No Greater Love: A Biblical Vision for Friendship
by Rebecca McLaughlinGreater love has no one than this: that he lay down his life for his friends. –John 15:13Our culture idolizes romance and the love of parents for their children. But Jesus said there was no greater love than sacrificial friendship love. What&’s more, He issued a command to His disciples that they live into this kind of love. Christian friendship isn&’t just a nice-to-have. It&’s vital. But it&’s also dangerous.Friends can pull us up when we&’re knocked down, embrace us with their love, and spur us on to follow Jesus better. But friends can also grind us to the ground, exploit, or invite us into sin.In No Greater Love, Rebecca McLaughlin walks us through the highs and lows of friendship love—a love that&’s been neglected and malnourished in our modern world. She draws especially on Jesus in the Gospels and on Paul to show how powerful and precious Christian friendship is and how we can walk through the hurt, loss, and disillusionment that comes from broken friendship trust. Beginning with the words of Jesus on the night he was betrayed and abandoned, she points us to His battle-tested love as the unending source of our best love for one another.Male or female, single or married, joyful or lamenting, lonely or embraced, we all need friendship love. This book will help us give and receive it in a way that calls us back to Jesus&’s commandment: that we love each other just like He loves us.

No honrarás a tu padre
by Gerardo Kleinburg"Por primera ocasión esos dos hombres, ese padre y ese hijo, él y yo, se contemplaban" Alejandro Roth contempla por primera vez el rostro de ese hombre. Lo tiene frente a frente en una sinagoga de la Ciudad de México. Con esta imagen arranca esta novela que traza la compleja e improbable trayectoria que llevó a ese hombre joven a encontrarse finalmente con su padre. A través de un incesante monólogo interior, el relato hará un recorrido desde la propia concepción de Alejandro, hasta ese momento extremo de anagnórisis, deteniéndose en su infancia, la relación con su madre, el descubrimiento de ser distinto de todos los demás, y el obsesivo anhelo de ser aceptado. Más que una novela acerca de la búsqueda del padre, este libro es una profunda e intensa reflexión acerca de qué es ser judío o no, hoy día. Una narración no exenta de ritos iniciáticos sui generis y provocadores, y con un giro inesperado que sacude al personaje central aún más que su propia historia.
