Following Jesus: Stories of Discipleship and Devotional Life

“Dr. Ward writes in an authentic and practical style that puts the reader at ease like we’ve just sat down in a conversation together. It is an easy read, packed full of practical examples that teachers and principals can immediately apply. But more deeply, the transparency found within the plethora of rich stories feels like rare and honest insights that remind us of how human we are.

Fuga De Babilonia: Uma História de Salvação nas Ruas de Bagdá
S. Joseph Kidder
odos falavam comigo ao mesmo tempo.
- Como você pode fazer isso? - meu pai gritou.
- Sim, você é louco! - um dos meus tios gritou.
- Você está envergonhando nossa família - esbravejou minha mãe.
Havia pessoas gritando comigo de todas as direções enquanto meus pais e parentes tentavam me convencer a abandonar minha nova fé.
- Como você pode querer ser adventista do sétimo dia? Essa religião é uma seita.
- É uma religião judia!
- Onde você está com a cabeça?
Eu fiquei parado, confuso e sob toda aquela grande tensão. Finalmente, quando meu pai pensou que não estava chegando a lugar nenhum comigo e que eu não mudaria de ideia, ele tirou os sapatos, jogou-os em mim e cuspiu em mim. Vendo isso, meu primo Basher - de quem eu era muito próximo - sentiu que era seu dever me colocar no eixo. Então, ele e um dos meus irmãos me agarraram pelos braços, me levantaram e começaram a me bater. Enquanto eles me batiam, me empurravam em todas as direções.
Assim começou sua longa jornada da Babilônia de sua vida secular no Iraque para o incrível amor de Deus. Quando ele aceitou os planos divinos para sua vida, não sabia das muitas lutas e sacrifícios que o aguardavam, mas a oração, a fé nas Escrituras e o apoio de sua nova família da igreja o levariam a uma vida de mistério e serviço que continua até hoje. -

Christ in the City: Six Essentials of Transformational Evangelism in the City Center
Skip Bell
The significance and challenge of the city for the Christian church is the question of how to go about sharing the Gospel there. It is easy to react to the changes happening in the city, to critique the influence it has on human culture. But critical responses to change do not constitute a positive witness. We cannot simply sound an alarm. Warnings are of little help when humans are shaping and defining new horizons in technology and striving to solve vexing problems.

El Camino de la Salvación: Los Cinco Principios de la Reforma
Ricardo Norton
"Five centuries ago, when the bodies of men belonged to the king and their souls to the church, there were resounding libertarian voices whose echoes remain: the voice of the reformers. They proclaimed the ancient truths of the Bible, above all, five postulates that came to be known as "the five alone": saved only by grace, only by means of faith, only by the sacrifice of Christ, belief in Scripture alone, and the glory be only to God.
Soon, the Bible was being read by the people, and its benefits were incalculable. The nations where these postulates were accepted knew freedom and progress.
In the short book, with ownership and simplicity, Dr. Ricardo Norton develops these concepts and puts these benefits within the reach of his readers."
