Scripture tells us to "Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth" (Col. 3:2 NLT). But how do we think about a place we've never seen? In 2015, John Burke's Imagine Heaven uncovered an exhilarating picture of Heaven, drawn from Scripture and illustrated with true stories of near-death experiences. This New York Times bestseller offered real-life evidence that supported readers' faith and answered some of their most pressing questions about life after death. Now you can meditate daily on the realities of Heaven with the Imagine Heaven Devotional. Each of the one hundred devotions in this book includes a near-death story from Imagine Heaven, Scripture, and a prayer, as well as brand-new stories and content that will help you meditate on the life to come as you apply God's heavenly promises to how you live life today." I've always contended that if we were more heavenly minded now, we could do more earthly good. Happily, in this brilliant devotional John and Kathy help you do this each day of your life."--Don Piper, New York Times bestselling author and speaker"Created for a perfect world, you and I get weary, and this book allows us the vision that restores our faith to not simply wait for the future but to live deeply and differently because of that future."--Nancy Ortberg, author of Looking for God

”Minua kiinnosti tämä kursailematon paikka, jossa korostettiin sisäistä kasvua Kristuksessa eikä ulkoisia puitteita”, kertoo ”Jeremy” kirjassa ”Täydelliset älkööt vaivautuko”. Kirja on täynnä vastaavia elämäntarinoita: lukemattomat ihmiset ovat tulleet seurakuntaan silkkaa uteliaisuuttaan mutta löytäneet sieltä vastauksia kipeisiin kysymyksiinsä ja suunnan elämälleen. Seurakunnan pastori John Burke toteaakin, että ”jälkikristillisessä” maailmassamme seurakunnalla on edessään kaikkien aikojen suurin haaste - ja suurin mahdollisuus: Jumala kiehtoo tuhansia hengellisesti uteliaita. Miten elää todeksi ilosanomaa Kristuksesta alati muuttuvassa kulttuurissa? ”Täydelliset älkööt vaivautuko” kertoo epätäydellisistä ihmisistä, joiden elämässä Jumala on tehnyt täydellistä työtä. Seurakunta voi vieläkin mullistaa ihmisen elämän. Tärkeintä on luoda oikeanlainen kulttuuri, jossa toivotetaan tervetulleiksi vajavaisetkin.

This book examines the ideological and socio-political discourses shaping the remembrance and representation of Britain and the Cyprus conflict of 1974 within Greek Cypriot society. By combining the official with the popular and drawing on an extensive range of oral history interviews, this monograph shows that a suspicion born out of Britain’s long (neo-)colonial connection to Cyprus has come to frame the image and understanding of British actions associated with the events, and lasting consequences, of 1974. Indeed, with the island of Cyprus still divided, and the requirement to remember a national imperative, this book has a direct contemporary relevance. However, within the existent literature, while much has been written about the political roots of the Cyprus conflict, no study has yet sought to systematically analyse and understand the influences shaping the history and memory of British actions on Cyprus in 1974. One defined by the existence of 'partitionist' conspiracies, collusive accusations and a series of memory distortions which continue to resonate strongly irrespective of the evidence that is now available. As such, by analysing the influences shaping the image of Britain in 1974, one can begin to understand in ever greater detail the Anglo–Greek Cypriot relationship in a modern context.

Alle ønsker vi oss et godt liv her og nå. Likevel er det ikke til å unngå at tanken på hva som skjer etter dette livet - etter døden - til tider streifer de fleste av oss. John Burke, forfatteren av Nå ser jeg Himmelen, er ingen unntakelse i så måte! I denne boken tar han derfor for seg ett hundre fengslende historier om nær-døden-opplevelser og sammenligner dem med hva Bibelen sier om noen av de spørsmålene vi ofte stiller oss om Himmelen: Kommer jeg til å være meg selv? Kommer jeg til å se kjente og kjære? Hvordan ser Himmelen ut? Hvordan er Gud? Hva skal vi gjøre der hele tiden? Hva med barn og kjæledyr? John Burke har brukt flere tiår på å studere disse historiene. Du finner både fantastiske historier fra Himmelen og fryktelige historier fra helvete. Selv om ikke hver eneste detalj i nær-døden-opplevelsene kan forstås utfra Skriften, viser Burke hvordan de felles erfaringene som tusener av overlevende, deriblant leger, professorer, banksjefer - og folk i alle aldre og fra alle kulturer - har gjort, peker mot det fascinerende bildet av Himmelen som Bibelen gir løfte om. Denne boken vil for alltid forandre ditt syn på det livet som skal komme, og på hvordan du lever livet ditt i dag.

Why were sinners so attracted to Jesus yet repelled by the religious? It had everything to do with the heart of Jesus. They sensed that Jesus was for them--not against them.

Through this engaging study of Jesus's encounters with imperfect people, combined with real-life stories of ordinary people having Christlike impact, readers will learn how to show unshockable love toward those around them.
