How can our faith in God grow - and why doesn't it always? What causes our love for God to so easily grow cold, and at times even fade away?<br/><br/> This book is a practical and accessible guide that helps us understand the Christian life as a daily walk with Jesus. Following Jesus isn't about sitting at life's station, waiting for a train to take us to heaven when we die. The Christian life is a journey - a walk we're invited to take every day. This is the language of the Bible: we are called to walk through life, and life itself is a journey.<br/><br/> In this book, Niclas Ljung - pastor in Malmö, Sweden - explores how we can get off to a good start in our walk with Jesus. At the same time, it offers encouragement and guidance for those of us who want to continue walking with Him, no matter where we find ourselves along the way.<br/><br/> The book was born out of Niclas's own journey with Jesus, during which he has helped people of all ages discover Christ and begin their walk with Him in the best possible way.<br/><br/> Faith in God is not merely about accepting a set of truths or values; it's about knowing the one true, living God. Salvation is not simply a line we cross, but a road we walk - following Jesus through the ups and downs of life.<br/><br/> Written in clear and engaging language, this book is suitable for both young readers and those who may find it difficult to sit down with a book. It was originally created for use in a local church, with short daily readings designed to complement Sunday sermons. It's also ideal for small groups, encouraging deeper faith and challenging us to follow Jesus in every area of life.<br/><br/> Rich in Scripture references and direct Bible quotations, the book also has a theological nature - it seeks to describe God and help us better understand who He is.<br/><br/> David Pawson, John Wimber, John Stott, and John Mark Comer are among Niclas Ljung's key influences - and their legacy is clearly reflected throughout the book.

The Dialogues Of Socrates [Bok / Inbunden]

Every day we&apos;re bombarded with methods, mantras and life-hacks that promise us mindfulness, prosperity and wellness. We read countless self-help books to unlock the seven habits, twelve rules or one big secret to living a long and happy life, while time and talent remain some of our most squandered resources. The average full-time worker will spend 80,000 hours at their job: are you making the most of them? Do you truly believe in what you do, day in day out? Maybe you want to do something else with your limited time on the planet. Maybe your own happiness isn&apos;t your only life goal, or you don&apos;t want to get to your deathbed with the gnawing feeling you had much more in you. In that case, you&apos;ll need a different kind of book. Internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman shows us that with moral ambition &ndash; the will to make the world a wildly better place &ndash; it is possible to be both idealistic and successful, and to change the world along the way. Looking to the great change-makers of history, he uncovers the qualities that made them so persuasive, influential and effective, and shows how we, too, can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to gross inequality to the next pandemic. With moral ambition, we can do more than be on the right side of history: we can make history itself. This is not a self-help book. It won&apos;t make your life easier &ndash; but it should make it more meaningful. The question is: what will you do with it?

A structural philosophical essay exploring how freedom can emerge recursively within deterministic systems, inspired by thinkers like Harris, Sapolsky and Gödel.

The Swedish Evangelical Mission's (SEM) A-plan was to reach the Oromo People in Ethiopia with the Gospel. By the cooperation of evangelical Christians from Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sweden this was made possible. Early important pioneers were the previously freed slaves Onesimos Nesib and Aster Ganno Salbana. Their translation of the Bible and a hymnbook into the Oromo language made the Oromo people "to feel at home" in the evangelical faith. Emmanuel Gebre Selassie and Emmanuel Abraham were two later important leaders. Their unity in the Christian faith made differences in ethnic background irrelevant. Step by step, strong relations developed between Ethiopian evangelical Christians and the SEM missionaries in Ethiopia. A decisive step was the founding of the Mekane Yesus Church in 1959 with 20 000 members. This church has now grown to become the largest evangelical Lutheran church in the world with approximately 12 million members. In this book you will follow the longstanding relations between Ethiopian evangelical Christians and the SEM missionaries. The relations survived dramatic external factors such as: the Italian occupation, the two larger famines of the 1970s and the 1980s, the Ethiopian revolution, the "Red terror" with persecution of Christians and closed churches. Rev. Dr. Staffan Grenstedt is a retired senior lecturer at the Johannelund School of Theology in Uppsala. He worked in the Mekane Yesus Church and the Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology for ten years.
