The Way of the Father: Lessons from My Dad, Truths about God
by Michael W. SmithGrammy Award winner Michael W. Smith&’s The Way of the Father offers a deeply personal reflection on his father Paul Smith&’s legacy and its profound effect on every area of his life. Through the life and lens of his earthly dad, the multi-platinum selling Christian artist gives glimpses of a Father in Heaven that anyone can approach and experience. Michael W. Smith, multi-platinum artist, celebrated songwriter, producer, best-selling author, and acclaimed actor, himself a father of five adult children and grandfather of sixteen, calls upon his humble experiences of growing up in a small West Virginia town to share his father&’s story. Each chapter identifies a quality and characteristic of his dad that came out of an obedient and sacrificial life, committed to serving his Abba Father, including: - Finding truth in tragedy - Loving unconditionally - Persevering through pain - Bringing righteousness to the world - Influencing and inspiring generations - Discovering identity and approval in Christ Paul Smith was a familiar face in the crowd at Michael W. Smith&’s concerts over the years. A kind and joyful man who would sing, dance, and worship to the singer&’s countless number one hits, with his countenance beaming brighter than the spotlights on the stage, Paul would often introduce himself to those nearby and talk about how proud he was of his son. From the artist&’s early days as a struggling musician in Nashville to his death in 2015 (the year his son&’s album sales surpassed 15 million), Paul was always Michael&’s biggest fan. Michael shares how his dad inspired and encouraged him using biblical principles and virtues. Now, Michael passes on these same truths through stories, testimonies, origins of songs, and personal insights from his family life and thirty-five plus years of touring as a Christian artist. He hopes that by sharing his father&’s legacy, readers will come to find that no matter who our earthly parents have been in our lives, our Abba Father will never fail us. The Way of the Father will likewise challenge readers in their faith journeys so they will one day hear, &“Well done, good and faithful servant. You have fought the good fight, run the race, and have been found faithful&”—just like Paul Smith heard on the day he was called home to be with his Father.

Their SkitGuys.com website has grown into a treasured media resource for families, pastors and churches. Their numerous short films, skits, and scripts are used to reach families all over the world. When The Skit Guys aren't performing or shooting new short films, both Tommy and Eddie serve in their local churches, enjoy good food (especially pizza and fries!), and love life with their families.
The Jesus Music: A Visual Story of Redemption as Told by Those Who Lived It
by Marshall TerrillA written and visual complement to the documentary film of the same name, The Jesus Music brings the history of a movement to life. Featuring Contemporary Christian Music artists across five decades, readers will experience the story that has united and changed the lives of people around the world. The Jesus Music: A Visual Story of Redemption as Told by Those Who Lived It shares that story: people creating something they wanted, something that never existed before. Written by music and film historian Marshall Terrill, the book accompanies a documentary film by award-winning directors Jon and Andy Erwin; this written and visual narrative of the genre features historic concerts and candid behind-the-scenes photographs throughout. The Jesus Music explores the history, evolution, and redemptive thread of Contemporary Christian music over the last fifty years as it spans the convergence of rock and roll, country, and gospel music. As CCM grows, readers will see California artists as much a part of hippie culture as Christian culture, religious-focused bands and songs denounced by some church leaders of the day, and best-selling artists who rose, and sometimes fell from fame, as they journey through the music and experience the often delicate balances between faith, fame, mission, and humanity as they relate to Christian music. The notable voices of Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Kirk Franklin, and TobyMac, as well as the stories of dozens of additional Christian artists, will hit all the right notes and explore: - The roots of the movement, spanning from Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash to Switchfoot, Chris Tomlin, Hillsong United, and beyond. - The stories of pioneers in the genre, including Larry Norman, Lovesong, and Stryper - Insights into how history, culture, and technology shaped the Contemporary Christian music we hear on the radio today. - Examples of God&’s steadfast love as He uses artists despite their human mistakes and shortcomings. - How the message of the music transforms lives and has impact beyond artistic expression. The Jesus Music is perfect for anyone looking to explore the history of the genre and discover how God can use us despite our flaws to impact the world.

It&’s been hard to go to that place, but I love the results when I do. For the first time, with inhale (exhale) it was more about other people&’s stories than mine. I was writing out of something that I witnessed more than I experienced myself.&” This devotional helps readers to reflect on themes like: - Letting go of the past - Allowing God to teach you how to love yourself - Believing that when we are broken, hope is never far behind - Wrestling honestly in the battle between faith and doubt - Trusting Jesus through the chaos in this crazy world Readers will be challenged and encouraged on this 40-day journey with MercyMe as they meet with God, accepting His invitation to breathe in grace and live out hope.

Dark History of Penn's Woods: Murder, Madness, and Misadventure in Southeastern Pennsylvania
by Jennifer L. Green<p>“Dark History of Penn’s Woods is the perfect book to keep you up all night… It’s ghostly, it’s ghastly, and we guarantee some of the included photos will stay with you!” — Philly Mag<p> <p>When ships under the command of white Europeans first sailed into the Delaware Bay in 1609, southeastern Pennsylvania's documented history of the strange and unusual began. This book tackles seven true "dark histories" from Chester and Delaware counties, which include tales of murder, witchcraft, cannibalism, tragic accidents and macabre events that actually happened in the Greater Philadelphia region. All stories are meticulously researched and placed within the greater context of Pennsylvania and world history. For example, the murder of three children by an indentured servant is placed within the context the kidnapping of children into servitude in England for sale to the Americas. The trial and execution of a woman for killing her infants is placed within the context of the rights of women in early America and how the court system failed them. The treatment of witchcraft is placed within the larger relationship of Quakers with the supernatural in Pennsylvania. This is not a book of ghost stories; this is an exploration of the real events that led people to believe in ghosts. It aims to strike a balance between a colloquial work that is accessible by a variety of readers, and an solid academic work.<p>

The Scandal of Leadership: Unmasking the Powers of Domination in the Church
by Jr WoodwardThe fall of high-profile leaders has sadly become an epidemic, and although books and podcasts have sought to uncover the problem, they often fail to identify the root cause. In The Scandal of Leadership, JR Woodward offers a deeper diagnosis, outlining a more comprehensive understanding of power abuses in the church and the critical role of imitation. Drawing from Scripture and the scholarship of Walter Wink, René Girard, and William Stringfellow, as well as from positive examples of leaders such as Óscar Romero, this book offers a robust theology of the Powers--of Satan, the demonic, and the principalities and powers explored in the Bible. By unmasking the Powers of domination, Woodward seeks to help missional leaders practice a self-emptying spirituality that reshapes their desires and forms them into Christlike servants who join God's mission in the world.

Puntapié Inicial: El Comienzo Del Juego Más Importante De Tu Vida
by Daniel Dardano Daniel Cipolla Hernán CipollaSiempre existe una gran expectativa entre los aficionados a un deporte cuando asisten a ver un juego. El estadio vibra de emoción con los espectadores apasionados por ver a su equipo favorito. Cuando se da el puntapié inicial, ellos gritan, saltan y aplauden para alentar al equipo. Muchas veces se enojan, insultan y hasta lloran, por ver que las cosas no salen como esperaban. Pero esto es todo lo que los espectadores pueden hacer durante un juego.Tal vez la emoción de los jugadores sea similar a la de los aficionados, pero la gran diferencia es que los jugadores tienen la responsabilidad del resultado que logre su equipo. No es lo mismo ser espectador que participar en el juego, ¿verdad?Nadie puede ser espectador de su propia vida. Lo quiera o no, cada ser humano es el &“jugador oficial&” de su vida, y es responsable de dar el puntapié inicial a asuntos que son mucho más trascendentes que la práctica de un deporte.

Equipamiento para todos – Nivel 1 Solidez: Serie de enseñanza y entrenamiento
by Daniel DardanoCuando un creyente se dispone a estudiar la Biblia, suele recurrir a comentarios bíblicos, con la finalidad de comprender adecuadamente las verdades divinas. Esta serie de enseñanza y entrenamiento, aunque podría ser considerada como de estudio bíblico, no es exactamente eso.Equipamiento para todos tiene el objetivo de que cada creyente sea transformado por la vida de Cristo que habita en él.Éste es el primer libro de la serie de enseñanza y entrenamiento, el cual contribuye a la solidez de los creyentes a través de temas como:Un discípulo según JesucristoExpresiones de una vida superiorLo consagrado al SeñorQuién es el mayor según JesúsEl estudio de los escritos bíblicos siempre ha sido importante para la Iglesia. De hecho, desde sus comienzos los creyentes perseveraron en aprender las Escrituras con diligencia y dedicación. Además, el Nuevo Testamento refleja la constante labor de los apóstoles, quienes se ocuparon de que las futuras generaciones recibieran un legado doctrinal caracterizado por la solidez.El conocimiento intelectual de las verdades de Dios nunca será suficiente y no debe ser la meta del creyente. El objetivo del Señor es que cada uno de sus hijos experimente y viva en plenitud lo revelado en la Palabra. Cuando esto ocurre, los demás pueden comprobar que esas verdades son efectivas en la vida diaria.Este libro es un recurso valioso y los principios desarrollados en su contenido tienen el poder de transformar tu vida. Equipping for Everyone – Level 1 Solidity When a believer sets out to study the Bible, he or she often turns to a Bible commentary or a theology manual. However, even if it seems that this series of teachings is just that, it is not so. Equipping for Everyone is designed to help each believer to be transformed by the life of Christ that dwells within them. This is the first book in a series of teachings that seeks to strengthen the believer through topics such as:A disciple according to Jesus ChristSigns of a superior lifeWhat is consecrated to the LordWho is the greatest according to JesusThe study of the biblical text has always been important for the Church. In fact, from the Church&’s conception the believers have persevered in studying the Scriptures with diligence and dedication. In addition, the New Testament reflects the constant work of the apostles, who sought to provide for future generations a legacy characterized by its solidity.It will never be sufficient to know the truths of God intellectually, and this should not be a believer's objective in studying the Scriptures. On the contrary, it is the Lord's will that each one of His children experience and live out the fullness of the truths revealed in the Word. When this happens, others will see that these truths have become part of the believer&’s everyday life. This book is a valuable resource, teaching principles that have the power to transform your life.
Equipamiento para todos – Nivel 2 Seguridad: Serie de enseñanza y entrenamiento
by Daniel Dardano Daniel Cipolla Hernán CipollaTodas las palabras tienen un significado que las define. Sin embargo, suelen estar sujetas a la interpretación de las personas. Cuando se las analiza de manera superficial o se las adapta a conceptos contemporáneos y culturales, corren el riesgo de perder su sentido original y su dimensión. Algunos pocos ejemplos lo demuestran. Iglesia es una palabra que se suele usar para referirse a toda clase de sistema religioso que dictamina las reglas de vida que las personas deben seguir. Reino es una palabra que se suele asociar a la grandeza de un monarca, a quien se lo considera casi como el dueño del país al que representa. Autoridad es una palabra que se relaciona con orden y justicia, o abuso y corrupción. El hecho es que estas tres palabras se interpretaron de maneras tan variadas según la época, que muchas veces su significado real se tergiversó.En la actualidad, ¿cómo interpretan los cristianos las palabras iglesia, reino y autoridad? ¿Las comprenden desde un punto de vista cultural, religioso, tradicional o popular? Sin duda, la única manera de percibir estas palabras y lo que ellas representan en la dimensión correcta es verlas como Dios las ve; y los creyentes tienen ese privilegio.Iglesia, Reino y autoridad, son los tres grandes temas tratados en Equipamiento para todos, Nivel 2, Seguridad. Independientemente de los conceptos erróneos que hayan existido, es imprescindible establecer lo que Dios dice acerca de estos temas de tanta relevancia.Este libro presenta una perspectiva espiritual reveladora que elevará tu mirada. Ver la Iglesia, el Reino y la autoridad como el Señor lo hace, traerá seguridad a tu vida.Equipping for Everyone – Level 2 SecurityAll words have a meaning that defines them. However, they are often subject to people's interpretation. When they are superficially analyzed or adapted to contemporary and cultural concepts, they run the risk of losing their original meaning and dimension. A few examples prove it. Church is a word that is often used to refer to all kinds of religious system that dictates the rules of life that people must follow. Kingdom is a word that is usually associated with the greatness of a monarch, who is considered almost as the owner of the country he represents. Authority is a word that relates to order and justice, or abuse and corruption. The fact is that these three words were interpreted in such varied ways according to the time, that many times their real meaning was misrepresented.Today, how do Christians interpret the words church, kingdom, and authority? Do they understand them from a cultural, religious, traditional, or popular point of view? Without a doubt, the only way to perceive these words and what they represent in the correct dimension is to see them as God sees them; and believers have that privilege.Church, Kingdom, and authority are the three main topics covered in Equipment for all, Level 2, Security. Regardless of the misconceptions that may have existed, it is imperative to establish what God says about these important issues.This book presents an eye-opening spiritual perspective that will lift your gaze. Seeing the Church, the Kingdom and authority as the Lord does, will bring security to your life.
Equipamiento para todos – Nivel 3 Fortaleza: Serie de enseñanza y entrenamiento
by Daniel Dardano Daniel Cipolla Hernán CipollaUna persona débil físicamente tiene un mayor riesgo de contraer enfermedades. En cambio, un organismo saludable tiene una fortaleza que refleja su vitalidad interior.De la misma manera, los creyentes en Cristo pueden estar débiles espiritualmente o mostrar una fortaleza interior que los hace altamente resistentes. ¿De dónde nace la fortaleza espiritual? Sin dudas, de la presencia del Espíritu Santo en cada cristiano.En una vida llena del Espíritu no puede prosperar ningún conflicto espiritual, como tampoco el pecado o la influencia del diablo.
