#1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer points out, "You can't give away something you don't have!" Many people who are trying to walk in God's love are doing so in their own strength, but they can't demonstrate God's love because they never stop to receive it themselves. Because God is love, loving and being loved is what makes life worth living. Once you learn how to truly accept God's unconditional love for you and walk in love like Jesus did, you will discover the sweet peace, deep joy, and unfailing strength that come with being willing to say, "REDUCE ME TO LOVE!" |

Startling new archaeological discoveries and such groundbreaking cultural phenomena as The Da Vinci Code and The Passion of the Christ have sparked a renaissance in impassioned controversies about religion and the life of Christ. Now, Sylvia Browne, with the help of her spiritual guide, delivers the truth about Him, His teachings, and His works for God as she answers such provocative questions as: - Was there a virgin birth? - Was there a Star of Bethlehem? - What did Jesus do for the first 30 years of his life? - What really happened at the crucifixion? - Was he married? Was he divine? - Is a Jesus lineage a possibility? In Browne's own words, the answers may "rattle the cages" of her millions of readers-answers that could only have come from someone who has visited the afterlife. |

À l'heure des migrations de masse, des pandémies mondiales, du réchauffement planétaire et des multinationales omnipotentes, la notion d'enracinement semble vouée à la ringardise. Pour beaucoup de chrétiens, elle paraît s'opposer de plus en plus à l'impératif de fraternité universelle. L'idée s'impose qu'il faudrait choisir entre la patrie du ciel et la patrie terrestre, qu'il serait urgent de dépasser les frontières pour réaliser l'unité du genre humain. L'universalisme semble n'être plus qu'un autre nom du mondialisme.Pour Laurent Dandrieu, cette vision est en contradiction avec l'essence même du catholicisme, religion de l'incarnation. Une contradiction aussi avec l'idée même d'universalisme chrétien, unité spirituelle qui a toujours marché main dans la main avec l'attachement de l'Église à la diversité des peuples et des cultures.À contre-courant des oppositions binaires, l'auteur renouvelle de fond en comble le sujet, appuyé sur un imposant travail de recherche et une analyse précise des textes catholiques. Ouvrant un débat vital pour l'avenir du christianisme, il défend l'idée qu'en oubliant l'esprit de la Pentecôte au profit de son exact contraire qu'est la tentation de Babel, l'Église prêterait la main à son pire ennemi, ce mondialisme qui vise à arracher l'homme à tous ses liens, culturels, historiques, humains et religieux.Appel vibrant à un renouveau catholique, Rome ou Babel trace une ligne de crête exigeante : la voie étroite qui mène à Dieu passe par une contribution singulière et enracinée à la civilisation chrétienne.« Un ouvrage essentiel, d'une exceptionnelle richesse. »(Mathieu Bock-Côté) Laurent Dandrieu est essayiste et journaliste. Il est l'auteur d'une dizaine de livres sur les questions religieuses, le cinéma ou l'histoire de l'art. |

Son of Hamas is now available with an all-new chapter about events since the book’s release such as the revelation of Mosab’s Israeli intelligence handler’s true identity, and Homeland Security’s effort to deport the author. Since he was a small boy, Mosab Hassan Yousef has had an inside view of the deadly terrorist group Hamas. The oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas and its most popular leader, young Mosab assisted his father for years in his political activities while being groomed to assume his legacy, politics, status . . . and power. But everything changed when Mosab turned away from terror and violence, and embraced instead the teachings of another famous Middle East leader. In Son of Hamas , Mosab reveals new information about the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization and unveils the truth about his own role, his agonizing separation from family and homeland, the dangerous decision to make his newfound faith public, and his belief that the Christian mandate to “love your enemies” is the only way to peace in the Middle East. |

If someone puts one more thing on my shoulders, I might collapse. Bestselling self-help book titles tell you that you’re brilliant, awesome, powerful—usually with an expletive thrown in, just to pound home the point. Do these affirmations feel accurate? Instead of blasting through projects and conquering the world, most of us feel like we’re crawling uphill. But Christians are still called to live a life that glorifies God and blesses others. How do we do that when we’re stretched to capacity? Just Show Up answers that question with a liberating message: God doesn’t expect you to do everything. And He certainly doesn’t expect you to do it all overnight. Simply showing up is often the most important thing. This book looks at present-day examples and also stories from Scripture of imperfect people used by God. Moses, by his own admission, wasn’t very eloquent, but he showed up and God used him to liberate and lead His people. We name churches and children after the disciples. But originally, they were just a bunch of uneducated nobodies with one thing in common: when Jesus said, “Follow me,” they showed up. With humor and candor, Dyck reflects on his own faltering progress while recounting inspiring stories of how God rewards the persistent presence of ordinary people. Just Show Up challenges readers to show up for God, family, community, and themselves. We tend to think it’s the big, bold moments that matter. In reality, it’s the steady accumulation of small acts of obedience to God that add up to a life of meaning and impact. –Dyck |

NEW YORK TIMES  BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is. |
