Não se trata de um livro sobre Agostinho. De certa forma, é um livro que Agostinho escreveu sobre cada um de nós. Agostinho passou a vida buscando um lar para sua alma. Nessa trajetória, passou a conhecer como ninguém a natureza humana com seus medos e desejos, frustrações e esperanças. Um peregrino espiritual, ele se tornou também um guia para os corações inquietos, pois sentiu na pele a angústia e a incerteza da procura por respostas. Esse monge e filósofo fez as perguntas que todos querem fazer, e conheceu o sucesso e a frustração que vêm com a caminhada.

Mary Katherine Backstrom grew up the most basic of all youth group kids—pH level 14—and her faith only grew as she worked at churches, led youth ministry, became a missionary, and went on to become a bestselling Christian author. She knew all the practiced, perfect Sunday school answers and was driving happily down the right straight and narrow, until one day her young son asked a simple question: will my Jewish best friend go to hell? In the months and years that followed, that single question continued to snowball.

Welcome to Madison Park, a small community in Alabama founded by freed slaves in 1880. And meet Eric Motley, a native son who came of age in this remarkable place where constant lessons in self-determination, hope, and unceasing belief in the American dream taught him everything he needed for his journey to the Oval Office as a Special Assistant to President George W. Bush. This charming, engaging, and deeply inspiring memoir will help you remember that we can create a world of shared values based on love and hope.

In this classic theological treatise, the acclaimed theologian and religious leader Howard Thurman (1900-1981) demonstrates how the gospel may be read as a manual of resistance for the poor and disenfranchised. Jesus is a partner in the pain of the oppressed and the example of His life offers a solution to ending the descent into moral nihilism. Hatred does not empower—it decays. Only through self-love and love of one another can God's justice prevail.

Morgan Snyder’s Becoming a King unabashedly speaks directly to men, teaching them the life-changing truth about the power that God intends for them to responsibly step into for his kingdom, while also giving women an honest peek behind the curtain into the lives and hearts of the men they know and love.

"Life is largely a matter of expectation." Roman poet Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus), who coined the phrase "Carpe diem" or "Seize the day," seems to suggest that from the moment we rise each morning to the moment we lay down to sleep, we are filled with expectation. Yet, others would disagree, asserting that it is best to live without expectations in order to avoid painful disappointment. I submit to you that we can neither live without expectation or disappointment. So, that leaves us with the need to learn to manage our expectations and minimize disappointment.

Pope Benedict XVI's second encyclical, Saved in Hope, ("Spe Salvi" in Latin) takes its title from St. Paul, who wrote, "In hope we have been saved." In this audiobook, the Holy Father continues a line of thought he began with his first encyclical, God Is Love. Love and Hope are closely related in the spiritual life. Love of God involves hope or trust in God. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "The virtue of hope responds to the aspiration to happiness which God has placed in the heart of every man."

When you fast, your spirit becomes uncluttered by the things of this world and amazingly sensitive to the things of God. Once you've experienced even a glimpse of this and the countless rewards and blessings that follow, it changes your entire perspective. Jentezen Franklin gives you the keys to experiencing this kind of transformation in Fasting, one of the best and most comprehensive books available on the topic.

Prayer is hard. Often, unless circumstances demand it—such as an illness or saying grace before a meal—most of us simply do not pray. This kind of prayerlessness can leave us with a distressed spirit and practical unbelief characterized by fear, anxiety, joylessness, and spiritual depression. A Praying Life is a prayer guide that has encouraged thousands of Christians to pursue a vibrant prayer life full of joy and power. A life of prayer invites you to a life of connection to God.

A thoughtful exploration of the intersection of faith and politics, Exiles asks: What if we considered ourselves “exiles in Babylon” and turned to Scripture, not political parties, to shape our most passionate values?

A publicação da obra Discipulado, em 2016, pela Editora Mundo Cristão renovou o interesse do público de língua portuguesa por Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945). À época, já existiam versões publicadas no Brasil, mas os 120.000 exemplares vendidos de nossa edição nos últimos seis anos demonstram o vigor desse teólogo alemão ainda hoje. Leitores mais exigentes e conhecedores da obra de Bonhoeffer demandavam a publicação de Vida em comunhão, agora oferecida em nova tradução do original pela pena competente e sensível de Vilson Scholz.

Tozer, author of the spiritual classic The Pursuit of God, you can spend an entire year strengthening your daily walk with God.

M. Robert Mulholland Jr. defines spiritual formation as "the process of being formed in the image of Christ for the sake of others." Compact and solid, this definition encompasses the dynamics of a vital Christian life and counters our culture's tendency to make spirituality a trivial matter or reduce it to a private affair between "me and Jesus." In Invitation to a Journey, Mulholland helps Christians new and old understand that we become like Christ gradually, not instantly.

Trusted Bible teacher and Pastor Dr. David Jeremiah unfolds the Second Coming of Christ and His millennium reign here on earth with stunning clarity while also showing how the correct interpretation of these pivotal events changes how we live here and now.

Is there really any hope for a spiritual way of living that actually works?

In this deeply heartfelt book, author John Ortberg offers a guide for transformation when we know something needs to change but we can’t do it on our own.

You’re not alone. God’s offer for each of us to be redeemed and saved by the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, leaves people in denial, confused, and sometimes curious. God’s lifeline to eternity with Him becomes a fleeting thought as people go about their lives, focused on themselves and their priorities. In My Mentor’s Radical Love, you’ll discover the three primary pathways for how people respond to God’s Gospel Message. You’ll be challenged to journal your own response as you thoughtfully reflect on the consequences of your choice.

Why did Jesus teach in parables? Because some will have eyes to see and ears to hear, and others will not (see Matthew 13:10–17). That was clearly the case in His day, so how well do we really understand His many parables today? In The Parables of Jesus, Elder Gerald N. Lund shares not only the ancient context and setting in which each parable was taught, but also illuminates the language and layers found within the parables, helping us see the application for our own lives today.

Con los años, he notado una resistencia a tomarse un día libre. La respuesta es así: “Oh, ¿un día libre? Ciertamente no. Estoy demasiado ocupado haciendo la obra de Dios. ¿Vacaciones? De ninguna manera, tengo mucho que hacer por el Señor”. Cuando las personas dicen cosas como esta, asumen que otros estarán impresionados por su arduo trabajo y les darán palmaditas en la espalda por no ser perezosos u holgazanes. Y ciertamente, las personas que dicen tales cosas no entran en la categoría de perezosos.
