Best Selling Books by David Platt

David Platt believes that it may be religiously important to see God's existence as contingent. That there might have been nothing whatsoever, even though we find this conceptually impossible, points up God's contingency. The book discusses how the demands of religious adequacy may be met without recourse to divine necessity. The free gift of experience is rich with religious significance in a world without why. This probing and gentle book maintains that realization of the fragility of existence should also change our domineering attitudes towards the environment.

Steam Trains and Jigsaw Puzzles strikes most people as an intriguing title. The origin is simple,however my trainspotting youth has been synchronized with a later interest in jigsaw puzzles. The result is expensive I have a collection of over 250 jigsaws depicting British steam railways. The conclusion is impossible there are over 500 steam railway jigsaw puzzles to collect and they are being supplemented annually. The Liverpool & Manchester Railway marked the arrival of the true passenger railway service in 1830 and presented jigsaw manufacturers with another subject on which to focus. Prior to this date the jigsaw experience, started by John Spilsbury in c1760, was restricted to subjects such as religion, geography, history, monarchs, the alphabet and art. Many characteristics combine to form the basis of nostalgic images buried indelibly in the minds of people who travelled in the steam railway age. Manufacturers have not been slow to tap into this nostalgia and produce jigsaws aimed at stirring those memories and inviting people to reflect on past experiences, good, bad or indifferent. Chad Valley, Victory, Good Companion,Falcon, Waddingtons and Arrow are just a few manufacturers who produced steam railway jigsaws in the past. Most of these companies are now a distant memory while others are in foreign ownership. Equally famous names such as Wentworth, Ravensburger (Germany), House of Puzzles, Gibsons, JR Puzzles and King Puzzles (Holland) continue the manufacturing tradition. Output is generally superb thanks to the efforts of fine railway artists such as Terence Cuneo, George Heiron, T. E. North, Don Breckon, John Austin, Barry Freeman and Malcolm Root. The book is aimed at anyone with an interest in jigsaw puzzles and at those enthusiasts and aficionados who refuse to allow those evocative memories of the Golden Age of Steam to die.

It is becoming more obvious in recent years that carbohydrates present a new dimension in drug design for targeting specific diseases. Carbohydrates birthed a whole new vocabulary into chemistry, biochemistry and related disciplines -- a new language in the form of distinct characters and images providing professional chemists not in the area of carbohydrates to become familiar and knowledgeable on the topic. Carbohydrate Drug Design provides the indispensable understanding of the mutual challenge between carbohydrate-based drugs and the deadly diseases which they target. Carbohydrate Drug Design discusses pre-clinical studies and clinical trials of carbohydrate-based drugs, drug delivery and pain managements, biocompatibility, clearance and metabolic pathways of carbohydrate drugs, and actual medical devices employing carbohydrates. The invasion of cancer cells, protein-glycan interactions and their inhibitors, new carbohydrate-based therapeutics, crystal structure of antibodies with unusually high affinity for carbohydrates, and a number of other features of carbohydrate drugs are also comprehensively covered. Galactomannans and hyaluronans, as well as thio-, imino- and carba-sugars are particularly considered in respect to their structural and functional impacts.

Um convite imediato. Uma decisão eterna. É fácil encontrar gente que se diz cristã. É igualmente fácil encontrar quem frequente alguma igreja. Mas até que ponto vai, de fato, o compromisso com Deus? Quem está disposto a enfrentar o desafio do Evangelho e levar uma vida semelhante à de Jesus? Afinal, aceitar o convite do Mestre — "Siga-me!" — não significa apenas a certeza de salvação; implica também a missão de carregar a própria cruz. Em Siga-me, David Platt (uma das mais destacadas lideranças cristãs da nova geração nos Estados Unidos) defende que a magnitude do chamado de Jesus só é ignorada por quem alimenta uma religiosidade superficial. É preciso abandonar o próprio ser para viver em Cristo e para Cristo. Este livro é um convite à jornada rumo à vida eterna daqueles que, por conhecê-lo verdadeiramente, vivem como discípulos e dedicam-se a proclamar o Reino.

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".

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.
