With winsome practicality and theological reflection, Lambert draws you to glory in the God who loves and teaches you through play.With Created to Play, you will: Explore how hobbies shape your spiritual formation, offering a fresh perspective on the theology of hobbies and leisure.

You can experience how God is already participating in your hobbies with you, sharing in the joy they bring. If you are seeking a biblical perspective on your hobbies or struggling to enjoy leisure amid the demands of a busy life, this book can help you reclaim play as a vital part of spiritual formation.Play isnt about what you get or achieve but about who you become in the process.

Whether at home or abroad, communicating with people of other cultures is difficult. It requires new ways of thinking and interpreting the world. When conflict arises, as it often does, the issues become even more confusing. Without a good understanding of how different cultures handle conflict, our best intentions may only make matters worse.With a particular focus on Asian and Hispanic cultures (at home and around the world) and on African culture, Duane Elmer walks readers through various types of conflict and shows how they can be handled effectively and appropriately. Elmer gives numerous stories and examples from his experience and from others to show how handling conflict well builds solid relationships. With an eye out for biblical principles, he looks at a variety of sticky questions in Scripture. This is a book not just of theory but of practical models of conflict resolution.Pastors, evangelists, business people, missionaries, students--anyone who wants to communicate more effectively with neighbors and colleagues--will find this book immensely helpful.

Finding Gods Grace Through Lament "I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me."Psalm 77:1 What do we do with our pain? So much in our world is simply not right: Disease. Death. Destruction. But we dont have to look to the news to know that things arent okay. Our neighborhoods, our churches, and even our families ache with the everyday troubles of this life. Whether our response is rage or tears or numbness, the Bible offers an avenue for our pain: lament.In Crying Out to God, Wendy Alsup uses psalms of lament to give words to our often-wordless cries.

Name it before the Lord and allow God through the Scriptures to meet you in it. Youll find grace in your time of need, your communitys time of need, and our worlds time of need. Youll find that God has not left you to journey through the darkness alone.

El testamento intelectual de Bobbio y sus reflexiones en torno a la vejez.Desde su aparición en 1997, De senectute se ha consolidado como uno de los libros más lúcidos sobre la vejez.A través de una serie de reflexiones que recuerdan al ejercicio del pensamiento en voz alta, Norberto Bobbio habla de la fragilidad y la duda con una honestidad radical. Sus paginas ofrecen una meditacion sobre la experiencia de hacerse mayor, entendida como un periodo marcado por la melancolia y una nueva relacion con el tiempo en el que la memoria se superpone al presente y lo desbanca.Contra las inercias de las sociedades contemporaneas de glorificar la juventud, la velocidad y la productividad, el filosofo propone una etica del reconocimiento que entienda la vejez como parte legitima de la vida, con su propia dignidad y valor. No comparte la idea de que sea un tiempo de plenitud, sino que reconoce el papel central de la perdida; no obstante, esa misma perdida activa un tipo de clarividencia que solo es posible cuando se asume la perspectiva del final.

Dexter, a spirited young dolphin, discovers the joy of moving and dancing freely through the ocean, guided by a magical secret current that responds to his playful energy. Initially unsure how others will react, he embraces his unique style and finds exhilaration in flips, twirls, and leaps, learning to celebrate his individuality. Along the way, he meets Luma, a glowing jellyfish, and together they create a dazzling underwater dance, discovering the magic of shared joy. Their friendship inspires other sea creatures, like a curious crew of crabs, to explore movement and playfulness, spreading laughter and delight throughout the reef. Through his adventures, Dexter learns that happiness grows when shared, and the ocean holds endless possibilities for exploration, creativity, and connection.

Including People with Disabilities Is Essential to Your Churchs Witness God wants people of all abilities to be active participants in his kingdom. But churches have not always made it clear that people with disabilities are both part of Gods story and fully welcome in their communities. If the church is to be a credible witness, it must reach and include people with disabilities within its evangelism, mission, and everyday life.In Disability and Evangelism, Rochelle Scheuermann casts a vision for including people with disabilities in all aspects of evangelism, from how we understand and tell the gospel story, to how we evangelize to and with people with disabilities. This groundbreaking book invites us to reshape our evangelism theology and practice so that people with disabilities are central in all we think, say, and do. Scheuermann uncovers how Gods story in Scripture responds to the complexities of disability and provides both the means and message to share good news among people of all abilities. She then explores issues of evangelism practice, including how we understand conversion, an expanded understanding of accommodation, and pursuing interdependence in ministry.In Disability and Evangelism, you will gain a biblical understanding of both disability and evangelism; hear stories from people with a range of disabilities; study evangelism practices that go beyond traditional approaches that are key for doing evangelism with and among people with disabilities; understand why many people with disabilities feel excluded from and do not attend church; and engage with discussion questions in each chapter. This book shows how the gospel really is good news for people of all abilities. Understanding and embracing disability is not only a matter of compassion and justice. People with disabilities will help the church to counteract faulty visions of power, autonomy, and self-promotion and to encounter the good news of Jesus more deeply. If youre looking for a resource that invites people with disabilities to be both recipients and active participants in Gods mission, Disability and Evangelism is for you.About the Series Center for Disability and Ministry books explore the intersection of disability and practical theology in partnership with the Center for Disability and Ministry at Western Theological Seminary. Co-edited by Benjamin T. Conner and John Swinton, this series explores key issues in disability theology through the framework of practical theology, aiming to increase knowledge as well as faithfully impact Christian practice.

La sabiduría práctica necesaria para sobrevivir en un mundo competitivo.El arte de la prudencia resume en trescientas frases una buena parte de la sabiduría práctica que permite triunfar en un mundo cada vez mas competitivo y hostil. Su brevedad y su modernisima organizacion en fragmentos independientes no solo favorecen una lectura casi permanente, sino que la convierten en la lectura optima para cualquier momento o lugar: para frecuentar los pasajes preferidos o para una respuesta rapida a una cuestion que no admite mas retrasos. Una obra que abarca las instrucciones, normas y explicaciones de la conducta humana. Es una suerte de universo en papel que aspira a proporcionar una cuidadosa guia de los resultados de los actos propios y de los ajenos.De forma abreviada, de manera muy sugerente, con la participacion del lector, El arte de la prudencia enseña que no existe un solo camino para la prudencia o para el exito. Sus textos, leidos de la manera que el lector prefiera (tal y como aparecen, en orden inverso, al azar, etc.), constituyen un consejero inagotable, siempre el mismo y siempre distinto ya que el lector es quien decide el camino que se debe llevar. Este libro que Baltasar Gracian escribio hace mas de trescientos años goza de plena vigencia, por su enfoque practico y por su atencion a lo concreto.

¿Qué esel mal ycómopodemosevitar que semanifieste? Unrecorrido pococonvencionalpor lahistoria de lafilosofía.¿Puede tener sentido un mundo en el que los inocentes sufren? ¿Podemos seguir creyendo en un poder divino o en el progreso humano si hacemos una taxonomia del mal? ¿Es el mal profundo o banal?En esta obra fundamental, Susan Neiman argumenta que estas preguntas impulsaron la filosofia moderna. Los filosofos tradicionales, de Leibniz a Hegel, intentaban defender al Creador de un mundo en el que el mal existe. Inevitablemente, ese esfuerzo, combinado con la obra de escritores como Pope, Voltaire y el Marques de Sade, erosionaron la fe en la benevolencia, el poder y la relevancia de Dios, hasta que Nietzsche afirmo que habia sido asesinado. Tambien produjo la distincion entre el mal natural y el mal moral que ahora damos por sentada. Asi, la filosofia contemporanea considera al Holocausto como el mal moral final y Neiman concluye que dos posturas basicas atraviesan el pensamiento moderno. Una, de Rousseau a Arendt, insiste en que la moralidad exige que hagamos inteligible el mal. La otra, de Voltaire a Adorno, insiste en que la moralidad exige que no lo hagamos.Bellamente escrito y profundamente cautivador, este libro narra la historia del pensamiento moderno como un intento de enfrentarse al mal y acerca la filosofia a todo aquel interesado en las preguntas sobre la vida y la muerte, el sufrimiento y el sentido.La critica ha dicho: Provocador y profundo.The Wall Street JournalNeiman argumenta que preguntarnos por que el mundo es como es, en lugar de como deberia ser, equivale a pensar acerca del mal.New York Times Book ReviewClaro, elegante y atractivo de repente, [la filosofia] vuelve a ser una cuestion de vida o muerte.Die Welt

Una reflexión sobre el viaje como proceso de autodescubrimiento que nos ayuda a ensanchar nuestra visión del mundo.Pessoa se preguntaba si los viajes podían ofrecer a su alma algo que no tuviese ya, mientras que Twain los veia como un balsamo contra la ignorancia. Ralph Waldo Emerson sostenia que buscar respuestas fuera del hogar era huir de uno mismo, y Chesterton animaba a viajar para redescubrir la propia patria. De la experiencia vacia y engañosa del viaje turistico al migrante obligado a adaptarse a un mundo nuevo, viajar es un fenomeno complejo que implica procesos de autoconocimiento y transformacion.Bartra reflexiona acerca de por que el viaje no es solo un desplazamiento fisico, sino tambien un distanciamiento cultural y emocional que confronta nuestra identidad y nuestros origenes con el mundo que nos rodea.

El Testamento de los doce patriarcas hijos de Jacob es una obra considerada apócrifa de carácter ético-religioso que se atribuye a los doce hijos de Jacob, los patriarcas fundadores de las tribus de Israel. La obra esta compuesta por doce secciones, una para cada hijo de Jacob: Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Isacar, Zabulon, Dan, Neftali, Gad, Aser, Jose y Benjamin. En cada testamento, el patriarca respectivo ya anciano y proximo a la muerte convoca a sus hijos y les transmite una serie de exhortaciones, confesiones personales, advertencias, consejos morales y, en algunos casos, profecias acerca del futuro de su tribu y del pueblo de Israel en general. Uno de los rasgos mas destacados de esta obra es su fuerte contenido etico. Cada patriarca relata sus experiencias de vida, incluyendo pecados cometidos y lecciones aprendidas, con el objetivo de dejar a sus descendientes un legado de sabiduria moral. Temas como la castidad, la humildad, la justicia, la misericordia, el perdon, la obediencia a Dios y el rechazo de la idolatria se repiten a lo largo de los testamentos. Tambien se subraya con frecuencia la lucha espiritual entre el bien y el mal, representada como una batalla entre dos espiritus que influyen en el corazon humano.

El cambio es inevitable. Y a veces es confuso y difícil, incluso cuando es bueno. No podemos evitar que el cambio llegue, pero podemos permitir que nos transforme en lugar de descarrilarnos enfrentándolo y abrazandolo a traves del lente de las promesas inmutables de Dios para nosotros.Todos hemos escuchado el dicho: "La unica constante es el cambio". A veces, los cambios que enfrentamos, tanto esperados como inesperados, pueden hacer que nuestras vidas se sientan sin fundamento e inestables. Y cuando reaccionamos al cambio con miedo, una oportunidad de crecimiento puede convertirse en una ansiedad abrumadora que nos encierra en situaciones, relaciones y formas de pensar y ser que nos impiden vivir en la plenitud de quienes realmente somos en Cristo. La querida maestra de la Biblia y autora numero uno en ventas del New York Times, Joyce Meyer, quiere que sepamos que incluso cuando sentimos que el suelo bajo nuestros pies se esta moviendo, podemos mantenernos firmes en la promesa de la Palabra de Dios de que El nos vera a traves de todo. Con su perspicacia caracteristica y sabiduria atemporal, Joyce nos muestra como alinear nuestras reacciones emocionales a los cambios con la verdad de la promesa de Dios de que El trabajara todos los cambios para bien en nuestras vidas, incluso los mas dolorosos y dificiles.En El Valor para cambiar, aprenderas a: Abrazar el cambio como una parte necesaria del crecimiento Reemplazar una mentalidad de miedo con una mentalidad de oportunidad Y vivir plenamente dentro de la incertidumbre del cambio mientras mantienes la paz.Todos enfrentaremos cambios una y otra vez a lo largo de nuestras vidas. No tenemos que vivir temiendo los desafios que estos cambios traen. Podemos equiparnos para convertirnos en personas de valentia, optimismo y esperanza en un mundo en constante cambio, porque tenemos la seguridad de Dios de que Su caracter y Sus promesas nunca cambiaran. Conviertete en un guerrero del cambio y abraza el valor para cambiar. El Valor para Cambiar tambien contiene preguntas de estudio al final de cada capitulo para la reflexion individual o grupal

Find Strength in the Wilderness When life feels like a wildernessa place of uncertainty, exhaustion, and spiritual stumblingwhat do you hold on to?For many of us the past few years have been clouded by plagues of illness and dying, anger and violence, disillusionment and loss. And numerous pharaohs, from the church house to the courthouse to the White House, appear to have risen up to withstand the move of God toward freedom and new life for his people. But the road to freedom is often through the wilderness, dying to what was, while we strain, through faith, to see the life we hope for just barely visible in the distance.In Enough for Today, Donna Barber offers forty reflections on how God provides in unexpected and life-sustaining ways, drawing parallels to the manna that sustained the Israelites during their own wilderness journey. This devotional is designed for those whose spirits have been wearied by deconstruction, for justice seekers still trying to hold onto hope, and for anyone in need of spiritual refreshing amid the arid challenges of our present world.These forty reflections are an invitation to acknowledge your fears while still leaning into what is true as you make your way through the wilderness. Through rich imagery, Barber invites you to rediscover the God of your first love and the places where you encountered him and to find a way forward with renewed hope and faith.What Youll Find in Enough for Today: Daily Reflections: Forty devotions to help you connect with God, even when your energy feels depleted Spiritual Insights: Different ways God meets you in wilderness seasons, often in surprising and unanticipated ways An Invitation to Rediscovery: Encouragement to hear Gods call, face your fears, and rediscover your own identity Whether youre a community leader, a weary advocate, or simply a seeker in need of direction, Enough for Today will provide the daily manna you need to persevere.
