A Treatise on Christian Liberty - On the Freedom of a Christian

Martin Luther

Sinopse

In "A Treatise on Christian Liberty," Martin Luther explores the profound and transformative concept of freedom through faith. Written in a direct and accessible style, this seminal work juxtaposes spiritual liberty with the constraints of earthly authority, grounded in the theological context of the Reformation. Luther articulates the notion that true freedom is found in a relationship with Christ, emphasizing that while believers are simultaneously bound to God'Äôs commandments, they are also liberated from the shackles of sin and mortal law. This intricate interplay of law and grace reveals a nuanced understanding of Christian existence that remains relevant to contemporary theological discourse. Martin Luther, a pivotal figure in the Protestant Reformation, was propelled to write this treatise by his own experiences of seeking spiritual truth and questioning the prevailing ecclesiastical hierarchies of his time. His life marked by a struggle against the indulgences and corrupt practices of the Church, Luther'Äôs work is informed by his deep conviction that salvation comes through faith alone. This treatise embodies his revolutionary thoughts, providing insights into the relationship between the believer and divine grace. I highly recommend "A Treatise on Christian Liberty" to readers seeking to delve into the foundations of Christian thought and the principles of spiritual freedom. Luther's arguments not only challenge conventional wisdom of his era but also invite readers to reflect on their own freedom in faith, making it an essential read for anyone interested in theology, history, and the dynamics of religious liberty.

The Connected Life - The Art and...

Todd W. Hall, Curt Thompson

It's no secret that we live in an increasingly isolated world. 
 
 
 
The pandemic has only exacerbated what was already a startling trend: loneliness and disconnection have been on the rise for a long time in our society. We long for a deep sense of meaning to make sense of our lives, but we don't know how to find it. Even worse, we often search for it in unhealthy ways that hinder the very thing we're desperate for: genuine relational connection. 
 
 
 
Psychologist Todd Hall has been researching human relationships and ways of connecting for many years. In The Connected Life, he offers the fruit of that work, contending that real human growth doesn't come through head knowledge alone but through relational knowledge and strong attachment bonds. It's our relationships—with God and others—that lead to authentic transformation. Ultimately, the family of God provides the best context for lasting growth. 
 
 
 
Here is a wise, accessible introduction to transformative relational connection, addressing the deeply felt disconnection in our society and inviting us into lasting relationships with God and others.

Believed

Michael James Emberger

Kelsea Jones is like a lot of girls at the University of Northern Minnesota. She has a boyfriend, she works at a coffee shop, and she’s on the swim team. But she’s not a girl. She’s a mermaid.
Trouble brews when star hockey player Chad Andersen takes an interest in her. She tries to avoid him, but he won’t leave her alone. A son of wealth and privilege, he takes what he wants, and he gets away with it. He wants Kelsea, she says no, and so he rapes her. Kelsea stands on a tail and two fins to fight the most painful trial of her life. Despite her trauma and a crisis of faith, she speaks the truth of what Chad did, but will she be believed?
A note from the author:
1 out of 4 college girls experiences rape or sexual assault. That breaks my heart. It’s a crime that has affected people I love, and it has to stop. This novel is my way of raising awareness and showing survivors that someone hears them.
Believed is a product of my friendship with a survivor who is an author and advocate. She opened my eyes to a world of trauma and PTSD that had been largely invisible to me before I met her, and it was life-changing. I needed to share that with others. The burden on my heart was too great to not say something, and fiction is the method I know best to convey the thoughts, truths, pains, and struggles that I see.
Sexual assault is not my story. I haven’t experienced it, I don’t live with the resulting trauma, and I do not wish to profit from the pain of survivors. This is a book for them. It’s a book for those who love them. It’s a book to encourage readers to think and to empathize and to consider the realities of so many whose lives have been affected by this crime.
