New Releases by David Platt

Muitos cristãos desejam ler a Bíblia com constância, mas acabam enfrentando os mesmos obstáculos: falta de prioridade, dificuldade de compreensão, frustração com textos complexos ou a sensação de que a leitura não produz transformação real. O resultado é um relacionamento superficial com a Palavra — e, muitas vezes, culpa por não conseguir ir além. Em Como ler a Bíblia, David Platt oferece um guia prático, acessível e profundamente bíblico para mudar essa realidade. Mais do que incentivar a leitura das Escrituras, ele ensina como abordá-las de forma séria, reverente e transformadora. O autor apresenta o método MAPS — Meditar e Memorizar, Aplicar, Orar e Compartilhar — como um caminho simples e eficaz para que cada leitura se torne um encontro real com Deus. Com orientações claras sobre o que evitar — como interpretações centradas apenas em si mesmo ou a busca por "descobertas inéditas" — e sobre o que cultivar — disciplina, profundidade e obediência —, este livro conduz o leitor a uma experiência mais rica e consistente com a Palavra. Como ler a Bíblia não é apenas um convite à leitura bíblica; é um chamado à transformação de vida. Ao aprender a ouvir a voz de Deus nas Escrituras, você descobrirá que a Bíblia não foi dada apenas para ser entendida, mas para ser vivida — e que, ao mergulhar nela com intenção e humildade, seu amor por Deus crescerá de maneira profunda e duradoura.

The construct of self-efficacy has been used extensively to analyze and predict what motivates human behavior, to include leadership behaviors. The connection between self-efficacy and leader effectiveness may be critical finding new ways of selecting and developing leadership in organizations. The efficacy of individuals at the general and specific level was studied with data collected form officer training school graduates and their post-training supervisors. With this data a new leadership self-efficacy (LSE) framework was created and validated, and this framework was used to compare the predictability of the previously validated general self-efficacy (GSE) measure to distal performance measures. GSE was found to be a poor predictor of future behaviors while an individual''s self-efficacy for interpersonal skills was found to be a significant contributing factor to future leadership behaviors.

El autor de Radical, un éxito de ventas del New York Times, desafía a los cristianos a liberarse del evangelio actual que prostituye a Jesús por comodidad, poder, prosperidad y política, y a buscar por completo el verdadero evangelio que exalta a Jesús por encima de todo. El pastor David Platt cree que nos hemos vuelto muy buenos siguiendo un evangelio realmente malo, uno que adora las ideas estadounidenses sobre la verdad bíblica. Es hora de que los cristianos desilusionados, desalentados y divididos, y la próxima generación, sigan a Jesús hacia un futuro diferente. Tenemos que elegir: un evangelio estadounidense o el evangelio bíblico. División mundana o unidad de otro mundo. Compromiso con los ídolos de nuestro país o compromiso con el llamado de Dios en nuestras vidas. En No te detengas, Platt alienta a los seguidores de Jesús a tomar los riesgos necesarios y encontrar una recompensa inimaginable mientras: Trabajamos a favor, no en contra, unos de otros, especialmente cuando no estamos de acuerdo. Cambiamos el rumbo de siglos de división racial en la Iglesia Confiamos en toda la Palabra de Dios con convicción mientras amamos con compasión a todos los que nos rodean Hacemos justicia con bondad y experimentamos la buena vida según Dios Hacemos nuestra parte en la difusión del evangelio a todas las naciones del mundo Podemos experimentar la maravilla completa de Jesús y la belleza trascendente de su Iglesia aquí y ahora. Pero para hacerlo, algunas cosas deben ser diferentes. Empecemos no con “esa gente”, sino con cada uno de nosotros. Con el evangelio en nuestros corazones y Dios como nuestro premio, sigamos adelante y no nos detengamos. u200b u200b The New York Times bestselling author of Radical challenges Christians to break free from an American gospel that prostitutes Jesus for comfort, power, prosperity, and politics—and fully pursue the true gospel that exalts Jesus above all. Pastor David Platt believes we’ve gotten really good at following a really bad gospel—one that worships American ideas over biblical truth. It’s time for disillusioned, discouraged, and divided Christians, and the next generation, to follow Jesus into a different future. But we have to make a choice: an American gospel or the biblical gospel, worldly division or otherworldly unity, compromise with the idols of our country or commitment to God’s call in our lives. In Don’t Hold Back, Platt encourages followers of Jesus to take necessary risks and find unimaginable reward as we: Work for, not against, each other, especially when we disagree Turn the tide on centuries of racial division in the church Trust all of God’s Word with conviction while loving everyone around us with compassion Do justice with kindness and experience the good life according to God Play our part in spreading the gospel to all the nations of the world We can experience the full wonder of Jesus and the transcendent beauty of His church here and now. But in order to do so, some things need to be different. Starting not in “those people,” but in each one of us. With the gospel in our hearts and God as our prize, let’s press on and don’t hold back.

David Platt, autor bestseller del New York Times, embarca al lector en un viaje desgarrador, espiritual e introspectivo por los barrios empobrecidos de las montañas del Himalaya. Con una gran pasión y sorprendente vulnerabilidad, Platt desafía a los lectores a marcar la diferencia en un mundo lleno de necesidades urgentes, comenzando en sus propias ciudades. Mientras dirigía un grupo en una larga caminata por las montañas del Himalaya, el autor bestseller y pastor David Platt, se sorprendió de las necesidades humanas que iba descubriendo en el camino, fue una experiencia tan dramática que "cambió la trayectoria de mi vida", comenta el autor en el libro. Al encontrarse con un hombre que había perdido un ojo por una simple infección, al ver la trata de niños en las ciudades y muchos otros sucesos inolvidables, vio cara a cara a las personas detrás de los números estadísticos y lo obligó a luchar con lo que él pensaba que era la fe. En Algo tiene que cambiar / Something Needs to Change, Platt invita a los lectores a participar tanto en la caminata como en la travesía de buscar respuestas a preguntas difíciles como, "¿Dónde está Dios cuando hay sufrimiento?" "¿Qué hace que mi religión sea mejor que la de otra persona?" y "¿Qué pienso acerca del sufrimiento eterno?" Platt ha creado un mensaje indeleble sobre lo que significa dar tu vida por el Evangelio: dejar de hablar sobre la fe y empezar a vivirla verdaderamente".

USA TODAY, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, AND ECPA BESTSELLER • The author of Radical takes readers on a soul-searching journey through impoverished villages in the Himalayan mountains, daring them to make a difference in a world of urgent need, starting right where they live. “Grippingly vulnerable and unforgettable. I could not put this book down.”—Ann Voskamp, author of One Thousand Gifts While leading a team on a week-long trek of the Himalayas, bestselling author and pastor David Platt was stunned by the human needs he encountered, an experience so dramatic that it "changed the trajectory of my life." Meeting a man who''d lost his eye from a simple infection and seeing the faces of girls stolen from their families and trafficked in the cities, along with other unforgettable encounters, opened his eyes to the people behind the statistics and compelled him to wrestle with his assumptions about faith. In Something Needs to Change, Platt invites readers to come along on both the adventure of the trek, as well as the adventure of seeking answers to tough questions like, "Where is God in the middle of suffering?" "What makes my religion any better than someone else''s religion?" and "What do I believe about eternal suffering?" Platt has crafted an irresistible message about what it means to give your life for the gospel--to finally stop talking about faith and truly start living it. Praise for Something Needs to Change “Rugged. Authentic. Gritty. Real. Worshipful. There are no other books like this one. I always pick up David’s books with a sense of excitement and, quite honestly, apprehension—because I know that areas of compromise and complacency in my life are going to be exposed. But this book exceeded even my high expectations, for which I am grateful. And so will you be. As David writes, it’s time to run, not walk. Let’s go.”—J. D. Greear, president of the Southern Baptist Convention “Extraordinary and challenging. I’ve just never read a book like this before. I am so moved. Bring your full heart to this story and watch how God opens your eyes, changes your mind, and broadens the dreams you have for your life.”—Annie F. Downs, best-selling author of 100 Days to Brave and Remember God “If you dare to read this book, you might just have an unexpected encounter with Jesus that leaves you weeping on the floor, as David’s experience did. Something changes within us when the seemingly overwhelming needs of the world present themselves simply in the life of a single person. Ultimately, I pray your compassion will be transformed to action.”—Santiago “Jimmy” Mellado, president and CEO of Compassion International

The Kingdom of Christ is made up of many di erent types of people, in many different arenas of life, and in many different life-stages. As Christians, we are called to make disciples. If you are married with children or single without children, your calling is still the same-to glorify God and enjoy him forever. How can the church continue to champion singles, and how should we view singleness in the life of the church?

Course materials for Resilient Futures Strategy in Action

Zeal without knowledge hurts missions; it can even lead to damnation (see Rom. 10:1-3). Yet too often churches assume the sincerity of their efforts makes up for any deficiencies in their methods. The sense of urgency especially leads toward hasty, unhealthy, and foolish missions work.What''s needed are healthy churches, and a vision for the crucial role of churches in doing the work of missions. In this 9Marks Journal, we start by addressing some of the problems in missions today, particularly with regard to the role of churches.Then we ask the question, what exactly should churches do to engage wisely in missions? We try to answer that question in the second half.So many topics we could have addressed in the Journal, but hopefully it offers a useful starting point to the conversation for pastors. Start, perhaps, with Aubrey Sequeira. It offers a useful picture of what can go wrong. Mack Stiles then offers the counterpoint: what does healthy church engagement look like.And pray that God would use this Journal to help churches more faithfully fulfill the Great Commission, particularly to the ends of the earth.

Una llamada compasiva a la contracultura en un mundo de pobreza, matrimonios del mismo sexo, racismo, esclavitud sexual, inmigración, persecución, aborto, huérfanos, pornografía. Bienvenido al frente de batalla. A todo lugar al que nos dirigimos hoy en día, los frentes de batalla están puestos: el matrimonio tradicional contra el matrimonio homosexual, la pro-vida contra pro-elección, la libertad personal contra la protección gubernamental. De repente la cultura cambió al punto donde ya no se mide lo que está bien y lo que está mal con la verdad universal sino con la opinión popular. Las conversaciones difíciles sobre la homosexualidad, el aborto, y la libertad religiosa siguen infiltrándosen en nuestros trabajos, iglesias, escuelas y en nuestros hogares. Mientras tanto los cristianos en todas partes se hacen la misma pregunta: ¿Cómo se supone que tenemos que responder a todo esto? En Contracultura, el autor de éxito del New York Times, David Platt, muestra como los cristianos deben participar activamente en cuestiones como la pobreza, la explotación sexual, el matrimonio, el aborto, el racismo y la libertad religiosa y desafía a todos a ser voces apasionadas y constantes para Cristo. El frente de batalla ya está puesto y ha llegado la hora en que los cristianos se levanten para entregar un mensaje del evangelio que es más radical incluso, que los temas más polémicos de la actualidad. A compassionate call to counter culture in a world of poverty, same-sex marriage, racism, sex slavery, immigration, abortion, persecution, orphans, and pornography. Welcome to the front lines. Everywhere we turn, battle lines are being drawn--traditional marriage vs. gay marriage, pro-life vs. pro-choice, personal freedom vs. governmental protection. Seemingly overnight, culture has shifted to the point where right and wrong are no longer measured by universal truth but by popular opinion. And as difficult conversations about homosexuality, abortion, and religious liberty continue to inject themselves into our workplaces, our churches, our schools, and our homes, Christians everywhere are asking the same question: How are we supposed to respond to all this? In Counter Culture, New York Times bestselling author David Platt shows Christians how to actively take a stand on such issues as poverty, sex trafficking, marriage, abortion, racism, and religious liberty and challenges all to become passionate, unwavering voices for Christ. The lines have been drawn. The moment has come for Christians to rise up and deliver a gospel message that''s more radical than even the most controversial issues of our day.
