Seduced by evil, Cain kills Abel then flees with his sister to the land of Nod. Bereaved of all their children in one day, Adam and Eve are heartbroken...until they see a vision of Abel in paradise with their childhood pets, Lion and Lamb, and Eve finds the strength to wait upon the Lord for His blessing.

Jacob seems to be anything but a model disciple. He's a trickster, liar, and selfishly ambitious man who fathers children with four women and leads a dysfunctional family rife with jealousy and backstabbing. But Jacob is also Israel, the namesake of the Old Testament community of God, chosen and blessed. As such, this sinner-saint, who limps along with the Lord, burdened by weakness and beset by problems, is the mirror image of all of us who follow Jesus.

Scotland's beloved storyteller, George MacDonald, 19th-century Scottish novelist and poet, was reintroduced to 20th century Christians by C. S. Lewis, whose reading of MacDonald's Phantastes triggered his own spiritual awakening and conversion. Other renowned writers have voiced similar acknowledgements. G. K. Chesterton said of MacDonald, "If we test the matter of originality of attitude, George MacDonald was one of the three or four greatest men of the 19th century."

Warum fasziniert uns die Geschichte von Adam und Eva noch heute? Unsere Vorstellungen vom Paradies, von Scham und Sünde, unsere Ideen von Gut und Böse und unser Frauenbild – wie sehr wurden sie von dieser Urerzählung geprägt? Bestsellerautor und Pulitzer-Preisträger Stephen Greenblatt widmet sich diesem mächtigsten aller Menschheitsmythen. In vielen Geschichten schildert er nicht nur das Erbe von Adam und Eva in der christlichen Kultur seit Augustinus und Dürer.

Un Cristo sin rostro es la continuación directa de Dictador Yahvé y El viaje del hombre eterno, una trilogía que no busca imponer creencias, sino despertar preguntas. En esta nueva entrega, el lector se adentra aún más en el camino del Hombre Eterno, un testigo silencioso que camina junto a Jesús, observa, duda, ama y cuestiona. Aquí, Cristo no es presentado como una figura idealizada ni dogmática, sino como un ser profundamente humano, cuya esencia trasciende los templos, los nombres y los rostros impuestos por la historia.

The story of Rachel is one of the most poignant and enduring narratives in the ancient world, standing as a centerpiece of the book of Genesis and a cornerstone of the Biblical foundation. She is often remembered primarily for her beauty or her role in a dramatic love triangle, yet a closer examination of her life reveals a woman of profound complexity, strategic brilliance, and immense spiritual weight.

Theo: The Triumphant Little Donkey is a story about the donkey and colt used by Jesus to ride into the city of Jerusalem during what is known in the Bible as the "triumphal entrance" of Christ. The placement and selection of these two animals by the Savior in the gate of the city, as well as the directive by Jesus to His disciples to go and release them for His need, is a display of God's sovereign work among His creation and His creatures.

The story of the Apostle Peter is perhaps the most enduring portrait of the human condition ever recorded in the annals of faith. He is a man defined not by the static perfection often attributed to saints in stained glass, but by a volatile, breathing, and often messy transformation. To journey through the life of Peter is to witness the slow, deliberate chiseling of a rough stone into a foundational masterpiece.

Os quatro Evangelhos estão repletos de histórias em que a participação de mulheres se destaca. Tal pergunta tem seu significado ampliado quando levamos em conta a diversidade de mulheres que se aproximaram de Jesus ao longo de seu curto ministério. Pobres, ricas, enfermas, enlutadas, jovens, idosas, gentias, judias, virgens, viúvas, prostitutas, profetisas, elas se achegaram a Jesus em busca de cura, perdão e respostas, e essas motivações repercutem ainda hoje em nosso coração, inspirando-nos e fortalecendo-nos.

The story of Sarah is often relegated to the background of her husband’s epic journey, yet she stands as the indispensable co-architect of a movement that redefined the relationship between humanity and the divine. To encounter Sarah is to step into a world of startling contrasts, where the refined luxury of the Mesopotamian elite meets the grit and dust of a nomadic existence. She was a woman who lived at the intersection of ancient history and eternal promise, navigating a century of life that was as much a political drama as it was a spiritual pilgrimage.

The story of Jezebel is not merely a tale of a wicked queen, but a window into a titanic struggle between two irreconcilable worldviews that shaped the ancient Near East. To approach her history is to step into a volatile landscape of ninth century BCE politics, where the borders of faith and state were blurred by incense and blood. She was a woman born of the sea, a Phoenician princess of Tyre and Sidon, who was thrust into the rugged, mountainous heart of Israel to cement a military alliance. Yet, she was never content to be a silent partner in the Omride dynasty.

The history of the ancient Near East is often presented as a dry succession of empires, a ledger of taxes, territories, and kings. Yet, beneath the political maneuvers of the Bronze and Iron Ages lay a much more volatile landscape: the spiritual frontier. In this world, the boundaries between the terrestrial and the divine were porous, and the success of a nation was seen as a direct reflection of the potency of its patron deity. Among the many gods who vied for supremacy in the fertile crescent, few possess a history as long, as geographically diverse, or as narratively dramatic as Dagon.

The story of Eve is perhaps the most scrutinized narrative in the history of human literature, yet she remains a figure shrouded in layers of traditional interpretation that often obscure the vibrant, complex woman described in the ancient Hebrew texts. For millennia, her name has been synonymous with the concept of the Fall, her legacy tied inextricably to the arrival of sin and the loss of paradise.

What happened during the decades the Gospels never mention? Between the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem and his emergence at the Jordan River lies a vast silence. No record of his childhood. No explanation of how a carpenter's son became the most influential figure in human history. The Missing Years fills that silence—a year-by-year account of the formative life no one recorded. Here is the boy who lost his father at fourteen and became head of a large family. The young man who turned down a fortune and a marriage proposal to stay true to his mission.

The history of the Roman Empire is often told through the clashing of swords, the expansion of borders, and the ego of emperors, yet some of its most profound transformations occurred in the quiet, intellectual spaces of a governor’s court. To understand the transition of the Mediterranean world from a tapestry of pagan cults to a landscape dominated by the Christian faith, one must look closely at the figure of Sergius Paulus.

Ein Mann ringt mit Gott – und mit sich selbst. In Ein Handel mit Gott erzählt Matthias Joos von einer persönlichen, spirituellen Reise, die nicht auf Wegen dogmatischer Gewissheit geht, sondern sich zwischen Zweifel, Stille und Gewahrsein entfaltet. Inspiriert vom biblischen Bild Jakobs, der mit Gott ringt und verletzt zurückbleibt, öffnet sich ein poetischer Raum für Fragen, Zweifel, Staunen und stille Gewissheit. Dieses Buch ist kein theologisches Traktat, sondern eine existenzielle Spurensuche.

Chester and Mary Travis were Christian & Missionary Alliance missionaries to French Indo-China (today known as Viet Nam) between 1925-1975. They experienced an abundant measure of Christ’s indwelling and overflowing life. One of the aims of this book is to share the unusual experiences and their unshakable faith in their Lord and Saviour.

To understand the history of Jesus of Nazareth, one must first navigate the thick forests of tradition, theology, and art that have grown around his name for two millennia. For some, he is the iconic figure of the stained-glass window, a serene and distant deity. For others, he is a radical social reformer, a peasant philosopher, or a failed revolutionary. However, to find the man himself, we must travel back to the dusty, high-stakes world of the first-century Near East.

Béni soit son Nom est une adaptation en prose d’un scénario inspiré écrit par Barbara Oleynick en 2000. L’ouvrage s’appuie sur les écrits spirituels de la mystique du XVIIᵉ siècle, la Vénérable Sœur Marie de Jésus d’Ágreda, et propose une méditation profonde sur la vie, la mission divine et l’humanité de la Vierge Marie. À travers un récit contemplatif et accessible, le lecteur est invité à découvrir Marie non seulement comme Reine du Ciel, mais aussi comme fille, épouse et mère — choisie par Dieu pour porter le salut au monde.
