The modern church has become a comfortable place, as congregations focus on creating warm and welcoming environments. But have casual attitudes replaced reverence for the Lord?

Los salmos perduran. A lo largo de los siglos, los cristianos han leído, orado y cantado esta rica colección de poemas. Pero en nuestra era actual de distracción, los ritmos diarios de la vida moderna giran más en torno a las pantallas que a los textos bíblicos. Este libro sostiene que los salmos son poesía para el alma, poesía que nos moldea. Más allá de destacar la poesía del Salterio, el libro presta atención al peso teológico de estos poemas.

In the Bible Elijah is a zealous prophet, attacking idolatry and injustice, championing God. He performs miracles, restoring life and calling down fire. When his earthly life ends, he vanishes in a whirlwind, carried off to heaven in a fiery chariot. Was this a spectacular death, or did Elijah escape death entirely? The latter view prevailed. Though residing in heaven, Elijah revisits earth—to help, rescue, enlighten, and eventually herald the Messiah.

Il lager nazista è l'emblema più tragico del secolo appena finito; l'esperienza che più costringe noi contemporanei, e soprattutto noi europei, a riflettere sugli aspetti bui della condizione umana, sul male e le sue radici. In questa conversazione - terminata pochi mesi prima della morte di Levi - Ferdinando Camon e l'autore di Se questo è un uomo affrontano l'argomento in tutta la sua vastità, ciascuno alla luce delle proprie convinzioni e della propria formazione.

Prepared to be awed by our God. The books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Malachi are viewed by Biblical scholars as the Minor Prophets. Yet the insights and messages contained within these books are anything but minor. These prophets offer a unique, firsthand view of an all-powerful God who longs to intimately connect with His people. This study examines their personal stories to discover how He interacts with our world in truly amazing ways.

We all admire the hero. That person who’s celebrated for accomplishing big things in the face of even bigger odds. Yet heroes aren’t defined by their circumstances, but by their choices. They’re people who continually choose to serve others, even when no one is watching, and without expecting credit.
