EN POS DE LO SUPREMO ha sido un compañero muy cercano durante la mayor parte de mi vida cristiana. Este libro me lo recomendó por primera vez mi pastor, Charles Stanley, que siempre expresa su amor por su poderoso contenido. Es una obra que trasciende el tiempo. Originalmente, Oswald Chambers compartio estos pensamientos como parte de sus clases en la Facultad de Enseñanza Biblica en Clapham, Inglaterra, de 1911 a 1915; y como articulos devocionales mientras servia como misionero de la Asociacion Cristiana de Jovenes (YMCA, por su sigla en ingles), de 1915 a 1917.La YMCA lo designo para servir en Egipto junto a las tropas de Australia y Nueva Zelanda, responsables de vigilar el Canal de Suez durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Estas clases y devocionales fueron compilados mas tarde por la esposa de Chambers y se publicaron en forma de libro en 1927 en Inglaterra, y en 1935 en los Estados Unidos. Desde entonces, se ha convertido en el libro devocional mas vendido de todos los tiempos.La idea de una nueva edicion vino como resultado de cambios significativos en la lengua inglesa ocurridos en el siglo XX. Como propietario de una libreria cristiana, ya he vendido miles de ejemplares de En pos de lo supremo a lo largo de los años. Sin embargo, debido a los cambios linguisticos, senti una preocupacion creciente por saber si los lectores estaban extrayendo todo el contenido que ofrece el libro. Una mañana, despues de haber leido el texto devocional indicado para ese dia, le pedi al Señor que pusiera sobre alguien la responsabilidad de editarlo. Cuanta fue mi sorpresa al sentir, en aquel mismo momento, la direccion de Dios para que yo mismo hiciera ese trabajo. Y comence la obra ese mismo dia.En tus manos esta el resultado de aproximadamente 1.800 horas de investigacion y revision editorial. Este libro no es una parafrasis del trabajo original, sino que puede considerarse una traduccion de los originales. Miles de estudios de palabras se hiceron para llegar a una edicion acertada y comprensible. Esta edicion incluye, ademas, la referencia de cada cita de las Escrituras, lo cual permite que el lector pueda profundizar posteriormente el estudio de los pasajes biblicos. (Nota: Las citas de las Escrituras sin una indicacion de las referencias corresponden a pasajes que ya se mencionaron anteriormente en la respectiva seleccion). Si haces tu lectura con este libro en una mano y la Biblia en la otra, tu beneficio sera enorme.Este libro no es la Biblia; su intencion es llevarte a ella. Deseo que esta obra abra tu mente para los tesoros de la verdad de la Palabra de Dios y su percepcion y entendimiento, la cual fue explorada por Chambers. Que puedas usar este libro como ayuda en tus meditaciones sobre las Escrituras y en la aplicacion practica de ese discernimiento en tu vida diaria.James ReimannJosue 1:8

La búsqueda de un fundamento revelado para la adoración eclesial está lejos de ser una mera preocupación académica reservada a un grupo especializado de teólogos bíblicos.Siempre ha sido un desafío para la comunidad de la fe y hoy es casi el clamor de las congregaciones atravesadas por tendencias y corrientes, muchas veces en pugna. Los conductores y lideres del culto necesitan de respuestas y orientaciones que sean satisfactorias pero tambien legitimas.De ahi la bendicion del texto biblico, con sus relatos y protagonistas, como fuente de reflexion e inspiracion tanto para dirigentes como para todos aquellos que desean un encuentro mas profundo y significativo con Dios. Por tanto, un buen acercamiento a la teologia de la adoracion, es el estudio de los textos narrativos capaces de orientar la teologia y la practica del culto contemporaneo.Algunos de los textos biblicos mas significativos acerca de la adoracion, se presentan en esta obra, aquellos que se ocupan de: (1) ciertas teofanias patriarcales, (2) las manifestaciones del exodo y el Sinai, (3) algunas vivencias personales y corporativas, (4) las visiones del trono de Dios, y (5) algunos incidentes de los Evangelios.Adoracion: Su significado teologico y liturgico en la narrativa biblica, es el resultado de un proyecto de investigacion presentado a la Secretaria de Investigacion de la UAP, al igual que dos libros anteriores: El culto que agrada a Dios: Criterios revelados acerca de la adoracion (2007) y La musica que agrada a Dios: Criterios y orientaciones para el ministerio de la musica (2013).

"El misterio del futuro revelado" hace que el libro de Daniel hable directamente a la mente y al corazón de las personas en la actualidad.

Se hace tambien un elogio de la misantropia y se desarrolla la naturaleza del delito.

Illuminating Advent Through Diverse Voices from Early Christianity In Candles in the Darkness, historian Lynneth Miller Renberg and theologian Adam R. Renberg invite us to travel back in time and encounter faithful voices from many walks of life, including bishops and mothers, monks and nuns, priests, pastors, and noblewomen.For each day of Advent and the Christmastide, this thoughtful devotional will connect you to the global and historical body of Christ, offering a new, deeper experience of the season through rediscovering treasures from Christians of long ago.The writers featured in Candles in the Darkness lived throughout the early Christian world, from Scandinavia and the British Isles to Ethiopia and China. They include well-known leaders such as Augustine of Hippo and Francis of Assisi, as well as many largely forgotten figures. With a variety of sermons, poems, theological meditations, and more, these selections draw you into the wonders of Christs first and second comings. Through biographical sketches at the end of the book, youll learn more about each historical believer.Each daily reading for Advent and the twelve days of Christmas includes a Scripture text, an excerpt from an author from the second through thirteenth centuries, a devotional reflection, and a prayer. By reflecting on the perspectives of women and men from different chronological, geographic, and theological traditions in the ancient and medieval church, your readings of familiar Scripture passages will be enriched with new perspectives and insights from past brothers and sisters in Christ. As you worship and learn together with them, youll be reoriented toward Christ, our light in the darkness.When your spiritual life feels stagnant, the world feels too noisy, or Advent feels like just another repetitive season, Candles in the Darkness can help you know God more fully by seeing him through the eyes of past believers.

"When we interact with our LGBTQ+ neighbors we are not interacting with an ideology, a political movement, a social media post, a caricature from a movie, or a law being debated in Congress. We are interacting with people made in the image of God, who our Savior bled and died to redeem. We are interacting with someone God literally loved to the point of his own death."Cultivate Community With LGBTQ+ Neighbors Too often, fear and suspicion have characterized churches response to LGTBQ+ people. As we remain committed to the historic Christian teachings about marriage and sexuality, American evangelical churches have also harmed a community we have not understood. Our default has been to keep LGBTQ+ people at arms length.But there is another way, one that resists both culture wars and the pressure to revise scriptural teaching; one that embraces people and clings to historic witness.In Love All Our Neighbors, Tony Scarcello shows how holding a traditional sexual ethic does not have to lead toward the exclusion of LGBTQ+ people from church. Drawing from biblical theology, cultural data, and the authors personal experience as a same-sex-attracted pastor, this book teaches traditional Christians and churches how to truly care for LGBTQ+ people. Scarcello explains how churches can and should be places of conviction, humility, and radical love for everyone.In Love All Our Neighbors, youll learn how Jesus loves LGBTQ+ people and desires to know them, how churches have built unbiblical barriers between LGBTQ+ people and Jesus, and how to dismantle these barriers and minister with care, without compromising orthodox theology. If youre a church leader who upholds a traditional sexual ethic and seeks to genuinely care for LGBTQ+ individuals, youll find this book both challenging and transformative. With thoughtful guidance, Love All Our Neighbors equips churches committed to historic Christian teaching to overcome barriers, fostering a Jesus-centered, life-giving community that embraces everyone with grace and love. Our churches can become environments where LGBTQ+ people can find and follow Jesus in life-giving community.

Memoirs of Father Germán (Memorias del Padre Germán) is one of the most beloved and spiritually profound works of Amalia Domingo Soler, a prominent 19th-century Spanish Spiritist writer. Written in the form of dialogues between the author and the spirit of Father German, the book presents a series of moral, philosophical, and spiritual teachings communicated through mediumship.Across these revelations, Father German offers reflections on divine justice, reincarnation, the immortality of the soul, and the purpose of human suffering. The narrative blends elements of autobiography, spiritual instruction, and moral allegory, emphasizing compassion, humility, and faith as the foundation of spiritual progress.Domingo Soler uses simple yet deeply emotional language to make complex metaphysical concepts accessible to all readers. Through the conversations, she seeks to comfort those who mourn and guide those searching for meaning in life and beyond. More than a Spiritist document, Memoirs of Father German stands as a timeless message of hope and love, expressing the continuity between the visible and invisible worlds. It remains a classic of Spiritist literature, uniting Christian ethics with the universal laws of cause, effect, and eternal evolution.
