Segundas oportunidades
by Max LucadoNosotros los humanos somos propensos al fracaso. Somos expertos en enredar, revolver y estropear nuestras vidas. ¿Quién de nosotros no ha mirado hacia arriba desde el fondo de un hoyo y se ha dado cuenta de que lo ha cavado por sí mismo? ¿Quién no ha caído tan hondo y ha echado a perder las cosas de tal manera que ha llegado a pensar que no había esperanza? Es en estos momentos de desaliento cuando anhelamos un recordatorio de que hay esperanza para los quebrantados.Ningún recordatorio es tan conmovedor como una historia que hable de segundas oportunidades. Una historia de gracia en acción. ¿A cuántos no les servirían más historias como estas?Segundas oportunidades está lleno de relatos bíblicos, contemporáneos y de ficción extraídos de las obras publicadas de Max Lucado, donde se observa la gracia de Dios en acción, e incluye historias sobre nuevas oportunidades para aquellas personas propensas al fracaso, llenas de rebeldía, orgullo y otras condiciones. Desde Pedro hasta el rey David, pasando por una hija pródiga, estas historias les recordarán a los lectores la magnitud del evangelio sobre segundas oportunidades. We humans are prone to failure. We're experts at muddying, mixing, and messing up our lives. Who among us hasn't looked up from the bottom of a pit and realized he dug it himself? And it's at these low points that we crave reminders that there's hope for the broken.

Sei un Seguace di Cristo?: Scopri l'Autentica Salvezza
by Bill VincentBill Vincent si è emozionato per la parola. Il fuoco di Dio sta per cadere. Vuole dirvi che ogni ritorno alla religione in cui non venga predicato alcun Vangelo, non è affatto un risveglio religioso. Bill desidera darvi un messaggio che chiama Sei un Seguace di Cristo. Sei un seguace? In Matteo 25:1 la Bibbia dice: “Allora il regno de’ cieli sarà simile a dieci vergini le quali, prese le loro lampade, uscirono a incontrar lo sposo. E sulla mezzanotte si levò un grido: Ecco lo sposo, uscitegli incontro!”
Seignelay Colbert de Castlehill (1735-1811): A Bishop Between Scottish Enlightenment and Counter-Revolution
by Alain AlcouffeThis book brings together its contributors to study the figure of Seignelay Colbert de Castlehill, born in Inverness on 13th August 1735 into a Presbyterian family and who died in London, an anti-Concordant bishop and leader of the ‘Little Church’ on 15th July 1811. Vicar general of Loménie de Brienne in Toulouse, frequenting the Parisian salons, he was the guide of the economist Adam Smith in Toulouse and in the Southwest, from Bordeaux to Montpellier, from March 1764 to October 1765. In 1782, he was elevated to the episcopal see of Rodez and became president of the provincial assembly of Haute-Guyenne. As a representative of the clergy of Rouergue in 1789, he was one of the French bishops who rallied to the Third Estate, allowing the Estates-General to become the National Assembly. He has however escaped the prosopography of the French Revolution, as well as Scottish historiography.
Seiki Jutsu: The Practice of Non-Subtle Energy Medicine
by Bradford Keeney Hillary KeeneyA guide to the ancient Japanese art of working with concentrated life-force energy, seiki, for self-healing, revitalization, and creativity • Explains how to awaken seiki, guiding you through the stages of seiki development • Details how to develop your own daily practice for self-healing and renewal as well as providing exercises to infuse your everyday activities with seiki • Includes many inspiring stories from the authors’ decades of healing work Seiki jutsu is the ancient Japanese shamanic art of working with seiki, concentrated life-force energy, for self-healing, revitalization, creativity, and inspiration. Known in Tantra as kundalini and to the Kalahari Bushmen as n/om, seiki has been called “activated and strengthened chi” and is often described as a “non-subtle” energy because it is strongly felt when awakened. Centering on spontaneity of movement to gather and transmit seiki, the practice of seiki jutsu does not require years of training or endless memorization of forms. Once you have received seiki, your daily practice will teach you to activate the flow of this powerful energy to recharge your body, mind, and spirit and empower you to find your unique destiny. Renowned seiki jutsu masters Bradford and Hillary Keeney detail the history and lineage of seiki jutsu beginning in 8th-century Japan and reveal how this ancient practice was used by the samurai. The authors show how seiki underlies the “flow experience” sought after by artists, musicians, athletes, and performers of all types. They explain how to recognize the awakening of seiki, guiding you through the stages of seiki development with stories of healings they have participated in or witnessed. They reveal how to develop your own daily practice for self-healing and renewal as well as provide active exercises to discover your life’s purpose, infuse your everyday activities with seiki, and motivate yourself to create a fulfilling life. They show that no method of performance, spiritual practice, or philosophy of life can fully awaken unless you are instilled with sufficient seiki. Regarded in Japan as “the fountain of youth,” seiki jutsu provides a way to bring maximum vitality into every aspect of life.
Sein, Erkenntnis und Skepsis: Wahrheitskonzept in den Superkommentaren von al-Ḫayālī und al-Farhārī zu at-Taftāzānīs Šarḥ al-ʿAqāʾid an-Nasafīya (BestMasters)
by Soner GörenDas Konzept der Wahrheit begründet das Fundament der Theologie (ʿilm al-kalām) im klassischen Islam. Deshalb beginnt die berühmte Glaubensabhandlung des an-Nasafī (gest. 1142) mit der Verteidigung des Wahrheitskonzeptes gegenüber den Sophisten. In diesem Buch werden der Kommentar des at-Taftāzānī (gest. 1390) und die beiden Superkommentare von al-Ḫayālī (gest. 1470) und al-Farhārī (gest. 1823) zur erwähnten Glaubensabhandlung im Hinblick auf wahrheitstheoretische Inhalte und Argumentationen untersucht. Indem die Autoren die Wahrheit als eine Korrespondenzrelation zwischen dem menschlichen Intellekt und der Wirklichkeit auf den Begriff bringen, argumentieren sie für die subjektunabhängige Existenz der Dinge und die Möglichkeit einer wirklichkeitsabbildenden Erkenntnis.

Seized by Truth: Reading the Bible as Scripture
by Joel B. GreenWe read the Bible and interpret Scripture in order to live in grace-filled relation to God's divine purpose.When we approach the Bible as Scripture author, Joel Green, takes seriously the faith statement that the Bible is our Book; these scriptures are our Scripture. We are not reading someone else's mail--as though reading the Bible had to do foremost with recovering an ancient meaning intended for someone else and then translating its principles for use in our own lives. When we recall that we are the people of God to whom the Bible is addressed as Scripture, we realize that the fundamental transformation is not the transformation of an ancient message into a contemporary meaning, bur rather the transformation of our lives by means of God's Word. This means that reading the Bible as Scripture has less to do with what tools we bring to the task, however important these may be, and more to do with our own dispositions as we come to our engagement with Scripture. We come not so much to retrieve facts or to gain information, but to be formed and ultimately, transformed. Scripture does not present us with texts to be mastered but with a Word, God's Word, intent on mastering us, on shaping our lives.
Seizing Your Divine Moment
by Erwin Raphael McmanusIn this inspiring book, Erwin McManus uses the biblical account of Israel's war with the Philistines (1 Samuel 13 and 14) and the characters of Saul and Jonathan to demonstrate the difference between living a life of purpose and adventure, and living one of apathy and missed opportunity. In the midst of a less-than-hopeful battle, Saul-who should have been leading-rested beneath a pomegranate tree as Jonathan seized the divine moment that would impact the future of Israel. Through this story McManus artfully illustrates the eight characteristics of an adventurer's heart, what he calls "the Jonathan factor." Using powerful examples from his own life and ministry, along with fresh biblical teaching, McManus asserts that God crafts divine moments specific to each of us-priceless opportunities for us to actively engage in God's big-picture plan. Apathy and apprehension prevent us from being all we are meant to be for God's kingdom. But by developing the characteristics McManus outlines, Christians can move from mundane to miraculous living.

Seiðr Magic: The Norse Tradition of Divination and Trance
by Dean Kirkland• Explains the techniques used to achieve trance in seiðr, how to journey in the Nine Realms, and the different gods and spirits you may encounter • Discusses the tools of seiðr, such as the seiðr staff and hood, and how to create them, empower them, and care for them • Details Norse divination methods, ways to alter fate, healing techniques, the use of protective songs, and the practice of Norse soul retrieval While Norse rune work is well known, there is another major ancient Norse magical practice: seiðr (pronounced &“sayther&”), a form of trance spirit work and divination. Although seiðr is often considered an ancient form of witchcraft, recent archaeological evidence suggests it is more closely related to shamanism. In this practical guide to seiðr, Dean Kirkland, Ph.D., reconstructs the magical and shamanic techniques of the seiðr priest or priestess using the sagas and other literature from the Viking age, tools found in the archaeological record, and surviving indigenous shamanic traditions. He addresses the misconception that seiðr was a practice reserved only for women and shows how anyone called to this work would have been accepted in ancient Norse society. He discusses the tools of seiðr and how to create them, empower them, and care for them. He explores the use of protective songs (varðlokkur) that involve forming bonds with spirits, a practice he likens to the medicine songs of Amazonian shamans. He explains the techniques used to achieve trance in seiðr and how they are based on finding balance between the light and the darkness. Looking at trance journeying in the Nine Realms of the Norse cosmos, the author discusses the different gods and spirits the seiðr practitioner may encounter in the Upper Realms, the Middle Worlds, and the Lower Realms. He shares exercises on the Wyrd, divination methods in seiðr, as well as ways to alter Ørlög, or fate, through spiritual work. Discussing soul-healing techniques in seiðr, the author looks in depth at the Norse shamanic practices of soul retrieval and reintegration of the soul parts. He then explores seiðr&’s role in death, dying, and dealing with the dead, including work with the Valkries and the ancestors. Presenting a historically based handbook for contemporary heathens, this book offers a practical path for anyone seeking to explore Norse trance magic and mysticism.

You will experience how your offering of pain, fear, rage, and self-sabotage is digested, absorbed, and assimilated by Sekhmet while you are initiated into the alchemy of total transformation. The initiations, rites of passage, and transmissions from Sekhmet included in the journey restructure the most important aspects of your body, mind, spirit, and soul.This journey of shamanic death, illumination, and rebirth in the belly of Sekhmet provides an opportunity to heal on all levels and allows you to release your rage, anger, and fear as you transform the energies that maintained them into creative and constructive solutions that benefit yourself, your community, and the planet.

Selbstmordanschläge und Islam: Muslime zwischen Distanzierung und Ignoranz (essentials)
by Thorsten Gerald SchneidersDas Phänomen der Selbstmordattentäter ist historisch belegt und nicht auf bestimmte Religionen und Kulturen begrenzt. Trotzdem liegt der Fokus häufig auf Taten, die in einem islamischen Kontext verübt werden. Die zentralen Beweggründe für Selbstmordattentäter sind politischer Natur. Dass der religiöse Aspekt dennoch überhöht wird, liegt an dem Stereotyp, wonach der Islam besonders gewaltfördernd sei. Diese Darstellung wiederum führt bei Muslimen mitunter dazu, die religiöse Komponente solcher Gewaltakte zu ignorieren oder zu leugnen. Ein Zusammenhang zwischen Selbstmordattentaten und Islam ist aber nicht von der Hand zu weisen.

Select Letters of John Newton
by John NewtonJohn Newton (1725-1807), sailor, preacher and hymnwriter, was one of the most colourful figures in the great Evangelical Revival of the 18th Century. Once an infidel and libertine, a servant of slaves in Africa, he wrote for his own epitaph, by the rich mercy of Jesus Christ, preserved, restored, pardoned, and appointed to preach the faith he had long laboured to destroy. It was through his correspondence that Newton fulfilled his distinctive work as the letter writer par excellence of the Evangelical Revival . His grasp of Scripture and deep personal experience, his many friends (among them, George Whitefield, William Cowper and William Wilberforce), his manifold trials, his country pastorate, his strong, clear, idiomatic style all these factors combined to prepare the author of How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds , for the exercise of his special gift. These practical letters cover a wide variety of subjects and aim to conform the believer to Christ.
Selected Discourses of Shenoute The Great

This volume presents in translation a selection of his sermons and other orations. These works grant us access to the theology, rhetoric, moral teachings, spirituality, and social agenda of a powerful Christian leader during a period of great religious and social change in the later Roman Empire.
