by Eileen FlanaganAt age forty-nine, Eileen Flanagan had an aching feeling that she wasn&’t living up to her potential—or her youthful ideals.

Renewable: One Woman&’s Search for Simplicity, Faithfulness, and Hope is the story of a spiritual writer and mother of two who, while trying to change the world, unexpectedly finds the courage to change her life.

You are not alone. God sees your pain. He knows your hurts. And he is waiting to bind up your broken heart. This forty-day journey into the healing love of Jesus will help you find the courage to stop hiding and start loving the church again.

Renueva tu mente: Una perspectiva bíblica del mundo y de la vida
by Miguel NúñezComo creyentes, queremos vivir lo que creemos, pero ¿qué se nos hace tan difícil lograrlo? En Renueva tu mente, el pastor Miguel Núñez nos da el secreto de vivir en medio de la voluntad de Dios y gozar de la plenitud de vida de la cual Cristo nos habló.¿Por qué existe la dicotomía entre lo que el cristiano profesa cuando está en la iglesia y la manera cómo vive el resto de la semana? Porque en realidad, no es lo que profesamos lo que determina cómo vivimos, sino es la manera en que pensamos lo que determina la manera en que vivimos. La pregunta que surge de inmediato es: «¿Cómo lo hago?», «¿Cómo cambiar lo que pienso y vivir lo que creo?». En Renueva tu mente, el pastor Miguel Núñez explica cómo es posible renovar tu mente y lograr una perspectiva bíblica del mundo y de la vida.Renueva tu mente empieza con conceptos fundamentales de la importancia de tener una propia cosmovisión y entendimiento básico de la apologética o cómo defender tu fe.La segunda sección del libro nos presenta preguntas fundamentales que todo creyente debe saber responder:¿De dónde vengo?¿Para qué estoy aquí?¿Quién soy?¿Qué es bueno y qué es malo?¿Creó Dios el mal?¿Para dónde voy?El libro concluye con aplicaciones fundamentales de cómo vivir para tener el máximo impacto en el mundo.El pastor Miguel Núñez te invita a leer con atención este libro, pero al mismo tiempo, quiere desafiarte a que te dejes examinar por las verdades bíblicas que leerás. También te anima a que reemplaces, de una vez y para siempre, cada mentira que tengas asentada en tu corazón con la verdad correspondiente revelada por Dios en su Palabra.El resultado será la verificación de la voluntad de Dios que es buena, aceptable y perfecta. Si al descubrir dicha voluntad decides vivirla, habrás encontrado el secreto de la plenitud de vida de la cual habló Cristo.Renew Your MindAs believers, we want to live what we believe, but why is it so difficult for us to do so? In Renew Your Mind, Pastor Miguel Núñez gives us the secret to live in the midst of God&’s will and enjoy the fullness of life Christ spoke to us about.Why is there a dichotomy between what the Christian professes when he is in church and the way he lives the rest of the week? Because in reality, it is not what we profess that determines how we live, but rather, it is the way we think that determines the way we live. The question that immediately arises is &“How do I do it?&”, &“How do I change what I think and live what I believe?&” In Renew Your Mind, Pastor Miguel Núñez explains how it is possible to renew your mind and gain a biblical perspective on the world and life.Renew Your Mind begins with fundamental concepts of the importance of having your own basic worldview and understanding of apologetics or how to defend your faith.The second section of the book presents us with fundamental questions that every believer must know how to answer:Where do I come from?What am I here for?Who am I?What is good and what is bad?Did God create evil?Where am I going?
¡Renuévate! (Do the New You): Seis mentalidades que te convertirán en el ser que fuiste creado
by Steven FurtickEsa versión ideal de ti no es imaginaria en absoluto. En realidad, es tu ser auténtico el que intenta abrirse paso. Tampoco es una versión futura de ti mismo lo que tienes que perseguir. El verdadero tú puede ser nuevo para ti, pero no lo es para Dios. Es el ser que Él conoció desde el principio. En ¡Renuévate!, el pastor y autor de éxitos de ventas del New York Times, Steven Furtick, habla directamente del desafío de vivir la identidad y el llamado que Dios nos ha dado. En este reciente libro, él explora y analiza seis mentalidades prácticas que todos podemos adoptar para pasar de ser quienes somos hoy a donde Dios nos quiere llevar. Estas seis afirmaciones son verdades sobre ti mismo que puedes expresarlas en cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar: • No estoy estancado, a menos que me detenga. • Cristo está en mí, por lo que soy suficiente. • Con Dios, siempre hay un camino y por la fe lo encontraré. • Dios no está en mi contra; Él está conmigo, obrando a través de mí y peleando por mí. • Estar alegre es mi tarea. • Dios me ha dado todo lo que necesito para la temporada en la que estoy. Estas frases sencillas, poderosas y memorables cambiarán tu enfoque, tus sentimientos y tus acciones para alinearlos con la visión que Dios tiene de ti. Dios no solo te está llamando a ser tú mismo.

Do you ever get a glimpse of a version of you that doesn't quite exist yet - but something in you believes it could? The happier, kinder, less stressed, more courageous you? The ideal version of you isn't imaginary at all. It's actually the authentic you trying to break through. God knows the potential he placed inside of you, even if you don&’t yet. Accepting yourself as you are doesn't mean giving up on the possibility of growing into even greater things. And as you do, you meet the true you - the new you. And it may be new to you, but it&’s not new to God. It's the you he knew all along. In Do the New You, bestselling author and pastor Steven Furtick speaks directly to the challenge of living out your God-given identity and calling.

I am enough. • With God there's always a way and by faith I will find it. • God is not against me, but he's in it with me, working through me, fighting for me. • My joy is my job. • God has given me everything I need for the season I&’m in. These simple, powerful, memorable phrases will shift your focus, feelings, and actions to align with God&’s vision of you. God isn&’t just calling you to do you.

Resentment's Virtue: Jean Amery and the Refusal to Forgive
by Thomas BrudholmMost current talk of forgiveness and reconciliation in the aftermath of collective violence proceeds from an assumption that forgiveness is always superior to resentment and refusal to forgive. Victims who demonstrate a willingness to forgive are often celebrated as virtuous moral models, while those who refuse to forgive are frequently seen as suffering from a pathology. Resentment is viewed as a negative state, held by victims who are not "ready" or "capable" of forgiving and healing. Resentment's Virtue offers a new, more nuanced view. Building on the writings of Holocaust survivor Jean Améry and the work of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Thomas Brudholm argues that the preservation of resentment can be the reflex of a moral protest that might be as permissible, humane or honorable as the willingness to forgive. Taking into account the experiences of victims, the findings of truth commissions, and studies of mass atrocities, Brudholm seeks to enrich the philosophical understanding of resentment.
Reset: How This Crisis Can Restore Our Values and Renew America
by Kurt Andersen"This is the end of the world as we've known it," Kurt Andersen writes in Reset. "But it isn't the end of the world." In this smart and refreshingly hopeful book, Andersen--a brilliant analyst and synthesizer of historical and cultural trends, as well as a bestselling novelist and host of public radio's Studio 360--shows us why the current economic crisis is actually a moment of great opportunity to get ourselves and our nation back on track. Historically, America has always shifted between wild, exuberant speculation and steady, sober hard work, as well as back and forth between economic booms and busts, and between right and left politically. This is one of the rare moments when all these cycles shift dramatically and simultaneously--a moment when complacency ends, ossified structures loosen up, and enormous positive change is possible. The shock to the system can enable each of us to rethink certain habits and focus more on the things that make us authentically happy. The present flux can enable us as a society to consolidate the enormous gains of the last several decades in areas such as technology, crime prevention, women's and civil rights, and the democratization of the planet. We can reap the fruits of a revival of realism and pragmatism at home and abroad. As we enter a new era of post-party-line common sense, we can start to reinvent hopelessly broken systems-in health care, education, climate change, and more-and rediscover some of the old-fashioned American values of which we've lost sight. In Reset, Andersen explains how we've done it before and why we are about to do it again--and better than ever.

Because if we're going to really benefit from the radical shift of 2020, we have to rethink how we fit into an ecosystem. Elizabeth started with a simple desire to explore our relationship with work, and how it was impacting our lives. It became clear if we want to reset how we work as individuals, we're going to need to reset the work culture we exist in, the businesses we work for, the communities we're a part of, the cities we live in and the society we can shape. We can't just rethink one strand of society; we need to rethink everything together. It's time for a Reset. The Reset is a short, digestible book for people who want to work better, and live better. Elizabeth addresses our urge to work differently, to work in a way that suits more parts of our lives. It's optimistic, positive and provocative, offering fresh perspectives on the way we live now, and a punchy idea for how we might live in the future.
