L'humanité présente hésite et souffre, au comble de sa puissance, parce qu'elle n'a pas défini son pôle spirituel. Elle manque de Religion. En face du phénomène évident et inéluctable de la "totalisation humaine", la seule attitude possible est d'"accepter", de se fier, et de se lancer courageusement en avant, escomptant que la Vie, qui nous jette dans ce creuset, nous aidera à développer la chaleur spirituelle (les forces de sympathie et d'Amour) qui nous fera sortir de la transformation, non pas mécanisés, mais humanisés et personnalisés.

For C. S. Lewis, reason and logic are the sensible way to approach faith and ethics. Much of the 20th century's ills are caused by ill-founded beliefs and opinions. Lewis' original approach remains as vital today as ever. He is able to take the most convoluted subject, turn it side on and shed bright illumination on it. To be able to see along things rather than at them - just like a beam of sunlight that invades the darkness of a toolshed - is, to Lewis, the way to understanding.

Plus l'Humanité se raffine et se complique, plus les chances de désordre se multiplient et leur gravité s'accentue ; car on n'élève pas de montagne sans creuser des abîmes, et toute énergie est également puissance pour le bien et pour le mal.

My adventure started one day as I considered writing a fiction story using Heaven as the main stage. You know - bright lights, angels, and wonderful people living in pleasant villages. That was the beginning of an adventure that would be 60 pages of scribbled wonder. So I could write about Heaven, I decided to ask God to allow me to visit there. Putting it mildly, going to Heaven would steal away my breath. Since the visit in 1991 my thinking and outlook on life changed me. I was already a Christian - but this was different.

El buen y simple título lo dice todo, pero Ensayos de un Salvador es un libro sobre el significado real o el significado verdadero de la salvación real.

La salvación tiene nada que ver en verdad con sacrificio de sangre o con muerte, porque todo aquel que llega a morir pues todo aquel ha perdido en verdad la salvación real. La salvación real tiene todo que ver con pedido de vida o con...

This book is about wisdom of heart. Wisdom of heart these days has been lost and the world does not believe that the Wise God the very loving Creator still speaks to the living man.

Muy largo en verdad y muy estrecho, muy triste en verdad y muy doloroso y muy desolado en verdad el camino verdadero hacia la salvación verdadera de Dios. Y solamente aquel con fe verdadera de Dios puede caminar ese camino. Y aquel que en verdad va por ese camino, ¡aquel en verdad es siervo amado de Dios y primogénito de la desolación! ¡Gozoso y alegre aquel que también camina por ese grandioso camino porque aquel en verdad encontrará la salvación verdadera de Dios!

The good book has everything to do with a very grandiose or tall personal search, a very grandiose or tall personal search of a unique writing style, and what greater way then crossing over the shortest verse possible, even though the shortest way is not the easiest! But even so, it was my way of developing one of many tall writing styles which have brought me to write much better and even though I no longer write in those styles, they are reflected in my other styles with more knowledge and inspiration! But see for yourselves...and thanks, much thanks in advance... Now, in The Need of ...

Rich Mullins was one of the formative voices in contemporary Christian music and touched millions of lives with his worship songs. He was renowned for playing his concerts in bare feet, worn-out jeans and old T-shirts, along with composing intricate melodies and incorporating dulcimers and tin-whistles in his songs. While Rich is best remembered for his hits such as "Awesome God" and "Step by Step", echoes of his heart and soul are best heard in most of his less popular works. Rich always did seem like a B-sides kind of guy, not wanting to draw much attention to himself or conform to ...

A Flaming Arrow in God's Bow is a mixture of narrative or prose poetry, autobiography, and thoughts on God. Jesus Christ plays a major role in this book, as is fitting since he's really stepped up to playing a major role in my day to day life. I wrote this book with boldness, trying to show one person's unique view on sin, forgiveness, hope, repentance, and reawakening of the spirit. I wanted the book to be unique, and I believe I accomplished that goal. Buy this book, and judge for yourself.

"L'Église n'est pas là pour condamner, mais pour permettre la rencontre avec cet amour viscéral qu'est la miséricorde de Dieu. Pour que cela se produise, il est nécessaire de sortir. Sortir des églises et des paroisses, sortir et aller chercher les gens là où ils vivent, où ils souffrent, où ils espèrent." (Franciscus) Chaque page de ce livre vibre du désir du pape François de toucher les âmes qui cherchent un sens à leur vie, un chemin de paix et de réconciliation, un remède à leurs blessures physiques et morales.

Il Cristianesimo come fatto mistico rappresenta una tappa nel cammino dell'evoluzione umana, mentre i processi dei Misteri e gli effetti che ne conseguirono sono la preparazione di questo fatto mistico. Il Cristianesimo, secondo Steiner, trasse il contenuto dei Misteri dall'oscurità dei Templi alla chiara luce del giorno.

Friends, the next voice you hear might be God's! Wouldn't it be wonderful if this were true? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could hear the Voice of God? And perhaps we can. Perhaps we all have heard the Voice of God but haven't recognized it.
