La oración de una viuda

Wed, 18 May 2022 20:37:52 GMT

Las crisis de la vida amenazan nuestra estabilidad espiritual.

La pérdida de un ser querido -se espere o no su muerte- es siempre traumática. El trauma de adaptarse a la nueva realidad de viuda mientras se enfrenta a una multitud de preguntas y decisiones urgentes puede ser abrumador.

En este libro de 60 meditaciones, Nell Noonan comparte con franqueza sus experiencias en los 26 meses posteriores a la muerte de su marido.

Describe su recorrido en el duelo como una jornada repleta de bendiciones y quebrantos. A pesar de los momentos álgidos, logró encontrar a Dios en medio del duelo.

Noonan reconoce que el proceso de duelo de cada persona es único.

«Mis escritos no pretenden decir qué, cómo o cuándo hacer nada», dice Noonan. «Las meditaciones sólo pretenden tomarle de la mano y sentir su dolor para que, con suerte, sea capaz de avanzar lentamente, paso a paso, hacia una vida más plena, menos quebrantada, hacia una vida nueva y llena de paz».

Este libro ayudará a las viudas, tanto si deciden leerlo solas como en grupo. Es un buen recurso para los grupos de apoyo al duelo, y un regalo apropiado para mostrar su preocupación por cualquier mujer que sufra la pérdida de su compañero/a.

Get Real

Finally, a book for men's spiritual development that actually starts with Jesus. Not lightly baptized Jungian archetypes. Not secular stereotypes that seek to present Jesus as a "man's man." This is good stuff.

—John Ortberg
Pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
Author of The Life You've Always Wanted

What exactly does it mean to be a Christian in today's world? Particularly, what does it mean to be a Christian man in 21^st-century American culture?

Derek Maul, an award-winning columnist and men's group leader, explores these questions in Get Real. The emerging 21^st-century Christian man is a spiritual adventurer who's unafraid to find strength in community with others, including other men. This man rejects the phony values of society—such as the incessant desire for power, youth, money, cars, gadgets—and finds courage in Jesus' invitation: "Follow me."

Maul delivers straight talk to men about faith, family, and desire for God in bite-size sections. He draws on his own experiences, including stories from his weekly men's group called The Men's Room.

Every man can have a deeper spiritual life. Find out how to follow Jesus and leave a legacy of faith.

A Leader's Guide for a 10-week group study is also available.

My Story, My Song

Sat, 14 May 2022 04:07:52 GMT

My Story, My Song is the heartwarming memoir of the late 88-year-old Lucimarian Tolliver Roberts, mother of Good Morning America coanchor Robin Roberts. It details pivotal moments in Mrs. Roberts' life, revealing how faith in God gave her strength and hope to face the challenges of life.

Good Morning America viewers came to know and love Lucimarian Tolliver Roberts. For many, the heartfelt connection began the day after Hurricane Katrina blew through the Gulf Coast. They eagerly watched as Robin stood among the remnants of her hometown and talked about her desperate search for her elderly mother, who had ridden out the storm in her Mississippi home.

Once she knew that her mother was safe, Robin admitted she was not surprised to learn that even as the winds howled and floodwaters rose, Lucimarian Roberts sang hymns.

As she was working on her memoir, Lucimarian still was able to recite the lyrics to hundreds of hymns and spirituals first learned in her childhood church. She credited hymns for helping her, a black woman born in 1924, live faithfully through the turbulent times of the Great Depression, segregation, the civil rights struggle, and the loneliness and constant moves that came with being married to a U.S. Air Force officer.

Robin writes, "Folks are drawn to Mom's humility, wisdom, and spirituality. Countless times I've been told, 'Your mother should write a book.' Reflections from Robin on her mother's life and faith cap each chapter.

Now you will be able to gain insights from Lucimarian Roberts' amazing life. "God has brought the most wonderful and sometimes the most unlikely people, of all ages and races, into my life to encourage and guide me on this spiritual journey of life," Mrs. Roberts said with bright eyes.

Highlights of My Story, My Song include:

Inspiring stories of how a mother's love and character affect generations to come
A tribute to the power of hymns and music to lift the heart out of loneliness and grief
Honest childhood stories of poverty and alcoholism and the strength to overcome
Insight into life as an African American during segregation and beyond
Examples of the powerful influence of mentors and role models
Encouraging stories of aging with grace
Reminders of the impact of integrity, character, and love

You will be inspired and uplifted by this memoir of a woman who faced the best and worst of times with faith, dignity, and grace.

Get Real Leader's Guide

Thu, 05 May 2022 20:22:06 GMT

"Sometimes it's tough to accept the truth that God did not create us to take on this world alone. Sure, Jesus, works powerfully in our individual lives. But God typically achieves his most compelling work where two or three—or just a few more—are gathered together."

Maul offers practical suggestions for a 10-week study of Get Real: A Spiritual Journey for Men. This Leader's Guide can be used in a number of ways:

with small groups of 6-12 men who meet and study together on a regular basis
with Sunday school or continuing education classes, as a guide for preparation and discussion
with one or more friends, as a conversational guide
as a web-based interactive study, with a virtual group simultaneously addressing the same chapters and the same questions
as an individual study companion and prayer guide for deliberate reading

Studying the book Get Real with the assistance of this Leader's Guide will help men grow spiritually and encourage follow-through on the most important commitment of their lives.

Individual copies of Get Real are available here.

Love Never Ends

Thu, 05 May 2022 20:27:56 GMT

"A threefold cord is not quickly broken" (Ecclesiastes 4:12).

A relationship where God and spouses are entwined is as strong and resistant to stresses as a braided cord.

"A stable, meaningful marriage is further strengthened by a shared spiritual journey," write the authors. "There's a reciprocal relationship between marital and spiritual growth. In our counseling, we often hear how joint faith is one of the most important factors in the vitality and stability of marriage."

In Love Never Ends, the Lauers show you how to strengthen both your relationship with God and with your spouse. Their approach is biblical, realistic, anecdotal, and practical.

Each chapter contains a "Face-to-Face" section with ideas for spouses to think about and discuss, followed by a prayer suggestion.

Engaging in the exercises in this book will help you

learn how to communicate better with your marriage partner
increase your intimacy
draw closer to God

Married since 1954, the Lauers speak from their extensive personal and professional experience. They have worked with other couples in marriage enrichment groups and in counseling, and they have coauthored 15 books as well as numerous articles published in magazines such as Psychology Today, Ladies' Home Journal, and Reader's Digest.

As you and your spouse read the book and engage in the exercises, you will grow in your understanding of Christian love and will practice mutual instruction in spiritual matters. Love Never Ends will help you learn to increase the number of joyous marital and spiritual experiences in your daily life.
