Fii multumitoare pentru darurile lui Dumnezeu si descopera bunatatea Sa! Pentru a redescoperi frumusetea vietii in cele mai simple si adesea neobservate detalii, Ann Voskamp te invita sa iesi din valtoarea ametitoare a cotidianului si sa incepi sa numeri „cele o mie de daruri”. Acestea pot fi momentele de liniste si pline de bucurie sau chiar incercarile care te formeaza si te apropie de Dumnezeu. Este o practica prin care vei invata sa vezi harul divin in lucruri marunte si, totodata, provocatoare. Aceasta calatorie iti va oferi ocazia sa descoperi bucuria in Cristos, sa simti mai profund iubirea pentru Dumnezeu si sa te desfatezi in prezenta Sa. Conceputa ca un devotional bazat pe cartea O mie de daruri, cartea cuprinde 60 de meditatii pentru doua luni de reflectie. Fiecare meditatie include texte biblice, rugaciuni, intrebari care te provoaca sa meditezi si spatii pentru notite personale. Este o combinatie perfecta intre spiritualitate profunda si aplicabilitate practica, o lectura care te inspira si care iti poate transforma viata. Prin practica zilnica a recunostintei, indiferent de natura darurilor – mici sau mari, simple sau dificile – vei dezvolta o atitudine de multumire care iti va schimba perspectiva asupra vietii. Vei descoperi cum sa vezi binecuvantarile chiar si in provocari si sa gasesti o bucurie autentica si durabila in relatia ta cu Cristos. Mai mult decat o lectura, aceasta carte este o invitatie calda la o legatura mai profunda cu Dumnezeu. Harul nesfarsit al lui Dumnezeu, care ne copleseste, este menit sa fie experimentat direct. Nu exista nicio metoda sau formula standard. Doar disponibilitatea simpla de a te apleca sa primesti, de a incepe sa iei seama la dragostea zilnica pe care Dumnezeu ti-o dezvaluie. Cel mai important lucru este sa incepi pur si simplu. Ia un stilou si aceasta carte – si iti vei schimba viata. Aceste meditatii sunt o cronica a descoperirilor autoarei, fiecare in parte precum un pom singuratic intr-o padure luxurianta de haruri. Desi periplul fiecaruia este unic, impartasirea acestor crampeie te vor incuraja in propria-ti descoperire a unui stil de viata in miezul caruia Se afla Cristos si partasia cu El, a dragostei extravagante cu care te iubeste Dumnezeu si a nevoii tale disperate de El in fiecare clipa.

INDRAZNESTE SA PASESTI SPRE VIATA DIN ABUNDENTA! NU EXISTA NIMIC STRICAT CARE SA NU POATA FI RESTAURAT! Frangerea nu este o experienta ce-o traiesti doar in momentele de cumpana ale vietii: in boli, in necazuri sau in intristari. Ea te poate incerca in viata de zi cu zi. Invata sa-I dai slava lui Isus prin umblarea ta si accepta libertatea, nu evitand frica si durerea, ci trecand chiar prin ele. Cartea aceasta este pentru cei care iubesc si care sufera. Este pentru cei robiti care vor sa se elibereze, pentru cei pregatiti sa distruga tiparele, sa rupa lanturile, sa franga standardele de evaluare si toata zdrobirea paguboasa cu neobisnuita frangere sanatoasa. Ai putea fi o Preaiubita care, in ciuda faptului ca e franta, se lasa inca iubita. Suntem fragili si stim bine lucrul acesta. Cateodata viata cu Cristos intr-o lume zbuciumata nu pare ca o biruinta, ci mai degraba ca un suis anevoios. Ann Voskamp, aflata la cumpana vietii si a propriei frangeri nerostite, pune intrebari pe care nimeni nu-si poate permite sa le ignore. Incetineste. Opreste-te. Permite credintei sa patrunda, sa vindece. Ai incredere in aceasta cale a frangerii, care te elibereaza de frica de lucrurile frante; numai pe ea poti cu adevarat ajunge la viata din abundenta. EDITIE CARTONATA REVIZUITA INTR-O NOUA TRADUCERE Despre autoare: ANN VOSKAMP este sotia unui fermier, mama a sapte copii si autoarea care a inregistrat recorduri greu de egalat cu toate cartile sale de pana acum. Christianity Today a nominalizat-o in topul celor mai importante cincizeci de femei care au un impact major in modelarea culturii si a bisericii de astazi. Ann este cofondatoare a ShowUpNow.com si o dedicata sustinatoare a celor marginalizati si oprimati de pe tot globul. Aprecieri pentru aceasta carte: Iata ce trebuie sa stii despre Ann Voskamp: dupa succesul uluitor al cartii sale O mie de daruri, ea a ales sa-si lepede mantaua de guru spiritual si s-o imbrace in schimb pe cea a vulnerabilitatii profunde. In aceasta carte, ea ne ajuta sa reducem viteza, sa oprim timpul in loc si sa-i permitem credintei sa patrunda cu indrazneala in haosul vietii noastre de zi cu zi, expunand-o in asa fel incat sa putem fi vindecati. —Philip Yancey, editor, Christianity Today * Ann Voskamp ne convinge ca nu exista frangere ce nu poate fi vindecata daca-L facem pe Cristosul cel viu prezent in viata noastra. Ea ne ofera o perspectiva uluitor de proaspata asupra unui subiect deseori expus in clisee. Imi place nespus de mult afirmatia pe care o face: „Impotriveste-te intunericului cu lauda... lauda poate detoxifia ziua.“ —Eugene H. Peterson, profesor emerit de teologie, Regent College, Vancouver, BC * Am citit Calea frangerii cu lacrimi siroindu-mi pe obraji si strigand in duhul meu: „DA, DA, DA, DA!“ Nu multi scriitori au reusit sa-mi influenteze viata atat de mult. Daca am putea aplica in viata noastra adevarul expus aici, sunt convinsa ca altfel am ajunge la inima generatiei noastre. Este o carte impresionanta. Absolut profetica si profunda. Ti-o recomand din tot sufletul. —Christine Caine, fondatoare a organizatiei A21 si Propel Women,autoarea cartii Fara rusine * Calea frangerii este cel mai sincer si minunat balsam vindecator pentru o inima indurerata. Perspectiva autentica si plina de har din care scrie Ann Voskamp este absolut invioratoare si datatoare de viata. Aceasta carte este un adevarat dar din partea lui Dumnezeu! —Lysa Terkeurst, autoare de bestselleruri New York Times si presedinte a Proverbs 31 Ministries * Ann Voskamp are un talent neobisnuit in manuirea cuvintelor si o sensibilitate deosebita fata de problemele inimii. Viata ne poate pune in situatia de a cauta o cale de iesire, o fereastra. Ann tine perdeaua cu mana lasand lumina, in propriu-i stil, sa patrunda atat cat sa alunge umbrele si sa ne dea speranta. —Max Lucado, pastor si autor de succes CUPRINS Multumiri Capitolul 1: Ce sa faci cu inima-ti franta Capitolul 2: Nu-ti uita frangerile Capitolul 3: Tot mai aproape de inima Lui franta Capitolul 4: Cum sa frangi timpul in doua Capitolul 5: Cum sa devii darul de care lumea are nevoie Capitolul 6: O cale mai buna decat o lista cu dorinte de implinit Capitolul 7: Dragostea – un acoperis pentru frangerile noastre Capitolul 8: De ce merita ca dragostea sa-ti franga inima Capitolul 9: Miracolul de buzunar care frange stresul Capitolul 10: Cum sa iubesti, chiar si cand ti se frange inima Capitolul 11: Frangerea in Adevar Capitolul 12: Frangerea frangerii tale Capitolul 13: Adevarul suparator pe care nu ti-l spune nimeni Capitolul 14: Frangerea minciunilor din mintea ta Capitolul 15: Cum sa fii o Estera si sa deschizi o mie de porti Capitolul 16: Despre curtarea lui Dumnezeu si vindecarea ranilor Capitolul 17: Cum sa gasesti eroi intr-o lume a suferintei Capitolul 18: De ce nu trebuie sa-ti fie teama de frangere Epilog Despre autoare

The simplest of truths told through the sweetest of songs can change the world. Early one foggy morning, Una Rayne feels unsure about the day ahead of her. She sits down on the porch with her mama, who sings a song of truth over her: “Jesus loves you, makes you strong. In Him, you’re brave and you belong.” Una Rayne steps bravely into her day, her mama’s words a reminder of how much she is loved by Jesus. When no one seems to want to sit with Una Rayne at lunchtime, she bravely sings the song, and others are drawn to come sit with her.

For whose you are.” As Una Rayne continues to live with bravery and kindness, the song spreads throughout the world and fills the hearts of all who hear it. Many children face fear and uncertainty. This book gives them the confidence to know that they are secure and safe in Jesus, no matter what comes. It also encourages them to share God’s love with others because bravery in Jesus is contagious and world-changing! Features include: A page to attach your child’s picture that makes this a uniquely personalized kids’ book Exquisite acrylic artwork by illustrator Amy Grimes Inspirational prose about finding your security and identity in Christ A rhyming song that kids can memorize easily so that they can return to its truth every day This heartfelt story will help your child internalize the truth that their ultimate sense of well-being can be found in the love of Jesus Christ.

¿A veces te parece imposible alcanzar lo que quieres? ¿Eres soltero y quieres casarte? ¿Eres estéril y deseas tener hijos? ¿Estás en un trabajo sin futuro y quieres conseguir un empleo que marque una diferencia? ¿Estás perdiendo la esperanza de llegar alguna vez adonde quieres ir? En Hacedor de caminos, Ann nos anima a no abandonar la esperanza, sino a aferrarnos a ella, porque tenemos un Dios que abrirá un camino donde no lo hay. Combinando la historia de Moisés y los israelitas en el camino al mar Rojo con su historia increíble de haber adoptado a una niña china y haber albergado a una familia refugiada de Siria, Ann nos muestra cómo los fieles comienzan a caminar por su propia senda del mar Rojo, dando un paso a la vez. Así como Moisés estaba lleno de dudas sobre si podría terminar la tarea que el Señor le había encomendado, Ann se pregunta si alguna vez cumplirá el sueño de traer a casa a Shiloh, la bebé china con medio corazón, de quien se enamoró luego de ver su foto en un iPhone. ¿Cómo aprendemos a depositar nuestra confianza en el Dios viviente? Damos un paso SANTO a la vez, a medida que practicamos la quietud, la adoración, la confesión, la reflexión, la introspección y la doxología. Ann da un paso y luego otro, e incluso viaja a Irak invitada por un ministerio internacional. Allí descubre la verdad que su esposo, el granjero, le cuenta: «Estás más segura haciendo la voluntad de Dios allí, que fuera de su voluntad aquí». Y, al igual que Moisés, entiende después de cruzar milagrosamente el mar Rojo, que Dios a veces nos llama a esperar «en el desierto» para hacer una obra más profunda dentro de nosotros. Hacedor de caminos nos está llevando hacia adelante en esa espera. Hacedor de caminos está edificando nuestro carácter. Y frente a toda imposibilidad, pero gracias a Aquel que abre caminos, los israelitas cruzan el Jordán, y Ann no solo lleva a Shiloh a su tierra prometida, sino que también la familia de refugiados sirios que ella apadrina viene a vivir a su pequeña ciudad canadiense. A través de todo esto, ella descubre que el Hacedor de senderos siempre abrirá un camino, no hacia donde creemos que queremos ir, sino un sendero que nos conduce a Él. Y nosotros también descubrimos que, más que abrirnos paso, lo que verdaderamente desea nuestra alma es a el Hacedor de caminos. The Way Maker Does it sometimes seem impossible to get where you want to go? Are you single and want to be married? Are you barren and want to have children? Are you in a dead-end job and long for work that makes a difference in the world? Are you losing hope that you will ever get where you want to go? In The Way Maker Ann encourages us not to pack up hope, but to hold on to hope, because we have a God who will make a way, where there is no way. Weaving the story of Moses and the Israelites on the road to the Red Sea with her own unlikely story of adopting both a little girl from China and a refugee family from Syria, Ann shows how the faithful start walking their own Red Sea road by taking just one step.

How is God even here? “It is in the dark that God is passing by . . . our lives shake not because God has abandoned but the exact opposite. God is passing by. God is in the tremors. Dark is the holiest ground, the glory passing by. In the blackest, God is closest, at work, forging His perfect and right will. Though it is black and we can’t see and our world seems to be free-falling and we feel utterly alone, Christ is most present to us...” In One Thousand Gifts, Ann Voskamp invites you to discover a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of living that is fully alive, and a way of becoming present to God that brings deep and lasting joy. It''s only in the expression of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we''ve always wanted . . . a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others.

Does it sometimes seem impossible to get where you want to go? Are you losing hope and wondering if there will ever be a way? In this video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), Ann Voskamp encourages us to hold on to hope, because we have a God who will make a way, where there seems to be no way. Weaving the story of Moses and the Israelites on the road to the Red Sea with her own unlikely story of adopting both a little girl from China and a refugee family from Syria, Ann shows how the faithful start walking their own Red Sea road by taking just one step. We take one SACRED step at a time as we practice stillness, adoration, confession, reflection, examination, and doxology. As Moses discovers after miraculously crossing the Red Sea, God sometimes calls us to wait "in the wilderness" in order to do a deeper work in us. The WayMaker is moving us forward in the waiting. The WayMaker is building our character. Ann teaches us that the WayMaker will always make a way, not to where we think we want to go, but a way to Him. We discover that more than a way through our circumstance, we desire the WayMaker himself. Designed for use with the WayMaker Video Study (sold separately).

Using her own personal story of adopting a Chinese daughter and sponsoring a refugee family, New York Times bestselling author Ann Voskamp shows in The Way Maker how God will always make a way, not to where we may want to go, but to Him.

Te afli la o rascruce de drumuri in fiecare zi – si trebuie sa apuci de fiecare data pe drumul cel bun. Dar care este calea care te duce inspre implinirea menirii tale? De unde stii ca drumul pe care ai pornit iti va aduce vindecare? Calea pe care te afli va ajuta inima ta franta sa-si gaseasca intregirea? Oare chiar poti sa apuci pe orice drum? Frangerea este adevarata plinatate. Din cea mai mare zdrobire poti experimenta cel mai deplin apropierea de Dumnezeu. Acest lucru pare imposibil – improbabil. Si totusi, aceasta este calea neclintita a lui Dumnezeu. Inmultirea se naste din zdrobire. Suma ei este o viata abundenta.

What do you do when you wake up and feel like you''re not enough for your life? Or when you look out the kitchen window as dusk falls and wonder how do you live when life keeps breaking your heart? As Ann Voskamp writes, “great grief isn''t meant to fit inside your body. It''s why your heart breaks.” And each of us holds enough brokenness to overflow—to be given as the greatest story of our lives. In sixty vulnerably soulful stories, The Way of Abundance moves from self-weary brokenness to Christ-focused givenness. Drawing from the critically acclaimed, New York Times bestseller The Broken Way and Ann''s online essays, this devotional dares us to embrace brokenness as a gift that moves us to givenness as a way to draw closer to the heart of God. Christ Himself broke like bread, giving Himself to us so we might have a lifelong communion with Him. Could it be that our brokenness is also a gift to the world? This gentle but exquisitely profound book does nothing less than take you on an intimate journey of the soul. As Ann writes, "The wound in His side proves that Jesus is always on the side of the suffering, the wounded, the busted, the broken." Discover how surrendering in unexpected ways is the first step toward receiving what you long for. Discover the good news that your beauty is not in your strength but in your fragility. Discover why your healing shines radiant through your wounds—and how only in brokenness will you ever be whole—and find the way to the abundance you were meant for.
