Metafora Del Bosque – (Spanish)
$14.99
La vida es lo suficientemente complicada como para, ademas, perderse en el bosque por no saber usar los elementos que uno lleva en la mochila. Eso es lo que nos pasa con las emociones: tenemos una herramienta potentisima para nuestro viaje, pero no se nos dice como utilizarla, y mas de una vez todos nos hemos perdido en ese bosque que son nuestros sentimientos.
Este libro busca que conozcamos bien el equipaje con el que enfrentamos el trayecto. Porque una vez estemos en el bosque tenemos que caminar para salir. No podemos teletransportarnos. Hay que atravesarlo, y debemos saber como hacerlo.
De todos los instrumentos que podemos llevar encima en una travesia por el bosque, solo la brujula indica el norte. El resto de los dispositivos sirve para otros usos. Insistir, por ejemplo, en que el mercurio del termometro nos dirige al norte solo nos mantendra perdidos, y el tiempo corre en contra. No es cosa pequea el bosque como para tomarlo a la ligera. Las emociones tampoco. Este ejemplo puede parecer muy simple, ya que todo el mundo sabe para que sirve un termometro. !Y nadie podria ser tan tonto como para confundir una cosa con la otra! Sin embargo es sorprendente saber cuan frecuente se da este error en el terreno emocional al confundir las emociones.
Es hora de encontrarnos para aprender a salir, y no tener que desorientarnos otra vez cuando podemos evitarlo. Esta vez las emociones jugaran a nuestro favor.
Life is complicated enough to also get lost in the forest because of not knowing how to use the items one carries in the backpack. That’s what happens with emotions: we have a powerful tool for our journey, but we’re not told how to use it, and more than once, we all have gotten lost in that forest that is our feelings.
This book seeks for us to become familiar with the luggage we face the journey with. Because once we’re in the forest, we have to walk to get out. We can’t teleport. We have to cross it, and we must know how to do it.
Of all the instruments we can carry on a journey through the forest, only the compass points north. The rest of the devices serve for other uses. Insisting, for example, that the mercury in the thermometer points us north will only keep us lost, and time is running out. The forest is not a trivial matter to take lightly. Neither are emotions. This example may seem very simple, since everyone knows what a thermometer is for. And nobody could be so foolish as to confuse one thing with another! However, it is s

Emotionally Healthy Discipleship
$26.99Pastors and church leaders want to see lives changed by the gospel. They work tirelessly to care for people, initiate new programs and ministries, preach new sermon series, and keep up with the latest trends. Sadly, it would seem that much of this effort is not resulting in deeply changed disciples.
Why? Because many churches are unknowingly operating from a shallow discipleship that allows people to recycle the same problems year after year. Church goers are increasingly passive with lives not distinct from the culture. People are not able to integrate anger and sadness. Many are defensive and incapable of revealing their own weaknesses. Church leaders desperately need a better way of teaching people what it means to follow Jesus in a transformative way.
In Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, bestselling author Pete Scazzero combines three decades of wisdom with hard lessons from his own ministry journey. He lays out what is required for church leaders to multiply deeply-changed people who are growing in relationship with God, themselves and others.
Scazzero begins with four beneath-the-surface, systemic gaps that undermine serious discipleship. He provides a clear vision for a church culture that deeply changes lives and then practically unpacks the seven biblical marks of emotionally healthy discipleship:
1. Learn to Be Before You Do
2. Follow the Crucified, Not the Americanized, Jesus
3. Receive the Gift of Limits
4. Befriend Suffering and Loss
5. Break the Power of the Past
6. Practice the Presence of People
7. Lead Out of Brokenness and VulnerabilityFinally, he lays out practical steps for you to create an emotionally healthy discipleship culture that actually has the power to change the world.

Great Dechurching : Who’s Leaving, Why Are They Going, And What Will It Tak
$29.99We are currently experiencing the largest and fastest religious shift in US history. It is greater than the First and Second Great Awakening and every revival in our country combined but in the opposite direction. Yet precious little rigorous study has been done on the broad phenomenon of dechurching in America. Jim Davis and Michael Graham have commissioned the largest and most comprehensive study of dechurching in America by renowned sociologists Dr. Ryan Burge and Dr. Paul Djupe. The Great Dechurching takes the insights gleaned from this study to drill down on how exactly people are dechurching with respect to beliefs, behavior, and belonging.The Great Dechurching gives the church in America its first ever deep dive into the dechurched phenomenon. Readers will learn about the dechurched through a detailed sketch of demographics, size, core concerns, church off-ramps, historical roots, and the gravity of what is at stake. Then they will explore what can be done to slow the bleed, engage the pertinent issues winsomely and wisely, and hopefully re-church some of the dechurched.

Biblical Critical Theory
$39.99It is not enough for Christians to explain the Bible to the culture in which we live. We must also explain the culture in which we live within the framework and categories of the Bible. If we are to meet this challenge, two things are necessary: we must develop a deep grasp of the shape of the biblical story and of how the Bible understands the world, humanity and God, and we must develop a penetrating and nuanced appreciation of the ideas and stories that shape our culture.
Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible’s Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture does just this, setting out a fresh vision for biblical cultural engagement in which faithfulness to Scripture and sensitivity to culture walk hand in hand. This book exposes and evaluates the often-hidden assumptions and concepts that shape our late-modern society, and examines them through the lens of the biblical story running from Genesis to Revelation. With the help of extensive diagrams and practical tools, Biblical Critical Theory shows the reader how the signature patterns of the Bible’s storyline can provide incisive, fresh, and nuanced ways of intervening into today’s debates on everything from science, the arts and politics to dignity, multiculturalism and equality, showing Christians the moves to make and the tools to use in analyzing and engaging with all sorts of cultural artefacts and events.
This is a book for everyone who wants to bring together a white-hot commitment to unpopular scriptural truths with a positive, robust, constructive, and winsome vision for life and society. If Christians want to speak with a fresh, engaging, and dynamic voice in the marketplace of ideas today, we need to mine the unique treasures of the distinctive biblical storyline.
