believe in. That is, until the very science he loved led him to question the validity of an atheistic worldview.His journey to answer the questions that confronted him drew him into becoming a fully committed Christian, determined to show others the truth: modern science doesn't contradict God at all but instead supports Christianity.In the first half of the book, Sy begins with how his experiences and quest for knowledge as a student and early in his career brought him to question his materialist assumptions. He goes on to reveal how lessons from physics, biology, and human nature--all presented for lay readers to easily understand--actually argue for belief in God. In the second half of the book, Sy looks at the arguments often presented against God in academic and scientific settings and explains the false foundations on which they rest.For those who have been told that the realities of science call for a rejection of God--but can't quite get rid of the feeling that this shouldn't be true--The Works of His Hands is an ideal reminder that the two don't have to be bitter enemies. Instead, this transformative book shares the beauty of the marriage between science and faith--and how, together, they can bring even the most unlikely to salvation.Friend of Science, Friend of Faith: Listening to God in His Works and Word
By Gregg Davidson. 2019
A scientist explores the harmony between Christian faith and scienceThough some Christians and many skeptics see science and Christianity as…
locked in a never-ending battle, geologist Gregg Davidson contends that there is tremendous harmony between Scripture and modern science. Many apparent conflicts arise when the Bible is interpreted apart from its literary and historical contexts, but when these are taken into account, most alleged clashes resolve.Proceeding from a belief that Scripture is inspired and without error and that God's creation should inform how we interpret the Bible, Davidson shows that Scripture and science need not disagree on issues like the age of the earth, Adam and Eve, Noah's flood, the origin and development of life, and numerous related topics. Rather, Christians can rejoice at how God's glory is revealed in both the Bible and the natural world.Anti-Aging Hacks: 200+ Ways to Feel--and Look--Younger (Hacks)

By Elina Vuola, Helena Kupari. 2020
The Orthodox Christian tradition has all too often been sidelined in conversations around contemporary religion. Despite being distinct from Protestantism…
and Catholicism in both theology and practice, it remains an underused setting for academic inquiry into current lived religious practice. This collection, therefore, seeks to redress this imbalance by investigating modern manifestations of Orthodox Christianity through an explicitly gender-sensitive gaze. By addressing attitudes to gender in this context, it fills major gaps in the literature on both religion and gender. Starting with the traditional teachings and discourses around gender in the Orthodox Church, the book moves on to demonstrate the diversity of responses to those narratives that can be found among Orthodox populations in Europe and North America. Using case studies from several countries, with both large and small Orthodox populations, contributors use an interdisciplinary approach to address how gender and religion interact in contexts such as, iconography, conversion, social activism and ecumenical relations, among others. From Greece and Russia to Finland and the USA, this volume sheds new light on the myriad ways in which gender is manifested, performed, and engaged within contemporary Orthodoxy. Furthermore, it also demonstrates that employing the analytical lens of gender enables new insights into Orthodox Christianity as a lived tradition. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of both Religious Studies and Gender Studies.Theology is based on God's true and unchanging Word, but does the Bible supply an unwavering foundation for spiritual certainties?…
Perhaps surprisingly, Brush contends that it does not, because, like science, it is a human discipline and subject to our limitations of knowledge, interpretation, and objectivity.In part one, Brush unpacks this contention, showing how Christians both past and present have arrived at conclusions that actually run counter to biblical teaching, and how these interpretive viewpoints have changed over time. In part two, he makes the case that flawed theological positions have resulted in views that needlessly conflict with science, and that these clashes can be resolved with more accurate formulations. Brush evenly evaluates questions including the age of the earth, the origin of life, and the end of time.Christians who wish to better understand the relationship between their faith and science will be encouraged by the great harmony that Brush sees between scientific findings and biblical teaching. As he guides readers into an awareness of the inherent limitations of our knowledge, believers can cultivate greater humility regarding these contested issues.Manipulation: Cutting The Strings Of Control (Hope for the Heart)
