Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Christianity Today Award of MeritMeditations on Why Life is Worth LivingWe aren't always honest about how difficult normal human life is.For the majority of people, sorrow, despair, anxiety, and mental illness are everyday experiences. While we have made tremendous advancements in therapy and psychiatry, the burden of living still comes down to mundane choices that we each must make--like the daily choice to get out of bed.In these pages, you'll find- Alan Noble's deeply personal yet universally relatable consideration of the unique burden of everyday life, - Insight that offers hope and challenge without minimizing the reality of ordinary suffering, grief, and mental illness, and- Noble's ultimate conclusion that the choice to carry on amid great suffering--to simply get out of bed--is itself a powerful witness to the goodness of life, and of God.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You only live once--if then. Life is short, and it can be as easily wasted as lived to the full. In our harried modern world, how do we make the most of the time we have In these fast and superficial times, Os Guinness calls us to consequential living.

In the Judeo-Christian tradition, time and historyare meaningful, and human beings have agency to live with freedom and consequence in partnership with God. Thus we can seek to serve God's intentions for our generation and discern our call for this moment.Our time on earth has significance. Live rightly, discern the times, and redeem the day.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The power of Pentecost is inseparable from the good news of the Christ who is proclaimed in the Gospels, in accordance with the Scriptures.'Pentecost may well be the most misconstrued day on the church calendar. A long legacy of cessationism has drained Pentecost of much of its significance, and it's largely misunderstood in many Western churches today, if not outright ignored.That's not the case in Emilio Alvarez's tradition, though. In this Fullness of Time volume, the Pentecostal bishop and theologian offers us a rich biblical and theological introduction to the day of Pentecost and sets it in its liturgical context--not only in the Protestant tradition but also in Catholic, Orthodox, and Pentecostal expressions. The result is a rich theological feast and an invitation to find afresh the power of the gospel for all peoples.Each volume in the Fullness of Time series invites readers to engage with the riches of the church year, exploring the traditions, prayers, Scriptures, and rituals of the seasons of the church calendar.…
