La obra está compuesta por doce secciones, una para cada hijo de Jacob: Rubén, Simeón, Leví, Judá, Isacar, Zabulón, Dan, Neftalí, Gad, Aser, José y Benjamín. En cada testamento, el patriarca respectivo —ya anciano y próximo a la muerte— convoca a sus hijos y les transmite una serie de exhortaciones, confesiones personales, advertencias, consejos morales y, en algunos casos, profecías acerca del futuro de su tribu y del pueblo de Israel en general.

Do you view the Bible as a gift to open or a burden to carry? God—the source of every good and perfect gift—offers abundant promises in Scripture. But sometimes, studying his word feels more burdensome than rewarding. In order to delight in the Bible, believers should anticipate all of the blessings it contains, from the reassuring to the unexpected.

In this book, you will learn how to confront your deepest questions about God's silence, suffering, and sovereignty with truth, honesty, and renewed faith. In Holy Ghosted, Autumn Miles explores these honest, heart-wrenching cries through the lens of Job's story. Even though Job was the most righteous man on earth, he faced profound suffering and asked God the same questions you may be asking now. How Job's story gives permission to question without shame. What God's silence means―and doesn't mean―in seasons of suffering.

Unwavering Faithfulness provides an accessible guide to Isaiah, helping contemporary audiences grasp both the uncompromising demands of God's holiness and God's unshakable faithfulness to covenant relationship and desire to bring about a good future for God's people. Isaiah is a dramatic book of prophecy and oracles that sweeps through the histories of Israel's kings and dealings with surrounding nations, levying judgment but also offering the hope of restoration, blessing, and shalom.

For 3,000 years, people of faith have found meaning and comfort in the 23rd Psalm. This widely known song has had an impact across time and culture. But in the twenty-first century, this psalm appears idle. For many, it only serves as a short reading at the end of funerals. How did this happen?

Psalm 23 is one of the most recognizable passages in the whole Bible. Though relatively short, this poetic depiction of God's love epitomizes Christ's goodness and provision as he leads his children. Even lifelong Christians will find fresh encouragement by closely studying these familiar words. David Gibson walks through each verse in Psalm 23, thoroughly examining its 3 depictions of the believer's union with Christ as sheep and shepherd, traveler and companion, and guest and host.

Considerada uma das obras mais importantes e mais lidas pelos cristãos, Imitação de Cristo busca florescer a espiritualidade na vida de quem decide seguir a Jesus. Muitos acreditam ser a obra mais bela escrita depois da Bíblia, pois de maneira simples Tomas de Kempis cria uma pedagogia crista explorando o mais profundo do ser humano e todas as suas limitações e os desejos mais secretos de seus corações.

Nurit stieg auf den Hügelkamm und drehte sich nach Sodom zu. In ihren tränenvollen Augen spiegelten sich die Flammen der brennenden Stadt. Die Mauern brachen ein, wie eine Flutwolke raste eine Aschewolke auf sie zu. Nurit schloss die Augen und breitete die Arme aus. Dann wurde sie von Schwärze überschwemmt.

Will I have enough? Am I enough? Do I matter? Deep in our souls is an ache that longs to be noticed, filled, transformed. And that ache boils down to these three fundamental questions. The extraordinary thing is that we find the answers to all three questions in the temptations of Christ. As Jesus faces the wilderness, the core needs of every human being are on display: the ache to be secure, to be approved of, to have some control over our lives. But the ways that we are tempted to fill these needs inevitably fail.

Vivemos dias em que a fé cristã tem crescido e se espalhado grandemente. Mas temos que reconhecer que esse avanço tem acontecido a uma velocidade muito maior do que a capacidade de a Igreja amadurecer. Com isso, a maneira de Deus agir nem sempre corresponde às nossas expectativas. Mesmo imaturos, imaginamos que podemos entender a maneira como Deus determina sua vontade. Tentamos encontrar respostas para tudo, como se nosso raciocínio limitado pudesse esquadrinhar a mente do Senhor. Se algo acontece com alguém, sabemos o porquê; se deixa de acontecer, também temos a resposta.

Imagine yourself with Jesus, in a boat on the sea, as a sudden storm fills the other passengers with fear. When the priest read this Gospel story in Mark 4, Marlena Graves didn’t see herself as the terrified disciples, lacking faith. She wasn’t Jesus, peacefully sleeping through the danger. She wasn’t the wind or the waves. According to Graves, “I was the boat! And then it occurred to me that, like Jesus’ mother, Mary, I, too, am a God bearer.” Bearing God is a short and enthralling book that will awaken you as a disciple of Jesus to a sense of adventure in your calling.

Come. Accept pastor Joshua Choonmin Kang's invitation to walk slowly, paying attention to God's work in you and around you, to walk intentionally, using spiritual disciplines to develop Christlike character, and to walk purposefully, experiencing deeper grace and vision. In this book you'll encounter fifty-two brief readings, ideal for weekly sabbath reflection or daily devotional use. They point to the path of peace in the midst of life's turmoil, to hope in the midst of brokenness.

Wir wurden von Gott gesandt. Wir sollen hingehen zu Sodom und Gomorrha und mit eigenen Augen sehen, ob es wahr ist, was über die Städte gesagt wird. Ob sie es wirklich so schändlich treiben.

It's almost second nature for Christians to call God Father. Jesus taught his followers as much, although for them it was apparently a surprising practice. The worshiping community of the Old Testament used fatherly images for understanding God's character and actions, but "Father" was not a common way for believers to address God. In Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Christopher Wright explores in depth the images that pervade the biblical narratives, psalms, and prophetic texts of the Old Testament.
