My Beautiful Idol

Sinopsis del Libro

The author of My Beautiful Idol is on a quest to be successful—in a lucrative job at an advertising agency, in ministry work, even in his relationships. And in a futile attempt to control the sources of love and security, he has turned these things into idols he can keep in his soul's back pocket. He pulls the idols out when he feels vulnerable and defenseless, and hides them again when things are going well. But the idols keep failing—even when he turns to his own Christian faith. In a creative narrative style rooted in raw honesty, My Beautiful Idol invites readers to identify with the young would-be Christian hero as he seeks God, and as he hides from God. Far from reducing complex matters to simplistic formulas, Pete Gall weaves together stories both sublime and wretched, ego-building and humbling, humorous and painful, and successfully celebrates the messiness of faith, the importance of validating truth, and the unscripted nature of experiencing a God who is intimately involved in all of life.

Pluralismo y religión en Chihuahua

El presente libro es un esfuerzo colectivo para entender la importancia del conflicto derivado del pluralismo religioso en el estado de Chihuahua. Contrario a lo que se podría pensar, la presencia actual de una gran diversidad de iglesias no es el reflejo de la tolerancia y la aceptación de distintas formas de concebir lo sagrado. La evidencia, tanto histórica como etnográfica, demuestra que el conflicto y la violencia han sido parte indiscutible del reacomodo constante de las iglesias desde finales del siglo XIX hasta el presente. En diversas regiones del norte de México ha predominado...

Fijos los ojos en Jesús

The book proposes a prayer path that is travelled with the eyes fixed on Jesus (an expression from the letter to the Hebrews). As a starting point to live this Jesus experience in silence, the author invites all those who have made an option of life for Jesus in different ways, to welcome the expressive force of water, “useful, pure and humble”, to which so many times Jesus appealed as a brand of his preaching. With a simple and colloquial language it offers guides for a close and loving prayer which impels towards a concrete commitment because contemplative silence is only true when it...

Apocalipsis Revelado

Oración Secreta

"Señor, enséñanos a orar". Lucas 11:1 "El que ha aprendido a orar como debe, ha aprendido el secreto de una vida santa". Wilson "Cuando reces, entra en tu habitación, cierra la puerta y reza a tu Padre, que no se ve. Entonces tu Padre, que ve lo que se hace en secreto, te recompensará". Mateo 6:6 La oración es... la aplicación de la necesidad a Aquel que es el único que puede aliviarla, la confesión del pecado a Aquel que es el único que puede perdonarlo, la urgencia de la pobreza, la postración de la humildad, el fervor de la penitencia, la seguridad de la confianza. La oración...
