Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Encounter Jesus Prayerfully with Mary of Bethany. You are in the presence of Jesus. Right now. And he loves you like he loved Mary, her sister Martha, and her brother Lazarus. Like them, we can open our home to him. Like them, we can be befriended by him. This short book is both a guide to prayerful reading of Scripture and an invitation to join one of Jesus' closest friends as she sits at Jesus' feet in faith, falls at Jesus' feet in hope, and anoints Jesus' feet in love. The exercises in At Jesus' Feet will help you look afresh at the Lord, draw near to him, and encounter him personally. He is inviting you to 'choose the better part.''.

But people who have been hurt by the attacks of Christian nationalism can help us rediscover God's vision for faith in public life.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'In this highly energetic volume, Louis Markos makes his case that education must recover its power to form persons. Drawing from both Christian and the classics of the literary and intellectual tradition of the West, Markos takes a stand in today's debates around the purpose and means of education. Education, Markos thinks, is ultimately about the formation of whole persons to be responsible citizens in our shared public life. To make this case, he brings together theologians like Augustine, philosophers like Plato and John Dewey, and novelists such as Dorothy Sayers to model the essential value of Christian classical education'.
