Today When You Hear His Voice: Scripture, the Covenants, and the People of God
by Gregory W. LeePresents a doctrine of Scripture based on Hebrews in dialogue with Augustine and Calvin What vision of biblical authority arises from Scripture&’s own use of Scripture? This question has received surprisingly little attention from theologians seeking to develop a comprehensive doctrine of Scripture. Today When You Hear His Voice by Gregory W. Lee fills this gap by listening carefully to the Epistle to the Hebrews. Lee illuminates the unique way that Hebrews appropriates Old Testament texts as he considers the theological relationship between salvation history and scriptural interpretation. He illustrates these dynamics through extended treatments of Augustine and Calvin, whose contrasting perspectives on the covenants, Israel, and the literal and figural senses provide theological categories for appreciating how Hebrews innovatively presents Scripture as God&’s direct address in the contemporary moment.

Todo lo que necesitas (Everything You Need, Spanish Edition): 8 pasos esenciales para una vida confiada en las promesas de Dios
by Dr David JeremiahMuchos cristianos se sienten poco preparados e inciertos cuando se trata de vivir cada día como seguidores de Cristo. A menudo sabemos lo que se supone que debemos hacer, e incluso por qué se supone que debemos hacerlo. Sin embargo, cuando nos falta confianza en nosotros mismos y en nuestro desarrollo espiritual, no podemos vivir audazmente para marcar la diferencia en nuestro mundo.Como uno de los principales maestros bíblicos del mundo, el Dr. David Jeremiah quiere que los lectores sepan que esta falta de confianza es innecesaria e inútil. De hecho, la Biblia deja claro que, de la misma manera que los excursionistas hábiles empacan todos los suministros necesarios antes de un viaje, Dios mismo equipa a todos los creyentes con todo lo que necesitan para caminar y trabajar con confianza como miembros de su reino.Todo lo que necesita continúa con el enfoque del Dr. Jeremiah de ayudar a la iglesia a luchar por la victoria espiritual a través de Cristo. Utilizando su profundidad, sabiduría y compasión distintivas, el Dr. Jeremiah explora 2 Pedro 1: 5–10 para resaltar siete herramientas críticas que Dios proporciona a cada uno: virtud, conocimiento, dominio propio, perseverancia, piedad, bondad fraternal y amor. Cuando usamos el equipo que Dios proporciona, podemos vivir con confianza sabiendo que nunca tropezaremos.

Together Under One Roof: Making a Home of the Buddha's Household
by Lin JensenIn Together Under One Roof, Lin Jensen turns his keen eye and powerful prose explicitly to the teachings of the Buddha, to traditional Zen stories, and to the practices of meditation and compassion--as well as the intricacies of everyday language and the natural world, truth and beauty, family, and the myriad ways our simplest actions affect our whole lives. His previous two works, memoirs of growing up and growing old and of the hard-won but gentle wisdom gained in his daily public meditations for peace, were both critical successes earning a special place in readers' hearts. This book takes up symphonic variations on one main theme: we are all "in it" together, we are all living under one roof--and there's always a glowing hearth right here in this, the Buddha's household.
