Oracion (Revised) – (Spanish) (Revised)
$19.99
Que es la oracion? Como opera? Y el punto mas importante: Sirve para algo? En teoria, la oracion es el hecho humano esencial, el punto de contacto mas valioso entre nosotros y el Dios del universo. En la practica, la oracion a menudo es frustrante, confusa y llena de misterios. La Oracion Hace alguna diferencia? explora el lugar misterioso donde Dios y el ser humano se encuentran y se relacionan.
Yancey comparte sus inquietudes y plantea preguntas tales como:
* Estara escuchando Dios?
* Por que habria de interesarse Dios en mi?
* Si Dios conoce todas las cosas, que sentido tiene la oracion?
* Por que las respuestas a la oracion parecen ser tan arbitrarias y caprichosas?
* Por que a veces Dios parece estar tan cerca de mi y otras veces tan lejano?
* Como puedo hacer para orar mas?
He descubierto que el proposito mas importante de la oracion tal vez sea dejar que Dios nos ame, dice Yancey. Este libro nos anima a orar a Dios el Padre, que sabe que nos deparara el futuro, que conoce nuestras fibras mas intimas, y que nos invita a consolidar nuestra relacion eterna con el por medio de la oracion.
Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference?
What is prayer? How does it work? And more importantly, does it work? In theory, prayer is the essential human act, a priceless point of contact between us and the God of the universe. In practice, prayer is often frustrating, confusing, and fraught with mystery. La Oracion Hace alguna diferencia? is an exploration of the mysterious intersection where God and humans meet and relate.
Writing as a fellow pilgrim, Yancey explores such questions as:
* Is God listening?
* Why should God care about me?
* If God knows everything, what’s the point of prayer?
* Why do answers to prayer seem so inconsistent and capricious?
* Why does God seem sometimes close and sometimes far away?
* How can I make prayer more satisfying?
“I have found that the most important purpose of prayer may be to let ourselves be loved by God,” says Yancey. La Oracion Hace alguna diferencia? encourages us to pray to God the Father who sees what lies ahead of us, knows what lies within us, and who invites us into an eternal partnership-through prayer. Also available: unabridged audio CD.

Gift Of Thorns
$26.99Today’s follower of Jesus exists at a moment in history when our desires, longings, and wants are being weaponized against us by cultural, spiritual, and relational forces. “Follow your heart” and “You do you” has become our moment’s mantras. The result, for too many, is feeling torn asunder by the raging desires within. What do we do with our desire? What about our unwanted desires? And how do we cultivate desires which bring life and freedom and lead to Christ? The Gift of Thorns, by A. J. Swoboda, addresses these questions and more.
The path forward is anything but easy. It is assumed by too many in the Christian community that desire is in and of itself bad or dangerous and must be crucified for simply existing. Desire is demonic for some. But, for many others–particularly in the secular West–desire must be followed through and through. This side deifies desire. But these two options sidestep the joy in the great challenge of finding God in our desire. There exists an ancient and sacred way that is forged around the life, wisdom, and power of Jesus and his Spirit. In short, what makes a follower of Christ is not whether or not we have desires. Rather, it is what we do with the desires we have.
Near the end of the story of humanity’s rebellion, the theme of “thorns” is introduced. As readers will discover, the thematic repetition of “thorns” pops up over and over throughout the Bible. What are the thorns for? They will be, in the words of God, “for you” (Gen. 3:18). The premise of this book is that a world where we do not get all that we want is, well, the greatest gift ever.

Love Stories Of The Bible Speak Workbook (Workbook)
$18.99DISCOVER GOD’S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE THROUGH LOVE STORIES IN THE BIBLE
The most foundational truth in Scripture is God’s unconditional, unending, unfailing love for His people. Throughout its pages, we find the breadth of love expressed in the forms of friendship, family, romance, marriage, and more. From the first love between Adam and Eve, to the bonding love of Joseph and Mary, to the deep, meaningful friendships like that of David and Jonathan, the Bible takes us on a journey of discovering how God’s unconditional love is expressed.
This workbook based on New York Times bestselling author Shannon Bream’s book, The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, walks you through thirteen biblical lessons on romance, friendship, and faith in various stories across the Bible where you’ll get a front row seat into the many challenges these men and women faced. As you explore these stories of love, you’ll be encouraged to renew your love for others and for God.
You will discover how God’s love is often very different from ours, turning our assumptions about life, relationships, and each other upside down. Each relationship focused on in this workbook displays similar obstacles to the ones we face today. Many encountered difficult conflicts and unspeakable challenges. Yet together they remind us that we are designed to both love and to be loved.
Each lesson includes four components:
REFLECT invites you to read key moments of each relationship in the Bible and see how the stories of characters in Scripture resemble your own experiences.
CONNECT asks you to consider how our Heavenly Father works throughout the Old and New Testaments to show us how he responds to our relational needs and design.
REVEAL provides an opportunity to identify specific ways in which we receive and offer love to others as well as receive and demonstrate love from God.
PRAY asks you to prayerfully consider how the love stories throughout Scripture tie into how God is challenging and growing your relationships today.

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.
