Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una Obra de Amor es acerca de Dios trabajando para construir un puente de amor puro para que sus hijos perdidos y moribundos puedan cruzar y volver a casa para vivir con Él para siempre. Cualquier padre que haya perdido a un niño, movería el cielo y la tierra para llevarlos a casa, donde pertenecen, y Dios lo ha hecho. Este libro trata de todos nuestros viajes como pecadores perdidos y víctimas y cómo podemos convertirnos en hijos salvos, santos y vencedores. Es acerca de cómo encontrar nuestra propia identidad en la luz, de cuanto personalmente nuestro Padre celestial nos ama. Nos ama tan intensamente que es imposible para la mente humana comprender cuán amplio y profundo es ese amor verdaderamente. Se trata de encontrar nuestro verdadero valor, ya que somos una obra maestra completa del creador del universo para ser perfectamente imperfectos para un momento como éste. Dios nos ha dado a cada uno de nosotros un propósito especial y una misión que sólo nosotros podemos lograr. Este libro pone al descubierto las falsas enseñanzas del cristianismo moderno y señala a todos de vuelta a la verdadera fuente de la verdad que es la palabra de Dios y pinta una verdadera imagen de lo que debe ser la iglesia que Jesús construyó. El apóstol Pablo escribió: "si alguien, incluso un ángel del cielo, enseñara una doctrina otra que fue enseñada originalmente, que sea anatema" (Gálatas 1:8 - 9). ¡Conoce la verdad y te liberará! Jesús dijo: "¡Mis ovejas conocen mi voz y me siguen!" ¿Estás siguiendo a Jesús o a las tradiciones de los hombres y lo que ellos afirman es la verdad? Este libro declara el verdadero proceso de salvación como fue establecido desde el primer día en que comenzó la iglesia que Jesús construyó. No se les dice toda la verdad y nada más que la verdad acerca de la iglesia de Jesús. La mayoría de las gentes no sabe qué creer, otros no creen nada o se lo creen todo, pero ahora tu puede saber con certeza cuál es realmente la verdad. Dentro de la portada de estas páginas, tu aprenderás cómo la mente humana opera tanto la mente subconsciente y consciente. Aprenderás a descubrir la verdad sobre ti mismo si eres lo suficientemente valiente como para querer saber la verdad. También descubrirás cómo el estrés post- traumático puede afectarnos y cómo recuperarse de él. El amor es el súper pegamento, la cinta adhesiva que cura todas las heridas. Imagínese envuelto en una manta del amor insondable de Dios. Su vida puede cambiar drásticamente para mejor si tu abrieras toda tu mente y corazón a la verdad del Evangelio de Jesucristo.

Download or read book Amor Mundi and Overcoming Modern World Alienation written by Justin Pack and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love in many premodern cultures extended to and permeated the world or even the cosmos, but love in contemporary consumerist society tends to be sexualized, romanticized, and individualized. As a result, ancient visions of ethical love are difficult for moderns to comprehend, especially those rooted in premodern Western thought, or Native American thinkers that describe a love of the natural world that would help us live more responsibly on the Earth. This volume retrieves the significant narratives of love of the world and the concomitant ethical ramifications of those visions and argues that our age of science and technology has destroyed the ancient, living cosmos of previous visions and replaced it with a mechanical universe. This shift has resulted in various forms of destruction, diminishment, and forgetfulness. Overcoming modern world alienation requires recovering a sense of what it means to love the world and changing our practices to reflect our interconnection with it and our interdependency on it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The celebrated Springbok rugby hero Joost van der Westhuizen and his wife, the singer Amor Vittone, were a glamorous couple who captured the imagination of many South Africans. Known as their country’s own ‘Posh and Becks’, they were blessed with success, fame, public adulation and an apparently happy marriage. Until a shock report appeared on the front page of a local Sunday newspaper about a sex video ... In this book, the well-known journalist, and a personal friend and confidante of the Van der Westhuizens, Gavin Prins, now recounts the story behind the story – one that has never been published before. Prins, who broke the sex-video scandal on the front page of Rapport, chronicles how a simple farm boy who had become a national rugby hero met the woman of his dreams and married her, only to fall from grace in the most publicly humiliating way possible. With his confession came a measure of redemption – until he was brought to his knees by a life-threatening illness ... Hard-hitting, often shocking but ultimately uplifting, this is the true story behind the sensational headlines that have dogged South Africa’s most high-profile couple.
