(UN)Qualified: How God Uses Broken People to Do Big Things
by Steven FurtickWho You Think You Are is Not as Important as Who God Says You Are Many of us wrestle with the gap between our weaknesses and our dreams, between who we are and who God says we are meant to be. We feel unqualified to do God's work or to live out the calling we imagine. But God has a way of using our weaknesses for good. In fact, God loves unqualified people. In (Un)Qualified, Pastor Steven Furtick helps you peel back the assumptions you've made about yourself and see yourself as God sees you. Because true peace and confidence come not from worldly perfection but from acceptance: God's acceptance of you, your acceptance of yourself, and your acceptance of God's process of change. This is a book about understanding your identity in light of who God is. It's a book about coming to terms with the good, the bad, and the unmentionable in your life and learning to let God use you. It's about charging into the gap between your present and your hopes and meeting God there. After all, God can't bless who you pretend to be. But he longs to bless who you really are; a flawed and broken person. Good thing for us that God is in the business of using broken people to do big things. Being Unqualified Is God's Favorite Qualification Our culture tells us that the answer to our failures is to fix them. The solution to our weaknesses is to hide them. The secret to our success is to appear as flawless as possible. But God's qualifying system is different than the world's. So is his view of our weaknesses, our purpose, and our true selves. In (Un)Qualified, Steven Furtick explores who God is as the great "I AM," and then helps us discover our own identity. Delving into the story of Jacob, Furtick invites us to acknowledge our weaknesses and ask God to work through them. The truth is, God has created us to be more, to accomplish more, and to love life more than we ever thought possible. But to become who he has called us to be, we must embrace who we are right now. (Un)Qualified equips us to face obstacles and failures without losing a sense of purpose. We can have a thriving sense of hope that God is working in us and through us, not in spite of our weaknesses but often as a direct result of them.From the Hardcover edition.

Un remède théologique contre la crise environnementale: À la lumière de Jürgen Moltmann
by Joseph HabamahirweCe livre présente l’état actuel de la crise environnementale et offre des propositions pour l’empêcher. Les conférences internationales concernant l’environnement, comme celle à Rio en 1992, ont fait de bonnes politiques environnementales. Malheureusement, de telles politiques n’ont pas été suffisamment mises en œuvre. Cette situation reflète un manque d’intérêt de la part des pays développés aussi bien qu’un manque de ténacité des pays en voie de développement. Par conséquent, une telle ténacité est nécessaire afin de résoudre le problème apparemment intraitable de la pollution environnementale. Les Nations Unies ont établi un Programme Environnemental (PNUE) pour s’attaquer aux problèmes de l’environnement au niveau mondial. Il y a encore beaucoup à faire. Ce livre présente l’état actuel de la crise environnementale mondiale, ses causes et effets, à la fois pour les êtres humains et la nature elle-même. Il fait appel aux activistes de l’environnement, aux hommes de science, aux étudiants, aux conférenciers, aux chefs de l’Église et aux législateurs pour empêcher cette crise qui perdurerait pour des années à venir et se dégraderait au fur et à mesure si le monde n’arrive pas bientôt à une solution.
Un rimedio teologico alla crisi ambientale: Alla luce di Jürgen Moltmann
by Joseph HabamahirweLe conferenze internazionali sull'ambiente, come quella di Rio del 1992, hanno dato vita a buone politiche ambientali. Purtroppo, tali politiche non sono state attuate a sufficienza. Questa situazione riflette la mancanza di interesse da parte dei Paesi sviluppati e la mancanza di tenacia da parte dei Paesi in via di sviluppo. Per risolvere il problema apparentemente intrattabile dell'inquinamento ambientale è quindi necessaria una certa tenacia. Le Nazioni Unite hanno istituito un programma ambientale (UNEP) per affrontare i problemi ambientali a livello globale. Tuttavia, c'è ancora molto da fare. Questo libro presenta lo stato dell'attuale crisi ambientale globale, le sue cause e i suoi effetti, sia per gli esseri umani che per la natura stessa. Lancia un appello agli attivisti ambientali, agli scienziati, agli studenti, ai docenti, ai leader delle chiese e ai responsabili politici per fermare questa crisi che potrebbe protrarsi per molti anni a venire e peggiorare progressivamente se il mondo non troverà presto una soluzione.

Avant qu'il ne parte, un ange arrive dans le village et annonce à tous que Caleb est appelé à se rendre à Jérusalem pour se présenter devant Jésus, le Seigneur. Nerveux et ravi de l'aventure qui l'attend, il est heureux que de nouveaux amis lui proposent de l'accompagner. Ils montent sur un bateau fluvial dont le capitaine est John Newton, l'auteur de la chanson Amazing Grace.

En chemin, ils voient des dinosaures et des animaux intelligents. Ils rencontrent des personnes de tous âges et de toutes cultures. Lorsque l'on arrive au paradis, de nombreux souvenirs sont retenus jusqu'à ce que l'on soit prêt à les traiter, comme le jour du jugement ou les souvenirs douloureux du passé Le ciel sera éternel et rempli de croissance, d'apprentissage, d'aventures et d'objectifs. La nouvelle Jérusalem est entourée d'une haute muraille. Au centre de la ville, une tour de 80 km de large s'élève dans l'espace et est divisée en sept cents niveaux. Le niveau inférieur contient le jardin d'Eden. Il y a de nombreux escaliers qui mènent vers le haut avec des anges aidant le long du chemin. Chaque niveau a une leçon à donner. L'esprit de Dieu y est fort et beaucoup de gens dans le monde craignent les leçons à venir. Pour monter dans la tour, il faut se conquérir soi-même et se préparer à aller plus haut. Dieu et son trône sont au sommet. Caleb se souvient d'Anna, son amour perdu, et commence à la chercher, mais o

Un-Veiling Dichotomies: European Secularism and Women’s Veiling (Boundaries of Religious Freedom: Regulating Religion in Diverse Societies)
by Giorgia BaldiThis book analyzes the implication of secular/liberal values in Western and human rights law and its impact on Muslim women. It offers an innovative reading of the tension between the religious and secular spheres. The author does not view the two as binary opposites. Rather, she believes they are twin categories that define specific forms of lives as well as a specific notion of womanhood. This divergence from the usual dichotomy opens the doors for a reinterpretation of secularism in contemporary Europe. This method also helps readers to view the study of religion vs. secularism in a new light. It allows for a better understanding of the challenges that contemporary Europe now faces regarding the accommodation of different religious identities. For instance, one entire section of the book concerns the practice of veiling and explores the contentious headscarf debate. It features case studies from Germany, France, and the UK. In addition, the analysis combines a wide range of disciplines and employs an integrated, comparative, and inter-disciplinary approach. The author successfully brings together arguments from different fields with a comparative legal and political analysis of Western and Islamic law and politics. This innovative study appeals to students and researchers while offering an important contribution to the debate over the role of religion in contemporary secular Europe and its impact on women’s rights and gender equality.

Una Notte nell'Annwn: La strana storia dell’esperienza ai confini della morte del vecchio Willy Jones (Serie Annwn-Paradiso #1)
by Owen Jones Paola SambrunaAnnwn è l'antica parola gallese per il Paradiso e, come il Walhalla, era sotterraneo. Questo romanzo racconta la storia di Willy, un vecchio pastore delle colline gallesi, che dopo la morte della moglie si trascura e si lascia andare. Un giorno, mentre passeggia con il suo vecchio cane, questo muore e Willy si accascia colpito da un infarto per il dolore, benché avesse già da tempo perso la voglia di vivere. Si risveglia poi in ospedale e cerca di capire cosa gli sia successo. Ben presto capisce che la giovane infermiera è la moglie defunta, Sarah, e questo gli fa nascere il dubbio di essere morto. La cosa non lo spaventa, anzi: ne è ben felice. Trascorre alcuni 'giorni' con Sarah nell'Annwn, durante i quali lei lo guida e gli spiega come funzionano le cose 'in Paradiso'. E' meravigliato da tutto ciò che sente e vede, finché viene improvvisamente richiamato al suo corpo, senza preavviso. His body has been in hospital too, but in the physical world, and he awakes from an NDE (near-death experience). Anche il suo corpo è stato in ospedale, ma nel mondo fisico, dove si risveglia da un'esperienza di pre-morte. Ricomincia poi a vedere la moglie e i ricordi del tempo trascorso nell'Annwn riaffiorano. La sua vita cambia radicalmente ed egli si trova con una rinnovata voglia di vivere, collaborando con la moglie nell'Aldilà per il bene dei meno fortunati intorno a lui, finché un giorno giunge anche la sua ora ed è riunito con la moglie per l'eternità.
Una Nuova Creatura
by Gabriel AgboIn questo libro troverai capitoli rivelatori: se qualcuno è in Cristo, tradotto nel Regno di Dio, tu e lo Spirito Santo, doni dello Spirito Santo, santificato e giustificato, Vivere dallo Spirito, Una vita di impegno, Una vita di Patto con Dio, consigli su come vivere una vita cristiana di successo, ecc. Quindi un'altra domanda pertinente da porre prima di iniziare questo studio è: "Credi di essere un cristiano? In secondo luogo, “Cosa ti fa credere di essere cristiano? C'è stato un errore tra i cristiani da secoli che ritengono di essere cristiani perché appartengono a una denominazione cristiana o sono nati in una famiglia cristiana. Tuttavia nulla può essere più lontano dalla verità di ciò. Le Scritture dicono qualcosa di molto interessante: un cristiano è una nuova creatura. Se davvero sei un cristiano, quando sei diventato una nuova creatura? E dove sono i frutti? Prof. Gilbert Adimora

Unafraid: Moving Beyond Fear-Based Faith
by Benjamin L. CoreyThe creator of the popular Formerly Fundie blog on Patheos explains how the "American Christianity" we are currently taught is actually a fear-saturated distortion of biblical faith.Benjamin L. Corey thought he was suffering a crisis of faith, but it turned out to be a spiritual awakening. Corey became aware that the constant fear of hell and judgment that defined his Christian faith was out of sync with the idea that God acts from love, and promises to deliver us from fear. In the wake of this realization came newfound insights—from reading the Bible to re-examining American life and the church's role in the wider world. Corey learned that what he had been taught was a distorted version of Christianity that was not only untrue but caused real spiritual harm.He also discovered that he wasn’t alone. Many Christians are yearning to distinguish between the Christianity that has become a rigid American civil religion and the authentic Christian faith embodied in Jesus. As he recounts his own spiritual journey, Corey offers a powerful and inspiring message of hope for every Christian increasingly frustrated with the church today. Do not be discouraged, he assures them. You do not need to give up your faith; you can rediscover the reality of a vibrant Christianity that delivers us from fear and inspires and guides us all today.
Unafraid
by Susie DavisThough I don't know where your fears started or how deep they sit in your soul, I do know this: Fear is a heavy burden. One of the heaviest you can carry. It's exhausting and overwhelming. And it's not from God. --Susie Davis, Unafraid In 1978 Susie Davis watched as a thirteen-year-old classmate entered her classroom and killed her teacher. As a witness to one of the earliest school shootings in our nation, Susie faced years of paralyzing fear and an intense distrust of God. But God relentlessly pursued her and, over time, broke Susie's fear addiction. In Unafraid, Susie offers her hard-won insights about how we can trust God in the midst of our fears about violence, disease, and personal tragedy. With you, she asks, "How do we live unafraid? How do we remain aware of world events without giving in to fear? How do we make everyday choices to stop letting 'What if?' control us?" As Susie shows us, it is possible to break fear's grasp on our lives. We can be aware of the terrible without forgetting the beautiful. We can look up with joy and realize the remarkable truth: Jesus wants to take our fear and give us, in its place, true peace. Walk this liberating journey with her and learn what it means to live unafraid.
Unafraid: Living with Courage and Hope in Uncertain Times (Unafraid Ser.)
by Adam HamiltonFear is a complex emotion. Sometimes it saves us. More often it robs us of the life we want. But we can take our lives back. You'd be hard-pressed to overstate the extent to which fear, anxiety, and worry permeate our lives today. Fear wreaks havoc on our relationships and communities. It leads us into making bad decisions. It holds us back from the very pursuits that promise fulfillment and joy. Making matters worse, not a week goes by when some new threat or calamity isn't dominating the headlines. Why are there so many tragedies? we wonder. What will happen next?As the senior pastor of a large, diverse church in America's heartland, Adam Hamilton has seen the cost of fear up close. When he surveyed his congregation on how fear affects them, 2,400 people responded--and what they said was eye-opening. Eighty percent admitted to living with moderate or significant levels of fear.Unafraid: Living with Courage and Hope in Uncertain Times is Reverend Hamilton's insightful and impassioned response. Drawing on recent research, inspiring real-life examples, and fresh biblical insight, Hamilton shows how to untangle the knots we feel about disappointing others, failure, financial insecurity, loneliness, insignificance, and aging. Then he helps readers understand and counter fears related to such outsize perils as terrorism, death, and the apocalypse.Writing with generosity and intelligence, Hamilton shows how believer and unbeliever alike can develop sustaining spiritual practices and embrace Jesus's recurring counsel: "Do not be afraid." For anyone struggling with fear or wondering how families and communities can thrive in troubled times, Unafraid offers an informed and inspiring message full of practical solutions.
Unafraid: 365 Days Without Fear
by Gracie MaloneA 365-day devotional that will encourage and help readers overcome the fear that consumes, disturbs, and paralyzes them.To live without fear is one of the most challenging goals you can make in your life. Fear lurks in the deep recesses of the human heart and surprises even the most mature Christian. There are over 400 instances in the Bible of God telling His children to not be afraid. If repetition of a matter has anything to do with importance, God decided this was a big one. But rather than being a command or admonition, the tone spoken in turn by God, angels, and disciples is compelling and encouraging, like a parent comforting a fearful child. In UNAFRAID, Gracie Malone brings light, a touch of humor, stories, quotes, prayers, and encouragement to everyone who is fighting to trust in the only One who can take their fear away.

Unamuno, Berdyaev, Marcel: A Comparative Study in Christian Existentialism
by C. A. LonghurstThis book seeks to examine the mutual interplay between existentialism and Christian belief as seen through the work of three existentialist thinkers who were also committed Christians - a Spaniard (Miguel de Unamuno), a Russian (Nikolai Berdyaev), and a Frenchman (Gabriel Marcel). They are compared with each other and with leading non-religious existentialists. The major themes studied include reason, freedom, the self, belief, hope, love, suffering, and immortality.
Unamuno's Religious Fictionalism (Palgrave Frontiers in Philosophy of Religion)
by Alberto OyaThis book provides a coherent and systematic analysis of Miguel de Unamuno’s notion of religious faith and the reasoning he offers in defense of it. Unamuno developed a non-cognitivist Christian conception of religious faith, defending it as being something which we are all naturally lead to, given our (alleged) most basic and natural inclination to seek an endless existence. Illuminating the philosophical relevance this conception still has to contemporary philosophy of religion, Oya draws connections with current non-cognitivist notions of religious faith in general, and with contemporary religious fictionalist positions more particularly. The book includes a biographical introduction to Miguel de Unamuno, as well as lucid and clear analyses of his notions of the ‘tragic feeling of life’, his epistemological paradigm, and his naturally founded religious fictionalism. Revealing links to current debates, Oya shows how the works of Unamuno are still relevant and enriching today
