Fe De Barack Obama – (Spanish)
$14.99
Discover the unapologetically Christian and liberal Barack Obama-and how he represents the changing face of religion in American politics.
You’d have to live in a cave to have avoided hearing about Barack Obama’s woes as he deals with the crises arising from the close mentor relationship he had with the senior pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ, Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. How, people ask, could Sen. Obama represent as president people of all races, when he attended for 20 years a church permeated by a defining, if understandable, spirit of anger toward white America? There is, however, much more to the senator’s faith than this one issue. As early as 1994, as he delivered a powerful speech to the Democratic National Convention in Boston, he was taking a stand for his faith: “We worship an awesome God in the Blue States… Those of us on the political Left who believe in a woman’s right to choose an abortion and who defend the rights of our gay friends and who care for the poor and who trust that big government can be a tool of righteousness-we also love God… No longer will we be painted as the non-believers” In The Faith of Barack Obama, Stephen Mansfield explores Obama’s religious faith without political or ideological bias. Because if a man’s faith is sincere, it is the most important thing about him, and it is impossible to understand who he is and how he will lead without first understanding the religious vision that informs his life.
Descubra al Barack Obama que es cristiano y liberal sin ningun reparo en admitirlo -y como el representa el rostro cambiante de la religion en la politica estadounidense.
Barack Obama enfrento ciertas tribulaciones mientras trataba con la crisis causada por su ex pastor, el doctor Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. ?Como pudo el senador Obama asistir durante 20 anos a una iglesia impregnada por un definitivo (aunque comprensible) espiritu de ira hacia los blancos de Estados Unidos? Hay, sin embargo, cosas mucho mas importantes en la fe del senador que tan solo este tema. En La fe de Barack Obama, Stephen Mansfield explora la fe religiosa de Obama sin inclinaciones politicas o ideologicas. Su premisa basica es esta:ASi la fe de un hombre es sincera, entonces es el factor que mas lo define. En consecuencia, es imposible entender como dirigira Barack Obama sin primero entender la vision religiosa que informa su vida.

Amazing Grace : The Life Of John Newton And The Surprising Story Behind His
$28.99Amazing Grace, a biography that reads like a novel, reveals John Newton’s dramatic, and at times traumatic, story of sin and salvation and ultimate conviction to speak out against slavery. His story speaks to the brokenness within us all and our need for God’s amazing grace.Amazing Grace is a rags-to-riches story that charts the many ways a young man squanders opportunities and experiences misery and poverty, only to unexpectedly rise to a level of respectability and privilege. This dramatic retelling of his life story, which reads like a novel, is a tale of romance, in which young love sparks wild and impulsive actions, only to be followed by years of seemingly hopeless longing, before eventually being crowned by a long and happy marriage. Lastly, it is a story of grace of a youth who rejects God repeatedly, loses himself in a downward spiral of unbelief and immoral behavior, only to be rescued by divine mercy that reaches deeper than he could ever have imagined.
Newton’s story is shocking, and Amazing Grace does not try to airbrush or excuse his faults. There are glaring contradictions in the life of a ship’s Captain who retreats to his cabin to study his Bible and write tender love letters to his wife while hundreds of slaves lie in chains in the hold below. But the profound lessons from his life are applicable to us today, helping us to:
*Struggle well when life doesn’t match up to expectations.
*Be honest and open about our stories that are shameful or just too hard to resolve.
*Understand that God’s work in our lives is ongoing.
*Seek a deeper, more personal faith, awakening to the gospel message and the Holy Spirit’s guidance.Since John Newton’s death, every generation has found a way of connecting with his story. Today is no different, for in these days of extreme polarization when beliefs about race, church, and politics have all become deeply divisive in society, we need grace more than ever. We need stories that talk about the human condition, stories that are soaked in the relentless love of God and his forgiveness of sins.
