Speaking Christian : Why Christian Words Have Lost Their Meaning And Power
$18.99Modern Christians are steeped in a language so distorted that it has become a stumbling block to the religion, says internationally renowned Bible scholar Marcus J. Borg. Borg argues that Christianity’s important words, and the sacred texts and stories in which those words are embedded, have been narrowed by a modern framework for the faith that emphasizes sin, forgiveness, Jesus dying for our sins, and the afterlife. Here, Borg employs the “historical-metaphorical” method for understanding Christian language that can restore for us these words of power and transformation. For example,
Redemption: now narrowly understood as Jesus saving us from sins so we can go to heaven, but in the Bible it refers to being set free from slavery.
Savior: now refers to Jesus as the one who saves us from our sins, but in the Bible it has a rich and wonderful variety of meanings having nothing to do with the afterlife.
Sacrifice: now refers to Jesus’s death on the cross as payment for our sins, but in the Bible it is never about substitutionary payment for sin.In Speaking Christian, Borg delivers a language for twenty-first-century Christians that grounds the faith in its deep and rich original roots and allows it once again to transform our lives.

Emotionally Healthy Woman
$19.99Geri Scazzero knew there was something desperately wrong with her life. She felt like a single parent raising her four young daughters alone. She finally told her husband, “I quit,” and left the thriving church he pastored, beginning a journey that transformed her and her marriage for the better. In The Emotionally Healthy Woman, Geri provides you a way out of an inauthentic, superficial spirituality to genuine freedom in Christ. This book is for every woman who thinks, “I can’t keep pretending everything is fine!” The journey to emotional health begins by quitting. Geri quit being afraid of what others think. She quit lying. She quit denying her anger and sadness. She quit living someone else’s life. When you quit those things that are damaging to your soul or the souls of others, you are freed up to choose other ways of being and relating that are rooted in love and lead to life. When you quit for the right reasons, at the right time, and in the right way, you’re on the path not only to emotional health, but also to the true purpose of your life.

Dioses En Guerra – (Spanish)
$14.99En Dioses en guerra, Kyle Idleman, autor del libro best seller No soy fan, ayuda a todos los creyentes a reconocer que hay falsos dioses que luchan dentro de cada uno de nosotros, y se disputan el lugar de la gloria y el control en nuestra vida.

Detras del pecado con el que estas luchando, el desaliento al que te enfrentas y la falta de proposito con la que estas viviendo, hay un dios falso que esta ganando la guerra por el control de tu corazon. Segun Idleman, la idolatria no es un problema; es el problema. A base de hacer unas profundas preguntas, Idleman revela cuales dioses falsos esta permitiendo cada uno de nosotros que ocupen el trono de nuestra vida. APara que te sacrificas? AQue te hace enojar? AQue te causa preocupacion? ADe quien anhelas recibir el aplauso? Todos estamos programados para la adoracion, pero con frecuencia terminamos valorando y honrando a los idolos del dinero, el sexo, la comida, el romance, el exito y muchos otros, que nos alejan de la relacion intima con Dios que queremos tener. Dioses en guerra, utilizando los testimonios reales, poderosos y sinceros de aquellos que han tenido que luchar en cada uno de estos aspectos, ilustra un claro camino para alejarnos del quebrantamiento de corazon de nuestra idolatria del siglo 21, para volver al corazon de Dios, capacitandonos para ser realmente unos seguidores de Jesus totalmente consagrados.
