Fred Ritzhaupt

A New Testament transfer that surprises the mind and the Hore touched.

With this New Testament translation, Fred Ritzhaupt brings you closer to the God whom Jesus introduced as "Abba, Father." God's invitation to enter into a personal relationship with Him is emphasized in the text.

This transmission combines the fresh liveliness of today's vernacular with the fidelity to the Greek Urtext. The renunciation of narration, the explanatory transitions and the beautiful sentence make reading a pure pleasure.

Anyone who discovers this father relationship with God has arrived, at last "at home". Our wish and prayer is that this transfer is a companion on the way home.

rob bell the last word has love

The last word is love

 

Rob Bell

 

Rob Bell grapples with the age-old question of heaven and hell, judgment, and grace, and creates a courageous, in the best sense, offensive image of a God in whom love has the last word.

Countless Christians of all times have struggled with the question of how faith can on the one hand say: God is love and on the other hand emphasizes the possibility that millions of people will be eternally separated from God. Rob Bell traces in this book the questions that arise from this tension. How can God take seriously the freedom of the person who requires love and at the same time achieve his own goal of winning all people for his love? And how can the biblical terms salvation, damnation, repentance, heaven and hell be understood? This book presents unusual perspectives that lead to the discovery: The good news is even better than we thought before.

wayne Jacobson dave coleman the cry of the wildgaense

The scream of wild geese

 

Wayne Jacobsen, Dave Coleman

 

Christ set us free to be free! So stand firm and don't let the yoke of bondage be put on you again! (Galatians 5,1). How can we live today, individually and in community, in a very practical way in this freedom to which Christ has set us free? How can we expose religious constraints that keep trying to rob us of this freedom? The authors have not written a non-fiction book on these questions, but rather take us into the exciting story of Jake Colsen. Jake, at the beginning still co-pastor of a free church, was content with his Christianity and parish life until things happen in his life that ask him some questions, and until yes, until he meets this unclassifiable stranger This stranger talks about Jesus as if he had known him personally. His way of life shakes Jake's previous beliefs to the core. Is he John, the disciple whom Jesus said might live until he comes? The cry of the wild geese describes in thirteen encounters what Jake experiences with this strange stranger. With its help, he succeeds in facing his greatest fears, mastering extremely difficult circumstances and finally experiencing a joy and a freedom that he could only dream of until now.

mick mooney god's grammar

God's grammar

 

Mick Mooney

 

Roman

Sam Walker has a strange dream: God offers him to teach him grammar. The unemployed product designer dismisses this as a bizarre fantasy. But then suddenly God actually sits at Sam's kitchen table and wants to keep his promise.

The divine grammar lessons become a startling, life-changing journey of discovery for Sam - full of inner struggles. Above all there are arguments with the general, the commander of the emotional bulwark that Sam has built in his soul for his own protection. Because the more Sam understands how God really is, the more he realizes that God's love is unconditional and limitless, the more his inner defenses collapse. By the grace of God, Sam finds a whole new expanse within himself. God's grammar is as humorous as it is moving - of pain and fracture, but much more of love, redemption and freedom.

In this world-famous book, the author shows how Christians can existentially experience the power of resurrection.

Hans Joachim Eckstein

 

When we grow up, our personal development also affects our understanding of faith and our image of God. Is there some form of belief that proves appropriate and genuine in this new phase of life?

In 43 short articles, Hans-Joachim Eckstein deals with key issues of the Christian faith and illuminates them from surprising perspectives and in depth theologically.

jc ryle be holy

Be holy!

 

JC Ryle

 

The key to a full life
Already during his lifetime (1816-1900) the author JC Ryle came to the deep conviction that practical holiness and complete self-giving to God are no longer sufficiently lived by modern Christians. The subject of personal fear of God has sadly faded into the background. The Christian lifestyle is low in many areas and the importance of honoring God's teaching through our daily habits is being forgotten. Healthy Protestant and evangelical teaching is useless if it is not accompanied by a holy life. Despised as an unrealistic and hollow thing by ardent and observant secular people, it discredits the faith. To counteract this trend, a change of direction through a complete revival of biblical holiness is necessary.

And wonders what he's doing on his way to Russia shortly after Christmas. He's looking for adventure, but that's not all: he wants to help people in need!

From the mystery of faith

 

Fritz Binde

 

Before his conversion, Fritz Binde (1867–1921) was a militant atheist and socialist with a pronounced gift for speech, with which he was able to captivate his audience. After his conversion to Jesus Christ, he put his talents in the service of his Lord and became a fearless witness of Jesus, preaching the gospel in tents and halls. He also used his gift as a writer to encourage believers to live their faith uncompromisingly in numerous books and writings. A number of his most valuable essays (eg "The Mystery of the Cross", "The Mystery of Faith", "The Three Basic Conditions of Following Jesus", etc.) are included in this volume.

Loved!

 

Wayne Jacobsen

 

To live a life every day in which we are completely sure that we are unconditionally loved by God - is that really possible, and what does that actually look like? Wayne Jacobsen takes us step by step to understand just how deep God's love for us really is and how this fact translates into our daily life with Him. A key point is that we come to a clear revelation as to why Jesus died on the cross for us. Jesus allowed sin and shame to consume his own body so that we could now enjoy a relationship with his father. As a result, we discover that we are not called to be slaves, but to be sons and daughters. This Father loves us stronger and deeper than anyone else in this world. His loving affection is with us in all circumstances. We experience a living relationship with him that frees us from the torment of shame and transforms us to live as his children.

True Grace - The Teachings of Jesus


Greg Riether


Whether in the Sermon on the Mount, in the Our Father or in Revelation - many of the words of Jesus are the proverbial book with seven seals for Christians. Often they are misunderstood and wrongly taught. This can have dramatic effects on our image of God and our identity as believers.
Greg Riether wants to help us see the teachings of Jesus in the light of the new covenant and understand what the Lord really wanted to say and achieve. His concern was to free people from the old system of the law and to lead them into the new system of the spirit, the new covenant. If we recognize this, we will see familiar Bible passages in a new, bright light and will finally be able to accept them - without any fear. We will understand that in everything Jesus said and done, His love and grace are hidden.

They are often misunderstood and misinterpreted. This can have dramatic effects on our image of God and our identity as believers. Greg Riether would like to help his readers view the parables of Jesus in the light of the new covenant. In a simple and lively way, he brings us closer to the stories that Jesus told in order to free people from the old covenant, the system of works and the flesh, and to acquaint them with a new covenant.

This book goes down like oil - because Ryan Rufus announces in it a clear, salutary message for sore Christian souls. A belief based on misconceptions leads to a spiritual dead end. That is why Ryan Rufus clearly contrasts the sinister path of legalism and self-righteousness with the simple, liberating path of the grace of God. Even seasoned Christians do a good anointing with the refreshing theology of grace.

The cure

 

John Lynch, Bruce McNicol, Bill Thrall

 

We thought we were healed, but most of us unconsciously brought an old, lifeless view into their new lives. This book makes the diagnosis that people are obsessed with coping with their sin problems on their own. This has poisoned the church and veiled the original Good News. We have set a standard that we could not live up to - and so we have convinced ourselves that it is God's standard. Some of us have said goodbye to this farce and become cynical, suspicious and indifferent.

God without religion


Andrew farley

 

Christians often struggle to reconcile grace and commandments. Pressure to perform, a guilty conscience and fear are the result. But that need not be. Andrew Farley shows that keeping laws and commandments is no longer an issue for Christians. Instead, they can find rest in God and live a life of freedom. For Andrew Farley, Christian life used to be one thing above all else: the grueling attempt to please God at all costs - relentless, tough religion. The result was spiritual exhaustion, frustration and also bitter disappointment with the church. In the midst of his questions and doubts, however, he discovered something that changed everything: the reality of God's liberating, unconditional grace.
