Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
De la Fundadora de EWTN, la Red Global Católica, nos llegan estas respuestas — con una aproximación profundamente práctica y humorística — a las preguntas más difíciles que se nos presentan en la vida. De una manera delicada y respetuosa, la Madre Angélica nos confronta con nuestros verdaderos problemas, levantando nuestro corazón hacia Dios y dirigiendo nuestra alma hacia el Cielo. Sus respuestas provienen, no desde un mundo sumergido en el vicio, sino desde una vida dedicada a Dios. Mientras lees sus consejos y su respuesta al llamado a crecer cerca de Cristo, la Madre Angélica se convertirá en la persona en la cual depositarás tu confianza en la batalla por adquirir la virtud. Te ayudará a vencer en la lucha contra tus pecados más enraizados, así como a vencer el miedo a la muerte, el dolor de la culpa, y los — aparentemente benignos —afectos que tengas por las cosas de este mundo. También te guiará hacia un mayor entendimiento de la vida espiritual explicándote por qué es tan difícil ser bueno; por qué debemos experimentar el sufrimiento —incluso las personas más buenas —y por qué Dios no responde todas nuestras oraciones. Teniendo a la Madre Angélica como guía también aprenderás: Cómo rezar aún cuando Dios parezca estar lejano o silencioso Maneras de sobreponerte a lo complicado de creer en Dios Los cinco pasos para descubrir la voluntad de Dios para ti Ocho clases de sufrimiento y la manera en que cada uno de ellos pueden configurar y purificar tu vida Maneras de evitar los errores más comunes en nuestra oración a Dios Qué pedir y qué no pedir en nuestra oración Maneras de vencer la lujuria y descubrir lo que Dios te está tratando de decir con esta tentación Cómo arrojar tu culpa en el océano de la Misericordia de Dios Cómo perdonar aún cuando tu dolor sea justificado La diferencia entre el orgullo bueno y falso Cómo escuchar cuando tu Ángel de la Guarda te previene del mal e inspira hacia el bien Cómo tu soledad encuentra significado en Jesús Por qué existe el Cielo y qué es lo que harás ahí Publicado hace unos treinta años, este libro se mantiene tan actual y vigente como siempre.

The Reason for My Hope
Author: Billy Graham
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0849965276
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
The saving message of the Gospel is the heartbeat of this preacher and evangelist. Millions around the world heard Billy Graham proclaim this unchanging truth. He never forgot the transformation of his own life, when he first said yes to God’s gift of salvation, and he witnessed multitudes turn their hearts to the God of Hope. What is the most hopeful word in History? For Billy Graham, that word is SALVATION. Billy Graham proclaimed God's Gospel with resolve and deep compassion. It is a message he preached for more than seventy years. And in this book you will sense its urgency, filled with hope for the future. Salvation is what we all long for, when we are lost or in danger or have made a mess of our lives. And salvation belongs to us, when we reach out for the only One who can rescue us—Jesus. The Reason for My Hope: Salvation presents the essence of that transformative message. It is biblical and timeless, and though simple and direct, it is far from easy. There are hard words, prophetic words, directed toward a culture that denies the reality of sin and distracts us from the veracity of Hell. But through its ominous warnings shines a light that cannot be extinguished—a beacon of hope that Jesus came “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).
