Pourquoi j'ai quitté la religion juive pour suivre Jésus
by Bernard LevineJ’ai la conviction que vous allez être choqués de savoir que, dans la plupart des maisons juives, vous ne trouverez pas une Bible. Vous diriez néanmoins ; ‘ n’est-ce pas bizarre ?! comment se fait-il qu’une nation connue sous le nom ‘les Gens du Livre’ ne possèdent, dans leurs maisons une Bible ?’ Ce qui est encore plus surprenant est que, même si vous pensez que les Juifs suivent et connaissent bien les Écritures, la vérité la plus choquante est que la plupart des livres de l’Ancien Testament sont un mystère pour les Juifs parce qu'ils ne connaissent pas les prophéties de Jésus, et n'en ont jamais vu, citées dans les livres tels que Ezéchiel, Isaïe, Daniel et Malachie. En outre, vous rendiez-vous compte que les Juifs ne savent pas ce qu'ils disent quand ils prient, car la plupart des Juifs ne peuvent pas comprendre l'hébreu? Alors maintenant, je suppose que vous devez vous demander comment les Juifs peuvent-ils se débarrasser de tous leurs péchés s'ils ne croient pas en Jésus-Christ? ... qu'est-ce que les juifs pensent être le moyen de se rendre au paradis? Vous serez choqués de savoir ce qui se passe dans le monde juif.
Poustinia: Christian Spirituality of the East for Western Man
by Catherine de Hueck DohertyFrom the book: In writing about the poustinia, she is not writing so much about a technique of prayer as of a journey into God, her own and, if we want, ours. It is a journey filled with marvels and even terrors to be sure, but a journey open to all who want to take it. "Poustinia" sounds exotic, remote, yet Catherine shows that it is simply that secret room the Lord has told us of, where the Father will reward us with himself, in secret, if we only go there in faith. She tells us something of the treasures we will find there in God's Word-defenselessness, poverty, liberation. She shares with us her own knowledge of what it means to fight for the world at the center of that darkness that threatens to overwhelm the earth. She teaches us about beautiful gifts -tears, tongues of love, and especially the Jesus Prayerthat God will give us to heal the world's sickness. She reminds us of the hardest saying of all, that to live with Christ in his kingdom we must become as poor as he is. She reminds us too that his Mother stands with us in this place of poverty and weakness, to console us and to strengthen us with her "yes." But most of all Catherine holds up to us a vision of "cosmic tenderness." In the desert God makes our hearts like the heart of his Son, gentle, lowly, compassionate. There we learn tenderness to all his creatures, to all our sisters and brothers, and, most important of all, to ourselves. It is when we know ourselves as the joy of God, images of the Lord Jesus, that our brothers and sisters become our joy. To my mind, this is the very core of Catherine's word to us.
Poustinia: Encountering God in Silence, Solitude, and Prayer
by Catherine DohertyCatherine Doherty, foundress of the Madonna House, a Catholic Apostolate, combines her Russian Orthodox upbringing with her Catholic faith to describe the concept of Poustinia, a dwelling place one goes to for spiritual contemplation and prayer
Pouvoir du Sacrifice
by Gabriel AgboLes sacrifices sont puissants. Très puissants! L’homme le plus riche, l'homme le plus fort, l'homme et la femme les plus bénis, le plus sage, les plus grands rois, les prophètes les plus puissants étaient tous des hommes et femmes de sacrifice. Ils ont tout donné, tout risqué pour leur peuple, l'humanité et Dieu afin d'atteindre leurs objectifs et réaliser des exploits dont même l'éternité serait fière. Voulez-vous connaître leurs secrets? Bien. Si vous voulez réussir, vous devez tout d'abord devenir un homme/femme de sacrifice. Tout est possible à ceux qui sont prêts à faire des sacrifices. Vous le verrez dans ces chapitres hautement révélateurs- Le pouvoir du sacrifice, Sacrifiez votre tout, Je passerai par l'Egypte, Je vais payer le prix, Suivez-moi! Nous sommes venus pour vous, Je vais vous préserver, Cuisinez ce dernier repas, Le pouvoir de sauver, Adoration, prière et jeûne. Nous n'avons pas seulement abordé les énormes sacrifices de grands hommes et femmes contenus dans la bible et la manière dont leurs actions les ont rendus grands, mais nous avons également parlé de personnes telles que Yonatan "Yoni" Netanyahu d'Israël; ce jeune israélien qui a conduit l'unité commando mise en place afin de sauver les otages juifs détenus à l'aéroport d'Entebbe après que leur avion a été pris en otage et détourné vers l'Ouganda en 1976. Nous nous sommes en outre focalisés sur nos héros militaires, tout particulièrement ceux des Opérations spéciales -telles que les SEAL, Delta Force. Ces hommes ont donné le meilleur; risquant tout à chaque fois y compris leurs vies afin de défendre leur peuple, l'humanité. Ils ont sacrifié leurs vies afin de protéger les autres. Jésus a dit que le plus grand sacrifice pour l'homme consiste à donner sa vie pour les autres. Nous leur rendons hommage! Ils nous enseignent ce que doit être le sacrifice. Jésus a dit quel sacrifice plus grand pourrait-il exister que le fait pour un homme de do
Poverty and Charity in the Jewish Community of Medieval Egypt (Jews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern World #20)
by Mark R. CohenWhat was it like to be poor in the Middle Ages? In the past, the answer to this question came only from institutions and individuals who gave relief to the less fortunate. This book, by one of the top scholars in the field, is the first comprehensive book to study poverty in a premodern Jewish community--from the viewpoint of both the poor and those who provided for them. Mark Cohen mines the richest body of documents available on the matter: the papers of the Cairo Geniza. These documents, located in the Geniza, a hidden chamber for discarded papers situated in a medieval synagogue in Old Cairo, were preserved largely unharmed for more than nine centuries due to an ancient custom in Judaism that prohibited the destruction of pages of sacred writing. Based on these papers, the book provides abundant testimony about how one large and important medieval Jewish community dealt with the constant presence of poverty in its midst. Building on S. D. Goitein's Mediterranean Society and inspired also by research on poverty and charity in medieval and early modern Europe, it provides a clear window onto the daily lives of the poor. It also illuminates private charity, a subject that has long been elusive to the medieval historian. In addition, Cohen's work functions as a detailed case study of an important phenomenon in human history. Cohen concludes that the relatively narrow gap between the poor and rich, and the precariousness of wealth in general, combined to make charity "one of the major agglutinates of Jewish associational life" during the medieval period.
Poverty and Exclusion of Minorities in China and India

Poverty and the Quest for Life: Spiritual and Material Striving in Rural India
by Bhrigupati SinghThe Indian subdistrict of Shahabad, located in the dwindling forests of the southeastern tip of Rajasthan, is an area of extreme poverty. Beset by droughts and food shortages in recent years, it is the home of the Sahariyas, former bonded laborers, officially classified as Rajasthan’s only “primitive tribe.” From afar, we might consider this the bleakest of the bleak, but in Poverty and the Quest for Life, Bhrigupati Singh asks us to reconsider just what quality of life means. He shows how the Sahariyas conceive of aspiration, advancement, and vitality in both material and spiritual terms, and how such bridging can engender new possibilities of life. Singh organizes his study around two themes: power and ethics, through which he explores a complex terrain of material and spiritual forces. Authority remains contested, whether in divine or human forms; the state is both despised and desired; high and low castes negotiate new ways of living together, in conflict but also cooperation; new gods move across rival social groups; animals and plants leave their tracks on human subjectivity and religiosity; and the potential for vitality persists even as natural resources steadily disappear. Studying this milieu, Singh offers new ways of thinking beyond the religion-secularism and nature-culture dichotomies, juxtaposing questions about quality of life with political theologies of sovereignty, neighborliness, and ethics, in the process painting a rich portrait of perseverance and fragility in contemporary rural India.

Power Moves Study Guide: What the Bible Says About How You Can Reclaim and Redefine Your God-Given Power
by Sarah Jakes RobertsIn the Power Moves Study Guide, Sarah Jakes Roberts shares what the Bible says about how followers of Jesus can reclaim and redefine their God-given power. God's original intention for humankind was for them to subdue the earth and have dominion over it. He instructed Adam and Eve to "rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground" (Genesis 1:28). But the first humans allowed the enemy to talk them into giving up this authority and ended up undermining their mission in the world. We have been living with the repercussions ever since.But this is not the way it was supposed to be—and this is not the way it has to be. We do not have to buy into the enemy's lie that we are powerless. We can reclaim the power that God intends for us to have. We can allow His strength to move in us, through us, and work for us so that we can stand against the schemes of the enemy and make a positive impact for God in this world. As Paul wrote, we can "put on the full armor of God" so we can "stand against the devil&’s schemes" (Ephesians 6:10).The Bible states that God created us to be a force in this world. We no longer have to accept that we have no power to change our situation. We can rediscover God's power and allow it to move in us.

Power Spiritual Stories
by Noor GajrajThese one hundred stories, born from three decades of spiritual pursuit, were chosen for their profound impact. Stories can be life-changing. It is often said that the shortest distance between a human being and truth is a story. In a world filled with untruths, stories help us discern what to believe. They allow us to explore different thoughts, perceptions, and actions, encouraging us to adopt new attitudes and choices. They provide a new way to interact with the world and others. These stories possess a power beyond words, connecting deeply with the brain and touching the soul. They carry messages from God that illuminate darkness and bring transformation. Stories can shift our paradigms, stimulate new perspectives, and help us transcend the physical to go beyond apparent facts.
