Luther's Catechism: Large & Small - Enriched edition

Martin Luther

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

Martin Luther's "Luther's Catechism: Large & Small" serves as a foundational theological work that both instructs and illuminates the principles of the Christian faith through a clear, accessible format. Written in the early 16th century during the Reformation, Luther employs a question-and-answer style that democratizes knowledge, making complex doctrinal concepts more comprehensible for laypeople. The text is imbued with a pastoral tone that reflects Luther's desire to guide believers toward a more personal and informed relationship with God, emphasizing key tenets like justification by faith and the essentials of the sacraments. As a pioneering figure in the Reformation, Martin Luther was profoundly influenced by his struggles with ecclesiastical authority and personal conviction. His background as a monk and theologian, combined with the socio-political upheaval of his time, shaped his mission to recalibrate Christian teaching towards scripture-centered practice. Luther's profound spiritual journey, underscored by his conviction that accessibility to religious education was a right for all, informs the catechism's structure and content, aiming to equip both the young and old with sound doctrine. This catechism is highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Christian doctrine and its historical context. It serves as an essential resource for scholars, educators, and laypersons alike, facilitating an engaging exploration of faith that continues to resonate today. Luther's Catechism stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith education and personal conviction.

Empathy is a gift, and developing empathy is just one of the many best things one can do for oneself and others. Why? It fosters understanding, to begin with. When we understand, we start to feel for others, and this leads to better communications. It’s going to be an understatement when we say empathy can improve life, because, in truth, it positively affects one’s and everyone else’s life, health, social skills, relationships, and the community as a whole. It heals. It’s life-changing.

Heart Soul Mind Strength - A...

Andrew T. Le Peau, Linda Doll

"Some publishers tell you what to believe. Other publishers tell you what you already believe. But InterVarsity Press helps you believe."
J. I. Packer
The history of evangelicalism cannot be understood apart from the authors and books that shaped it. Over the past century, leading figures such as pastor-scholar John Stott, apologist James W. Sire, evangelist Rebecca Manley Pippert and spiritual formation writer Eugene Peterson helped generations of readers to think more biblically and engage the world around them. For many who take their Christianity seriously, books that equip them for a life of faith have frequently come from one influential publisher: InterVarsity Press.
Andy Le Peau and Linda Doll provide a narrative history of InterVarsity Press, from its origins as the literature division of a campus ministry to its place as a prominent Christian publishing house. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the stories, people, and events that made IVP what it is today. Recording good times and bad, celebrations and challenges, they place IVP in its historical context and demonstrate its contribution to the academy, church and world.
In honor of IVP's seventy-fifth anniversary, senior editor Al Hsu has updated this edition with new content, bringing the story up to 2022 and including stories about contemporary authors such as Esau McCaulley and Tish Harrison Warren. As IVP continues to adapt to changes in publishing and the global context, the mission of publishing thoughtful Christian books has not changed. IVP stands as a model of integrative Christianity for the whole person—heart, soul, mind and strength.

Heaven Here on Earth

Curt Melliger

While attending catechism class as a child, Curt Melliger was taught that if he obeyed the rules all his life he would be allowed to enter a place called Heaven when he died. The priest and nuns described it as a sacred abode up in the clouds that contained all of the very best things in the universe. There was sunshine and blue sky, pretty flowers and double rainbows, peace and happiness, ringing bells and beautiful music, saints and angels and the all-enveloping love of God. The young boy's mind processed this information and came to the stunning conclusion: "Why, they're talking about Earth!" 
Since that early revelation Curt has been discovering other examples of paradise incarnate wherever he goes. This book is a collection of stories on subjects ranging from water, fire, and stars to adrenaline rushes, near-death experiences, and the place where goosebumps originate, from skiing powder and climbing high mountains and walking in reverse to the changing of seasons, the lessons of night, and the reason for dreams, from wild animals, unseen visitors, and beings that do not die to the magic of the human touch, beatific ecstasy, and what awaits us on the other side of the veil that only partially separates this golden realm from the perfect one. 
For the Ultimate is much closer than we have been led to believe. Indeed, it is readily available right here on this planet, this Garden of Eden, this one-of-a-kind oasis in space. 
Right now.
