Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation," Thomas More employs a conversational format that juxtaposes philosophical inquiry with personal reflection, crafting a profound exploration of faith and resilience amidst adversity. Written during a period of personal turmoil, including incarceration, More's text stands as a testament to the enduring power of dialogue in reconciling pain with spiritual solace. Drawing from Christian principles, he weaves a rich tapestry of theological discourse and human emotion, inviting readers to confront their own tribulations with courage and hope. His eloquent use of dialogue not only serves to engage the reader but also to reflect the broader Renaissance humanist ideals that advocate for rational discourse as a means of understanding human suffering. Thomas More, a prominent figure in the Renaissance and a devout Catholic, faced his own trials as he navigated the tumultuous political and religious landscape of 16th-century England. His deep commitment to his faith and unwavering sense of moral integrity, even in the face of persecution, inspire the reflective and reassuring tone of this work. More's experiences, particularly his conflict with King Henry VIII, greatly influenced his contemplations on suffering and the nature of divine comfort. This engrossing treatise is highly recommended for readers seeking not merely a historical account but a profound meditation on the complexities of the human experience. More's insights resonate across time, offering comfort to those grappling with their own tribulations. Perfect for scholars and casual readers alike, this book invites a deep and reflective engagement with themes of faith, resilience, and hope.

Radical Discipleship -...

Hensworth W. C. Jonas

What does it mean to be a disciple of Christ? “Be ye holy; for I am holy.”—1 Peter 1:16     The modern church has replaced true discipleship with a soft, cowardly, perverted, and shallow iteration of Christianity. The radical departure of our generation from the truth in favor of an anemic Christianity must be answered with a radical return to doctrine and practice.    Pastor Hensworth Jonas’s new book, Radical Discipleship, challenges professing Christians to live out Christ’s call to stand out in a hostile, sinful world.

Gospeler - Turning Darkness into...

Willie Robertson

Read by the author. Includes the bonus Gospeler resource, Sharing Jesus with Confidence.
Do you want to share your faith more easily and naturally? Willie Robertson of Duck Dynasty says that if you can tell someone about your spouse, kids, friends, school, pets, and hobbies, you know how to talk about the most important thing in your life, your Lord!
Could you share the gospel with another person? Would you know where to start? Do you even know what the gospel is? It's the Good News of Jesus, and a gospeler is simply someone who shares it with others.
Willie Robertson writes about his story of faith, which came about in large part because a stranger went out of his way—as well as his comfort zone—to have a spiritual conversation with Willie's father, Phil. And from that story, he tells readers how they, too, can talk about Jesus with their family, friends, neighbors, and even people they meet along the way. Gospeler will help readers:Celebrate the gospel genealogy that led to their faith and be inspired to grow their spiritual family tree.Understand that sharing the gospel is not preaching but having a conversation.Keep sharing the gospel with someone, knowing that Jesus never gives up on us.Focus on what's truly important (Jesus) instead of what's not (religion).
Being a gospeler is not complicated. And the more you share Jesus, the easier it gets. Maybe you believe other people are better at sharing their faith and it is not your gift. Maybe you think you don't know the Bible well enough. Or you might say you haven't figured it all out yourself, so you aren’t equipped to help anyone else. Whatever may be holding you back will be covered in this book, giving you the inspiration, guidance, and encouragement you need.
When the gospel is heard, accepted, and responded to, it's not just a cool story, it is a game-changer. And it can spread across the world—starting with one conversation you have with another.

The Bondage of the Will

Martin Luther

On the Bondage of the Will (Latin: 'De Servo Arbitrio', literally, "On Un-free Will", or "Concerning Bound Choice"), by Martin Luther, was published in December 1525. It was his reply to Desiderius Erasmus's De libero arbitrio diatribe sive collatio or On Free Will, which had appeared in September 1524 as Erasmus's first public attack on Luther, after being wary about the methods of the reformer for many years. At issue was whether human beings, after the Fall of Man, are free to choose good or evil. The debate between Luther and Erasmus is one of the earliest of the Reformation over the issue of free will and predestination. (Summary by Wikipedia)

Poetry for a Conscious Mind

Afoma Mbara Mpi

As one awakens, the mind becomes more conscious. One also realizes that, on the journey of awakening, there is often a flipping of perspectives; a frequency of forgetting and remembering. 
Poetry for a Conscious Mind are poems of self-inquiry. They are musings to pair alongside the evolution of recognition, insights that serve as reminders… “remember not to forget” reminders, and contemplations that inform deeper recognition.
