Children love to play hide and seek. It's the one childhood game we all remember playing. Adam and Eve were the original "hide and seek" team. Suddenly confronted with their own vulnerability and shame through their own self-deception, they attempted to disappear, disguising themselves with their own makeover from the Garden. But God came looking for them, seeking to restore not only their relationship with Him, but their true sense of identity.

“Ascolta il canto della vita. Non è un caos, è un cosmo. La felicità è uno stile di vita, non la conseguenza di un desiderio: è un’attitudine. Puoi essere felice qui ora: se riesci a essere in silenzio, consapevole della vita che ti circonda e che è anche dentro di te, sarai felice. Ogni cosa nell’esistenza è felice, ad eccezione di te. L’esistenza è felicità, è un’eterna celebrazione, è una festa.”

In The Art of Leading Change, author Mike Bonem asks: What is the primary distinction between the science and the art of change leadership? His answer: People! And leading people in churches and ministries is messy. The science of change leadership doesn't ignore the human element, but it tends to overlook the differences between people and the significant impact those differences have on how to best lead change. The art of leading change is all about people. We can't do the work God has called us to do without people, yet each individual—and each collection of individuals—is unique.

The messianic quest emerges most acutely during difficult times when people experience a sense of powerlessness and desperation. But the concept of a messiah — a savior — has its root in the writings of ancient Judaism and early Christianity, evolving from an anointed leader to universal savior.

The story of five best-selling novels beloved by evangelicals, the book industry they built, and the collective imagination they shaped. Who are evangelicals? And what is evangelicalism? Those attempting to answer these questions usually speak in terms of political and theological stances. But those stances emerge from an evangelical world with its own institutions - institutions that shape imagination as much as they shape ideology.

Throughout history, Christians have pictured the relationships between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit through analogies. Such illustrations—some from the West but also from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and other places—come laden with theological ramifications that the church has rejected (heresies) or embraced (doctrines). In Three in One, William David Spencer shares a lifetime of insights from teaching within the global church, bringing fresh images and analogies of the Trinity to deepen our theological vocabulary.

When John Donne stood in the pulpit of St. Paul's, the lyricism of a great poet fused with the devotion of a holy man. There were no prepared sermons, for he spoke only from notes, and what he said was later transcribed from memory. But the sermons were overwhelming; for behind him was a lifetime devoted, as poet, philosopher and devine, to God.

Эта книга расскажет о том, как в христианской иконографии священное переплеталось с комичным, монструозным и непристойным. Многое из того, что сегодня кажется возмутительным святотатством, в Средневековье, эпоху почти всеобщей религиозности, было вполне в порядке вещей. Речь пойдёт об обезьянах на полях древних текстов, непристойных фигурах на стенах церквей и о святых в монструозном обличье.
