Am I a Jew? Lost Tribes, Lapsed Jews, and One Man's Search for Himself
by Theodore RossWhat makes someone Jewish? Theodore Ross was nine years old when he moved with his mother from New York City to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Once there, his mother decided, for both personal and spiritual reasons, to have her family pretend not to be Jewish. He went to an Episcopal school, where he studied the New Testament, sang in the choir, and even took Communion. Later, as an adult, he wondered: Am I still Jewish? Seeking an answer, Ross traveled around the country and to Israel, visiting a wide variety of Jewish communities. From “Crypto-Jews” in New Mexico and secluded ultra-devout Orthodox towns in upstate New York to a rare Classical Reform congregation in Kansas City, Ross tries to understand himself by experiencing the diversity of Judaism. Quirky and self-aware, introspective and impassioned, Am I a Jew? is a story about the universal struggle to define a relationship (or lack thereof) with religion. .
Am I Enough?: Embracing the Truth About Who You Are
by Grace Elaine ValentineHave you had enough?Young women today are constantly told they are not enough for this world—not pretty enough, not smart enough, not exciting enough, not spiritual enough, and just plain not good enough. The barrage is constant. The consequences are real. The damage often feels permanent.As a young woman herself, Grace Valentine has felt the pressure of trying to survive in a toxic culture, let alone thrive. But she’s had enough. With an engaging combination of honesty and humor, Grace uses her story to confront the lies the world tells us every day—lies such as:You are beautiful because a guy told you so,Love must be earned,You should forget your past,You will never be enough, and more.Am I Enough? is a line in the sand. It’s a declaration that we will never be enough for this world because we were not created for this world. Instead, Grace reminds us that we were created by Someone better for something better. We can choose the One who has chosen us—the One who says: “You are enough for Me, My child. Come as you are.”
Am I Good Enough? Preparing for Life's Final Exam: Preparing for Life's Final Exam (LifeChange Books)
by Andy StanleyI Ask Myself Every Day. Am I Good Enough?" Christians claim that Jesus is the only way to heaven. But how could a good God, who created the entire universe in all its diversity, be so limiting? Is Christianity unfair? Isn't it more fitting to believe that good people from any religious or nonreligious background go to heaven, rather than people from one particular belief system? Maybe not, says Andy Stanley. In this updated edition of the bestselling book, teen readers will find out why Jesus taught that goodness is not even a requirement to enter heaven--and why Christianity is beyond fair. Andy Stanley leads the next generation of young people to a grateful awareness of God's enormous grace and mercy. If only good people go to heaven, would I make the cut? If Christianity is true, why is God so narrow-minded? And why aren't the answers obvious?! They are. Find out why being good enough has nothing to do with heaven's requirements, and why God is, in fact, not fair at all. Story Behind the Book: Andy Stanley has a heart for families and a special place for today's youth. Having served for many years as a youth and young adult pastor at a large church in Atlanta, his greatest goal was to lead a young person to Christ. With the success of his book How Good Is Good Enough and its acceptance as a widely used evangelistic tool, it was a natural step to refine this important question for the youth of today. Andy wanted to write a text that was aimed right at the heart of today's young culture and put a cover on the book that would interest and attract them to it. Today's youth are constantly looking for assurances in a crazy world. They get that assurance by learning that it is not how good you are, but that you are forgiven.
Am I Not Still God?
by Kathy TroccoliWe all can identify with the experience of facing one of life's storms and crying out to God for an answer. However, if we listen closely, we hear Him provide not an answer but rather another question- "Am I Not Still God?" It is perhaps the only question that matters. How you answer it may shape the rest of your life. Using examples from her own experience, Kathy Troccoli shares how God is unconcerned with explaining Himself-instead He is concerned with demonstrating love and developing a holy character in us. She details God as the ultimate shelter in the face of the most violent storms. As these painful trials are allowed into our life He promises we will never suffer in vain.

Amar a la gente que es muy difícil de amar: Transforme su mundo cuando aprende a amar incondicionalmente
by Joyce MeyerEl secreto para amar a la gente que es difícil de amar es amarla de todos modos... Jesús aconseja que &“se amen los unos a los otros. Así como yo los he amado, también ustedes deben amarse los unos a los otros&” (Juan 13:34 NVI). Suena maravilloso, amar a todos como Jesús lo ama a usted. Pero, a menudo, la realidad de vivir de esta manera es más desafiante o puede parecer imposible, porque muchas personas son simplemente difíciles de amar. Probablemente usted sepa esto por experiencia personal. Tal vez sea un compañero de trabajo poco amigable, un vecino entremetido o alguien de su familia o su ex pareja. Y más en estos días, donde las redes sociales y otros medios de internet son fuentes comunes de comunicación hostil. No obstante, Dios quiere ayudarle a amar a los demás como Él lo ama a usted, incluso a quienes son más difíciles de amar. En este libro, Joyce Meyer comparte la sabiduría práctica de la Biblia y sus experiencias personales sobre cómo superar los obstáculos para amar a las personas difíciles. Descubrirá cómo ser un pacificador en circunstancias tensas o incluso volátiles, convertirse en una persona que no se ofende fácilmente, saber cuándo adaptarse a los demás y el secreto para amar como Jesús cuando parece imposible hacerlo. Con la ayuda de Dios, puede convertir las interacciones frustrantes en agradables y traer la paz que apaga el fuego de la contienda cuando estallan las discusiones. No tiene que vivir bajo una nube de intimidación o temor al tratar con personas difíciles, ya sean conocidos o personas cercanas a usted. Cuando aprenda a amar como Jesús, ¡será libre de amar a la gente que es difícil de amar!

Amar y ser amado / To Love and Be Loved
by Jim ToweyDe manos de un consejero de confianza y devoto amigo de la Madre Teresa, tenemos un extraordinario recuento de primera mano de la milagrosa mujer detrás de la santa. Incluye imágenes hasta ahora desconocidas de la Madre Teresa. La Madre Teresa fue una de las mujeres más admiradas del siglo XX, y su recuerdo sigue inspirando labores caritativas por todo el mundo. Ella creía que la más grande necesidad de un ser humano era amar y ser amado. En 1948 fundó los Misioneros de la Caridad para trabajar directamente con los más pobres de Calcuta. A consecuencia del esfuerzo de una mujer adentrándose por los barrios bajos de Entally, los Misioneros de la Caridad crecieron hasta convertirse en una organización que operaba comedores, clínicas, hospicios y albergues en 139 países, sin ningún costo para el gobierno ni para quienes atendía. En 2016 se convirtió en Santa Teresa de Calcuta. El autor Jim Towey fue abogado y funcionario de alto rango en el Congreso de Estados Unidos en la década de 1980, hasta que un breve encuentro con la Madre Teresa iluminó el vacío de su vida. Se ofreció como voluntario en uno de sus comedores y usó sus habilidades legales y sus conexiones políticas para ayudar a los Misioneros de la Caridad. Cuando la Madre Teresa sugirió que cubriera algunos turnos en su hospicio para enfermos de SIDA, Towey descubrió el alcance de su propia vocación. Pronto dejó su trabajo y sus posesiones, y se convirtió en voluntario de tiempo completo para la Madre Teresa. Viajó frecuentemente con ella, acordando sus reuniones con políticos y manejando muchos de sus asuntos legales. Amar y ser amado es un recuento directo de los últimos años de la Madre Teresa y el primer libro en detallar su relación con los asuntos mundanos. La vemos navegar con gracia las oportunidades y los retos del liderazgo, los peligros de lafama, lo mismo que las humillaciones y los triunfos de envejecer. También la observamos disfrutando un helado de chocolate, haciendo bromas sobre las minifaldas y diciéndole al presidente de Estados Unidos que se equivoca. Por encima de todo, vemos su extraordinaria devoción a Dios y los más pobres de Sus hijos. La Madre Teresa le enseñó a Towey a orar más, a ser menos egoísta, más humilde, menos frívolo, a amar más a Dios y menos a sí mismo. Sus enseñanzas están aquí para todos.

Amazed and Confused: When God's Actions Collide With Our Expectations (InScribed Collection)
by Heather ZempelMost people have prayed for something or someone in earnest, seeking God's will, only to be left confused by God's response. Sometimes we ask, "Why would a good God allow bad things to happen to good people?" In Amazed and Confused, Heather Zempel tackles this question head-on by exploring the book of Habakkuk. When the prophet Habakkuk prayed that God would bring change to the backsliding nation of Israel, this issue came to the forefront. Habakkuk begged God for revival and that He would turn the hearts of faithless people back to Him. God's answer to Habakkuk was, "Take a look at the nations and watch what happens! You will be shocked and amazed" (1:5, The Voice). The vision God gave Habakkuk was one of warfare and exile. How do you respond when God answers your prayers in a way that seems out of line with his character and promises? Amazed and Confused proceeds systematically through the book of Habakkuk, exploring the prophet's prayer, God's response, and the prophet's journey from confusion to worship. This interactive Bible study is the perfect choice for those who are hurting and confused about God's responses to their prayers.Features include:Helpful guidance on a question without an easy answerPractical tools for studying the Minor ProphetsEasy-to-understand, accessible language
