Sinopse

In "The Dark Night of the Soul," John of the Cross presents a profound exploration of the spiritual journey towards union with God. Through a poetic and mystical framework, he delves into the stages of spiritual purification, emphasizing the transformative power of suffering and detachment. Written during the 16th century amid the Spanish Renaissance, John employs rich allegory and lyrical language to articulate the complexities of the soul's ascent, making his work a cornerstone of Christian mysticism. The text juxtaposes the beauty of divine love with the anguish of spiritual desolation, offering both consolation and challenge to the seeker. John of the Cross, a Spanish priest of the Carmelite Order, experienced personal trials that deeply informed his writing. His tumultuous life, marked by persecution and imprisonment, fostered a profound understanding of the soul's dark night—a metaphor for spiritual barrenness leading to deeper faith. His integration of theology, psychology, and mysticism reflects a unique perspective rooted in both personal experience and profound theological insight, positioning him as one of the greatest poets and mystics of the Christian tradition. This essential work is highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of spiritual growth and the human experience of divine longing. "The Dark Night of the Soul" invites readers to embrace the complexities of their faith journeys, making it an invaluable resource for both spiritual seekers and scholars alike.

    Find freedom in an age of anxiety. 
    Let’s face it: we are afraid. Our world is riddled with fear-inducing headlines, financial meltdowns, family crises, and phobias of every stripe. No wonder the New York Times now reports one in ten Americans is now taking antidepressant or anxiety medication. So how do we cope or even succeed in a world spinning out of control? As someone who has battled panic attacks and anxiety most of his life, Lance Hahn can relate. 
    In How to Live in Fear, Lance tackles the pervasive problem of fear and panic head-on by inviting readers into his world. In this genuine and practical book, he invites readers into the life of a pastor living with anxiety disorder. Through humorous personal stories—like losing it on an airplane or collapsing onstage as he is about to preach—Lance will win over readers with his transparency. He will also share the remedies that have helped him recover and overcome throughout the years. 
    How to Live in Fear is a public intervention of sorts. We need to talk about this issue, especially the church-at-large. Millions of people suffer from anxiety disorders, and the church has done little to make them feel normal. Many Christians now take medication privately but keep it a secret under the shame of being viewed as a failure. Lance willingly bares his soul in order to get the conversation started. He firmly believes the church should not only recognize the issue, but also help believers reconcile the guilt of being a Christian while dealing with dread and anxiety  
    Filled with practical tips and advice, and full of relevant scriptures, How to Live in Fear gives readers the tools to relax in the face of fear—real or imagined. Lance will show readers that while he may still encounter bouts of panic, he has never let his disorder stop him from living a full life. 
    A scripture reference list is included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

The 9/11 attacks in the United States created the dangerous backdrop for reaching out to their Yemeni hosts with the love of Christ. With a commitment to work in relief and development, they would find, despite the threat of death, that their hearts would be forever knit together with this people so different from themselves. Amiira Ann will take you on a rare and personal journey into Muslim life in Yemen. Amiira Ann and her family lived in Yemen for seven years, working in aid and development. Integrating themselves deeply into the culture, they established a credible Christian witness through their work and personal lives.

    The Holy Spirit in the Christian Life offers a brief account of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, focusing specifically on the question of the person and work of the Spirit in the Christian life. 
     
    Lutheran theologian Cheryl Peterson identifies three key movements of the Christian life, showing the Spirit's role in each: justification (God the Holy Spirit working for us), sanctification (God the Holy Spirit working in us), and mission (God the Holy Spirit working through us). Peterson explores scriptural and doctrinal perspectives on the person and work of the Holy Spirit--especially from churches with Reformation roots--in view of contemporary spiritual movements, including the spiritual-but-not-religious and the Pentecostal and charismatic movements. In addition, she explores the means of the Spirit's work through Word, sacrament, and spiritual gifts. 
     
    This book offers a fresh look at the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church today. It is ideal for seminarians and working pastors.
