Bøger af Shane Claiborne

Komme dit rige er en tidebønnebog med bønner til hver dag i året. Den er udarbejdet med et blik på, hvordan man beder i forskellige kirkesamfund. Formålet er at hjælpe kirken til at blive ét, som Gud er én.Bogen tager det allerbedste fra kirkens tradition og sætter det ind i en nutidig sammenhæng. Den indeholder morgenbønner til hver dag i året, aftenbønner til ugens syv dage, en middagsbøn og bønner til særlige anledninger.Komme dit rige leder også brugerens opmærksomhed hen på vigtige datoer og troshelte i kirkens historie, og på vigtige historiske datoer i kampen for frihed og retfærdighed. For kristne nøjes ikke med at bede – de har også altid søgt at blive svaret på deres egne bønner.

Common Prayer helps today's diverse church pray together across traditions and denominations. With an ear to the particulars of how various liturgical traditions pray, and using an advisory team of liturgy experts, the authors have created a tapestry of prayer that celebrates the best of each tradition. The book also includes a unique songbook composed of music and classic lyrics to over fifty songs from various traditions, including African spirituals, traditional hymns, Mennonite gathering songs, and Taize chants. Tools for prayer are scattered throughout to aid those who are unfamiliar with liturgy and to deepen the prayer life of those who are familiar with liturgical prayer. Ultimately, Common Prayer makes liturgy dance, taking the best of the old and bringing new life to it with a fresh fingerprint for the contemporary renewal of the church. Churches and individuals who desire a deeper prayer life and those familiar with Shane Claiborne and New Monasticism will enjoy the tools offered in this book as a fresh take on liturgy.

Para todos los cristianos que se hallan en conflicto entre las palabras de Jesús y la realidad de sus propias vidas.

"e;Prayer is not so much about convincing God to do what we want God to do as it is about convincing ourselves to do what God wants us to do."e; -from the IntroductionActivists Shane Claiborne and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove show how prayer and action must go together. Their exposition of key Bible passages provides concrete examples of how a life of prayer fuels social engagement and the work of justice. Phrases like "e;give us this day our daily bread"e; and "e;forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors"e; take on new meaning when applied to feeding the hungry or advocating for international debt relief. If you hope to see God change society, you must be an ordinary radical who prays-and then is ready to become the answer to your own prayers.

The gospel teaches that every human is sacred. Refugee children and Islamist terrorists. Police officers and young African Americans. Unborn babies, always, and also abortionists. Orange-haired casino owners, former First Ladies, progressive hipsters, prosperity-gospel televangelists, members of Congress, Confederate-flag-waving white nationalists? Sacred. This absurd claim is at the heart of the gospel. Each person is created in the image and likeness of God. Each is someone for whom Jesus died. And if this is true, we have much work to do. The writers in this issue may not agree on the best ways and means, but each challenges us to consider the implications of this gospel of life that makes no exceptions.Also in this issue:-- A former asylum seeker returns to Iraq to stand with Christians on the run from ISIS.-- Shane Claiborne tells us why abolishing the death penalty is the church¿s business.-- Joel Salatin, Americäs most famous farmer, reveals what pigs can teach us about the glory of God.-- John Dear reports on the Vatican¿s historic turn toward nonviolence.-- Erna Albertz tells Richard Dawkins how her sister with Down syndrome can help him.-- Gun owners respond to gun violence with a fresh take on ¿swords into plowshares.¿-- Ron Sider looks at the consistently pro-life witness of the early church.-- A hospice nurse reflects on euthanasia and the value of being a burden.-- Jason Landsel asks what made MohammadMuhammad Ali great.Then there¿s new poetry, book reviews, a children¿s story, insights from Pope Francis and George MacDonald, and art by Pawel Kuczynski, Xenia Hausner, William H. Johnson, Käthe Kollwitz, and Deidre Scherer.Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus¿ message into practice and find common cause with others.

What does it mean to take Jesus' words seriously, and how do they affect the 'hot' issues facing us at the beginning of the 21st century?

Living as an Ordinary Radical Many of us find ourselves caught somewhere between unbelieving activists and inactive believers. We can write a check to feed starving children or hold signs in the streets and feel like we've made a difference without ever encountering the faces of the suffering masses. In this book, Shane Claiborne describes an authentic faith rooted in belief, action, and love, inviting us into a movement of the Spirit that begins inside each of us and extends into a broken world. Shane's faith led him to dress the wounds of lepers with Mother Teresa, visit families in Iraq amidst bombings, and dump $10,000 in coins and bills on Wall Street to redistribute wealth. Shane lives out this revolution each day in his local neighborhood, an impoverished community in North Philadelphia, by living among the homeless, helping local kids with homework, and ';practicing resurrection' in the forgotten places of our world. Shane's message will comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable . . . but will also invite us into an irresistible revolution. His is a vision for ordinary radicals ready to change the world with little acts of love.

In this reasoned exploration of justice, retribution, and redemption, the champion of the new monastic movement, popular speaker, and author of the bestselling The Irresistible Revolution offers a powerful and persuasive appeal for the abolition of the death penalty.The Bible says an eye for an eye. But is the state’s taking of a life true—or even practical—punishment for convicted prisoners? In this thought-provoking work, Shane Claiborne explores the issue of the death penalty and the contrast between punitive justice and restorative justice, questioning our notions of fairness, revenge, and absolution.Using an historical lens to frame his argument, Claiborne draws on testimonials and examples from Scripture to show how the death penalty is not the ideal of justice that many believe. Not only is a life lost, so too, is the possibility of mercy and grace. In Executing Grace, he reminds us of the divine power of forgiveness, and evokes the fundamental truth of the Gospel—that no one, even a criminal, is beyond redemption.

Designed to help individuals, families, and congregations pray, sing and act together across traditions and denominations, authors Shane Claiborne, Enuma Okoro, and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove offer the Common Prayer Pocket Edition to help you and your community join together each day with the same songs, scriptures, and prayers.

Tænk nu, hvis Jesus faktisk mente, hvad han sagde! – om at elske vores fjender, vende den anden kind til, gøre fælles sag med de fattige, og alt det andet. Så ville det jo føre til et helt andet liv, til en kærlighedens revolution.Denne bog er Shane Claiborne’s spændende beretning om et liv blandt Calcuttas spedalske, i krigens Bagdad og blandt hjemløse i Philadelphia. Fortalt uden løftede pegefingre og med en forløsende humor.Forfatteren inviterer læseren ind i en åndelig bevægelse, der begynder i hjertet og rækker hænderne ud til en verden i nød. Gennem eksempler fra sit eget liv stiller han nærgående spørgsmål om kirken og verden, og han udfordrer kristne til at leve deres tro ud i et autentisk liv og på den måde forandre verden med Kristi radikale kærlighed.
