Follow the Cloud: Hearing God's Voice One Next Step at a Time
by John SticklECPA BESTSELLER • There is a big difference between being set free and living free. How do I know what to do with my life? How do I hear God&’s voice? Maybe the answer is easier than we think. When God led the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land, He gave them a cloud to follow. He led them in an intimately personal, ever-present way one next step at a time. He led them without revealing the whole picture because he wanted them to follow by faith. In Follow the Cloud, Pastor John Stickl uses this image to ask, &“What if we stopped letting obligation drive us and instead let grace lead us? What if instead of focusing on our faithfulness toward God, we focus on God&’s faithfulness toward us?&” The cloud of God&’s presence is moving in your life right now. Maybe God is inviting you to follow him to a new career or relationship. Maybe he is inviting you to extend forgiveness, share your story, or give up your addiction. Whatever your next step is, God is leading you to discover who you are, who he is, and what you were created to do. He is inviting you to a life of freedom. Inviting you home - one step at a time.

Following Jesus Christ: The New Testament Message of Discipleship for Today
by John K. GoodrichA Comprehensive Guide to Discipleship in the New Testament and Today's WorldAlthough the concept of discipleship is an integral part of New Testament teaching, it has largely faded from discussion in both the academy and the local church. To revive and reclaim this teaching for believers in the twenty-first century, editors John Goodrich and Mark Strauss have assembled an expert team of scholars to uncover what every New Testament book teaches about discipleship, providing a comprehensive, biblical picture. In addition, other contributors explore discipleship in the context of the local church, spiritual formation, and the life of the mind. Together, these essays point the way forward for becoming more like Jesus Christ, and helping others do the same, in our personal and corporate lives."An impressive roster of scholars who have addressed a vital but often neglected topic in both the church and in the academy. . . . Rich with insight, Following Jesus Christ represents a major advance in this essential area of study." --Craig A. Evans, Houston Baptist University"We are treated here to a survey of what discipleship means in the New Testament from experts in the field, and we also see some of the wider dimensions of discipleship in this important work. All those wanting to understand discipleship will find this to be a valuable resource." --Thomas R. Schreiner, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
Following Jesus: Finding Our Way Home in an Age of Anxiety
by Henri J. Nouwen&“Timeless wisdom for life from one of the great spiritual masters of our age.&”—James Martin, S.J., author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage The beloved author of The Return of the Prodigal Son offers an inspirational and compelling case for why Christianity is still relevant, beautiful, intelligent, and necessary in our modern world. At one of the lowest points in Henri Nouwen&’s life, he gave a series of lectures on the importance of following Jesus in an age of anxiety. Drawn from those talks, Following Jesus reveals the deep turmoil and sometimes turbulent inner life of a man who has become an icon of compassion and vulnerability for Christians and non-Christians alike. He writes eloquently about calling and purpose, fear and hope, and he explains why, with so many choices available to the twenty-first-century seeker, including atheism and secularism, the greatest reward for those looking for fulfillment is to choose belief in God. Along the way he offers warm, insightful, and practical spiritual habits to help readers navigate the narrow, sometimes arduous, but ultimately gratifying road of conviction and faith. Praise for Following Jesus &“Few writers have influenced me more than Henri Nouwen. These newly published lectures offer fresh and timely insights amid the familiar cadences of Nouwen&’s prose, written from a place of deep anxiety but even deeper hope.&”—John Inazu, professor of political science, Washington University in St. Louis, author of Confident Pluralism&“In Following Jesus, beloved pastor and spiritual mentor Henri Nouwen guides the reader on the journey he has traveled as a follower of Jesus. Without minimizing the anxieties, fears, and brokenness that touch down in every reader&’s story, Nouwen gently leads the way into a life that centers on Jesus and engulfs the follower with God&’s love, a sense of belonging, and a purpose that endures. Truly a wise and welcome word for anyone in this age of anxiety.&”—Carolyn Custis James, author of Half the Church: Recapturing God&’s Global Vision for Women and Finding God in the Margins
Following the Red Bird: First Steps into a Life of Faith
by Kate RademacherIn Following the Red Bird, Kate Rademacher describes how she came to embrace a relationship with God after maintaining a pick-and-choose approach to spirituality for many years. Raised in a staunchly secular, liberal community, Christianity was never a path she had seriously considered. Married to a devout Buddhist, Rademacher was sitting on a cushion at her husband’s meditation center one day when Jesus appeared unexpectedly in her consciousness and called her to follow him. She was baptized a year later to the day. Part memoir and part meditation on Christian teachings, Following the Red Bird: First Steps into a Life of Faith explores not only the why of Christianity, but also the how. How do we learn to listen for God’s voice? How do we apply Christian teachings to everyday life? How do we develop and sustain a relationship with Jesus? The image from the book’s title becomes a metaphor for the ways Rademacher slowly discovers answers to these questions as she stumbles into a new life in the church. Both the searcher and the long-time believer will benefit from her experience and insight.

Food Yoga: Nutrire Corpo, Mente e Anima
by Paul Rodney TurnerProprio come gli esseri umani, anche gli animali provano dolore. Certo, non avranno il tipo di intelligenza necessario per costruire un grattacielo, ma sono dotati di intelligenza e provano emozioni, sono vivi, respirano e sono esseri senzienti proprio come lo siamo noi. Infatti, tutte le creature, dagli insetti alle piante, ai microorganismi marini, agli innumerevoli organismi unicellulari che esistono in ogni dove, hanno uno scopo ben preciso. Il collegamento è il motore della vita. Tutto è interconnesso. Niente è veramente autosufficiente. Così come acqua ed aria sono inseparabili, così lo è l’interdipendenza di tutti gli esseri venti. Siamo tutti uniti nella vita per la nostra sopravvivenza sulla Terra. La condivisione è tutto. La consapevolezza dell’unità che incorpora tutte le forme di vita è il fondamento di una società veramente umana. Il documentario HOME[1] lo riassume in questo modo: “La Terra si basa su un equilibrio in cui ogni essere vivente ha un ruolo da svolgere, ed esiste solo grazie all’esistenza di un altro essere vivente – un’impercettibile e fragile armonia che è facilmente compromessa.” L’accettazione di questa interdipendenza e il bisogno di equilibrio e gratitudine costituiscono l’essenza stessa del FOOD YOGA. Il nostro viaggio comincia nell’ambito della scienza molecolare e della fisica quantistica e stabilisce il fatto che il cibo, come tutto in questo mondo, sia essenzialmente solo un’altra forma di energia. Ciononostante, questa consapevolezza spesso sfugge a noi esseri umani o perché siamo troppo occupati a consumare cibo per preoccuparcene; o perché siamo privi dell’acuta percezione sensoriale necessaria per accorgercene; il che si traduce in una quasi inesistente percezione dello spettro elettromagnetico. Così come il cibo, anche i nostri pensieri sono una forma di energia, e possono quindi influenzare il cibo che consumiamo, nello
