New Releases by Francis Chan

Em um mundo onde a fé muitas vezes se torna rotina, O Deus Esquecido surge como um chamado urgente para redescobrir o poder transformador do Espírito Santo. Nesta obra impactante, Francis Chan confronta uma realidade silenciosa: muitos cristãos vivem como se o Espírito Santo fosse apenas um conceito distante — e não uma presença ativa e poderosa. Com uma abordagem direta, profunda e provocadora, o autor conduz o leitor por uma jornada de reflexão e confronto espiritual, abordando temas como: a presença real de Deus dentro de nós o temor e reverência esquecidos a ilusão do controle na vida espiritual a necessidade de rendição total e o impacto de uma vida guiada pelo Espírito Mais do que um livro, esta é uma convocação para sair da superficialidade e viver uma fé autêntica, intensa e transformadora. Uma leitura essencial para quem deseja experimentar Deus além da teoria — e viver uma vida espiritual real.

The author of Crazy Love returns with a passionate reminder of the most important truth we can know: Abiding in the love of God frees us from insecurity and leads us into a lifetime of joyful, worshipful obedience.

In the same way Francis Chan’s book Crazy Love changes the way we see our relationship with God, You and Me Forever by Francis and his wife, Lisa, radically shifts the way we see our relationship with our spouse. Marriage can be great … but how would your marriage flourish if you focused on something even greater? Ideal for couples and singles who want to experience God in a new way, this countercultural book: Equips us to pursue a marriage that radiates God’s glory Motivates us to make courageous decisions based on devotion to Jesus Helps us prepare ourselves and our loved ones for eternity Shows us how living with an eternal lens sharpens our focus on the here and now Unlike marriage books that narrow our attention to the marriage itself, You and Me Forever shows how to prioritize our eternal relationship with our Creator above all things—because only when two people are right with God will they be right with each other.

A Spanish edition of the New York Times bestseller that dares us to experience God''s crazy, relentless, all-powerful love--and then respond with radical, sacrificial love towards others.

La unidad de la iglesia no es algo opcional. Aunque los cristianos valoran la teología y aprecian la santidad, muchos de ellos no quieren nada que ver con la unidad de la Iglesia. Sin embargo, Dios tiene alta estima por las tres cosas. Por tanto, debe haber una manera de terminar con las divisiones que entristecen al Espíritu Santo sin sacrificar la verdad ni abrazar el pecado. En medio de un mundo que se fragmenta en sus conflictos, la Novia de Cristo debe promover el amor hasta que alcancemos la integridad de la unidad que trae avivamiento. Hasta la unidad nos muestra que: • A Dios le aflige la división en la Iglesia, por eso no podemos permanecer indiferentes • La unidad requiere un nivel de humildad que solo posibilita el Espíritu • El poder y el testimonio de la Iglesia dependen de nuestra unidad • La unidad tiene un costo, pero implica una gran bendición Que Dios levante un ejército de personas llenas del Espíritu Santo en todas las denominaciones, deseosas de luchar por la unidad con toda humildad y mansedumbre.

New York Times-bestselling author Francis Chan calls for believers and churches everywhere to align our hearts with God and start taking seriously His commands to unify. It’s clear from Scripture that God desires unity for His Church. If unity is so important to the heart of God, why is the Church one of the most divided groups on earth? Chan argues that the problem is the shallowness of our love for each other—rooted in a shallowness in our understanding of the gospel. Until Unity shows us: God grieves the division in the Church, so we can’t remain indifferent Unity demands a level of humility only possible by the Spirit The power and witness of the Church hinges on our oneness Unity comes at a cost, but it commands a blessing We must come together as a Christ’s Bride. God desires His people to love one another radically and become the Church He has called us to be. For further individual or small-group study, check out Until Unity Study Guide, an eight-session interactive workbook that serves as a companion to Until Unity, along with a free online video series.

Más difícil de lo que se imagina. Mejor que un cuento de hadas. El matrimonio entre pecadores tiene problemas inevitables. Si has estado casado por más de una semana o dos, sabrás que la difícil realidad de la vida puede afectar en este mundo caído. Tal vez, has tenido la etapa del «érase una vez», pero llegado el momento te das cuenta de que el matrimonio, en este mundo, no es todavía un «felices por siempre». Queremos ayudar, creemos que Dios diseñó el matrimonio no como una prueba para superar sino como un puntero y catalizador hacia un gozo mayor. Dios no creó el matrimonio para ser el final de la historia, sino para ser el comienzo, para ayudarte y prepararte para un «felices por siempre» cuando veamos juntos al gran Novio cara a cara. Los treinta devocionales para leer en Felices por siempre, han sido diseñados para formar, desafiar e inspirar la visión del matrimonio para ti y tu esposa(o) o novia(o). Harder than you imagined. Better than a fairy tale. Marriage between sinners has its inevitable messes. If you’ve been married longer than a week or two, you know how the hard realities of life in a fallen age can come crashing in. Perhaps you had a season of “once upon a time,” but soon enough you realized that this marriage, in this world, is not yet your “happily ever after.” We want to help. We believe that God designed marriage not as a trial to be endured, but as a pointer to and catalyst for your greatest joy. God didn’t design marriage to be your storybook ending, but a fresh beginning, to help get you ready for the true “happily ever after” when together we see our great Bridegroom face to face. The thirty devotional readings in Happily Ever After have been assembled to shape, challenge, and inspire you and your spouse’s (or fiancé’s) vision of marriage.

What does God want for His Church? For your church? With the Letters to the Church Study Guide, be challenged and guided to passionately pursue Christ and His magnificent, beautiful vision for His Bride.

Exista posibilitatea ca, dupa moarte, oamenii sa creada in Isus si sa ajunga pana la urma in rai? Cum poate Dumnezeu sa fie plin de dragoste si totusi sa trimita oameni direct in iad? Multi oameni experimenteaza iadul inca de pe pamant, dar daca exista un iad si dincolo de viata aceasta? Iadul nu este un subiect despre care eventual sa iti dai cu parerea sau sa ridici din umeri si sa mergi mai departe. Miza este mult prea mare. Sunt in joc sufletele multor oameni, iar Biblia are multe de spus in privinta aceasta. Adeseori, discutiile despre iad sunt inabusite din cauza ca oamenii nu stiu ce sa creada si mai ales nu vor sa creada. Si totusi, cum se face ca multi dintre cei ce considera ca iadul este un mit, cred cu tarie in cer si nutresc sperante naive ca intr-o zi chiar vor ajunge in cer? Francis Chan si Preston Sprinkle raspund celor mai presante intrebari despre destinul vesnic al omului. Cartea lor nu este despre cine ce crede. Nu este o carte de dezbateri doctrinare sau chestiuni teologice impersonale. Este o carte despre oameni pe care Dumnezeu ii iubeste. Este o carte despre caracterul lui Dumnezeu. Cartea te provoaca sa te adancesti in adevarul Scripturii, nu doar ca sa-l descoperi, ci pentru a avea curajul sa-l traiesti. Citeste-o cu atentie si constientizeaza ca vor fi fiinte care vor ajunge intr‑un loc de pedeapsa teribil. Un loc numit iad. Despre autor Francis Chan este pastor al Bisericii Cornerstone din Simi Valley, California. Este, de asemenea, fondatorul scolii Eternity Bible College si se afla in comisia de directori a organizatiilor Children’s Hunger Fund si World Impact. Francis Chan petrece o mare parte din timpul sau vorbindu-le studentilor din intreaga tara si este dedicat predicarii invataturilor bazate strict pe Biblie. Pasiunea sa este sa vada Biserica manifestand o dragoste mult mai profunda pentru Isus. El locuieste in California impreuna cu sotia sa, Lisa, si cei patru copii ai lor.

Una sabiduría probada, procedente de tres veteranos líderes de la Iglesia«Yo he rogado por ti, que tu fe no falte; y tú, una vez vuelto, confirma a tus hermanos».En Lucas 22, Jesús le advierte a Pedro que muy pronto tendrá que pasar por una prueba; será zarandeado para probar su fe y para que su debilidad quede al descubierto. Pero también le da aliento, diciéndole que en esa época de desilusión y de fracaso, se volverá más dependiente de Dios y les podrá ministrar mejor a los demás. En Zarandeados, el pastor Wayne Cordeiro ofrece este mismo aliento, diciéndoles la verdad con amor a los que luchan con los desafíos del ministerio en la iglesia, ofreciéndoles ejemplos personales de su propio caminar, y preparándolos a enfrentarse a las dificultades y a las angustias que trae consigo el ser líderes de una iglesia y comenzar nuevos ministerios. Con relatos y conceptos adicionales, procedentes de Francis Chan y Larry Osborne, en cada capítulo hay preguntas que hacen pensar al lector y lo desafían a desarrollar un corazón sometido a Dios, enfocado en «ser y llegar a ser», en lugar de centrarse en «hacer y lograr». Este libro no es una especie de manual lleno de modelos y métodos. Zarandeados desafía cuantas cosas usted ha considerado hasta ahora como éxitos y lo exhorta a comprender que no está solo en las situaciones por las que pasa como líder. Cordeiro, Chan y Osborne le ofrecen una sabiduría a largo plazo que lo puede preparar mejor para una vida de ministerio sometida a Dios.

¿Cómo un Dios amoroso puede mandar gente al infierno? ¿Tendrán las personas la oportunidad de creer en Jesús e ir al cielo después de morir? Con un humilde respeto por la Palabra de Dios, Francis Chan y Preston Sprinkle abordan las preguntas más profundas que usted tiene sobre el destino eterno. Ellos se han hecho las mismas preguntas. Al igual que usted, en ocasiones ellos no desean creer en el infierno. Mas a medida que escriben concluyen: "No podemos darnos el lujo de estar equivocados". Este no es un libro sobre quién dijo qué. Es un libro sobre lo que Dios dice. No es un libro sobre asuntos teológicos impersonales. Es un libro sobre el pueblo que Dios ama. No es un libro sobre argumentos, doctrinas y estar en lo correcto. Es un libro sobre el carácter de Dios. ¿Eliminamos el infierno? Le sumergirá en la verdad de la Escritura; junto con los autores, encontrará no sólo la verdad, sino también la valentía para vivirla.

Cum se poate ca Dumnezeul Atotputernic sa aiba copii coplesiti de teama si nesigurana?El ne-a dat Duhul Sau cel Sfant, pentru ca lumea sa ne recunoasca dupa puterea neobisnuita din noi (Fapte 1:8;2 Tim. 1:7). Dar din pacate multe biserici si multi credinciosi sunt recunoscuti mai degraba dupa talentul si capacitatea intelectuala, decat dupa puterea lor supranaturala. Ceea ce este si mai grav e ca nu suntem deloc alarmati de situatie. Ar putea fi din cauza faptului ca am uitat de Cel care ne face sa ne distingem de toate celelalte religii si culte din lume? Se spune adesea ca Duhul Sfant este Cenusareasa Dumnezeirii. Este timpul pentru Biserica preaiubita a lui Isus Cristos sa cunoasca reversul acestei stari de fapt si sa urmareasca viata plina de Duhul – o viata din abundenta pe care Dumnezeu a pregatit-o pentru noi. Pe temeiul solid al Scripturii si cu un har narativ greu de egalat, autorul Francis Chan ne îndreapta privirile spre Duhul Sfant, asa cum Il descrie Biblia, si ne aminteste ca noi am fost creati si mantuiti nu pentru a ne tari viata aici pe pamant, ci pentru a trai plini de Duh. Francis Chan este pastor al Bisericii Cornerstone din Simi Valley, California. Este de asemenea fondatorul scolii Eternity Bible College si membru in consiliul directoral al organizatiilor Children’s Hunger Fund si World Impact. Francis Chan isi dedica o mare parte din timpul sau sustinerii de conferinte cu studenii din intreaga tara si predicarii invataturilor bazate strict pe Biblie. Cartea lui de debut, ”Dragoste nebuna”, disponibila si in limba româna, s-a vandut in peste 300.000 de exemplare in primul an si a fost publicata in mai multe limbi. Francis u001dsi familia lui locuiesc in sudul Californiei.

N''avons-nous pas délaissé la troisième personne de la Trinité, sans nous en rendre compte ? A cette puissance incomparable, aurions-nous substitué des capacités tout humaines ? Un peu comme si Dieu nous avait offert un milliard d''euros, et nous découvrait à l''épicerie du coin, dépensant quelques malheureux centimes pour acheter des bonbons. Les conséquences pourraient être tragiques : tiédeur, assoupissement, soif de spectaculaire. Dans notre vie personnelle, dans l''Eglise. Pourquoi avons-nous été sauvés ? Pour survivre à notre vie terrestre ? Pour nous confier dans nos talents ? Non ! Pour que le monde voie, au travers de nous, s''exprimer et agir une puissance surnaturelle (Actes 1 : 8 ; 2 Tim 1 : 7). Francis Chan nous invite, Bible en main, à redécouvrir l''Esprit de Dieu pour mieux exprimer sa puissance... Comment la Bible décrit-elle le Saint-Esprit ? Quel est son rôle ? Comment m''ouvrir à une relation vivante avec lui ?

Como pode um Deus amoroso mandar pessoas para o inferno? Será que, após a morte elas terão uma chance de reconhecer a Jesus como Senhor e ser salvas? Com especial temor e tremor pela Palavra de Deus, Francis Chan e Preston Sprinkle abordam nossos mais profundos questionamentos sobre a eternidade, trazidos à tona no recente livro de Rob Bell, O amor vence. Seria confortável simplesmente não acreditar, como Rob Bell, no inferno. Mas, como Chan e Sprinkle escrevem: "Não podemos nos dar ao luxo de estar errados quando a questão é o inferno". Na realidade, esse é o tipo de assunto em que o mero achismo não pode ter vez. O que realmente importa é o que a Bíblia diz a respeito. Apagando o inferno aponta para a urgência do amadurecimento da fé, reconhecendo que nem tudo é como gostaríamos que fosse, mas sim como Deus, em sua soberania e sabedoria, decidiu fazer.

Halfway Herbert never finishes anything. He completes half his homework, he cleans half his room, and he eats half his dinner. But when he tells a half-truth, deciding he isn''t exactly "lying," everything falls apart. Full color.

This contemporary parable about spiritual empowerment shares a timeless truth: God has a special purpose for you which can be unlocked through the instruction manual for how you operate which he has left for you. You can fulfill that purpose through the help of His Spirit. A powerful lesson based on Acts 1:8 perfectly told for little hearts.
