Hay algo más: El secreto para experimentar el poder de Dios que cambiará su vida
by Randy Clark¿Qué tal si "más" es bíblico? ¿Incluso esencial? Dios no es un DIos de limosnas cuidadosamente medidas. El anhela darle más, tanto como usted esté dispuesto a recibir. Más amor. Más poder. Más fe. Más gozo. Más resultados en la oración. Con su peculiar perspicacia y motivación, Randy Clark explica que "más" no es sólo bíblico, sino indispensable para dar mayores frutos en el servicio y el ministerio. Además, comparte cómo puede accesar lo que Dios quiere darle. Todo comienza con la gracia. La gracia es más que recibir la vida eterna. Es la forma en que experimentamos la presencia y el poder de Dios en nuestras vidas, y cómo Él nos da el poder para hacer más de lo que imaginamos. Él quiere darle más. Quiere que usted sea una vaso de su gloria. Él quiere llenarle con su Espíritu y sus dones. ¿Acepta el reto?
Hay mucho más sobre El secreto: Un examen al libro de gran éxito de Rhonda Byrne, El secreto
by Ed GungorLa ley de la atracción sostiene que uno puede gozar de buena salud, riquezas o cualquier relación deseada si se entrena a la mente a producir pensamientos continuos que la atraigan a su vida. Aunque hay algo de cierto en el hecho de que tendemos a convertirnos en lo que pensamos (el apóstol Pablo nos enseñó eso), la representación que hace la filosofía de la nueva era de mostrar al "individuo como Dios" es una posición peligrosa de sostener.En este libro que acompaña al revuelo causado en los medios de comunicación, Ed Gungor trata de establecer una representación más completa y precisa del poder de la mente explicando el papel obvio que desempeña Dios en la ecuación. Este libro no está escrito para atacar a publicaciones recientes sino para corregir su consejo equivocado y a la vez dirigirse a la gran necesidad que está causando que millones de personas estén explorando sus páginas.
Hayim Nahman Bialik: Poet of Hebrew (Jewish Lives)
by Prof. Avner HoltzmanA moving inquiry into the dramatic life, epic success, and ultimate tragedy of the great Hebrew poet By the time he was twenty-eight, Hayim Nahman Bialik was already considered the National Hebrew Poet. He had only published a single collection, but his deeply personal poetry established a profound link between the secular and the traditional that would become paramount to a national Jewish identity in the twentieth century. When he died unexpectedly in 1934, the outpouring of grief was unprecedented, confirming him as a father figure for the Zionist movement in Palestine, and around the world. Using extensive research and elegant readings of Bialik's poems, Avner Holtzman investigates the poet's dramatic life, complex personality, beloved verse, and continued popularity. This clear-eyed and thorough biography explores how Bialik overcame intense personal struggles to become a charismatic literary leader at the core of modern Hebrew culture.

He Began With Eve
by Joyce Landorf"HE BEGAN WITH EVE tells the vivid stories of five women of the Old Testament: Eve, who was not only the first woman, but also the first wife, the first mother... Jochebed, the mother of Moses... Rahab, the harlot of Jerico, who was rewarded by Joshua for having saved the Hebrew spies whom he sent into the city... Abigail, the resourceful wife who saved her foolish husband from his own mistakes... and Bathsheba, the restless young wife whose beauty became an irresistable temptation to the great King David. These women, Mrs. Landorf tells us, are not "traditional" Bible heroines; but each of them, in their own times and in their own ways, faced some of the same struggles Christian women face today. And in their vivid stories she helps us understand and apply the lessons they learned to our own lives." Though these are biblical women, most of the material of these accounts about them are fictional stories based on Landorf's speculations of the character and circumstances based on these biblical records.

He Came First: Following Christ to Spiritual Breakthrough
by Rod ParsleyAsk any person to name the first man to walk on the moon, and most can tell you it was Neil Armstrong. And almost anyone could tell you Charles Lindberg made the first solo transatlantic flight. Few would know that Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first successfully scaled Mt. Everest, but our admiration is no less because we don't remember their names. As a society, we reward, revere, and respect firsts and the courageous men and women who achieve them. Rod Parsley calls these individuals breakers."Breakers look at barriers as merely building blocks to further feats of achievement," Parsley writes. "They refuse to take life at face value, believing that greatness lies beyond the next barrier. With fierce determination and fearless courage, they break through what others believed was impenetrable."Parsley contends that God is raising a modern generation of breakers to achieve His purposes. We have the perfect model in Jesus Christ, the "First of all firsts" who shattered the barrier between divinity and humanity, proving Himself to be "the Breaker who goes before us." Through Scripture and insight, Rod Parsley passionately urges Christians to break out in obedience and become modern-day Samsons, Deborahs, Esthers, and Stephens.

He Chose the Nails Study Guide: What God Did to Win Your Heart
by Max LucadoEvery gift from God reveals his love, but no gift reveals his love more than the gifts of the cross. These gifts came not wrapped in paper but in passion. They were not placed around a tree but around a cross. They were not covered with ribbons but sprinkled with the blood that Christ shed on our behalf. In this five-session video Bible study, Max Lucado explores the many gifts that Christ provided to us at his crucifixion. These include not only the gift of the cross, but also the gift of the thorns that pierced his brow. The nails that tore his flesh. The seamless robe that he removed for us. The empty tomb where he forever defeated sin and death. The hill of the cross is rich with the gifts of God's grace. These were gifts he didn't have to give. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet God did so much more. So, as we unwrap these gifts, we need to pause and listen for his voice. As we do, perhaps we will hear him whisper, "I did it just for you." The He Chose Study Guide includes video discussion questions, Bible exploration, personal study and reflection materials for in-between sessions, and an additional session for churches and small groups using this study as part of Lent. Session Titles: 1. He Chose to Be One of Us 2. He Chose to Forgive Us 3. He Chose to Invite Us into His Presence 4. He Chose to Love Us Forever 5. He Chose to Give Us Victory Optional Session: He Chose to Give Us Confidence Designed for use with He Chose the Nails: A DVD Study (9780310687849).
