En este libro, el autor best seller Max Lucado revela porque gracias a Belén, tenemos la promesa de que Dios está cerca de nosotros, siempre por nosotros y siempre con nosotros. Cada año, la temporada navideña impulsa a las personas a hacerse las preguntas sobre la navidad: ¿cuál es el objetivo del bebé en el pesebre? ¿Quién era él? ¿Qué tiene que ver su nacimiento conmigo? De todas las respuestas, hay una que sobresale: Gracias a Belén, Dios supo lo que es ser humano. Cuando hablamos con Dios acerca de nuestras luchas y nuestros tiempos difíciles, él nos comprende, porque él ha estado ahí. Ha estado aquí. En este libro, el autor best seller Max Lucado muestra que debido a que Jesús eligió nacer en este mundo, tenemos un amigo en el cielo. No tenemos ninguna mancha en nuestro historial, solamente gracia. Tenemos la promesa de que Dios está siempre cerca de nosotros, siempre por nosotros y siempre dentro de nosotros. Nosotros podemos olvidarnos de él, pero él nunca se olvida de nosotros. Navidad nos recuerda que «Dios dispone todas las cosas para el bien de quienes lo aman» (Romanos 8.28 ). Luego de que los invitados se han marchado, no se escuchan los villancicos y las luces se han apagado, esa promesa permanece.

Is your heart unsettled by the chaos of the world? Are you heavy-laden with bad moments, mad moments, or anxious moments? Today, rest in God’s self-giving love and leave all your troubles at the foot of the cross. In He Chose the Nails, Max Lucado observes that the last moments leading up to Jesus’ death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. God was never more sovereign than in the details of the death of his Son. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us...the cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn’t have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more. In this Easter season study, Max will help you: Experience Lent as a time not to just give up something, but to prepare to receive good gifts from God. Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life. Receive the grace of Christ's work for us, and cooperate with God's work in us to make us more like him. Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God’s presence, no matter what you've done. Search the scene of the cross and listen for God’s gentle whisper, “I did it just for you.” The He Chose the Nails Study Guide includes video notes and discussion questions, Bible exploration, an individual application activity, and a Lenten practice to complete between meetings. Sessions include: He Chose to Be One of Us He Chose to Forgive Us He Chose to Invite Us into His Presence He Chose to Love Us Forever He Chose to Give Us Victory He Chose to Give Us Confidence (optional session for Week 6 of Lent) Designed for use with Because of Bethlehem/He Chose the Nails Video Study (9780310687849), sold separately. The DVD is a two-disc set for Christmas and Easter.

In the Because of Bethlehem video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado guides you through the Advent season to its source at an unassuming stable in Bethlehem... No one expected the Messiah to come the way he did. Yet the way he came was every bit as important as the coming itself. The manger is the message. Because of Bethlehem, God knows what it's like to be human. Because of Bethlehem, when we talk to him about tough times, he understands. He's been there. He's been here. Because of Bethlehem, we no longer have marks on our record...just grace. In the midst of your hectic Christmas season, this 4-session Bible study with Max will: Revive your wonder that the One who made everything chose to make himself nothing for us.

Alla ber vi. Ibland. Speciellt när livets olika omständigheter knackar på dörren. Men i själva verket vet vi att som kristna bör vi be annorlunda. Mer ofta. Bättre. Med mer eld, tro och innerlighet. Den goda nyheten är att vi inte är de första som längtar efter att få uppleva en förändring. Även Jesu lärjungar behövde vägledning på bönens område. Max Lucado tar med läsaren på en resa i bönens värld. Genom att komprimera Jesu undervisning om bön till en enda enkel, kort och revolutionerande bön att minnas inspirerar Max Lucado till ett fungerande böneliv. Det kanske inte behöver vara så svårt att be? Med studiefrågor för enskilt bruk eller för gruppsamtal. Mer än 120 miljoner läsare har funnit inspiration och uppmuntran genom Max Lucados böcker.

Do you ever feel like a second-class citizen in this world? Do you wonder how God could possibly use you to change lives? For women in Bible times, these weren't even questions they thought about. Being overlooked, marginalized, having your contributions discounted because you're a woman...it's just the way things were. In this 10-lesson workbook, Max Lucado tells some of his favorite accounts of women in Scripture and the remarkable way God broke down cultural barriers to use them in the unfolding of His story. You will discover... Sarah, the woman whom God promised would give birth to a nation, but who tried to rush things when God's promises didn't seem to be coming to pass. Rahab, a prostitute in the Canaanite city of Jericho, who would save herself and her family through her faith in the one true God of the Israelites. Abigail, a woman forced to play peacemaker by the barbaric behavior of her husband. Esther, a young queen whom God placed in the Persian court for “such a time as this” to prevent the genocide of the Jewish people. Mary, the young virgin pledged to Joseph, whom God would choose to give birth to Jesus, the promised Messiah who would save the world. The Samaritan Woman, who would meet this Messiah at a well one day. His words would forever after change her life. The Canaanite Woman, who made God smile with her wit and faith, and who received from Jesus an answer to her prayer. Mary of Bethany, a friend of Jesus who witnessed the resurrection of her brother, Lazarus, and then anointed Christ in anticipation of his death and resurrection. Mary Magdalene, who followed Jesus despite the injustice of a world that judged her for her past and said she would always be considered a failure. Sapphira, a woman in the early church who, along with her husband, made the unfortunate (and deadly) decision to lie to the Holy Spirit. These stories show us there is a God who sees us where we are and loves us for who we are. He is the one who hovers over all the pages of the Bible, shaping lives, rescuing hearts, healing sicknesses, raising what was dead to life, and passing out high callings to those who choose to follow him and have faith in him. Each lesson includes: 5 Daily in-depth Bible studies to help you explore the stories in Scripture Daily points to remember to help you summarize the key points Daily prayers to help you focus your thoughts and move into your quiet time Weekly memory verses to help you hide God's word in your heart Additional notes to help you lead a group through the study Ten Women of the Bible is a standalone workbook, ideal for both individual use and for study in a small-group setting.

Hopp och tröst när livet händer Ibland kan livets utmaningar bara bli för mycket. Hur ska man kunna orka fortsätta när botten är nådd och kraften tagit slut? För dig kan det vara ekonomiska svårigheter, ett dåligt besked från läkaren, en olycka, eller att du fått skilsmässopappren serverade framför dig av din äkta hälft. Vad det än är, så förstår du att livet kommer att förändras dramatiskt. Och det ser inte ut att kunna bli till det bättre. I boken Du kommer ta dig igenom guidar Max Lucado läsaren genom bibelns berättelse om Josef. Berövad sin identitet, kastad i en brunn och såld som slav; Josefs liv bestod av nederlag och utmaningar. Samtidigt som tiden gick verkade Gud genom hans omständigheter för att de så småningom skulle leda till både upprättelse och försoning. Så, även om du har svårt att se det nu, kommer du också att ta dig igenom. Berättelsen om Josefs liv slutade inte i ett djupt, svart hål – och det kommer inte ditt liv att göra heller.
