Book Description
'Yo espero que nada sobrenatural suceda hoy en nuestra Iglesia' fue la honesta pero simpática reacción de una anciana miembro de nuestra iglesia' cuando su pastor lanzo una serie de veinte sermones abarcando toda mención sobre el Espíritu Santo en la Biblia. Sus esperanzas fueron frustradas cuando su mismo pastor tuvo un totalmente inesperado encuentro con el Espíritu Santo, llevándole (en realidad, orando) en lenguas, por un diácono enfermo quien se había autodesignado 'líder de la oposición' El resultado fue un completa sanación y reconciliación, juntos con un 'bautismo en el Espíritu Santo' para él y su esposa. Aquí está la substancia de aquellos estudios, demostrando la mutua interdependencia del Espíritu y las escrituras. Sin en Espíritu las escrituras no podrían haber sido escritas, ni pueden ser propiamente leídas o comprendidas. Sin las escrituras, el trabajo del Espíritu no puede ser reconocido o distinguido de inspiraciones que se afirman ser de él, de aquellas que son humanas o incluso de origen satánico. Dicho de otra forma, los dones del Espíritu sin el fruto pueden ser peligrosos. El fruto del Espíritu sin los dones pueden ser inútiles. La Biblia pone el poder y la pureza juntos en un balance similar a Cristo, vital para una misión efectiva en un mundo que quiere uno y no al otro.

Book Description
Consecutive polygamy (as many husbands or wives as you like but only one at a time) is now an accepted norm in contemporary society. Hardly surprising, since the social, legal, moral and financial restraints holding marriages together for a lifetime have been steadily eroded in a relativist age where anything goes. What is surprising is that divorce and remarriage are becoming as common inside the church as outside, even among Christian leaders and especially in the Evangelical stream. Believers have been outspoken about such issues as abortion and homosexuality though their Lord Jesus said nothing about either. He did say quite a lot about the subject of this book but there is either a reluctance to take his teaching at face value or an eagerness to enlarge his ‘exception’ until it becomes the rule. This volume primarily appeals to those for whom the Bible is the final authority in all matters of belief and behaviour, especially those who preach to, teach and counsel others. The author believes that the church should be leading the world uphill rather than following the world downhill. David Pawson has a worldwide teaching ministry, particularly for church leaders. He is known to many through Christian broadcasting and is the author of numerous books.

Book Description
The majority Evangelical view is that once someone has accepted Christ as Saviour they are guaranteed salvation. But is it safe to assume that once we are saved, we are saved for always? David Pawson investigates this through biblical evidence, historical figures such as Augustine, Luther and Wesley, and evangelical assumptions about grace and justification, divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He asks whether something more than being born again is required so that our inheritance is not lost. This book helps us decide whether ‘once saved, always saved’ is real assurance or a misleading assumption. The answer will have profound effects on the way we live and disciple others.

Book Description
Be Opened! The Catholic Church and Deaf Culture offers readers a people’s history of deafness and sign language in the Catholic Church. Paying ample attention to the vocation stories of deaf priests and pastoral workers, Portolano traces the transformation of the Deaf Catholic community from passive recipients of mercy to an active language minority making contributions in today’s globally diverse church. Background chapters familiarize readers with early misunderstandings about deaf people in the church and in broader society, along with social and religious issues facing deaf people throughout history. A series of connected narratives demonstrate the strong Catholic foundations of deaf education in sign language, including sixteenth-century monastic schools for deaf children and nineteenth-century French education in sign language as a missionary endeavor. The author explains how nineteenth-century schools for deaf children, especially those founded by orders of religious sisters, established small communities of Deaf Catholics around the globe. A series of portraits illustrates the work of pioneering missionaries in several different countries—“apostles to the Deaf”—who helped to establish and develop deaf culture in these communities through adult religious education and the sacraments in sign language. In several chapters focused on the twentieth century, the author describes key events that sparked a modern transformation in Deaf Catholic culture. As linguists began to recognize sign languages as true human languages, deaf people borrowed the practices of Civil Rights activists to gain equality both as citizens and as members of the church. At the same time, deaf people drew inspiration and cultural validation from key documents of Vatican II, and leadership of the Deaf Catholic community began to come from the deaf community rather than to it through missionaries. Many challenges remain, but this book clearly presents Deaf Catholic culture as an important and highly visible embodiment of Catholic heritage.
