Sinopsis

Join Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR—founder of Corazón Puro—on a multimedia Lenten journey inspired by St. Francis. Begin the season with a vow of poverty and end at Easter with a heart free from the desert of sin and open to love, serve, and care for others. Made for Heaven features stunning original art by Valerie Delgado of Pax.Valerie, along with daily meditations on a passage from scripture, reflection questions, prayer, and space for journaling and notetaking. A life of simplicity and poverty orients you toward God’s love and reminds you that you are made for heaven. Torres says the best way to prepare yourself for that final destination is to live as true pilgrims who need to “travel lightly” and detach from earthly pleasures. In six transformative weeks, you will learn how to allow the Holy Spirit to move in your heart through a new theme each week:  Week one: commit yourself to a Lenten vow of poverty and reflect on the story of Jesus being cast into the desert as you learn to make your life entirely about Christ;  Week two: be a witness to the Transfiguration and allow yourself to become transformed, letting your spiritual gifts shine forth;  Week three: accept the call to conversion and say yes to a life of simplicity and poverty as St. Joseph did;  Week four: let the healing power of God challenge you to become a vessel of mercy and a source of loving compassion to others;  Week five: learn how to pray with confidence and look beyond ourselves; and  Holy Week: experience a deep encounter with God through the ancient liturgy of the Church.    Made for Heaven is perfect for both individual and group use. Free companion videos and a downloadable leader’s guide are available at avemariapress.com. The book and other resources are also available in Spanish.

    Read by the author. 
    Can God handle our hardest questions, biggest struggles, and secret doubts? 
    We instinctively assume he cannot. We figure giving voice to those things will bring shame, rejection, and distance from him. But what if our hard questions don't need to function as an off-ramp from Christianity but can lead us closer to his heart? What if he is not afraid of our doubts but instead reveals himself in them? 
    In Can I Say That?, Brenna Blain brings her fresh voice to those who feel unsafe or unwelcome in the church, acknowledging the incongruity between the church's actions and believers' lived experiences. As a Bible teacher and an advocate for those who have experienced abuse, molestation, and mental health crises, she creates space for readers to be radically honest and ask tough questions—Am I safe here? Why does your presence feel so lonely, God?—while pointing them to biblical, foundational truth. 
    Leading the way with her own raw vulnerability and authenticity, Brenna shares her journey of wrestling with God and building intimacy with him as a result. Bravely exploring these deep places with Brenna will help you:Know in your guts that God accepts you as you are—even as you question, struggle, doubt, and hurtBe reassured that he is bigger than anything you face and can handle anything you bring to himExperience his love in the most tender and needy parts of your heartEngage complex questions about the institution of the church, wrestle with its abuses, and advocate for the Body of Christ to more closely reflect his heart 
      
    God sees you and knows you—better than you know yourself. He doesn't need you to change in order for him to love you. He doesn't require you to be free of struggles in order for him to be close to you. He wants you to be your true self with him and be willing to engage with him deeply, so he can wow you with the beauty of his heart and character.

    366 bite-sized chunks of wisdom from history's most practical spiritual thinker, James Allen. 
    "James Allen may truly be called the Prophet of Meditation. In an age of strife, hurry, religious controversy, heated arguments, ritual and ceremony, he came with his message of Meditation, calling men away from the din and strife of tongues into the peaceful paths of stillness within their own souls, where the Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world ever burns steadily and surely for all who will turn their weary eyes from the strife without to the quiet within. Many of the Meditations were written as he came down from the Cairn in the early morning, where he spent those precious hours alone with God while the world slept. Others are gleaned from his many writings, published and unpublished, and are arranged for daily readings at his request, and, we believe, under his spiritual guidance. The book must ever be a stronghold of Spiritual Truth and blessing to all who read it, and especially to those who use it for daily meditation. Its great power lies in that it is the very heart of a good man who lived every word he wrote." - Lily L Allen 
    If you need a simple but deep introduction to James Allen's thoughts and work, then look no further. The only of Allen's 21 books to be published posthumously, this book blends his final conclusions along with revisions of his previous work, shaved down and purified until they become crystalline nuggets of deep thought. Compiled by his wife and editor, Lily L. Allen, it was first released the year after his death in 1912.

    Help children find their identity in Christ so that they have a positive and realistic view of themselves. Useful for any stage of parenting.  As kids grow up, they hear many conflicting messages about how they can define themselves. For example, they are told that they can define themselves by their achievements, popularity, sexuality, morality, or gender, or by how they feel.  This warm, realistic, and sympathetic book, written by father of three and founder of Faith in Kids, Ed Drew, provides much needed biblical help for parents on this topic. It shows parents how to encourage their kids to find their identity in the fact that they are made and loved by Jesus, and it explores the implications and applications of this truth.  Whether they are happy or anxious, whether they have messed up or achieved great things, children will gain a positive and realistic view of themselves, based on God’s amazing love for them, giving them confidence to live by faith in a secular world.  The foundational principles in this book mean it is ideal to read in advance of or during the early stages of parenting, but it is a useful resource at any stage of a child’s life.

    Although most people acknowledge that Jesus was a first-century Jew, interpreters of the Gospels often present him as opposed to Jewish law and customs—especially when considering his numerous encounters with the ritually impure. Matthew Thiessen corrects this popular misconception by placing Jesus within the Judaism of his day. Thiessen demonstrates that the Gospel writers depict Jesus opposing ritual impurity itself, not the Jewish ritual purity system or the Jewish law. This fresh interpretation of significant passages from the Gospels shows that throughout his life, Jesus destroys forces of death and impurity while upholding the Jewish law.

    If you asked an American, "Who is the prince of this world", most will say, Jesus Christ. However, that is not what the Bible says: (John 12:31) "Now is the time for judgement on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out." John 16:11) "About Judgement, because the prince of this world now stands condemned." 
    Another misconception man has is the God gave him freewill in order that he could make a decision for Christ in his life. God chooses us not the other way around! (Luke 10:22) "All things have been committed to me by my father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." 
    The above two myth mentioned above are just part of the eleven myths covered in this book: "THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE, ELEVEN MYTHS SATAN USES TO DECEIVE MAN". These lies exposes Satan's plan he uses to destroy man's relationship with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. 
    Don't accept my words, but check them out yourself. The Apostle Paul says that you should be like the "Bereans" (Acts 17:11) "Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the scripture every day to see if what Paul said was true." 
    Satan lies and wants to take as many people to Hell with him, where he and his followers will spend eternity.
