Where is God in the midst of the tumult and change of our lives? Where is He in our joys and sorrows, our difficulties and struggles, our daily tasks and responsibilities? He is not distant or uncaring. He is with us and in us--so much nearer than we can imagine. And He invites us to live in ongoing love and fellowship with Him, whether we are worshipping Him in church, cleaning the house, reconciling our checkbooks, working at our jobs, gathering with family and friends, or engaging in any other activity of life. Nearer than We Imagine: Meditations on Practicing the Presence of God highlights pivotal areas of Brother Lawrence's renowned spiritual and practical guidance for entering into and remaining in the immediate presence of our loving heavenly Father. As you read excerpts from his classic Practice of the Presence of God, with related Scripture verses and inspiring illustrations, you will receive spiritual strength and nourishment to meet all your daily needs, experiencing unbroken communion with your heavenly Father. In the monastery kitchen and shoe-repair shop, Brother Lawrence learned to complete every act out of love for God as he discovered the joys of oneness with the Father and His purposes. He wrote, "By practicing God's presence and continuously looking at Him, the soul familiarizes itself with Him to the extent that it passes almost its whole life in continual acts of love, praise, confidence, thanksgiving, offering, and petition. Sometimes all this may merge into one single act that does not end, because the soul is always in the ceaseless exercise of God's divine presence." Discover Brother Lawrence's secrets to continuous love, joy, and rest in God, no matter where you are or what your task, and amid all the everyday demands and challenges of life.

When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8) Jesus's question is one that should bother all Christians. The number of faithful teenagers in America has been diminishing from one generation to the next. Today, ninety-six percent of those born between 1998 and 2013 don't believe in the Bible, absolute moral truth, or a supreme, loving, all-powerful Creator. They don't even believe in the concept of sin. We have failed the biblical command to pass our faith from one generation to the next. Yet youth specialist Jeff Grenell believes this trend is reversible. In fact, he says, once we stop doing youth ministry in a Nickelodeon way for teenagers living in a Stranger Things world, we will see the spiritual awakening we've been praying for. Next Gen Faith: 12 Spiritual Practices for Youth is designed to provide key steps for spiritual formation for Christian adults who work with youth as well as families, teens, and young adults seeking such a resource. With group discussion outlines written by youth leaders, it includes foundational, outward, and inward disciplines with the goal of drawing people closer to our awesome, powerful God. Next Gen Faith captures the essence of what's needed to raise godly young people who will become tomorrow's leaders, offering pointers for youth ministries based on theology and discipleship.

Ya somos bendecidos con toda bendición en cielo y en la tierra, dice la Palabra de Dios en el libro de Deuteronomio. Y esa bendición está íntimamente enlazada con una vida de fe inquebrantable que se afianza a cada paso de nuestra jornada. En La Biblia, ese viaje en el que nos embarcamos los cristianos fue iniciado por Abrahán, conocido como el Padre de la Fe. El camino de la fe es el libro que nos revela los misterios más ocultos de la fe, el poder de Dios que estamos llamados a conocer y la autoridad y las bendiciones con las que fuimos investidos por Él para vivir y a la vez bendecir nuestra generación y las venideras. ----- We are already blessed with every blessing in heaven and on earth, says the Word of God in the book of Deuteronomy. And that blessing is intimately linked with a life of unwavering faith that takes hold at every step of our journey. In the Bible, that journey on which we Christians embark was initiated by Abraham, known as the Father of Faith. The Journey of Faith is the book that reveals to us the most hidden mysteries of faith, the power of God that we are called to know, and the authority and blessings with which we have been invested by Him to live and at the same time bless our generation and those to come.

¿Qué te viene a la mente cuando piensas en la oración? ¿Se siente como algo para las personas santas, pero no para ti? ¿O como una experiencia mística que nunca podrías esperar lograr en la vida real?

We want to love God with all our hearts, but we often find ourselves striving in our efforts to please Him, acutely aware of our weaknesses. As our failures pile up, we become frustrated and discouraged. Have we missed the essence of the gospel? Is there a simple but true way to serve God that can fill us with joy and peace rather than fear and discouragement? St. Thérèse of Lisieux faced similar struggles. As a young woman who desired to abandon herself to God, she felt daunted at the thought of climbing "the steep stairway of perfection." Thérèse searched the Scriptures until she discovered a path to freedom she called her "little way." This is "the way of spiritual childhood, the way of trust and absolute surrender." It is a recognition that while we are small and imperfect, we have a mighty God who reaches out to us with infinite love, grace, and strength to take care of all our needs. As Thérèse followed this new path, she considered herself a "little flower" in Jesus's garden. She understood that she was beloved by her heavenly Father and delightful in His eyes. And she could bloom right where He planted her as she daily demonstrated His unconditional love to others in small but meaningful acts of kindness and interceded on their behalf. This beautiful book highlights St. Thérèse's deep insights into faith and devotion, while visually capturing, through simple floral illustrations, the theme of simplicity that permeated her life. As you read excerpts from St. Thérèse's autobiography, poetry, and letters--tracing such themes as "littleness," God's immense love for us, our devotion to God, loving others, prayer, humility, surrender, sacrifice, trust, and the joys of heaven--you will learn to rest in the loving arms of your heavenly Father, allowing your own faith to grow and flourish.

The two greatest forces in the world today are love and selfishness. Natural human love has failed because it is based upon selfishness. Does God have a solution for this problem? We believe that He has. It is The New Kind of Love that has been overlooked by the church but has recently been rediscovered. This book unveils the new kind of love that Jesus brought to the world. This love comes into a barren life and makes it blossom as a rose. It takes away the hardness and bitterness of life. There will be no empty lives, no barren lives. Every life may become a garden of delight. God has made it possible. To walk in love is actually to live in God. It is the realm where the Word dominates, where faith functions. Faith grows in the atmosphere of love. It becomes a dominating and creative force when love really rules. This new kind of love, agape, was born in the realm of divine revelation. It is a deep and profound sacrificial love that transcends and persists regardless of circumstances.
