Description
Women in the Bible-some of their names we know, others we've only heard, and others are tragically unnamed. Pastor and provocateur Alice Connor introduces these women and invites us to see them not as players in a man's story-as victims or tempters-nor as morality archetypes, teaching us to be better wives and mothers, but as fierce foremothers of the faith. These women's stories are messy, challenging, and beautiful.
Fierce will provoke you, open...

Es la integridad de todo adorador la que siempre será puesta a prueba, por tal motivo y personalmente yo le he llamado "ADORAXION" (Adoración en Acción). Es decir, que la adoración en acción es una evidencia de los límites que en el diario vivir el creyente pone o sobrepasa para acercarse a Dios. No pasar los límites establecidos es estancarse, conformarse y tradicionalmente acomodarse. EXTRALIMITARSE en la adoración, es ir más allá de los...

The book of James has gotten a bad rap amongst Christians, especially modern protestants. It's often considered not as theologically serious as the writings of Paul, nor as gracious as the gospels. For some it's too works-oriented, for others just a bit obscure. Some have even questioned whether it is truly a Christian book. Let's face it. You're much more likely to see a seminary course on Romans or Galatians than on James, or to hear a sermon, for...
