Diez hombres de la Biblia: Cómo Dios usó gente imperfecta para cambiar el mundo
by Max Lucado¿Por qué Dios escogió a estos hombres?Los hombres descritos en la Biblia no eran perfectos en lo absoluto. Encontramos muchas historias marcadas por el escándalo, el fracaso y la intriga. Noé bebía demasiado. Job pensó que sabía más que Dios. Moisés asesinó a un hombre. David cometió adulterio. José arriesgó su reputación. Mateo era recolector de impuestos. Lázaro… murió. Pedro traicionó a Cristo. Pablo mató a los seguidores de Jesús.Sin embargo, también estos mismos hombres fueron capaces de mirar más allá de sus circunstancias, confiar en el Señor y seguirlo dondequiera que él les llevase. Al igual que nosotros, estos hombres tomaron buenas y malas decisiones, y asumieron las consecuencias. Podemos ver nuestras luchas y esperanzas en las páginas de la Biblia que narran sus historias.En este libro de diez sesiones, Max Lucado narra algunas de sus historias favoritas de estos diez hombres, y describe lo que les hace únicos.Cada lección incluye:Cinco estudios bíblicos profundos que te ayudarán a navegar las historias a través de las EscriturasResumen que te ayudará a recordar los puntos más importante de cada unoOraciones diarias para ayudarte a enfocar tus pensamientos e iniciar tu tiempo de meditaciónVersículos semanales para memorizar y ayudarte a guardar la Palabra de Dios en tu corazónDiez hombres de la Biblia es ideal para el uso individual y para pequeños grupos de estudio.The men depicted in the Bible were not perfect by any means. We find story after story marked by scandal, failure, and intrigue. Yet we also find many stories of men who were able to look beyond their circumstances, completely trust in the Lord, and follow Him wherever He chose to them. Like us, these men made both good and bad decisions along the way—and experienced both good and bad consequences—and we find our struggles and hopes in the pages of the Bible that tells their stories.In this 10-session workbook, Max Lucado tells some of his favorite stories of these men in the Bible. Each session includes five insights on each character and Bible study questions to help you delve into the stories and apply them to your life.
Diez mujeres de la Biblia: Una a una cambiaron el mundo
by Max Lucado Jenna Lucado BishopUn estudio bíblico de 10 secciones en el que Max Lucado le lleva a conocer a profundidad a 10 mujeres de la Biblia y lo que se puede aprender de sus experiencias.Ni siquiera sabemos algunos de sus nombres. A algunas se las menciona sólo por su nacionalidad. A otras se las conoce sólo por el lugar en donde vivían. Algunas llegarían a ser reinas, en tanto que otras vivirían en los márgenes de la sociedad. Una daría luz a una nación, y otra daría a luz al Mesías. A menudo se pasa por alto su cultura o se resta la importancia a las contribuciones de las mujeres, y sin embargo los escritores de las Escrituras hallaron a estas mujeres y el papel que ellas cumplieron asombrosamente para narrar la historia de Dios.Al estudiar las vidas de las mujeres de la Biblia hallamos verdades importantes que Dios quiere que captemos. Vivieron en un mundo diferente al nuestro, pero nosotros enfrentamos las mismas circunstancias que ellas. Y sin embargo, incluso más, estas mujeres nos muestran que hay un Dios que nos ve, y ve dónde estamos, y nos ama por lo que somos. Es el que se cierne sobre todas las páginas de la Biblia, forjando vidas, rescatando corazones, sanando enfermedades, revivificando a la vida lo que estuvo muerto, y asignando altas vocaciones a los que escogen seguirle y tienen fe en él.En este cuaderno de trabajo de 10 sesiones, Max Lucado relata algunas de las experiencias favoritas de estas 10 mujeres: Sara, Abigaíl, Ester, la samaritana, María Magdalena y otras, y describe lo que las distinguió.CADA SESIÓN INCLUYE:50 estudios bíblicos a profundidad para ayudarle a estudiar los relatos bíblicosPuntos diarios para recordar, para ayudarle a resumir los puntos claveOraciones diarias para ayudarle a concentrar sus pensamientos y avanzar en su tiempo de quietudVersículos semanales para memorizar para ayudarle a guardar en su corazón la palabra de DiosNotas adicionales para ayudarle a dirigir a un grupo en este estudioDiez Mujeres de la Biblia es ideal para uso individual o de un grupo pequeño.

Different Learners
by Jane M. Healy"My child is having trouble in school. What should I do?" When parents are told that their child is having difficulty in school, they often don't know where to turn for reliable information and advice. They may be confused by conflicting claims of "cures" or may mistakenly think that, because some learning problems are genetically based, they can do nothing to help. Even the terminology of learning disorders is confusing: dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADD, ADHD, autism, Asperger's syndrome, NVLD, executive function disorder--what are all these conditions, how do they differ from one another and, most important, what practical steps should parents and teachers take to remedy the situation? This comprehensive, practical guide to children's learning problems should be the first resource parents and teachers reach for when a child shows signs of difficulty in academic, social, or behavioral learning. Drawing on her decades of experience, educator Jane Healy offers understandable explanations of the various types of learning disorders. She distills the latest scientific research on brains, genes, and learning as she explains how to identify problems--even before they are diagnosed--and how to take appropriate remedial action at home, at school, and in the community. Today's fast-paced, stressed-out culture is hazardous to growing minds, says Healy, and a growing "epidemic" of children's disorders is the result. Different Learners offers a complete program not only for treating the child, but also for making more beneficial lifestyle choices at home and improving teaching techniques at school. It shows parents and caregivers how to prevent some learning difficulties from ever happening in the first place. It explains how to have your child evaluated if necessary, and, if a problem is found, how to evaluate various treatments. Different Learners explains how medications for attention and learning work in the brain and why they should not be the first step in most treatment programs. It shows how schools can actually worsen a child's learning difficulties and how to make sure this doesn't happen to your child. It even offers a program for "brain-cleaning" that will help any child perform better in school. Jane Healy draws on stories of real children to offer sympathetic as well as practical advice for children--and parents--who are struggling in an overstressed environment. She provides reassurance that parents and teachers can have dramatically positive effects on every child's ability to learn.
