A preeminent physicist unveils a field-defining theory of the origins and purpose of lifeWhy are we alive? Most things in the universe aren't. And everything that is alive traces back to things that, puzzlingly, weren't. For centuries, the scientific question of life's origins has confounded us. But in Every Life Is on Fire, physicist Jeremy England argues that the answer has been under our noses the whole time, deep within the laws of thermodynamics. England explains how, counterintuitively, the very same forces that tend to tear things apart assembled the first living systems.But how life began isn't just a scientific question. We ask it because we want to know what it really means to be alive. So England, an ordained rabbi, uses his theory to examine how, if at all, science helps us find purpose in a vast and mysterious universe.In the tradition of Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, Every Life Is on Fire is a profound testament to how something can come from nothing.

How one woman's love for horses led her to a deeper love of GodWith edgy honesty and humor, Laurie Brock invites all who have longed for a deeper encounter with God to join her in the saddle (and occasionally on the ground) to discover how horses' ways of knowing can help humans discover God speaking to us.

Por primera vez en la historia, un n├║mero creciente de iglesias protestantes en Am├⌐rica Latina est├í cooperando en la formaci├│n de sociedades misioneras interdenominacionales y enviando misioneros a muchos lugares de ultramar, especialmente a Africa, Asia y Europa. Por otra parte, hay muy poca reflexi├│n  misionol├│gica. La mayor parte de la literatura que se usa en los cursos y encuentros sobre la misi├│n ha sido traducida del ingl├⌐s y generalmente se caracteriza por su pragmatismo. En lo que ata├▒e al estudio de la base b├¡blica de la misi├│n, existe un gran vac├¡o. Ni en castellano ni en portugu├⌐s hay nada comparable a Transforming Mission por David Bosch. La presente obra surgi├│ de la toma de conciencia de este vac├¡o a la vez que del considerable crecimiento, en estos ├║ltimos a├▒os, del n├║mero de estudiosos b├¡blicos que bien pod├¡an ser desafiados a estudiar y escribir un libro sobre el tema propuesto. El proyecto pudo concretarse gracias a la consecuci├│n de fondos, por parte de la Fundaci├│n Kair├│s de Buenos Aires, del Research Enablement Program (REP) del Overseas Ministries Study Center (OMSC) de New Haven, Connecticut, Estados Unidos, para realizar una serie de consultas con el prop├│sito de producir el libro. Las consultas se llevaron a cabo entre mayo de 1995 y marzo de 1996, convocadas por la Fraternidad Teol├│gica Latinoamericana, en  colaboraci├│n con tres centros de reflexi├│n teol├│gica: el Centro Kair├│s de Discipulado y Misi├│n (Buenos Aires), el Centro Evang├⌐lico de Misiolog├¡a Andino-Amaz├│nica (Lima) y la Comunidad Teol├│gica (M├⌐xico). La presente obra es una primicia en la producci├│n teol├│gica evang├⌐lica en Am├⌐rica Latina. Aunque con algunos vac├¡os en lo que respecta al canon b├¡blico, cubre pr├ícticamente toda la Biblia, de la cual hace una lectura misionol├│gica contextual.

"Transformative practices from the beloved bestseller. In 2001, Toni Bernhard got sick and, to her and her partner's bewilderment, stayed that way.
