Naciste para liderar. Ahora es el momento de convertirte en líder. Los líderes se pueden encontrar en las salas de juntas, pero también se pueden encontrar en familias, escuelas y organizaciones de todo tipo, en cualquier lugar donde las personas interactúen, se nutran, creen o construyan. Contrario a la opinión popular, el liderazgo no está destinado a un grupo élite de personas que, por destino o accidente, se convierten en líderes mientras que todos los demás están destinados a ser seguidores de por vida. Después de capacitar personalmente a miles de líderes de todo el mundo, el Dr. Myles Munroe, autor de éxitos de ventas, expresa que, si bien todas las personas poseen el potencial de liderazgo, muchas no saben cómo cultivar la naturaleza del liderazgo y cómo aplicarlo a sus vidas. En El espíritu de liderazgo, el Dr. Munroe define las aptitudes únicas que exhiben todos los líderes efectivos, explica cómo eliminar los obstáculos a sus habilidades de liderazgo y le ayuda a cumplir con su vocación particular en la vida. >You were born to lead. Now it's time to become a leader. Leaders may be found in boardrooms, but they may also be found in families, schools, and organizations of all kinds, anywhere people interact, nurture, create, or build. Contrary to popular opinion, leadership is not meant for an elite group of people who, by fate or accident, become leaders while everyone else is consigned to being a lifelong follower. After personally training thousands of leaders from around the world, best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe reports that while every person possesses the potential of leadership, many do not understand how to cultivate the leadership nature and how to apply it to their lives. In The Spirit of Leadership, Dr. Munroe defines the unique attitudes that all effective leaders exhibit, explains how to eliminate hindrances to your leadership abilities, and helps you to fulfill your particular calling in life.

¿Cómo oras por la paz cuando parece que toda tu vida está fuera de control? En Oraciones diarias para recibir paz: un devocional y diario de reflexión de 30 días para mujeres, la autora Brooke McGlothlin te guía a través de oraciones por la paz donde sea que necesites: en tu familia, tu comunidad, tu lugar de trabajo, tu iglesia y el mundo en general. Este devocional de treinta días presenta el método de oración diaria "Piensa, ora, alaba" de Brooke, una forma práctica y bíblica de orar la Palabra de Dios sobre ti y las personas que amas. Jesús dijo: "La paz os dejo; mi paz os doy. Yo no os la doy como el mundo da. No se turbe vuestro corazón, ni tenga miedo" (Juan 14:27, RVR 60). Brooke dice que Jesús no simplemente nos da paz; Él es nuestra paz. Él es "nuestro refugio en la tormenta, un lugar donde podemos correr para obtener fuerza, consuelo y verdad para ayudarnos a superar cualquier circunstancia problemática que se nos presente". Esta paz ofrecida por nuestro amado Señor puede ser nuestra si solo oramos. > How do you pray for peace when it seems like your whole life is spinning out of control? In Everyday Prayers for Peace: A 30-Day Devotional & Reflective Journal for Women, author Brooke McGlothlin guides you through prayers for peace wherever it's needed--in your family, your community, your workplace, your church, and the world at large. This thirty-day devotional features Brooke's "Think, Pray, Praise" method of daily prayer--a practical, biblical way to pray the Word of God over yourself and the people you love. Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid" (John 14:27). Brooke says Jesus does not simply give us peace; He is our peace. He is "our refuge in the storm, a place where we can run to get strength, comfort, and truth to see us through whatever troubled circumstances would come our way." This peace offered by our dear Lord can be ours if we just pray.

" What do you get when you cross classical Hebrew with Koine Greek? It may sound like the metaphor for a strange new animal, but what it imparts is a fascinating dive into the Bible that's rarely-if ever-been attempted before. In Hebrew versus Greek: A Devotional Study of Scripture Through Two Lenses, Hebrew scholar Chaim Bentorah and Greek scholar Chris Palmer explore fifty concepts from the Septuagint or LXX and explain the subtle differences found in Hebrew and Greek. You will discover how: God's repentance over creating man benefits us Trusting in God binds us to His divine power God's command to "fear not" gives us the authority to be courageous Saying there is no God is like walking through fog God embraces us with His strength in the dance of life The authors note that the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has convinced many Bible scholars of the accuracy of the Septuagint. "This offers a whole new dimension to our understanding of the Old Testament and the importance of using the Greek Septuagint to explain some difficult passages," Chaim notes. Hebrew versus Greek will draw you closer to the Lord through simple devotional lessons that explore the rich meanings found in these ancient languages. "--

Este libro es un clásico sobre desarrollar la consciencia de la presencia de Dios. Su autor, el Hermano Lawrence (nacido como Nicolas Herman), fraile católico de la orden de los Carmelitas en el Siglo 17, fue un hombre de origen humilde que descubrió el mayor secreto de vivir en el reino de Dios aquí en la tierra. Es el arte de "practicar la presencia de Dios en un solo acto que no acaba". A menudo afirmaba que es Dios quien se pinta a sí mismo en lo más profundo de nuestras almas. Simplemente debemos abrir nuestros corazones para recibirlo a Él y a su presencia amorosa. Como humilde cocinero, el Hermano Lawrence aprendió una lección importante a través de cada tarea diaria: el tiempo que pasas en comunión con el Señor debe ser el mismo, ya sea que estés ocupado en la cocina, con varias personas haciendo preguntas al mismo tiempo, o de rodillas en oración. Aprendió a cultivar la profunda presencia de Dios tan a fondo en su propio corazón que pudo exclamar con alegría: "Estoy haciendo ahora lo que haré por toda la eternidad. Estoy bendiciendo a Dios, alabándolo, adorándolo y amándolo con todo mi corazón". Este clásico sin igual ha brindado bendición e instrucción a aquellos que pueden contentarse con nada menos que conocer a Dios en toda su majestad y sentir su amorosa presencia a lo largo de cada día sencillo. > This book is a classic on developing awareness of God's presence. Its author, Brother Lawrence (born Nicolas Herman), a 17th-century Catholic friar of the Carmelite order, was a man of humble origins who discovered the greatest secret of living in the kingdom of God here on earth. It is the art of "practicing the presence of God in a single act that does not end". He often claimed that it is God who paints Himself in the depths of our souls. We simply must open our hearts to receive Him and His loving presence. As a humble cook, Brother Lawrence learned an important lesson through each daily task: the time you spend in communion with the Lord should be the same whether you are busy in the kitchen, with several people asking questions at the same time, or kneeling in prayer. He learned to cultivate the profound presence of God so deeply in his own heart that he was able to exclaim with joy: "I am doing now what I will do for all eternity. I am blessing God, praising Him, worshiping Him, and loving Him with all my heart." This peerless classic has provided blessing and instruction to those who can be content with nothing less than to know God in all His majesty and feel His loving presence throughout each day.

Hablemos es una palabra de invitación para abordar un tema que puede determinar la calidad de todas las relaciones: de parejas, padres e hijos, amigos, laborales. Este libro lleva el poderoso mensaje del temor y la resistencia que genera tener conversaciones difíciles, especialmente con las personas más cercanas. Las evitamos, las posponemos y cuando ya no hay más opción que tener esa conversación, no nos entendemos o explotamos en amargas discusiones. En este libro pretendemos alentar efectivamente a las personas a participar en conversaciones significativas para romper las barreras que los separan y aumentar la comprensión y la empatía entre sí. Cuando logramos conversar constructivamente los temas difíciles de abordar, nuestras relaciones se fortalecen y crecen, y se afianza la intimidad emocional. >Let's Talk is an invitation to address a topic that can determine the quality of all kinds of relationships: couples, parents and children, friends, coworkers...all of them. This book carries the powerful message of fear and resistance that comes from having difficult conversations, especially with those closest to you. We avoid them or we put them off, and when there is no choice but to have that conversation, we don't understand each other or we explode into bitter arguments. In this book, the authors aim to effectively encourage people to engage in meaningful "difficult" conversations in order to break down the barriers that separate them and increase understanding and empathy for one another. When we manage to talk constructively about difficult topics, our relationships are strengthened, they grow, and emotional intimacy is established.

Cuando las circunstancias de la vida cambian, nos sentimos inseguros e incómodos. Al margen de que las causas del cambio sean pandemias, desastres naturales, traumas personales o problemas en el lugar de trabajo, nos encontramos dolidos, sorprendidos y confundidos sobre qué hacer. Michelle McKinney Hammond conoce las bolas curvas de la vida. Ella ha atrapado muchas de ellas. Pero cuando estaba de visita en Inglaterra para dar unas charlas y el mundo de repente entró en modo de confinamiento debido a la pandemia de COVID-19, la tomó por sorpresa igual que a nosotros.

When life circumstances change, we feel insecure and uncomfortable. Whether the causes of change are pandemics, natural disasters, personal trauma, or workplace issues, we find ourselves hurt, surprised, and confused about what to do. Michelle McKinney Hammond knows the curveballs of life. She has caught many of them. But when she was visiting England to give talks and the world suddenly went into lockdown mode due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she was caught by surprise just like us.

El autor de Radical, un éxito de ventas del New York Times, desafía a los cristianos a liberarse del evangelio actual que prostituye a Jesús por comodidad, poder, prosperidad y política, y a buscar por completo el verdadero evangelio que exalta a Jesús por encima de todo. El pastor David Platt cree que nos hemos vuelto muy buenos siguiendo un evangelio realmente malo, uno que adora las ideas estadounidenses sobre la verdad bíblica. Es hora de que los cristianos desilusionados, desalentados y divididos, y la próxima generación, sigan a Jesús hacia un futuro diferente. Tenemos que elegir: un evangelio estadounidense o el evangelio bíblico. División mundana o unidad de otro mundo. Compromiso con los ídolos de nuestro país o compromiso con el llamado de Dios en nuestras vidas. En No te detengas, Platt alienta a los seguidores de Jesús a tomar los riesgos necesarios y encontrar una recompensa inimaginable mientras: Trabajamos a favor, no en contra, unos de otros, especialmente cuando no estamos de acuerdo. Cambiamos el rumbo de siglos de división racial en la Iglesia Confiamos en toda la Palabra de Dios con convicción mientras amamos con compasión a todos los que nos rodean Hacemos justicia con bondad y experimentamos la buena vida según Dios Hacemos nuestra parte en la difusión del evangelio a todas las naciones del mundo Podemos experimentar la maravilla completa de Jesús y la belleza trascendente de su Iglesia aquí y ahora. Pero para hacerlo, algunas cosas deben ser diferentes. Empecemos no con "esa gente", sino con cada uno de nosotros. Con el evangelio en nuestros corazones y Dios como nuestro premio, sigamos adelante y no nos detengamos. > The New York Times bestselling author of Radical challenges Christians to break free from an American gospel that prostitutes Jesus for comfort, power, prosperity, and politics--and fully pursue the true gospel that exalts Jesus above all. Pastor David Platt believes we've gotten really good at following a really bad gospel--one that worships American ideas over biblical truth. It's time for disillusioned, discouraged, and divided Christians, and the next generation, to follow Jesus into a different future. But we have to make a choice: an American gospel or the biblical gospel, worldly division or otherworldly unity, compromise with the idols of our country or commitment to God's call in our lives. In Don't Hold Back, Platt encourages followers of Jesus to take necessary risks and find unimaginable reward as we: Work for, not against, each other, especially when we disagree Turn the tide on centuries of racial division in the church Trust all of God's Word with conviction while loving everyone around us with compassion Do justice with kindness and experience the good life according to God Play our part in spreading the gospel to all the nations of the world We can experience the full wonder of Jesus and the transcendent beauty of His church here and now. But in order to do so, some things need to be different. Starting not in "those people," but in each one of us. With the gospel in our hearts and God as our prize, let's press on and don't hold back.

"How can we raise the next generation to follow Christ and live according to God's directives in His Word? Author Lee Ann Mancini says what our children need is a heart change-not just a behavioral change-so that they become effective disciples. In Raising Kids to Follow Christ: Instilling a Lifelong Trust in God, she inspires parents, grandparents, teachers, and others to teach their children using loving guidance and discipline. Scripture tells us, "For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it" (Hebrews 12:11). Lee Ann shares tried-and-true methods for raising children who bear that peaceful fruit.Raising Kids to Follow Christ offers: Personal experiences and teachings based on God's Word Strategies and techniques for transforming disciplining into discipling Ways to help children control their emotions and actions in various situations Suggestions from some of today's brightest Christian minds in children's spirituality Real-life examples of parenting do's and don'ts Easy-to-understand apologetics for children and adults Fun ways to connect your child's heart to Christ Raising Kids to Follow Christ will help you raise children who are bold in their witness and committed to their faith rather than secular culture"--

"Suggests that women in particular yearn for a perfect life they can never grasp and thus turn to anything that might hit that "sweet spot" and empowers readers to understand where these cravings are coming from and get on a path that leads to emotional and physical health"--

"At age twenty-one, the pain of losing her mother to cancer sent Laurel Mathewson-with a naturally skeptical and questioning outlook-on a years-long existential journey. After an unexpected, overwhelming experience of God's love, Laurel felt God say to her, "Turn to Teresa. She will guide you." She understood that "Teresa" was the sixteenth-century saint Teresa of Avila, but she knew very little about her. Even after becoming an Episcopal priest, she had never read more than a few pages of Teresa's writings. Laurel began to read The Interior Castle, Teresa's book about the "dwellings" within our souls that we move through to develop an ever-deepening relationship with God through prayer. She truly marveled at discovering a text that illuminated her own spiritual path with such insight, candor, and clarity. And she continued to experience the intimate presence of a God who kept defying and transforming her cynical nature-and offered her the gift of healing. This beautifully written and moving memoir illustrates an ancient reality still very much alive today: the love and closeness of a good God, as known through Jesus Christ, who seeks to move out into the world, into our very bodies and lives. Not by nature or training inclined to believe such a wild claim, Laurel discovered that God is full of surprises. In every age, but perhaps particularly in our own, people hunger for personal narratives that help bring to life complex frameworks and ideas. An Intimate Good brings into focus not just Teresa's Interior Castle but also the living God who is at the heart of it, especially for modern readers who take the life of the mind seriously and yearn for confirmation of meaning and belovedness. Laurel's journey will lead you to a clearer understanding of the varied avenues God works in our lives over time, through prayer and other people, leading us in ways only possible by One who knows us intimately and loves us deeply. "--

Teresa of Avila, the beloved and renowned Christian mystic, describes the human soul as an "interior castle," or a series of "dwelling places" of great grandeur, beauty, and value. Her book is a tour of the different ways we relate to God in prayer, with varying intensity, awareness, and intimacy, culminating with spiritual unity with God. 250 characters: >
