Globalization, Supranational Dynamics and Local Experiences (Europe in a Global Context)
by Marco Caselli Guia GilardoniThis edited collection focuses on concepts of globalization, glocalization, transnationalism and cosmopolitanism. The contributions provide evidence of how in practice, global dynamics and individual lives are interrelated. It presents theoretical reflections on how the local, the transnational and global dimensions of social life are entwined and construct the meaning of one another, and offers everyday examples of how individuals and organizations try to answer global challenges in local contexts. The book closely focuses on migration processes, as one of the main phenomena allowing a high number of people from contemporary society to directly experience supranational dynamics, either as migrants or inhabitants of the places where migrants pass through or settle down. Globalization, Supranational Dynamics and Local Experiences will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including sociology, migration studies and global studies.

Globequake: Living in the Unshakeable Kingdom While the World Falls Apart
by Wallace HenleyFrom globalization to the digital revolution, secularization to the great recession, change has never happened so fast and wide and deep as we have seen in recent years. The nature of information and the speed with which it travels is unparalleled, and it is changing our world in seismic ways that reach into every crevice of our lives. It's as if the tectonic plates of society and culture are being torn apart and reshaped right under our feet. We are living through a cultural "GLOBEQUAKE."How should we respond as families? In business? Through our churches?With the hope and stability found not on this shifting ground but in the one who created the heavens and earth, says pastor and best-selling author Wallace Henley. Drawing from his experiences in politics and journalism plus his deep biblical knowledge, Henley's analysis is clear, insightful, and thought provoking. There is no alarmist agenda here. Globequake is a well-reasoned guide to navigating the spheres of our lives in a godly manner, even as those spheres wobble on their axes."Globequake looks at current events and puts them in the context of the larger prophetic picture." ?Cal Thomas, syndicated and USA Today columnist, and Fox News contributor.
Glocalization: How Followers of Jesus Engage a Flat World
by Bob Roberts JR.If you want to know where and how the church is going to grow, think local and global. Think glocal. Glocal is Bob Roberts’ term for the seamless connectedness between the local and global. That connection is affecting the church in ways that never could have been imagined in the first-century church, or even the twentieth-century church. And it’s creating unprecedented opportunities for individuals and churches—for you and your church—to live out their faith in real time across the world. Glocalization offers a vision of the unprecedented changes of our times and how they are impacting the church. Discover how these changes will transform the way churches define their mission and how Christians relate to one another and to the world. This provocative book turns the traditional mission-agency model upside down and shows how transformed people and churches can make a glocal (global and local) impact. Glocalization offers an exciting vision for churches and individuals who want to reach this changing world for Christ.

Gloria: ¿QuÉ quieres decir?
by DR Pensacola H. Jefferson¿Qué es la SANTA GLORIA de Dios en este versículo? La SANTA GLORIA de Dios encarna TODAS las manifestaciones de su SANTA presencia atestiguada en sus SANTAS BONDADURAS, sus SANTOS BUENOS HECHOS / PODER, y su SANTO NOMBRE que lo distingue de TODOS los demás dioses falsos. “… Tú (Dios) eres BUENO y haces BIEN (bondad santa)…” (Salmo 119: 68 KJV). “… Cuenta Su gloria entre las naciones, Sus maravillas (santas) entre todos los pueblos…” (1 Crónicas 16:24 LBLA). “… Gloria en su santo nombre…” (1 Crónicas 16:10 NASB). Cuando era niño, le decían que no mirara directamente al sol. Si mira al sol a simple vista, el daño a la retina es irreversible. La SANTA GLORIA de Dios es más brillante que la del sol. “… Y la ciudad no tenía necesidad de sol… porque la (santa) gloria de Dios la iluminaba…” (Apocalipsis 21:23 RV). LA SANTA GLORIA de Dios se manifiesta a través de sus creaciones. Su SANTA GLORIA por sí sola está tan APARTE del PECADO y TAN PURA que es como una luz cegadora y transparente que es demasiado brillante para el ojo humano desnudo. “… Resplandeció con la GLORIA de Dios, y su resplandor era como el de una joya preciosa, como un jaspe, claro como el cristal…” (Apocalipsis 21:11 NVI). En Éxodo, "... Moisés dijo," ... muéstrame tu gloria ". ... El Señor dijo ... "no puedes ver mi rostro, porque nadie puede verme y vivir". … Cuando pase mi GLORIA, yo… te cubriré con mi mano hasta que haya pasado… ”(Éxodo 33: 16-23 NVI).
Glorification: An Introduction (Short Studies In Systematic Theology Ser.)
by Graham A. Cole Oren R. MartinHow Sanctification Transforms Christians Into Glorified Beings Facing sin, suffering, and an uncertain future, it’s easy to become pessimistic, but believers in Christ know the best is yet to come. God promises that one day he will redeem his image bearers and renew the earth. Few books are written on the doctrine of glorification, but its promise of restoration brings urgent hope for Christ followers. In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology series, Graham A. Cole examines the concept of divine glory as well as God’s plan for redeeming individual believers, the church, and the universe. Identifying two phases of glorification—one in this life and a final transformation into Christlikeness—Cole defines the role of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the sanctification process. Through careful study of Scripture, he shows Christians how their future identity as glorified beings should impact their perspective today.

Glorious Ruin
by Tullian TchividjianIn this world, one thing is certain: Everybody hurts. Suffering may take the form of tragedy, heartbreak, or addiction. Or it could be something more mundane (but no less real) like resentment, loneliness, or disappointment. But there's unfortunately no such thing as a painless life. In Glorious Ruin, best-selling author Tullian Tchividjian takes an honest and refreshing look at the reality of suffering, the ways we tie ourselves in knots trying to deal with it, and the comfort of the gospel for those who can't seem to fix themselves--or others. This is not so much a book about Why God allows suffering or even How we should approach suffering--it is a book about the tremendously liberating and gloriously counterintuitive truth of a God who suffers with you and for you. It is a book, in other words, about the kind of hope that takes the shape of a cross.
Glorious Sunset

Love--with its inevitable heartbreak chaser--has no place in Violet's immediate life plan. All the handsome "genie" can do for her is pony up on the three wishes he's promised, and try not to be a pain while he's at it.While the arrogant king is praying for his submissive queen, and the faithless object of his affection isn't praying at all, guardian angel Aniweto is praying for them both. With Ani's help, will Taka and Violet's epic love be rekindled and this royal couple-behaving-badly finally earn their happily-ever-after through the grace of the Almighty?
Glory: The Gospel of Judas, A Novel (Other Voices of Italy)
by Giuseppe BertoChrist’s nemesis Judas Iscariot remains a shadowy figure in the four canonical gospels, which give contradictory reasons for why this rogue disciple betrays Christ. But how would Judas himself explain his motives? In Glory, Italian modernist Giuseppe Berto’s final novel, Judas finally tells his side of the story. From his perspective, Jesus is the betrayer, a would-be political activist and social reformer who fails to live up to his promises. And by fulfilling his predestined role in the drama of Christ’s death and resurrection, Judas himself is partly responsible for humanity’s salvation, enabling them to be redeemed by Christ’s sacrifice. As the novel probes into the psychological motivations behind his rejection of Jesus’ authority, Judas emerges as a compelling conflicted character, a man who seeks to have agency even when he knows his actions are being scripted by a higher power. Through Judas’s searing tortured monologues, this late masterpiece from one of Italy’s greatest writers investigates deep questions about the nature of faith, rebellion, fate, and free will.
