New Releases by JOHN ELDREDGE

Man warf ihm alles Mögliche vor - Gesetzesbruch, Umgang mit schlechter Gesellschaft, Trinkgelage. Manche hielten ihn sogar für das personifizierte Böse. Er war eine Bedrohung. Sie mussten ihn einfach aus dem Weg schaffen. Doch diejenigen, die ihn am besten kannten, liebten ihn innig. Er hatte einen feinen Humor. Seine Großzügigkeit war kaum zu fassen. Er sprach von den ungeheuerlichsten Dingen. Und wenn er zornig wurde, zitterten seine Widersacher. Jesus hat sich kein bisschen verändert. Mit offenen Armen nimmt er jeden an, der ihn sucht. Lernen Sie ihn besser kennen - den ungezähmten Messias.

What a relief it would be to be set free from all that plagues us -- the inner struggle with anger, or contempt, the habitual sins. Is such an experience possible? John Eldredge believes it is, and in THE UTTER RELIEF OF HOLINESS, he shows readers how they can be that free, through the healing work of Christ in their lives. It begins when we discover what the salvation of Jesus Christ means for our own restoration and find that holiness is an expression of the healing of our humanity. Here is a book that explores the beauty of the genuine goodness available to us in Jesus Christ, and guides the reader through the process whereby God makes us whole and holy by his love. Readers will be relieved. Utterly.

Elke man het ‘n behoefte om geken te word – en homself te ken – as ‘n ware man. Om by hierdie punt te kom, is daar ‘n oer-oue pad wat elke man (en seun) moet loop, ‘n inisiasie wat hy moet voltooi om die twee vrae te beantwoord wat in sy hart brand: Wat verg dit om ‘n ware man te wees? En: Is ek ‘n ware man? Ons leef in ‘n era waar baie mans (en seuns) vaderloos voortsukkel. Daar is nie genoeg ervare mans wat hulle kan help om deur die lewe se avonture, swaarkry en hoogtepunte as mans gevorm te word nie. Dus strompel hulle op hul eie voort, geteister deur knaende onsekerheid wat lei tot vrees, woede, verveling en baie vorme van verslawing. Maar daar is ‘n alternatief. ‘Ons is nie veronderstel om die lewe op ons eie te prober uitpluis nie’, se John Eldredge. ‘God wil ons Pa wees. Hy wil ons gids wees op die manlike reis. Selfs al het jy nie ‘n vaderfiguur gehad nie, kan God die gebeure in jou lewe gebruik om jou in te lyf as ‘n man. En Hy wil pa’s wys hoe om dit vir hul seuns te doen.’ Die weg van die ongetemde hart is ‘n padkaart vir die manlike reis. Dit sal jou lei om die man te word wat jy diep in jou hart wil wees – een wat weet hy is ‘n man en wat leef vanuit daardie diep, onwrikbare oortuiging. Dit maak nie saak hoe oud jy word nie. Jou Pa is reg om jou op die reis na ware manwees te neem. Want jy is sy seun.

Reading the Gospels without knowing the personality of Jesus is like watching television with the sound turned off. The result is a dry, two dimensional person doing strange, undecipherable things. In BEAUTIFUL OUTLAW, John Eldredge removes the religious varnish to help readers discover stunning new insights into the humanity of Jesus. He was accused of breaking the law, keeping bad company, heavy drinking. Of being the devil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him. But others loved him passionately. He had a sense of humor. His generosity was scandalous. His anger made enemies tremble. He''d say the most outrageous things. He was definitely not the Jesus of the stained glass. In the author''s winsome, narrative approach, he breaks Jesus out of the typical stereotypes, just as he set masculinity free in his book, Wild at Heart. By uncovering the real Jesus, readers are welcomed into the rich emotional life of Christ. All of the remarkable qualities of Jesus burst like fireworks with color and brilliance because of his humanity. Eldredge goes on to show readers how they can experience this Jesus in their lives every day. This book will quicken readers'' worship, and deepen their intimacy with Jesus.

"Frage dich nicht, was die Welt braucht. Frage dich lieber, was dich lebendig macht, und dann geh hin und tu das Entsprechende. Denn die Welt braucht nichts so sehr wie Männer, die lebendig geworden sind." (John Eldredge) Jeder Mann war einmal ein kleiner Junge. Und jeder kleine Junge hat Träume: Träume davon, ein Held zu sein oder ein Entdecker. Träume von kühnen, verwegenen Taten, die vor ihm noch niemand gewagt hat. Träume vom Kampf mit dem Drachen, um die schöne Prinzessin zu befreien. Aber was wird aus diesen Träumen, wenn wir erwachsen werden? Der Mann ist für ein abenteuerliches Leben geschaffen. Ein Mann wird erst dann wirklich glücklich sein können, wenn in seiner Arbeit, in seiner Liebe und in seinem spirituellen Leben das Abenteuer Einzug hält.

John Eldredge revises and updates his best-selling, renowned Christian classic, Wild at Heart, and in it invites men to: Recover their masculine heart. See themselves in the image of a passionate god. Delight in the strength and wildness men were created to offer. In this provocative book, Eldredge provides a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be—dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

“This is a series of stories of what it looks like to walk with God, over the course of about a year.” So begins a remarkable narrative of one man’s journey learning to hear the voice of God. The details are intimate and personal. The invitation is for us all. What if we could hear from God . . . often? What difference would it make? We have a lot to sort through on any given day. A whole lot to navigate over the course of a week or a month. Am I in the right place? The right relationships? How am I going to come up with enough money to do the things I want to do? And what about love—is this the one? Will it last? What is causing all those fears I keep pushing down inside? Why can’t I overcome those “habits” that look more and more like addictions? Am I at the right church? Should I even go to church? What is God doing in my life? All day long we are making choices. It adds up to an enormous amount of decisions in a lifetime. How do we know what to do? We have two options. We can trudge through on our own, doing our best to figure it all out. Or, we can walk with God. As in, learn to hear his voice. Really. We can live life with God. He offers to speak to us and guide us. Every day. It is an incredible offer. To accept that offer is to enter into an adventure filled with joy and risk, transformation and breakthrough. And more clarity than we ever thought possible.

In an age when fathers are more important than ever, how do you embark on your journey to manhood and know how to steer clear of the dangers along the way? In Fathered by God, New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reminds us that there''s a path to masculinity and, best of all, there''s a loving Father ready to help us follow it. In Fathered by God, Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our Father, and he wants to show us what masculinity really means. Eldredge teaches us that there''s a path leading to authentic manhood, cut by generation after generation of men. There are perils along the trail, even disasters--all the more reason to rely on the guidance of a Father who has gone before us. A boy has a lot to learn in his journey to becoming a man, and it takes the active intervention of father figures and the fellowship of other men to guide us along the way. Eldredge shares that in all of life''s trials and triumphs, God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood. Through personal stories and practical guidance, Eldredge provides a map through the six stages of a man''s journey and answers some of the most common questions about manhood that he''s received over the years, including: How can I set a good example for my son? What does the Bible teach us about masculinity? How can I become the man that God designed me to be? Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood--not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a well-worn path that men have followed for centuries before us. Discover the truth about masculinity and become the man that God sees in you.

Every little girl has dreams of being swept up into a great adventure, of being the beautiful princess. Sadly, when women grow up, they are often swept up into a life filled merely with duty and demands.

What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating will do for women. By revealing the core desires every woman shares- to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a grand adventure, and to unveil beauty-John and Stasi Eldredge invite women to recover their feminine hearts, created in the image of an intimate and passionate God. Join us as we journey into the deep mysteries of our feminine souls in order to recapture our hearts. Through the help of this Leader''s Guide, you will lead your group as you embark together on a great adventure of coming alive as a woman . . . God''s captivating woman.

Desire. We all share the same dilemma--we long for life, and we''re not sure where to find it. We must journey to find the life we prize. And the guide we have been given is the desire set deep within, the desire we often overlook or even choose to ignore. But God is calling to you through the desires of your heart. How you respond will set the course for the rest of your life.

This is a book about how a boy?and a man?becomes a man. It''s a guide to the process of masculine initiation, that ancient path every boy and man must take if they would become the man they long to be. The path whereby they come to know they are a man, and are able to live and love from a deep, centered strength. We live in a time where most men (and boys) are essentially fatherless. Whatever their circumstance, they have no man actually taking them through the many adventures, trials, battles and experiences they need to shape a masculine heart within them. They find themselves on their own to figure life out, and that is a lonely place to be. Their fears, anger, boredom, and their many addictions all come out of this fatherless place within them, a fundamental uncertainty in the core of their being. But there is a way. "We aren''t meant to figure life out on our own," says John Eldredge. "God wants to father us." In The Way of the Wild Heart, Eldredge reveals how God comes to a man and takes him on the masculine journey, how nearly all the events of a man''s life can come togther to provide the initiation he never received. And how parents can offer that initiation to their sons. Whatever your age may be, your Father is ready to take up your journey. For you are his son.

Packed with questions, stories, and discussion topics, you''ll discover the glory of a heart fully alive through features such as: Big Ideas-thought-provoking concepts that will challenge you to grow daily and excel as a cherished child of God; Mythic Parables-classic stories from Scripture as well as fairy tales, old and new; and Heart Monitors-barometers for evaluating your own feelings, struggles, and passions. No matter what you''ve known so far, Eldredge insists, "There is more available with God. There is so much more."

Ser héroe, ser guerrero, vivir una vida de aventura y riesgo.
