Lizzie's Carefree Years: The Buggy Spoke Series, Book 3 (Buggy Spoke Series)
by Linda BylerBestselling Amish novelist Linda Byler’s third book in the Buggy Spoke series for young readersLizzie is nine years old now and adjusting her new home in Jefferson County. There’s so much to get used to—a new school, new friends, new ways of dressing and speaking. Mostly Lizzie loves her new life, but it’s not easy getting used to so many changes at once. Perhaps the hardest part is growing up itself. Suddenly her older sister Emma expects Lizzie to “act her age,” but what does that even mean? Is it wrong to want to splash in slush puddles, play games with friends, and run through the woods? Lizzie wants to be a good girl, but it’s confusing to know when it’s ok to have fun, how she should pray, and why she still does naughty things. Mam and Dat seem to have enough money now—there’s plenty of food and the kids even get extra special Christmas gifts. Mam smiles more and Dat seems more relaxed. But when Lizzie and Emma wake up to a room full of smoke, they realize danger can strike even when things feel the most secure. Will their new community come to their aid after the fire? And why does God allow such scary things to happen? This is the third book in the Buggy Spoke series, which follows Lizzie through her tumultuous teenage years as she struggles to mesh her hot temper and willful ways with her Amish faith. These books are the prequels to Linda Byler’s bestselling Lizzie Searches for Love Trilogy and are geared to a younger audience (ages 8–10). Reminiscent of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series, these books are delightful accounts of another way of life; each chapter is filled with vivid descriptions of Amish food, farms, and traditions. The series explores themes of respecting parents, not fitting in, sibling rivalry, recognizing your own shortcomings and gifts, and reconciling a strong personality with an abiding faith.

Lo eterno sin disimulo
by C. S. LewisLo eterno sin disimulo, es una recopilación de nueve ensayos y varias cartas anteriormente publicados en los que Lewis hace un despliegue de su capacidad para razonar con rigor y escribir con lucidez sobre el cristianismo.Hablar de lo eterno, sin caretas, sin disimulos, sin trampas, esa es la tarea a la que se entrega Lewis en este libro sustancioso. Y para ello utiliza muy distintos medios: una conferencia docta, un coloquio, un debate, una conversación entre amigos, un artículo de prensa, una carta...Toda ocasión es buena para dar testimonio de la fe y la verdad intemporal, "para mostrar a todos una noticia inaudita de plenitudes", con un afán apostólico que nos interpela. Y Lewis lo aborda con su proverbial claridad, lucidez y agudeza.Timeless at HeartTimeless at Heart, is a compilation of nine essays and several letters previously published in which Lewis displays his ability to reason rigorously and write lucidly about Christianity.Talking about the eternal, without masks, without dissimulation, without traps, that is the task to which Lewis gives himself in this substantial book. And for this he uses very different means: a learned conference, a colloquium, a debate, a conversation between friends, a press article, a letter...Every occasion is a good one to bear witness to the faith and the timeless truth, "to show everyone unprecedented news of fullness", with an apostolic eagerness that challenges us. And Lewis approaches it with his proverbial clarity, lucidity, and sharpness.

by Max Lucado¿Estamos viviendo el final de los tiempos? Si es así, ¿qué significa eso para mí? La guía optimista, accesible y no sensacionalista de Max Lucado sobre lo que dice la Biblia acerca de la línea temporal del cielo capacitará a los lectores para afrontar el futuro con fe.Siete años de caos llamados la Tribulación. Un Anticristo cruel y astuto. La temida batalla de Armagedón. Estas imágenes e ideas asociadas a la profecía pueden ser estimulantes, pero también innecesariamente aterradoras. Max Lucado cree que Dios quiere que estemos preparados, no asustados. En su primer libro que explora el final de esta era, Max ofrece una visión sabia, bien documentada y tranquilizadora de lo que la Palabra de Dios tiene que decir sobre un tema que a menudo crea confusión y ansiedad.Max explora cuatro grandes ideas que proporcionarán una base sólida para comprender los planes de Dios y nos recordarán que nos dirigimos a un lugar mucho mejor que aquel en el que empezamos. Explica quefuimos creados para reinar con Cristo;Dios ha hecho y cumplirá sus promesasel cielo tiene un calendario; ya los hijos de Dios les espera una era dorada, el milenio.En un mundo lleno de tensiones políticas, pruebas personales y turbulencias internacionales, nos sentimos atraídos por explorar qué ocurre a continuación en la línea temporal del cielo. Tanto si los lectores se encuentran en el bando de «no puedo esperar», «estoy casi preparado» o «no estoy seguro de todo esto», se sentirán animados a reflexionar sobre los planes y promesas de Dios para el futuro. Con el característico estilo alentador de Max, nos recuerda: «Todo es cuestión de esperanza. Todo gira en torno a Él».What Happens NextAre we living in the end times? If so, what does that mean for me? Max Lucado's optimistic, accessible, and non-sensational guide to what the Bible says about heaven's timeline will empower readers to face the future with faith.Seven years of chaos called the Tribulation. A cruel and cunning Antichrist. The dreaded battle of Armageddon. These images and ideas associated with prophecy can be stimulating but also unnecessarily scary. Max Lucado believes God wants us to be prepared, not scared. In his first book exploring the end of this age, Max provides a wise, well-researched, and reassuring overview of what God's Word has to say on a topic that often creates confusion and anxiety.Max explores four big ideas that will provide a solid foundation for understanding God's plans and will remind us that we are headed to a far better place than where we started. He explains thatwe were made to reign with Christ; God has made and will keep his promises; heaven has a timeline; and a golden era, the millennium, awaits God's children. In a world filled with political tension, personal trials, and international turbulence, we find ourselves drawn to exploring what happens next on heaven's timeline. Whether readers find themselves in the "I can't wait," "I'm almost ready," or "I'm not sure about all of this" camp, they will be encouraged to ponder God's plans and promises for the future. In Max's signature encouraging style, he reminds us, "It's all about hope. It's all about him."

Solemos asociar la tecnología a los últimos gadgets electrónicos que, para bien o para mal, han colonizado nuestro día a día. Uno de los mayores horrores de la vida contemporánea es quedarse sin batería o sin conexión, como si nos perdiéramos en una dimensión desconocida de la realidad, lejos del mundo y de nuestros congéneres. Pero la tecnología es una cosa mucho más amplia. Y mucho más antigua.Un día muy lejano, hace decenas de miles de años, un homínido cualquiera chocó una piedra contra otra y creó un cuchillo de sílex. Con aquel primate comienza este viaje: el de la historia de la tecnología en los albores de nuestra especie. Y sin necesidad de wifi ni de un enchufe. Desde entonces, la humanidad ha recorrido un apasionante camino, desde la invención del plástico hasta la exploración espacial, que juntos vamos a conocer a través de los descubrimientos tecnológicos que modificaron el rumbo de la historia.David Calle es licenciado en ingeniería de sistemas de telecomunicación. Tiene un canal de YouTube, Unicoos, donde enseña matemáticas y ciencias, que se ha convertido en uno de los canales educativos más importantes del mundo con casi un millón y medio de suscriptores.

Lob der Vorlesung: Vorschläge zur Verständigung über Form, Funktion und Ziele universitärer Lehre (Doing Higher Education)
by Rudolf Egger Balthasar EugsterDas Buch klärt, wie eine hochschul- und wissenschaftsdidaktisch schlüssige Verbindung von Lehren und Lernen, Lehr- und Lernhandlungen aussehen sollte, und welche Rolle die Vorlesung in ihren verschiedenen Ausprägungen hierbei spielen kann. Die aufeinander abgestimmten Beiträge versuchen dabei – in einer dezidierten Gegenbewegung zu technokratischen, aktivistischen und postulatorischen Ansätzen der Hochschuldidaktik – die derzeit dominierenden Spannungsverhältnisse in diesem Bereich aufzugreifen, zu untersuchen und begrifflich wie empirisch gehaltvoll auszuleuchten. Es wird der Blick daraufhin geschärft, wie im Format „Vorlesung“ das Lehren einen zentralen Stellenwert erhält und in seiner Beziehung zum Lernen akzentuiert werden kann, ohne die Parolen eines „shift from teaching to learning“ unhinterfragt aufzunehmen.
