SEED-FAITH 2000: Spiritual, Physical, and Financial Increase through the Power of Seed-Faith
by Oral RobertsIn Oral Roberts' fifty-three years in the healing ministry, never before has a biblical principle taken hold as quickly as Seed-Faith. Of all the books he has written, Oral's classic MIRACLE OF SEED-FAITH was a blockbuster. Over three million copies have been sent out since 1970, and many are still being requested each week. But in the years since that book's first printing, God has given Oral fresh revelation of the principles of Seed-Faith--seedtime and harvest, giving and receipting--which he now shares in his new book SEED-FAITH 2000. Learn about: * God's reward system. * How He feels about your needs. * How you can order your harvest in advance. * Why your seeds may sometimes seem to fail. * What to do in the growing time of your seed. Reading SEED-FAITH 2000 can help you gain a new and deeper understanding of the powerful biblical truth that your faith, no matter how small, can be planted as a seed to God. You own the strongholds in your life and meet your every need.

SOBRE EL CIELO Y LA TIERRA (EBOOK)
by BergoglioEl cardenal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, máxima autoridad de la Iglesia católica argentina, y el rabino Abraham Skorka, rector del Seminario Rabínico Latinoamericano, son dos tenaces promotores del diálogo interreligioso, a través del cual buscan construir horizontes comunes sin diluir las particularidades que los caracterizan. Sobre el cielo y la tierra es el resultado de una serie de profundas conversaciones que mantuvieron de manera alternada en la sede del Episcopado y en la comunidad judía Benei Tikva. En sus encuentros transitaron las más variadas cuestiones teológicas y terrenales. Dios, el fundamentalismo, los ateos, la muerte, el Holocausto, la homosexualidad, el capitalismo, son apenas un puñado de los temas en los que dan a conocer sus opiniones estos dos importantes referentes de las religiones que conviven en nuestro país.
SOCIETY FOR NEW TESTAMENT STUDIES: The Origin of Divine Christology (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series #169)
by Loke Andrew Ter ErnIn recent years, there has been considerable debate concerning the origin of divine Christology. Nevertheless, the proposed theories are beset with problems, such as failing to address the evidence of widespread agreement among the earliest Christians concerning divine Christology, and the issues related to whether Jesus' intention was falsified. This book offers a new contribution by addressing these issues using transdisciplinary tools. It proposes that the earliest Christians regarded Jesus as divine because a sizeable group of them perceived that Jesus claimed and showed himself to be divine, and thought that God vindicated this claim by raising Jesus from the dead. It also provides a comprehensive critique of alternative proposals, and synthesizes their strengths. It defends the appropriateness and merits of utilizing philosophical distinctions (e. g. between ontology and function) and Trinitarian concepts for explaining early Christology, and incorporates comparative religion by examining cases of deification in other contexts.

STIR: Spiritual Transformation In Relationships
by John Ortberg Mindy CaliguireIn the past, church leaders have turned to small groups or other kinds of discipleship programs to encourage spiritual growth in their churches. Yet despite good intentions, the deeper spiritual life and transformation they had hoped for remained elusive. STIR calls church leaders to reclaim an essential, biblical truth—that the process of spiritual growth is more than a one-size-fits-all program, it happens best through intentional relationships with others in the body of Christ. Three distinct, sequential stages of spiritual development typically occur as people mature in their spiritual walk with Christ, and they need different kinds of relationships to support their growth through those different seasons. STIR describes those stages—learning together, journeying together, and following together—and shows how progress into and through these stages is best made in the context of relationships that change in nature over time. Readers will learn how to intentionally establish and strengthen the unique kinds of relationships that are catalytic for growth at each stage of their journey. Church leaders will come away with a new paradigm for encouraging spiritual formation in their local church by providing appropriate encouragement and support to people at all stages of growth.
STRANGER AT THE GATE: To Be Gay and Christian in America
by Mel White&“Compelling…eloquent and compassionate…We learn as much about growing up in the Christian right as we do about gay life in Mel White&’s heartfelt and revealing memoir.&” —San Francisco ExaminerUntil Christmas Eve 1991, Mel White was regarded by the leaders of the religious right as one of their most talented and productive supporters. He penned the speeches of Oliver North. He was a ghostwriter for Jerry Falwell, worked with Jim Bakker, flew in Pat Robertson&’s private jet, walked sandy beaches with Billy Graham. What these men didn&’t know was that Mel White—evangelical minister, committed Christian, family man—was gay. &“An engrossing journey to unite sexuality with faith&” (Dallas Morning News), Stranger at the Gate details Mel White&’s twenty-five years of being counseled, exorcised, electric-shocked, prayed for, and nearly driven to suicide because his church said homosexuality was wrong. But his salvation—to be openly gay and Christian—is more than a unique coming-out story. It is a chilling exposé that goes right into the secret meetings and hidden agendas of the religious right. Told by an eyewitness and sure to anger those Mel White once knew best, Stranger at the Gate is a warning about where the politics of hate may lead America…an important book by a brave man whose words can make us both richer in spirit and much wiser too.

Saalok - Devtao Ka Sabse Bada Dar: सालोक: देवताओं का सबसे बड़ा डर
by Saket Kumarसालोक-एक ऐसा अस्त्र जिसका रहस्य ब्रहमा, विष्णु तथा महादेव ने लाखों वर्षो से अपने अंदर छिपा कर रखा था किंतु ये राज अब कलियुग जान चुका है और इससे पहले की इन्द्र तथा बाकि देवताओं को ये बात पता चले उससे पहले ही विष्णु और महादेव को बचाना होगा 'सालोक' को कलियुग से। क्योंकि 'सालोक' मिलने का अर्थ है देवताओ का अंत और अगर देवताओ को ये बात पता चली तो वो खुद को बचाने के लिये पृथ्वी का सर्वनाश कर देंगे। पृथ्वी का सर्वनाश!! यानि इंसानो को सर्वनाश! किंतु जिस इंसानो से विष्णु तथा महादेव इतना प्रेम करते है वो भला ऐसा कैसे होने देंगे। विष्णु के सामने एक कठिन चुनौती है ना वो देवताओ को मरने दे सकते है और ना ही इंसानो का साथ छोड़ सकते है और साथ ही उन्हे खत्म करना है कलियुग को भी। और आज महादेव के सुझाव से लेने जा रहे है वो अपना दसंवा अवतार किंतु ऐसा करते ही वो कलियुग तथा ब्रहमा के बीच हुये समझौते को तोड़ देगें और जिसका अर्थ है इंसानो की मौत। कैसे तोड़ेगें इस चक्रव्युह को विष्णु? और कैसे जन्म लेगा उनका दसंवा अवतार? कैसे आयी पृथ्वी पर सालोक? कौन सी शक्तियां है सालोक में जिसने त्रिदेवों को भी चिंता मे डाल दिया है और कैसे पता चला कलियुग को सालोक के बारे मे? सालोक के इस पुस्तक में परत दर परत खुलते इन सभी रहस्यो के साथ ही जिक्र है किवदंती बन चुके उन देवों का तथा उन शापित इंसानो का जो हजारों सालो से छुप कर रह रहें है किंतु अब उन्हे भी बाहर आना ही होगा। और वे आयेंगे विष्णु के दसंवे अवतार के आवाहन पर। क्योंकि विष्णु भी ये समझ चुके है की उनके सभी अवतार ने अपने अपने युगो मे पैदा हुये दुष्टों को खात्मा किया है किंतु इस बार उनका सामना हुआ है खुद एक युग से कलियुग से।
Sabbatai Ṣevi: The Mystical Messiah, 1626-1676
by Gershom Scholem Yaacob Dweck R. J. WerblowskyGershom Scholem stands out among modern thinkers for the richness and power of his historical imagination. A work widely esteemed as his magnum opus, Sabbatai Ṣevi offers a vividly detailed account of the only messianic movement ever to engulf the entire Jewish world. Sabbatai Ṣevi was an obscure kabbalist rabbi of seventeenth-century Turkey who aroused a fervent following that spread over the Jewish world after he declared himself to be the Messiah. The movement suffered a severe blow when Ṣevi was forced to convert to Islam, but a clandestine sect survived. A monumental and revisionary work of Jewish historiography, Sabbatai Ṣevi details Ṣevi's rise to prominence and stands out for its combination of philological and empirical authority and passion. This edition contains a new introduction by Yaacob Dweck that explains the scholarly importance of Scholem's work to a new generation of readers.
Sabbath
by Dan AllenderWhat would you do for twenty-four hours if the only criteria were to pursue your deepest joy?Dan Allender's lyrical book about the Sabbath expels the myriad myths about this "day of rest," starting with the one that paints the Sabbath as a day of forced quiet, spiritual exercises, and religious devotion and attendance. This, he says, is at odds with the ancient tradition of Sabbath as a day of delight for both body and soul. Instead, the only way we can make use of the Sabbath is to see God's original intent for the day with new eyes. InSabbath, Allender builds a case for delight by looking at this day as a festival that celebrates God's re-creative, redemptive love using four components:Sensual glory and beautyRitualCommunal feastingPlayfulnessNow you can experience the delight of the Sabbath as you never have before--a day in which you receive and extend reconciliation, peace, abundance, and joy.The Ancient PracticesThere is a hunger in every human heart for connection, primitive and raw, to God. To satisfy it, many are beginning to explore traditional spiritual disciplines used for centuries . . . everything from fixed-hour prayer to fasting to sincere observance of the Sabbath. Compelling and readable, the Ancient Practices series is for every spiritual sojourner, for every Christian seeker who wants more.
Sabbath Keeping: Finding Freedom in the Rhythms of Rest
by Lynne M. BaabWe keep our minds so preoccupied with work projects that we act and think on autopilot. We keep our kids so occupied with activities that they need day planners before grade school. We keep our schedules so full with church meetings and housekeeping and even entertaining that down-time sounds like a mortal sin.Sabbath Keeping

Sabbath as Resistance
by Walter BrueggemannDiscussions about the Sabbath often center around moralistic laws and arguments over whether a person should be able to play cards or purchase liquor on Sundays. In this volume, popular author Walter Brueggemann writes that the Sabbath is not simply about keeping rules but rather about becoming a whole person and restoring a whole society. Importantly, Brueggemann speaks to a 24/7 society of consumption, a society in which we live to achieve, accomplish, perform, and possess. We want more, own more, use more, eat more, and drink more. Keeping the Sabbath allows us to break this restless cycle and focus on what is truly important: God, other people, all life. Brueggemann offers a transformative vision of the wholeness God intends, giving world-weary Christians a glimpse of a more fulfilling and simpler life through Sabbath observance.
Sabbath as Resistance: Saying No To The Culture Of Now
by Walter BrueggemannIn this new edition that includes a study guide, popular author Walter Brueggemann writes that the Sabbath is not simply about keeping rules but rather about becoming a whole person and restoring a whole society. Brueggemann calls out our 24/7 society of consumption, a society in which we live to achieve, accomplish, perform, and possess. We want more, own more, use more, eat more, and drink more. Brueggemann shows readers how keeping the Sabbath allows us to break this restless cycle and focus on what is truly important: God, other people, all life. Perfect for groups or self-reflection, Sabbath as Resistance offers a transformative vision of the wholeness God intends, giving world-weary Christians a glimpse of a more fulfilling and simpler life through Sabbath observance.
Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives
by Wayne MullerIn today's world, with its relentless emphasis on success and productivity, we have lost the necessary rhythm of life, the balance between work and rest. Constantly striving, we feel exhausted and deprived in the midst of great abundance. We long for time with friends and family, we long for a moment to ourselves. Millennia ago, the tradition of Sabbath created an oasis of sacred time within a life of unceasing labor. Now, in a book that can heal our harried lives, Wayne Muller, author of the spiritual classic How, Then, Shall We Live?, shows us how to create a special time of rest, delight, and renewal--a refuge for our souls. We need not even schedule an entire day each week. Sabbath time can be a Sabbath afternoon, a Sabbath hour, a Sabbath walk. With wonderful stories, poems, and suggestions for practice, Muller teaches us how we can use this time of sacred rest to refresh our bodies and minds, restore our creativity, and regain our birthright of inner happiness.
Sabes Que Te Estás Transformando Cuando...
by Marcela Gutiérrez Bravo Dr Rosie KuhnLa transformación es un gran negocio en estos días. Está en todas partes. Se encuentra en las universidades y en las corporaciones; en los libros de autoayuda, en las iglesias y organizaciones comunitarias. Pero ¿qué es y cómo sabes que te ha sucedido? La mayoría de las personas creen que transformar su vida será algo sin esfuerzo. El dinero de pronto fluirá, las carreras se volverán satisfactorias y vivirán felices para siempre con su dulce amor de sus sueños. La verdad es que ese es el mejor escenario. Es el viejo "Porque todo lo que un hombre (mujer) siembre, eso cosechará." Apuesta al tiempo y obtendrás las recompensas. ¡Fin de la historia! La transformación no es todo lo bueno que debiera ser. Dijo esto como experta en el campo del entrenamiento transformacional y de liderazgo. Y, aliento a todos mis clientes y entrenadores a pensar cuidadosamente antes de embarcarse en este viaje de transformación. No es fácil de andar y definitivamente no es para mariquitas o débiles de corazón. Para transformarse, uno tiene que cultivar la consciencia de lo que eligen hacer y pensar, de manera que puedan elegir de modo diferente - solamente en servicio de lo que dicen y quieren. Uno tiene que cambiar sus intenciones, sus percepciones y orientación y, en muchos casos, cambiar sus compromisos. Se requiere un infernal de trabajo, y en mi experiencia, lo que la mayoría de la gente no quiere es trabajar tan duro. Sé que no quería trabajar tan duro; Aún sigo sin quererlo. Sin embargo, me quedé enganchada en este proceso de transformación al momento que me embarco para otra aventura de vida. El título de uno de mis libros, The Unholy Path of a Reluctant Adventurer, (El camino profano de un aventurero reacio) lo dice todo. Al mismo tiempo, Sé que cada uno de nosotros tiene la capacidad de ser la máxima expresión de nuestra naturaleza esencial y única. Por ello estoy tan apasionada con mi trabajo
