Sé un hombre de fe inquebrantable
by Joel Osteen John OsteenDurante sus 60 años como pastor, John Osteen combinó su extraordinario amor por la gente con una visión de ministerio que él describía mejor que nadie: "Sin límite". Esta edición no solo incluye parte de los sermones escritos por John, sino también un prefacio y comentarios de su hijo, Joel; los principios de esta fe "sin límites" vienen a acompañar a una nueva generación. Para esos momentos de luchas y tentaciones que todos enfrentamos, esos momentos en que nos sentimos rodeados y atacados, el mensaje de John es sumamente simple -esos son precisamente los momentos para una fe inquebrantable. En este libro, John enseña a los creyentes de hoy las siete cualidades de una fe inquebrantable:1. Escucha y observa lo que el mundo no puede ver ni escuchar. 2. Ora fervientemente aunque ya hayas conseguido una respuesta. 3. Es más firme cuando no hay señales de la respuesta. 4. Siempre dice: «¡Vamos de nuevo!». 5. Sigue adelante aunque las señales de respuesta sean mínimas. 6. Cree en grande aunque parezca poco. 7. Empieza de la nada y termina haciendo cosas impresionantes por Dios.

The Sea Can Wash Away All Evils: Modern Marine Pollution and the Ancient Cathartic Ocean
by Kimberley Christine PattonKimberley Patton examines the environmental crises facing the world's oceans from the perspective of religious history. Much as the ancient Greeks believed, and Euripides wrote, that "the sea can wash away all evils," a wide range of cultures have sacralized the sea, trusting in its power to wash away what is dangerous, dirty, and morally contaminating. The sea makes life on land possible by keeping it "pure."Patton sets out to learn whether the treatment of the world's oceans by industrialized nations arises from the same faith in their infinite and regenerative qualities. Indeed, the sea's natural characteristics, such as its vast size and depth, chronic motion and chaos, seeming biotic inexhaustibility, and unique composition of powerful purifiers-salt and water-support a view of the sea as a "no place" capable of swallowing limitless amounts of waste. And despite evidence to the contrary, the idea that the oceans could be harmed by wasteful and reckless practices has been slow to take hold. Patton believes that environmental scientists and ecological advocates ignore this relationship at great cost. She bases her argument on three influential stories: Euripides' tragedy Iphigenia in Tauris; an Inuit myth about the wild and angry sea spirit Sedna who lives on the ocean floor with hair dirtied by human transgression; and a disturbing medieval Hindu tale of a lethal underwater mare. She also studies narratives in which the sea spits back its contents-sins, corpses, evidence of guilt long sequestered-suggesting that there are limits to the ocean's vast, salty heart. In these stories, the sea is either an agent of destruction or a giver of life, yet it is also treated as a passive receptacle. Combining a history of this ambivalence toward the world's oceans with a serious scientific analysis of modern marine pollution, Patton writes a compelling, cross-disciplinary study that couldn't be more urgent or timely.

The Sea Keeper's Daughters (A Carolina Heirlooms Novel #3)
by Lisa WingateGood Reads' Review: "Whitney is an independent Michigan restaurant owner, whose father committed suicide when Whitney was a child, and whose mother died from cancer only a few years previously. When Whitney receives word that her elderly, estranged, step-father who lives in the Outer Banks of North Carolina has a medical emergency, she travels to North Carolina to check on him, and to evaluate the vintage 'Excelsior' (waterfront property) that she will inherit when he passes away. As a young girl, Whitney had spent many summers at the Excelsior, under the critical instruction of her paternal grandmother, Ziltha Benoit, of southern high society. Now, as her grandmother is gone and her mother and father are both dead, she longs to learn about her family--particularly about the high society members of her family. After finding three important treasures squirreled away in the Excelsior, she finds and reads numerous letters written to her grandmother Ziltha by Ziltha's twin sister: a relative that Whitney had never known about. The letters provide important clues to the meaning of the items she found at the Excelsior, and after she eventually publishes the letters (which the writer had requested) Whitney uncovers startling facts that she never anticipated about the dynamics in her own family." Through these discoveries, Whitney learns about and experiences grace, forgiveness, love, and compassion which enable her to develop different values and priorities.

Seal Target Geronimo: The Inside Story of the Mission to Kill Osama Bin Laden
by Chuck PfarrerOn May 2, 2011, at 1:03 a.m. in Pakistan, a satellite uplink was sent from the town of Abbottabad crackling into the situation room of the White House in Washington, D.C.: "Geronimo, Echo, KIA." These words, spoken by a Navy SEAL, put paid to Osama bin Laden's three-decade-long career of terror. For ten years following 9/11, Bin Laden was the object of the most intense manhunt in modern history. This reclusive Saudi millionaire bankrolled a handpicked gang of jihadists who were determined to replace the governments of the world with a centralized Islamic regime. He ruled over a multifaceted empire of terror whose fanatics truck-bombed, hijacked, and murdered a bloody swath across four continents, killing men, women, and children. Three U. S. presidents vowed to bring him to justice. Intelligence organizations from a dozen nations sent agents after him. Finally, Osama bin Laden, the man who would have remade the world, was brought to bay--shot down as he cowered behind one of his own family members--by special warfare operators from the U. S. Navy's ultrasecret SEAL Team Six. SEAL Target Geronimo is the story of Bin Laden's relentless hunters and how they took down the terrorist mastermind, told by Chuck Pfarrer, a former assault element commander of SEAL Team Six and author of the bestselling Warrior Soul: The Memoir of a Navy SEAL. After talking to members of the SEAL team involved in the raid, Pfarrer shares never-before-revealed details of the historic raid and the men who planned and conducted it in an exclusive boots-on-the-ground account of what happened during each minute of the mission--both inside the building and outside. Pfarrer takes readers inside the operation as the SEAL's flew over the wall of Bin Laden's shabby, litter-strewn compound and then penetrated deeper and deeper into the terrorist's lair, telling us just what it looked, sounded, and smelled like in that sweltering Pakistani suburb. He takes us out to the courtyard to witness the near-disaster of the malfunctioning helicopter and brings us to the exact spot where the al-Qaeda leader was cowering when the bullet entered his head. SEAL Target Geronimo is an explosive story of unparalleled valor, clockwork military precision, and deadly accuracy carried out by the most elite fighting force in the world--the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six.

Sealed with an Oath: Covenant in God's Unfolding Purpose (New Studies in Biblical Theology #Volume 23)
by Paul R. WilliamsonPaul R. Williamson looks at the role of the covenant concept in Scripture and the meaning of this terminology. He then sets the idea of covenant in the context of God's universal purpose, and traces the idea through Noah and the patriarchs, the nation of Israel and the kingship of David. Lastly, he shows how the new covenant is anticipated in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New. In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Williamson offers new insights into key texts and issues related to the theme of covenant. He is not afraid to challenge established positions. One example is his dual-covenant approach to God's dealings with Abraham. His robust scholarship will be appreciated by scholars, lecturers and students in theology, ministers and all who have a serious interest in the covenant concept. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.
