Best Selling Books by DANIEL GILBERT

Miért bocsátjuk meg hamarabb társunknak a hűtlenséget, mint azt, hogy megint nem mosogatott el? Miért rendelünk mást az étteremben, mint vacsorapartnerünk, még akkor is, ha valójában ugyanazt szeretnénk enni? Miért érezzük úgy, hogy az a sor, amelyikbe épp beálltunk, azonnal lelassul? Mindenki a boldogságot keresi, de – tudományos szempontból legalábbis – rossz módszert választunk: megpróbáljuk megbecsülni, jövőbeli önmagunkat vajon mi teszi majd boldoggá, és afelé igyekszünk haladni. Ezt a becslést azonban rengeteg rejtett gondolkodási illúzió torzítja, ezért így nagyjából ugyanannyi esélyünk van megtalálni a boldogságot, mint ha csak úgy véletlenül rábukkannánk. Daniel Gilbert, a Harvard pszichológiaprofesszorának fantasztikus humorral és könnyedséggel megírt könyvéből megtudhatjuk, hogyan működik az emberi agy, a képzelet és az emlékezet, és hogy miért nem tudjuk úgy elképzelni a jövőt, s így a boldogságunkat, amilyen az valóban lesz vagy lehetne. Választ kapunk arra is, kiküszöbölhetjük-e ezeket a torzításokat, hogy jövőbeli önmagunk elégedettebb lehessen.

Mark, who likes to play basketball, is unhappy when the taller boys will not let him in their game, no matter what he tries, until the school custodian, a tall man, gives him some encouraging advice, in a story by two high school juniors.

Imagine being part of a wholly transformed body of Christ that truly reflects the character of God to the world! What if God''s people weren''t tossed to and fro with every wind of the devil''s deceit and every wave of secular culture, but instead stood firm on the foundation of sound, biblical doctrine? This can only happen if Christians understand and construct their spiritual lives on The Big 5 foundational doctrines of the faith. Dr. Daniel Gilbert is an international speaker, theologian, ministry consultant, and writer. Passionate about the transforming power of God to help people enter into a deeper relationship with their Creator, Dr. Gilbert wrote The Big 5 so that every Christian can discover-or re-discover-the enduring biblical doctrines and foundational principles on which believers of all backgrounds can base their lives. In this book, you''ll learn about five core beliefs: -Sola scriptura: how Scripture is the entirely trustworthy Word of God, which provides us with essential knowledge of God''s character and how He designed us to live -Solus Christus: how Jesus Christ is our Lord, not a liar or a lunatic, and the only real path to life -Sola gratia: how grace, the single escape route from spiritual death, is God''s gift to all -Sola fide: how committing our lives to Christ through faith leads us to do good works, but it''s faith not works that leads to salvation -Soli deo gloria: how bringing glory to God in all things is our ultimate purpose and gives meaning to our daily lives -PLUS bonus workbook sections are included to help you reflect on each of these Big 5 of our faith! Free yourself from human-inspired ideas and habits that sound or feel good, and instead let the foundational truths of Christ''s teaching transform you. Pick up your copy of The Big 5 today and become part of the new reformation the church needs now more than ever!

An compilation of three books of poetry based of poetic books of the bible-Song of Songs is perhaps one of the most unique books in the bible but is often misunderstood and misplaced by the modern reader. This interpretation is an attempt at re-framing the song in it''s context as one the greatest love poems in history, translated as a poem rather than scripture and with the historical context in mind.Song of Songs is perhaps one of the most unique books in the bible but is often misunderstood and misplaced by the modern reader.

In many ways the writer, Koheleth, is just like us, wrestling with life and striving to find the meaning in it. For this reason Ecclesiastes has always been one of my favourite books of the bible and I know that others feel the same. Over the years I have returned to it again and again and constantly found it comforting, reassuring, challenging and relevant.These poetic interpretations of Ecclesiastes are my way of engaging with the text, that I might know more of God and of the world God created.
