Dr. Penny Sartori is a registered nurse who began researching Near Death Experiences (NDEs) in 1995 after one of her long-term intensive care patients begged her to let him die in peace. The event shook her deeply and eventually led her to enroll in a PhD program to research NDEs.

I Choose You Today features 31 scriptural principles that support marriage and help couples develop healthy biblically based behavior.

If your pantry was empty, your children hungry, your electricity cut off for nonpayment, and you saw no prospect of support, what would you do? For a decade in a rural Tennessee community, you went to a shabby building behind a church and found Laura Willis. Running a program to help the needy, Laura discovered a world of people she never knew: the lonely and unemployed, chronically poor families, and middle-class folks surprised to be struggling in a great recession.

Almost everyone prays: believers, unbelievers, wannabe believers, and might-have-been believers. It assures us all in our many parts and many moods that everything is going to be okay, despite any evidence to the contrary. When people say, “I don’t know how to pray,” what they often mean is “I don’t believe.” Or perhaps they are struggling with disappointment or anger with God and have taken a break from their prayer life.

Jesús también describe la serenidad con otras palabras: “Porque todo el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá; y todo el que pierda su vida por causa de mí y del Evangelio, la salvará” (Marcos 8, 35).

Così nell'Antico come nel Nuovo Testamento non ci sono interni: tutto si svolge fuori, all'aria aperta. Battaglie, amori, preghiere, sacrifici. Predicazioni, miracoli, morte e resurrezione. Anche il lavoro. Nell'Antico Testamento predomina il pastore. Nel Nuovo il pescatore. De Luca e Matino offrono la percezione ravvicinata di questo "spostamento" e di come i due mestieri rimandino alla valorizzazione delle risorse da cui dipende tuttora la qualità dell'esistenza umana: la terra e l'acqua.

Nell'anno del giubileo, dove il sacro si offre anche alla dissacrazione, l'autore si domanda che cosa sia rimasto di autenticamente religioso nel nostro tempo che più di altri registra un boom della spiritualità, dove però un Dio plurinvocato in molte lingue, in molti riti e nelle forme più svariate della religiosità, sembra si sia definitivamente congedato dal mondo per lasciare null'altro che un desiderio infinito di protezione, conforto, rassicurazione: desideri umani, insomma, troppo umani.

Susanna Tamaro raccoglie la sfida di "incrociare gli occhi dell'Agnello", di quel Gesù che è stato "re senza eserciti e senza esecuzioni". Ripercorrendo le quattordici stazioni della Via Crucis, dalla condanna del Cristo sino alla deposizione nel sepolcro, l'autrice affianca a ogni passo, a ogni tappa, una meditazione e una preghiera. Ci parla di fede, ma calandola nel vivo del nostro tempo, che pare aver perso la rotta indicata dagli insegnamenti evangelici e sacrifica ad altri dèi, i cui nomi sono noti: massa, denaro, potere, senza escludere gli aspetti disumanizzanti della globalizzazione.

Can the Bible be approached both as sacred scripture and as a historical and literary text? For many people, it must be one or the other. How can we read the Bible both ways? The Bible and the Believer brings together three distinguished biblical scholars--one Jewish, one Catholic, and one Protestant--to illustrate how to read the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament critically and religiously.

The tale of St. Josaphat, a prince who gave up his wealth and kingdom to follow Jesus, was widely told and read in the Middle Ages, translated into a dozen languages, and even cited by Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice. Only in the 19th century did scholars note the parallels between the lives of Buddha and Josaphat. In Search of the Christian Buddha traces the Buddha’s story from India to Persia to Jerusalem and then throughout Europe, as it was rewritten by Muslim, Jewish, and Christian authors, illustrating its unsuspected integration into European culture.

«La vita non è fatta di aggettivi ― buono, cattivo, intelligente, negligente, ribelle ― ma di verbi. Nascere, crescere, studiare, lavorare, amare, odiare, parlare, ascoltare. Se poi i verbi li coniughi, allora ti accorgerai del capolavoro che hai davanti.» Don Mazzi non si è mai lasciato fermare dalle etichette dei perbenisti e dei benpensanti, non ha mai smesso di cercare le persone nascoste dietro gli errori, gli insuccessi, le colpe.

古代から中世へ，一大転換期を舞台にした思想劇－キリスト教の基礎を据え，正統と異端を産み落とした教義論争史にわけいる．

Cuando nuestro señor jesús ascendió al cielo, dejó entre nosotros la promesa de que enviaría su Espíritu para consolarnos y guiarnos en esto tan complicado que llamamos vida. Sin embargo, con el pasar de los años, da la impresión que algunos en el Cuerpo de Cristo han olvidado el privilegio de tener al Espíritu Santo habitando entre nosotros y subestiman la capacidad para la cual fue enviado.

The summer of 2012 has become the Summer of 43 - as in the summer of R. A. Dickey, the 37-year-old knuckleball pitcher who wears Number 43 on the mound for the New York Mets. As his knuckleballs flutter and drop through the strike zone, befuddling batters and producing a 12-1 record by the All Star break, Dickey has become one of the greatest feel-good stories of baseball history: the man who found redemption, after years of adversity, by mastering one of the strangest and most difficult pitches in the game.

The King James Bible has often been called ‘the Book of Books’ both in itself and in what it stands for. Since its publication in 1611 it has been the best-selling book in the world, and many believe it has had the greatest impact.The King James Bible has spread the Protestant faith. It has also been the greatest influence on the enrichment of the English language and its literature.
