Encontros diários com Jesus propõe uma aproximação renovada e revigorante à pessoa de Jesus, por meio de encontros diários com os evangelhos. Por outro lado, essa obra resiste em fornecer um retrato acabado de Cristo. Em lugar disto, convida-o a unir-se ao grupo que caminhou com ele, para que se surpreenda, mais uma vez, com o extraordinário mistério que significa o Verbo feito carne. A aventura que resultará destas leituras lhe permitirá desfrutar de Jesus de forma, talvez, inédita. També...

Encuentros transformadores con el Verbo hecho carneUna de las tendencias arraigadas en el ser humano es la de crear dioses a su imagen y semejanza (Éxodo 32). Impacientes con el obrar de un Dios que actúa con parámetros diferentes a los nuestros, optamos por un dios que piense y actúe como nosotros lo hacemos. Jesús no se libra de esta tendencia a domesticar lo divino. El problema es que un Jesús desprovisto de los atributos que más lo distinguen se vuelve inofensiv...

In this book Christopher Shaw analyses how liberalism has shaped our understanding of climate change and how liberalism is legitimated in the face of a crisis for which liberalism has no answers.The language and symbolism we use to make sense of climate change arose in the post-World War II liberal institutions of the West. This language and symbolism, in neutralising the philosophical and ideological challenge climate change poses to the legitimacy of free market liberalism, has a...

For decades, science believed the eyes served only one purpose: to capture light and form visual images of the world around us. But hiding in the back of the retina is a secondary, completely invisible optical system that has nothing to do with seeing. Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are specialized receptors designed solely to measure the intensity and color of ambient light. These microscopic sensors are hardwired directly into the brain's master clock. They ...

When you are gripped by a severe panic attack, your heart races, your breathing becomes rapid and shallow, and your conscious brain completely loses control over your physiological state. Therapy tells you to take deep breaths, but evolution has provided a much faster, brutal, and more effective off-switch hidden deep within your nervous system. By simply submerging your face in ice-cold water, you trigger the Mammalian Dive Reflex. This ancient evolutionary adaptation, shared with whales ...

This new study offers a serious and long-overdue examination of the unstable bifurcation between theology and secularity. Rather than understanding these two formative elements of culture to be in a constant state of opposition, the author chooses an alternative path toward their reconciliation. In this way, a constructive relationship is developed between secular and theological ideas wherein they symbiotically challenge one another in such a way as to create new and/or re-examined opport...

Leaders often work under heavy pressure. While the demands of ministry can threaten to overwhelm us, Lift Up Your Eyes reminds leaders of the vital need to focus on the Lord for daily strength. It is essential that we quiet our hearts, lifting our eyes to the One who can empower and equip us to accomplish His work. Lift Up Your Eyes has been written with the following principle in mind: The kind of life we live when no one is watching will significantly impact our public ministry. The priv...

This book is about the history, present and future of one the most important policy ideas of the modern era – that there is a single, global dangerous amount of climate change. That dangerous amount of climate change is imagined as two degrees centigrade of global warming above the pre-industrial average. Though the two degree idea is based on the value system of elite policy actors, it is been constructed in public discourses as scientific fact. This false representation of the concept un...

“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” This confession, made first by Peter to the Teacher of Galilee, is a cornerstone of any relationship with the Lord. Although Peter had received this insight from the Father, later pictures that we see of him in the Gospels show a considerably imperfect understanding of who Jesus really was. Peter’s distorted view of Christ fed attitudes and actions in him that frequently contradicted the basic principles of the kingdom of heaven. When our pe...
