Augustine on the Christian Life: Transformed by the Power of God

Augustine is widely considered to be the most influential theologian in church history after the apostle Paul. Dramatically converted from a life of licentiousness to one of wholehearted devotion to Christ, the humble North African pastor quickly established himself as a leading figure within the ancient church. In Augustine on the Christian Life, historian Gerald Bray explores the rich spirituality of this extraordinary man, examining his historical context, approach to the Christian life, and work as a preacher and teacher of God's Word. Drawing on Augustine's many writings―including his classic spiritual autobiography, the Confessions―Bray demonstrates Augustine's enduring relevance for Christians today. Part of the Theologians on the Christian Life series.

Bavinck on the Christian Life: Following Jesus in Faithful Service

Herman Bavinck looms large as one of the nineteenth century's greatest Christian thinkers, contributing much to modern Reformed theology. Yet, despite his theological prowess, Bavinck was first and foremost concerned with being "a worthy follower of Jesus." In this book, John Bolt―editor of the English edition of Bavinck's four-volume masterpiece, Reformed Dogmatics―brings the great Dutch theologian's life and work to bear on following Jesus in the twenty-first century, helping us see the direct connection between robust theology, practical holiness, and personal joy. Part of the Theologians on the Christian Life series.

[Spanish] - El baile tras la tormenta: Relatos de disidentes de los países bálticos y Rusia

Para reunir esta galería de relatos inolvidables, el autor ha viajado durante tres años por Estonia, Letonia y Lituania, y el sur de Noruega y Finlandia, hasta la frontera con Rusia. Algunos de sus personajes han sufrido cárcel, destierro o tortura. Otros han padecido el ostracismo social y las deportaciones a Siberia. Todos han tenido que enfrentarse a lo políticamente correcto. Son músicos, pintores, directores de cine o actores de teatro. Otros, reporteros de guerra, médicos, católicos, ortodoxos o luteranos, cantantes de rock o de rap. Les une su rebeldía y su fidelidad a las propias convicciones. Son... disidentes. Sus vidas muestran la fe de una Europa desconocida, llena de vigor y creatividad, que contrasta con la decadencia y el cansancio vital de tantos otros lugares de Occidente.

[German] - Verwirklichte Ganzheit - Das wundersame Leben von Shri Gurudeva: Eine Biographie des Urv

Shri Gurudeva, geboren 1870, hatte bereits als kleines Kind den tiefen Wunsch sich mit dem Göttlichen zu verbinden. Mit 9 Jahren verließ er sein Elternhaus, riss aus und machte sich auf den Weg in den Himalaya, um zu meditieren. Seine Eltern starteten eine landesweite Suchkampagne, setzten ein 'Kopfgeld' aus und fingen ihn wieder ein. Danach gelang es ihm, seine Eltern und den Familienguru davon zu überzeugen, ihn freiwillig gehen zu lassen. Er fand seinen Lehrer, seinen Guru, Guruji, und verbrachte sein Leben überwiegend in Meditation und in der Einsamkeit des Dschungels. Mit 70 Jahren wurde ihm das höchste spirituelle Amt des Shankaracharya von Jyotirmath, Nordindien, verliehen, das zuvor 165 Jahre unbesetzt geblieben war. Sein wohl bekanntester Schüler, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, trug dann die Weisheit von Shri Gurudeva als Transzendentale Meditation (TM) in die Welt, wurde der 'Guru der Beatles' und damit der Mitbegründer der Flower Power Bewegung. Rameswar Tiwari, der Autor dieser Biographie, war ein wohlhabender Geschäftsmann und treuer Anhänger von Shri Gurudeva. Aus den vielen von Gurudev selbst erzählten sonderbaren Begebenheiten hat er diese wundersame und sehr unterhaltsame Biographie zusammengestellt. Wann gibt Gott und wem? Dieses Buch schildert uns als leuchtendes Vorbild einen Mann, der den Weg zur vollkommenen Eigenständigkeit und Selbstverwirklichung fand, um völlig im Einklang mit der Ganzheit zu leben. Jedem Ganzheitsuchenden und Meditierenden kann die Geschichte und das Vorbild von Gurudeva für seinen eigenen Weg von Nutzen sein. „Wenn Gott gibt, gibt er uns alles, was wir brauchen: das Ganze, das Wirkliche.“ Viel Freue beim Hören!

Finding Joy in Suffering

Finding Joy in Suffering. Quite a title right? Usually you wouldn’t think that joy and suffering would exist together. But in my life, they have. I’ve experienced great suffering and loss early on in my life, and many have asked me how I continue to put a smile on my face having lived through what I have. Ever since I was a kid, my response has been, “I don’t know, it’s because of Jesus.” For a while, I couldn’t understand why I had joy in my heart after my mother died. But I knew that God was providing joy in ways that I couldn’t begin to explain. Even now, so many years later, I can still say that I have joy in my seasons of suffering. My story has been shaped by the loss of two of my parents. My birth mother died after a long battle with cancer when I was 12, and my adopted dad died from a fatal car accident when I was 25. I’ve suffered from depression for many years, and struggled with suicide and self-harm. I’ve struggled with my mental health, a number of insecurities, and ongoing fears of rejection and abandonment. You name it, I, or someone I know, has struggled and suffered through something. I bet you have suffered in some way, shape, or form at least once in your life. Everyone suffers. No matter how small or large, insignificant or grand, you have suffered. This book may not teach you how to avoid suffering, because we can’t avoid suffering. But it will teach you how to walk through it, and how to walk alongside someone else through theirs. Suffering is an unfortunate part of this world, and we will all experience some kind of suffering. But in order to do life on this earth (and find the joy in it), we need to first acknowledge and accept our suffering, and then get to know the One who suffered more than all of us. Jesus. And only then, will we be able to find a reason to have joy in the midst of our suffering.

Life of Christ

Unabridged English Translation including 92 footnotes. An instant best-seller in Italy, Vita di Gesù Cristo ('Life of Jesus Christ') was also highly praised by Catholic peer journals worldwide and has never since been out of print. The author, Giuseppe Ricciotti, was an archaeologist and Biblical scholar. After his seminary studies and completing mandatory military service, he was ordained a priest in 1913 and continued his studies at the University of Rome. During World War I he served as a military chaplain, volunteering for service at the front lines, for which he was later awarded a Silver Medal of Military Valor. After the war, he resumed his studies and graduated in 1919 with a degree in Biblical Studies. During World War II, he took in many refugees at the congregation's Motherhouse the Basilica of St. Peter in Chains. Excerpt from the Author's Preface: I have studied the ancient fact and not the modem theory, the solidity of the documents and not the flimsiness of any interpretation presently the fashion. The first vague notion of writing this book came to me many years ago in extraordinary circumstances. I had been carried to a field hospital set up in a wood of fir trees in a valley among the Alps. For some time, I hovered between life and death. And awaiting my fate, it suddenly came to me that if I should live, I might write a life of Christ; his Gospel, in fact, was on the straw mattress beside me. The thought never left me; it became a kind of spiritual necessity. I have studied the ancient fact and not the modem theory, the solidity of the documents and not the flimsiness of any interpretations presently the fashion. I have even dared to imitate the famous 'dispassionateness” of the canonical Evangelists, who have neither an exclamation of joy when Jesus is born nor a word of lament when he dies. It has been my intention, then, to write a critical work.

Giuseppe Ricciotti (Author), Maria Isabel Pita (Narrator)
