El Nacimiento de lo milagroso: El poder de los encuentros personales con Dios que cambian su vida y al mundo

by Heidi Baker

Dios nos ha prometido milagros. ¿Está usted dispuesto a hacer lo necesario para verlos ocurrir? Todos deseamos el favor de Dios en nuestras vidas. Con ansiedad oramos y esperamos por sus milagros, promesas y bendiciones. Pero llevar las promesas de Dios a menudo implica que se nos incomode, que vayamos más allá de nosotros mismos, y que seamos pacientes para cultivar esas promesas hasta que llegue el tiempo de Dios para que se hagan una realidad. En El nacimiento de lo milagroso Heidi Baker entreteje historias reales de su vida y ministerio, donde incluye visitaciones personales y visiones transformadoras junto con la historia bíblica del embarazo de María, la madre de Jesús para mostrarle cómo convertirse en un catalizador de la gloria de Dios aquí en la tierra. A veces las promesas de Dios parecen extrañas e incluso locas. Pero independientemente de cuán imposibles parezcan sus promesas, podemos responder como lo hizo María, con un grito rendido de “¡Sí!” Es hora de entrar a cada esfera de la sociedad, llevar su promesa, creer lo imposible y ver a Dios hacer milagros a través de usted.

by Bill Johnson

Toda persona nació con un propósito, fue creada por Dios para hacer una diferencia en su reino. Pero, ¿cuál es el secreto para dejar un legado de fidelidad y favor a las futuras generaciones? Uno de los sueños más grandes del corazón del pastor Bill Johnson es que todos terminen bien en su caminar y dejen un legado para los demás.

Naciste para trascender representa la culminación del estudio de toda la vida de Johnson sobre este tema. Comparte ideas de la vida de personas como Ezequías, Gedeón y Salomón. Algunos terminaron bien y otros terminaron mal. Pero toda su vida ilustra principios que lo ayudarán en las próximas temporadas. Usted fue diseñado para tener favor y pasarlo a los demás. Usted fue diseñado para terminar bien y dejar un legado de fidelidad a su familia y a las generaciones futuras. Pero los principios de promoción que se encuentran en la vida de las personas, en este libro deben tenerse en cuenta si desea navegar bien por las estaciones de bendición y evitar el destino de muchos de los que se han ido antes que usted. Estos principios son una advertencia profética. Son un llamado de atención a esta vida que estamos llamados a vivir.

Nada más que la verdad: Como defender el evangelio en un mundo esceptico

by John Macarthur

Las Escrituras son claras en cuanto al hecho de que debemos estar preparados para comunicar la verdad del evangelio siempre que se nos presente la oportunidad, y hacerlo con la actitud correcta. Pero incluso cuando su tono es amable y respetuoso, ¿qué debe decir, específicamente, cuando le preguntan o le retan en cuanto a su fe? Y como discípulo de Cristo, ¿cuál es su responsabilidad general para con los que no creen? Combinando un estudio bíblico del evangelismo, con una defensa racional de las creencias cristianas y un enfoque práctico del testimonio cristiano, este libro le ofrece una perspectiva bien razonada que le puede ayudar a dar respuestas amables y confiadas de la esperanza que usted tiene en Cristo Jesús. Scripture is clear about the fact that we must be prepared to communicate the truth of the gospel when given the opportunity-and to do it with the right attitude. But even when your tone is gentle and respectful, what, specifically, should you say when asked or confronted about your faith? And what is your overall responsibility to unbelievers as a disciple of Christ? Combining a biblical study of evangelism, a rational defense of Christian beliefs, and a practical approach to evangelism, this book offers a well-rounded perspective that can help you gently and confidently give an answer for the hope you have in Christ.

The Nag Hammadi Scriptures

by James M. Robinson Marvin W. Meyer

The Definitive Collection of Gnostic Writings The year is 1945. At the foot of a cliff along the Nile River, near the city of Nag Hammadi, an Egyptian peasant unearths a large storage jar containing ancient manuscripts. The discovery turns out to be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the past century. A treasure of fourth-century texts, the manuscripts are the scriptures of the ancient mystical tradition commonly called Gnosticism, from the Greek gnosis, that is, secret knowledge. It is a discovery that challenges everything we thought we knew about the early Christian church, ancient Judaism, and Greco-Roman religions. The Nag Hammadi Scriptures is the most complete and up-to-date English-language edition of these sacred texts from Egypt. It is full of treatises, testimonies, and secret books that had been lost for centuries. In addition to gospels purportedly by the apostles Thomas and Philip, and the revelations of James, Peter, and Paul, this collection also includes the Gospel of Mary and the controversial Gospel of Judas. The documents have been newly translated by a team of prominent international scholars. This volume also features introductory essays and extensive notes to help readers understand the context and significance of these texts that have revolutionized the study of early Christianity and ancient religious thought.

Nagarjuna in Context: Mahayana Buddhism and Early Indian Culture

by Joseph Walser

Joseph Walser provides the first examination of Nagarjuna's life and writings in the context of the religious and monastic debates of the second century CE. Walser explores how Nagarjuna secured the canonical authority of Mahayana teachings and considers his use of rhetoric to ensure the transmission of his writings by Buddhist monks. Drawing on close textual analysis of Nagarjuna's writings and other Buddhist and non-Buddhist sources, Walser offers an original contribution to the understanding of Nagarjuna and the early history of Buddhism.

Nagarjuna's Advice for Buddhists: Geshe Sopa's Explanation of Letter to a Friend

by Lhundub Sopa

A modern commentary by a beloved Tibetan teacher on a classical Indian Buddhist text and an introduction to Buddhism by one of the tradition&’s most famous authors. A teaching on how to live a Buddhist life in contemporary society.Letter to A Friend, by the great Indian philosopher Nagarjuna, is one of the best-known introductions to Buddhism in classical Indian Buddhist literature. In this warm and generous commentary, one of the twentieth century&’s most beloved teachers, Geshe Lhundup Sopa, shows how Nagarjuna&’s advice on how to follow Buddhist ethics while living fully in the world speaks just as clearly to us today as it did to the Indian king for whom it was composed. Nagarjuna maintained that all Buddhists can embody the full teachings of the Buddha. Therefore, this book covers topics from simple virtues to the most profound truths of emptiness. Expertly compiled by his student, scholar Beth Newman, from talks given over a number of years, the commentary brings this ancient Buddhist teaching to a modern audience.

Nagarjuna's Letter to a Friend: With Commentary By Kangyur Rinpoche

by The Padmakara Translation Group Kyabje Kangyur

The great Indian Buddhist master Nagarjuna wrote his celebrated poem Letter to a Friend as a gift of advice to a South Indian king, and it has since become a monument in the Indian shastra tradition. Despite its short length (only 123 verses), it covers the entire Mahayana path, combining a practical approach to daily conduct with a theoretical exposition of the different stages leading to enlightenment. It has thus been an ideal source for many of Tibet's greatest scholars seeking a scriptural authority to enhance their own descriptions of the Buddhist path. In addition to a new English translation of the poem followed by the original Tibetan, this book includes commentary and a structural outline by the great twentieth-century scholar Kyabje Kangyur Rinpoche.

Nagarjuna's Middle Way

by Mark Siderits Shoryu Katsura

Nagarjuna's renowned twenty-seven-chapter Fundamental Verses on the Middle Way (Mulamadhyamakakarika) is the foundational text of the Madhyamaka school of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy. It is the definitive, touchstone presentation of the doctrine of emptiness. Professors Siderits and Katsura prepared this translation using the four surviving Indian commentaries in an attempt to reconstruct an interpretation of its enigmatic verses that adheres as closely as possible to that of its earliest proponents. Each verse is accompanied by concise, lively exposition by the authors conveying the explanations of the Indian commentators. The result is a translation that balances the demands for fidelity and accessibility.

Nagarjuna's Precious Garland: Ratnavali (Classics of Indian Buddhism)

by Sara McClintock

Discover the eloquence and insight of the philosopher Nagarjuna, held by tradition to be a second Buddha, in this concise instruction for a king that is considered a masterpiece of Buddhist literature.In this profound work of five hundred verses, we encounter a presentation of Buddhism that integrates both the worldly and the transcendent. The clear and sagacious advice laid out on every page serves as a road map to one&’s highest goal—whether that goal is a better life, here called the Dharma of ascendance, or the ultimate one of spiritual freedom, the Dharma of the highest good. The verses, written for an unnamed ruler, touch on questions of statecraft, but their broader themes speak to us today because they tackle the difficulty of integrating one&’s spiritual journey with the social and political demands of daily life. Nagarjuna was an Indian Buddhist teacher, probably of the second century CE, who was renowned for his astute articulation of the philosophy of the Middle Way (Madhyamaka). His thoroughgoing critique of all forms of essentialism became a touchstone for Mahayana Buddhism in India, Tibet, and throughout East Asia, and his importance for the development of the Mahayana tradition can scarcely be exaggerated. The translators here first rendered Nagarjuna&’s letter for the Dalai Lama&’s teachings on the work in Los Angeles in 1997. While that commemorative edition was translated from the Tibetan, the present volume prioritizes the surviving Sanskrit verses along with the only known Indian commentary, by the eleventh-century scholar Ajitamitra. This is the first complete translation in English of the Precious Garland that takes the Indian text and commentary as its primary authorities. In addition, the translators provide rigorous working editions of the Sanskrit and Tibetan verses they translate. This elegant and precise rendering of Nagarjuna&’s work is certain to become the touchstone translation of this celebrated Buddhist text.

Nagarjuna's Wisdom: A Practitioner's Guide to the Middle Way

by Barry Kerzin

Explore the Mulamadhyamakakarika the way the Dalai Lama teaches it.Nagarjuna’s Fundamental Verses on the Middle Way, or as it’s known in Tibetan, Root Wisdom, is a definitive presentation of the doctrines of emptiness and dependent arising, and a foundational text of Mahayana Buddhism. In this book, Barry Kerzin, personal physician to the Dalai Lama, presents this fundamental work in a digestible way, using a method favored by His Holiness: focusing on five key chapters, presented in a specific order. First we explore the twelve links of dependent origination, in Nagarjuna’s chapter 26, to learn why and how we cycle through sa?sara. Then we examine the self that cycles to discover that, in fact, there is no inherently existent self, based on Nagarjuna's chapter 18. We then enter an analysis of the four noble truths, based on chapter 24, to understand how conventional reality is understood. Next, an investigation of the Tathagata shows the reader that even emptiness is empty in chapter 22. Finally, Nagarjuna re-emphasizes the pervasiveness of emptiness in his first chapter. Thus, Dr. Kerzin walks us through Nagarjuna’s masterwork and lets the great teacher introduce us to Buddhist philosophy, step by step—deepening our understanding, enhancing the way we practice.

Nago Grandma and White Papa: Candomble and the Creation of Afro-Brazilian Identity

by Beatriz Gois Dantas

Nago Grandma and White Papais a signal work in Brazilian anthropology and African diaspora studies originally published in Brazil in 1988. This edition makes Beatriz Gois Dantas's historioethnographic study available to an English-speaking audience for the first time. Dantas compares the formation of Yoruba (Nago) religious traditions and ethnic identities in the Brazilian states of Sergipe and Bahia, revealing how they diverged from each other due to their different social and political contexts and needs. By tracking how markers of supposedly "pure" ethnic identity and religious practice differed radically from one place to another, Dantas shows the social construction of identity within a network of class-related demands and alliances. She demonstrates how the shape and meaning of "purity" have been affected by prolonged and complex social and cultural mixing, compromise, and struggle over time. Ethnic identity, as well as social identity in general, is formed in the crucible of political relations between social groups that purposefully mobilize and manipulate cultural markers to define their respective boundaries-a process, Dantas argues, that must be applied to understanding the experience of African-descended people in Brazil.

Nahmanides: Law and Mysticism

by Moshe Halbertal

A broad, systematic account of one of the most original and creative kabbalists, biblical interpreters, and Talmudic scholars the Jewish tradition has ever produced Rabbi Moses b. Nahman (1194–1270), known in English as Nahmanides, was the greatest Talmudic scholar of the thirteenth century and one of the deepest and most original biblical interpreters. Beyond his monumental scholastic achievements, Nahmanides was a distinguished kabbalist and mystic, and in his commentary on the Torah he dispensed esoteric kabbalistic teachings that he termed &“By Way of Truth.&” This broad, systematic account of Nahmanides&’s thought explores his conception of halakhah and his approach to the central concerns of medieval Jewish thought, including notions of God, history, revelation, and the reasons for the commandments. The relationship between Nahmanides&’s kabbalah and mysticism and the existential religious drive that nourishes them, as well as the legal and exoteric aspects of his thinking, are at the center of Moshe Halbertal&’s portrayal of Nahmanides as a complex and transformative thinker.

Nahum, Obadiah, and Esther: Israel Among the Nations (International Theological Commentary (ITC))

by Richard J. Coggins S P Re'emi

This commentary concerns writings which emerged from three successive stages in Judah's decline and captivity — the century of fear engendered by the Assyrian menace (addressed in Nahum), the shock and disorientation that followed the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem (Obadiah), and the necessary dilemma of adapting yet maintaining their uniqueness in an alien setting (Esther). All three books reflect the efforts to maintain faith despoite continued assaults on traditional views of the nature of God and the Covenant.

Naked and Unafraid: 5 Keys to Abandon Smallness, Overcome Criticism, and Be All You Are Meant to Be

by Kevin Gerald

Celebrate a vulnerable and open life by overcoming the fear of criticism to start living the life God intended.Fear of criticism has turned into a massive epidemic harder than ever to overcome. It prevents people from speaking up; it's why most people struggle to make decisions; it's why we're uncomfortable with vulnerability and openness; and it's why so many are unable to meet their full potential. But it doesn't have to be that way. Through the Bible story of King David dancing naked in the streets while his distant, guarded, and critical wife watches from a window, Naked and Unafraid provides a visual contrast of these two characters that sheds light on the way we all approach life and explains how the fear of criticism impacts our lives much more than we realize or are willing to admit. God didn't create us to live guarded, isolated lives. Our greatest fulfillment isn't found in the window. It's found in the street. Everything in our lives, including our relationships, our work, our emotional and spiritual health, gets better in a place of openness and vulnerability. But that doesn't mean it's easy. . . because it's not. Vulnerability is risky. Exposure is scary.Naked and Unafraid pushes readers to:Find the courage to not let criticism control or determine who they are and what they do.Stop living in the shallow end of relationships and experience the rewards that true vulnerability can bring.Abandon smallness and live the life they were born to live.Discover how the fear of criticism diminishes in direct proportion to understanding it.Reject the limitations and inhibitions of "window living," so they can experience the freedom and rewards of "street life."Confront their own worst critic that counts them out of what God has included them in.God will help you move away from window watching, and toward street dancing. Know who He says you are, and live in that freedom!
