New Releases by John Eldredge

Most Christians miss the ultimate hope for their future because their views of heaven are vague, religious . . . and, frankly, boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer, noting is lost. Heaven is not an endless life of harp strumming and worship singing in the clouds. Rather, the life we long for – the paradise Adam and Eve knew – is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon. In this five-session study, John Eldredge explores the revolutionary idea that according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home – the New Earth is. Jesus said the next chapter of our story begins with “the renewal of all things” (Matthew 19:28), by which he meant the earth we love, ourselves, and all the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, and laughter. God’s promise is that everything shall be renewed “when the world is made new.” Part devotional, part adventure story, part field manual, this study will help you see the glorious future coming to you and provide “hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” (Hebrews 6:19). Ideal for individual or group use, this guide includes personal reflection questions, targeted excerpts from All Things New, a Big Ideas overview, small-group discussion questions, and group exercises. A leader’s guide is also included for those facilitating a group. Sessions include: The Hope of Renewal Creation Made New Your Story Told Rightly What We’ll Do in the New Earth The Power of Our Hope Designed for use with the All Things New Video Study (9780310087656).

¿CUÁL SERÁ L A GRAN ESPERANZA QUE SOSTIENE SU VIDA?Este libro revolucionario acerca de nuestro futuro se basa en la sencilla idea de que, según la Biblia, el cielo no es nuestro hogar eterno, sino la tierra nueva. Tal como Jesús afirma en el Evangelio de Mateo, el próximo capítulo de nuestra historia comienza con «la renovación de todas las cosas», refiriéndose a la tierra que amamos en toda su belleza, nuestro propio ser y las cosas que enriquecen la vida: la música, el arte, la comida, las risas y todo lo que atesoramos. Todo ha de serrenovado «cuando la tierra sea hecha nueva».La manera en que imagina su futuro determina su experiencia actual más que cualquier otra cosa. Si estuviera seguro que Dios restaurará, en cualquier momento, su vida y todo lo que disfruta; si estuviera seguro que recibirá una bendición grande y gloriosa, no en el cielo sino aquí en esta tierra, tendría una esperanza que le ayudaría a enfrentar cualquier circunstancia, una certeza en el alma, «la cual tenemos como segura y firme ancla del alma, y que penetra hasta dentro del velo» (Hebreos 6.19).La mayoría de los cristianos no esperan el futuro con ansias porque sus ideas acerca del cielo son confusas, religiosas y, francamente, aburridas. La esperanza surge cuando comprendemos que para el creyente nada está perdido. El cielo no es una vida en las nubes; no consiste en canciones de adoración perpetuas. Más bien, la vida que anhelamos, el paraíso que Adán y Eva conocieron, es precisamente la vida que está preparada para nosotros.Y ESA VIDA VIENE PRONTO.

Our deepest need is to live in conversation with God. To hear his voice. To follow him intimately. This is the most life-changing habit that we can adopt, because it brings us back to the source of life. Yet most Christians have never been taught how to have a conversation with the Creator.

Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” That’s the offer of Christianity, from God himself. Jesus touched people, and they changed: the blind had sight, the lame walked, the deaf heard, the dead were raised. To be touched by God, in other words, is to be restored, to be made all God means us to be. That is what Christianity promises to do?make us whole, set us free, and bring us fully alive.

John Eldredge, autor best seller del New York Times ofrece una guía paso a paso hacia una oración eficaz, una guía paso a paso a través de diversas ocasiones en las que las oraciones pueden ser aplicadas, incluyendo el fundamento bíblico que respalda «la técnica», anécdotas alentadoras y modelos de oraciones. ¿Por qué unas oraciones funcionan y otras no? ¿Cómo se sentiría orar con la confianza y la garantía de que Dios te escucha y que tus oraciones hacen una diferencia? John Eldredge ofrece una guía paso a paso hacia una oración eficaz. Todos tenemos una razón para orar. Anhelamos ver que Dios conceda nuestras peticiones y las de nuestros seres amados. Sin embargo, algunas veces no lo hace, y entonces, ¿dónde nos deja esa situación? ¿Estamos haciendo algo mal? ¿No nos escucha? ¿Por qué las oraciones de algunas personas parecen más eficaces que las de otras? Entonces nos desanimamos y dejamos de lado la oración, el arma misma que Dios nos ha dado para que no nos desanimemos. Si tienes algún interés en la oración, necesitas oraciones que funcionen. Esa es la clase de oraciones que constituyen el tema de este libro. Cuando descubrimos que la oración no consiste simplemente en pedirle a Dios que haga algo, sino que representa nuestra colaboración con Él, se abren ante nosotros nuevas posibilidades. No hay nada más esperanzador que el pensamiento de que las cosas pueden ser diferentes, y de que tenemos un papel que desempeñar en producir los cambios necesarios. Con Dios, podemos mover montañas. Mueve montañas te enseñará cómo experimentar el poder de la oración, desde la intimidad de la oración de escuchar, la oración de sanidad interior y el «clamor del corazón», hasta la habilidad de las oraciones de intervención, de consagración y de guerra espiritual. Tu vida nunca será la misma. Tampoco lo será el mundo… gracias a tus oraciones.

Indrazneste sa fii omul care doresti sa fii, omul de care lumea are nevoie! Cum ar fi sa reusesti in cea mai mare provocare a vietii tale? Curaj, perseverenta, ingeniozitate – asa se ucid leii incercarilor cu care ne confruntam fiecare la un moment dat. Mai mult decat o carte, Vanatoarea de lei este o invitatie la o experienta inedita; este provocarea de a urmari un vis, de a deveni mai intelept, de a-ti construi un plan de bataie si chiar de a ucide niste lei care uneori iti dau tarcoale. Toti ne dorim sa fim autonomi, sa ne urmam propria cale pentru a ne implini visurile. Vrem sa le stim pe toate si sa nu cerem ajutorul nimanui. Acesta este modul in care majoritatea dintre noi abordeaza inceputul vietii adulte – pe cont propriu. Dar mai devreme sau mai tarziu, dorinta noastra de independenta se pierde in negura izolarii. Este momentul sa renuntam la ambitii. Nu suntem fortati sa inaintam de unii singuri prin viata. Asa s-a nascut aceasta carte, din conversatiile lui Sam Eldredge, un tanar scriitor, trecut cu putin de 20 de ani, si tatal sau, John, un renumit autor. Sunt conversatii de care nu toti tinerii au parte, dar de care, fara indoiala, toti au nevoie, si este o invitatie pentru a fi si tu un fiu care primeste sfaturi din partea tatalui sau ori un tata care invata ce trebuie sa-i spuna fiului sau despre descoperirea unei cariere cu sens, curtarea unei tinere domnisoare, casatorie, urmarirea unor visuri si descoperirea drumului in viata. Nu esti singur. Nu depinde numai de tine. Iti vei gasi drumul tau.

In Luke 11:1, the disciples asked Jesus, "Teach us to pray!" Most of us want to know more about how prayer works. While we are used to offering up prayers, we wonder if we are praying in the most effective way or if we are approaching the throne of God in the "right" way. We ask ourselves: How do I listen for God? How do I pray for healing? How do I pray when I am under spiritual attack? How do I pray to break through strongholds of habitual sin? How do I pray for protection? How do I pray for my lost friends and family? In Moving Mountains Study Guide, bestselling author John Eldredge shows how we labor under the misconception that prayer is asking God to intervene instead of partnering with him to get things done. This faulty assumption leads to untold confusion and grief when we ask of God but can''t sense He hears us--or even cares. Rather, Jesus says, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19). When we operate from this position, we approach prayer with far greater confidence. We understand we have a role in making change happen and are not victims of circumstance--that we are sons and daughters of God bestowed with tremendous authority. Sessions include: There Is a Way Things Work (11:00) The Cry of the Heart (12:00) The Prayer of Intervention (12:00) The Prayer of Consecration (14:00) Listening Prayer (12:00) Warfare Prayer (12:00) Healing Prayer (12:00) Holding the Heart in Unanswered Prayer (13:00) Designed for use with the Moving Mountains Study Guide 9780718037512 (sold separately).

New York Times best-selling author of Wild at Heart John Eldredge offers readers a step-by-step guide to effective Christian prayer. How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance—certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference? It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That’s because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don’t appear to change anything. Either response can lead to disappointment or even despair in the face of our ongoing battles and unmet longings—especially when we don’t know if we’re doing something wrong or if some prayers just don’t work. New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge confronts these issues directly in Moving Mountains by offering a hopeful approach to prayer that is effective, relational, and rarely experienced by most Christians. In a world filled with danger, adventure, and wonder, we have at our disposal prayers that can transform the events and issues that matter most to us and to God. Moving Mountains shows you how to experience the power of daily prayer, learn the major types of prayers—including those of intervention, consecration, warfare, and healing—and to discover the intimacy of the cry of the heart prayer, listening prayer, and praying Scripture. Things can be different, and you personally have a role to play with God in bringing about that change through prayer. It may sound too good to be true, but this is your invitation to engage in the kind of prayers that can move God''s heart as well as the mountains before you. Moving Mountains is also available in Spanish, Mueve montañas. To dive deeper into the Moving Mountains message, the Moving Mountains study guide and video study are available now.

Normalmente no nos identificamos con el autor de una gran historia. En lugar de eso, nos aferramos al heroe y heroína de quienes se trata la historia. Compartimos sus sufrimientos y sus triunfos. Celebramos sus logros y sufrimos sus pérdidas.Cuando pensamos en nuestra propia historia, vemos a Dios como el autor intelectual, omnisciente y omnipotente pero fallamos en reconocerlo como el personaje principal. Este libro relata una vez más la historia del evangelio en cuatro actos, John Eldredge nos invita a revisitar el drama de la vida, considerando a Dios no solo como el autor sino como el actor principal, explorando su corazón y sus motivos. Eldredge examina el poder de la historia, el anhelo de un «plan» que tenga sentido profundo dentro de nosotros, nuestro deseo de tener un papel significativo que desempeñar, nuestro amor por los libros y las películas, y cómo todo esto nos dirige anbl evangelio mismo.¡Es una historia mejor que cualquier cuento de hadas! Nuestros corazones humanos están hechos para grandes sucesos, y el Evangelio, con su tragedia y grandeza, es verdaderamente majestuoso.

Mas aqueles que o conheceram melhor o amaram de um modo apaixonado. E este Jesus não mudou nem um pouco Ele ainda é Ele mesmo, e está disponível para todos aqueles que gostariam de conhecê-lo.

A Place to Chart Your Journey This is your space. To chase dreams. Capture wisdom from other men. Create a battle plan. Even kill some lions.

E todas são mulheres maravilhosas.Mas, então, quem teria a verdadeira alma feminina? Cinderela ou Joana d`Arc? Maria Madalena ou Elis Regina? Ou todas elas?

WILD AT HEART DVD-BASED STUDY, SESSION 2 WILD AT HEART DVD-BASED STUDY, SESSION 2

Leblose Ehen. Ein weit verbreiteter Zustand. Wir geben auf, was wir erträumten und wozu wir letztlich geschaffen wurden. Aus viel zu vielen Liebesgeschichten voller Romantik wird schließlich ein verzweifelter Kampf. Eine dauerhafte Liebesbeziehung scheint wie kein zweites Ziel auf dieser Welt zum Scheitern verurteilt. Doch Ihre Ehe ist Teil einer viel größeren Geschichte. Es geht um das wilde Herz der Ehe, um Leidenschaft füreinander und die Leidenschaft Gottes, wenn es um uns Menschen geht. Es geht um die hohe Berufung der Ehe, die ein Teil des großen Abenteuers Gottes mit dieser Welt ist.

Dieses Buch ruft heraus aus einem in Routine erstarrten Christsein. Und es lädt dazu ein, auf die Stimme des Herzens zu hören. Denn das Herz ist der Ort, durch den Gott diese Welt verändern möchte. John Eldredge entfaltet in "Der ungezähmte Christ", wie Gott durch den Glauben die Herzen der Menschen erneuert und ihnen damit das Leben in Fülle schenkt, das Jesus verheißt. Wie dies geschieht?- Im täglichen Leben in der Gegenwart Gottes- Im Hören auf die Stimme des Geistes- In umfassender Heilung und Erneuerung- Im Kampf des Glaubens, der um und in unseren Herzen stattfindet."Der ungezähmte Christ" ist ein kämpferisches Buch. Denn das Herz ist umkämpft. Undes ist ein Wagnis, dem eigenem Herzen zu folgen. Wer es eingeht, dessen Glaube wirdalles andere als harmlos sein.

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.

Lo que los bestsellers de Eldredge Salvaje de corazón hicieron por los hombres y Cautivante por las mujeres, AMOR Y GUERRA lo hará por los matrimonios de todo el mundo. John y Stasi Eldredge han aportado obras por excelencia sobre la espiritualidad cristiana a través de la experiencia de los hombres y mujeres, y ahora se centran en la increíble dinámica entre estas dos fuerzas. Con una refrescante franqueza que atrapará a los lectores desde la primera página, los Eldredge hablan de su propio matrimonio y de las lecciones que han obtenido de los retos a los que se han enfrentado. Cada uno de ellos habla con el lector de forma independiente sobre lo que ha aprendido, dando a su orientación una inmediatez personal y un equilibrio entre las perspectivas masculina y femenina que han estado ausentes en todos los libros anteriores sobre este tema. AMOR Y GUERRA comienza con un reconocimiento obvio pero necesario: El matrimonio es fabulosamente duro. Aconsejan que, cuanto antes nos quitemos la vergüenza y la confusión de encima, antes encontraremos el camino. AMOR Y GUERRA muestra a las parejas cómo luchar por su amor y su felicidad, llamando a hombres y mujeres a adentrarse en la gran aventura que Dios les espera juntos. Caminando junto a John y Stasi Eldredge, cada pareja puede descubrir cómo sus viajes individuales crecen en una historia de significado mucho más grande que cualquier cosa que pudieran hacer por su cuenta. What the Eldredge bestsellers Wild at Heart did for men, and Captivating did for women, LOVE & WAR will do for married couples everywhere. John and Stasi Eldredge have contributed the quintessential works on Christian spirituality through the experience of men and the experience of women and now they turn their focus to the incredible dynamic between those two forces. With refreshing openness that will grab readers from the first page, the Eldredges candidly discuss their own marriage and the insights they''ve gained from the challenges they faced. Each talks independently to the reader about what they''ve learned, giving their guidance personal immediacy and a balance between the male and female perspectives that has been absent from all previous books on this topic. They begin LOVE & WAR with an obvious but necessary acknowledgement: Marriage is fabulously hard. They advise that the sooner we get the shame and confusion off our backs, the sooner we''ll find our way through. LOVE & WAR shows couples how to fight for their love and happiness, calling men and women to step into the great adventure God has waiting for them together. Walking alongside John and Stasi Eldredge, every couple can discover how their individual journeys are growing into a story of meaning much greater than anything they could do or be on their own.

Die meeste seuntjies droom daarvan om avontuur te beleef; Maar wanneer hulle grootword, word hulle toegegooi onder allerhande pligte en verwagtings, en worstel hulle onder die druk van wat van hulle verwag word: om ’n goeie dienaar, man en pa te wees. Jy is ‘n held! wys waarom God die enigste Een is wat daardie begeertes vol¬maak kan bevredig.

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.

"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.

"Sanfte Schönheit" oder "wilde Frau" Was macht das Wesen echter Weiblichkeit aus? Wie kann eine Frau heute selbstbewusst und erfüllt leben? John und Stacy Eldredge zeichnen ein neues Bild authentischer Weiblichkeit. Tatkraft, Mut und Selbstbewusstsein haben darin ebenso Platz wie das Bedürfnis, zu lieben und geliebt zu werden. Und welche Rolle spielt die Schönheit für das "schöne Geschlecht"? Schönheit ist keine Frage von Diätplänen und Fitnessprogrammen. Sie ist ein Wesensmerkmal jeder Frau seit Eva, oft genug verborgen hinter den Schutzmechanismen, mit denen wir uns vor den Verletzungen des Lebens schützen. Aber sie kann wieder ans Licht treten, dort, wo eine Frau ihre ureigene Bestimmung entdeckt.

Sometime between the dreams of your youth and yesterday''s to-do list, something precious has been lost: your priceless femininity. God has set within you a femininity that is powerful, tender, and fierce. No doubt it has been misunderstood, but it is there, and it is worth recovering. In this updated and expanded edition of their runaway bestseller, John and Stasi Eldredge vulnerably share their story and show you how to set your heart free and embrace life as a woman who is truly captivating. The mystery of the feminine heart was meant to be a good thing, a source of joy. But all too often, it becomes a source of shame. We almost universally feel that we are too much or not enough. This book combines timeless scripture with honest, heartfelt stories from women who have been there, too, giving you the encouragement you need to: Discover the glorious design of women that God originally intended Understand how Jesus restores the feminine heart Heal the trauma in your story Embrace the inherent power, freedom, and beauty that you already possess As we grow older and our dreams are slowly pushed aside, we''re told that we have to settle for a life of efficiency and performance, striving to be the women we''re told that we ought to be and still feeling like we''re failing. But it doesn''t have to be this way. Let Captivating help you discover the woman you were meant to be.

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.
