How to Evangelize and the Art of Preaching
Price range: $7.99 through $19.99Preaching and Evangelization are the two pillars on which this book is built, forming the very foundation of Christianity. The author takes on the challenge of presenting and addressing these two major theological themes in a single document.
Preaching is an art – but an art that can be learned and practiced within the concrete realities of Christian life. To preach effectively, one must engage with homiletics, the theological discipline dedicated to transmitting the Word or preaching it with power. This book introduces readers to this theological reflection.
However, preaching the Word is not solely intended to strengthen and consolidate the faith of believers who have already been initiated into the science of salvation. Its primary aim is to reach non-believers, who are often thirsty for truth and love: they must be evangelized. Evangelization-the proclamation of the Good News-is a fundamental duty for every Christian.
“How to Evangelize and the Art of Preaching” highlights the techniques for effective evangelization, whether personal or public, emphasizing missionary visits, Bible study, and lay preaching.
A series of Bible studies aims to equip readers hungry for knowledge, not only for their personal growth but also to enable them to share it with others.
This book is intended for everyone, especially young people. It is for those who are already committed to preaching and evangelization as part of their daily lives and for those who wish to be initiated into it.

EU ACREDITO NO PAPAI NOEL E EU ACREDITO EM DEUS: Por que Eu Acredito
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99O Sr. Currie discute como pode ser difícil compartilhar as razões pelas quais acredita em Deus, o que o motivou a escrever este livro. A tese principal é que faz tanto sentido cientificamente quanto logicamente acreditar em Deus como não acreditar. Ele aceita que você possa discordar de sua escolha, mas espera que considere que a crença não é necessariamente uma ilusão ou algo que arruína tudo. Com alguma discussão sobre o que queremos dizer com crença e Deus, ele apresenta as razões e evidências que sustentam sua crença. Algumas razões para acreditar estão baseadas em coisas nas quais ele não acredita. Ele não acredita que o nada possa produzir algo, que a matéria tenha existido para sempre, ou que a inteligência, a consciência, as emoções e o senso de moralidade tenham surgido da matéria inanimada. Ele acredita que há evidências de design na criação e na vida que apontam para Deus. Essas coisas exigem uma entidade autônoma, inteligente e externa ao nosso tempo e espaço, Deus. Ele também acredita que os argumentos contra Deus não são adequados para negar a plausibilidade de uma crença sensata. Ele acredita no livre-arbítrio. Uma pessoa pode escolher acreditar ou não. Qualquer uma das escolhas é baseada na compreensão de uma pessoa sobre a evidência, juntamente com a fé.

CREO EN SANTA CLAUS Y CREO EN DIOS: Por qué creo
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99El Sr. Currie discute cómo puede ser difícil compartir las razones por las cuales cree en Dios, lo que lo motivó a escribir este libro. La tesis principal es que tiene tanto sentido científicamente como lógicamente creer en Dios como no creer. Acepta que uno pueda estar en desacuerdo con su elección, pero espera que considere que la creencia no es necesariamente una ilusión o algo que lo arruine todo. Con algo de discusión sobre lo que entendemos por creencia y Dios, presenta las razones y la evidencia que respaldan su creencia. Algunas razones para creer están basadas en cosas en las que él no cree. Él no cree que de la nada pueda surgir algo, que la materia haya existido siempre, o que la inteligencia, la conciencia, las emociones y el sentido de la moralidad hayan surgido de materia inanimada. Él cree que hay evidencia de diseño en la creación y la vida que apunta a Dios. Estas cosas requieren una entidad autónoma, inteligente y externa a nuestro tiempo y espacio: Dios. También cree que los argumentos en contra de Dios no son suficientes para negar la plausibilidad de una creencia sensata. Él cree en el libre albedrío. Una persona puede elegir creer o no creer.

Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone is a unique collection of music and poetry that celebrates the spirit of Kwanzaa. Set to familiar holiday tunes, these songs have all new lyrics and are expressed with a distinctive cultural flavor. The word “Kwanzaa” comes from the Swahili language and means “the first fruits of harvest” It is celebrated during the seven day period from December 26 to January 1. Kwanzaa is a unique cultural event that pays homage to the past, present, and future of African Americans. It has no religious connotations nor does it attempt to replace or substitute for Christmas, or any religious beliefs or observations. The reason why Kwanzaa came to be is simple: Until the creation of Kwanzaa by Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga in 1966, African Americans did not have a specific occasion to universally celebrate our culture. Kwanzaa incorporates African heritage into the festivities of the winter solstice and holiday season. After over forty years, practice, Kwanzaa is now celebrated by millions of people thorough out America, the African Diaspora, and all over the world. The seven principles of Kwanzaa promote family values, cultural enlightenment, and the growth of a cooperative community spirit, collective economic opportunities, community strength, family cohesiveness and progressive individual expression. The ultimate goal of Kwanzaa is that the Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles, become a living part of the individual and community until they are practiced every day of the year.
