En este libro, la tan esperada secuela de Un millar de obsequios, la autora aclamada Ann Voskamp presenta el evangelio como un nuevo camino para cristianos en necesidad de una revelación renovada de la gracia de Dios. No importa cuán roto o lleno de pecado estés. Con más de un millón de ejemplares vendidos en inglés, Un millar de obsequios por Ann Voskamp ha sido un fenómeno editorial. En esta esperada secuela, Ann, una vez más, comparte su don con el mundo. En su interior, Voskamp desesperadamente quiere que los lectores sepan que Dios es atraído a las personas quebrantadas, a los pecadores y a aquellos en necesidad. Las mismas cosas de las cuales las personas más se averguenzan, un pecado desgarrador que ha asediado durante años, una decepción que roe como el hambre que no desaparece, una oscuridad deprimente que la luz no parece penetrar, son exactamente las cosas que atrajeron a Dios a su pueblo. Este libro es sencillo en presentación, escrito en el estilo único de Ann, pero profundo en sus consecuencias para los lectores. Un nuevo camino para cristianos en desesperada necesidad de una nueva revelación de la gracia de Dios. Ann lo dice mejor: «Estoy destrozada, llena de pecado, y perfectamente equipada para escribir un libro como este. Dios toma las cosas rotas, las redime, y las hace útiles en su reino. Siempre a su manera. No hay un mensaje más esencial para nuestro tiempo o ningún otro».

Broken comes in all ways and all sizes. Over all of our broken chaos there''s Jesus hanging on the cross, Jesus agonizing over all our brokenness, Jesus bleeding here in our mess. Our brokenness is made whole by His brokenness.

A New York Times bestseller! Brokenness doesn''t only find us in the big things—things like illness, hardship, or grief. It can find you in the everyday. Learn to walk in a way that glorifies Jesus and receive freedom, not beyond your fear and pain, but within it. We are fragile and we know it. Sometimes, living with Christ in a messed-up world feels less like victory and more like walking uphill. Ann Voskamp, the New York Times bestselling author of One Thousand Gifts, sits at the edge of her life and her own unspoken brokenness and asks: What if you really want to live abundantly before it''s too late? What do you do if you really want to know abundant wholeness? This one''s for the lovers and the sufferers. This one''s for the busted ones who are ready to bust free, the ones ready to break molds, break chains, break measuring sticks, and break all this bad brokenness with an unlikely good brokenness. You could be one of the Beloved who is broken—and still lets yourself be loved. Ann desperately wants you to know: God is attracted to the broken, the sin-sick, and those in need The very things people are most ashamed of are the exact broken things that draw God to his people You can live in the face of your unspoken pain You can discover and trust this broken way—the way to not be afraid of broken things The Broken Way is simple in presentation, written in Ann’s unique style—a new way for desperate Christians in need of a fresh revelation of the grace of God. This ebook includes the full text of the book plus an exclusive section of beautiful photos paired with powerful passages from the text that is not found in the hardcover.

Há uma promessa divina que aponta para a possibilidade de vivermos uma vida abundante. E é essa vida plena, que satisfaz os desejos mais íntimos do coração, que cristãos e não cristãos vêm buscando nos últimos dois mil anos. Mas, se temos a promessa, por que parece que estamos cada dia mais distantes de experimentar essa plenitude? Por que deixamos de agradecer com tanta frequência? Por que somos incapazes de reservar um tempo para nós, de abrir espaço em meio à correria, às dívidas, às doenças e ao congestionamento nosso de cada dia e, assim, encontrar contentamento? Ann Voskamp, cuja infância foi marcada por uma terrível tragédia familiar, podia ter enveredado por um caminho que levasse a tudo menos ao agradecimento; a tudo menos à celebração da vida. No entanto, por mais paradoxal que possa parecer, ela encontrou mil razões para agradecer ao Criador. Com rara beleza poética, "Vida simples, vida plena" redescobre a força sobrenatural que existe no ato de agradecer e nos abre os olhos para a importância de aprender a ver, a sentir e a valorizar as pequenas e as grandes realizações, e a perceber que aí residem a plenitude e o verdadeiro contentamento. "Vida simples, vida plena" nos convida a reconhecer, diariamente, as incontáveis bênçãos de Deus. Independentemente das muitas tragédias pelas quais teve de passar, Ann Voskamp encontrou o contentamento ao aprender a agradecer a Deus e a reconhecer sua mão bondosa nos detalhes mais simples e talvez mais corriqueiros da vida. Descubra o método simples e eficaz que se tornou uma disciplina espiritual transformadora e uma nova maneira de viver e encarar os reveses da vida. "Vida simples, vida plena" nos leva a redescobrir a importância de buscar e manter uma intensa intimidade com Deus. Ann Voskamp é esposa de agricultor, uma carinhosa mãe de seis lindas crianças e uma blogueira muito ativa (www.aholyexperience.com). Trata-se de uma autora surpreendente.

In everything, give thanks. How do those four words strike you? Naïve? Infuriating? Impossible? Offensive? For Ann Voskamp, the notion of being able to give thanks was lost between her gnawing anger and deep resentment toward God for his unfair dealings in her life and the lives of others. Having suffered from agoraphobia and anxiety for much of her life, she despaired of finding a joy of her own. Then a friend dared her to write a list of a thousand blessings. Over the months that followed, she made some profound discoveries: How it''s possible to give thanks even for the things that might crush you How thanksgiving always precedes the miracle How to slow down and live fully in the moment How things that feel like trouble might actually be gifts of grace How to break the bondage of fear by embracing everyday blessings How trust is the bridge over tumultuous waters that leads to joy How to turn your blessing into being a blessing to others In this video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), Ann encourages us to take on the life-changing discipline of journaling God''s gifts—to discover a way of seeing that opens our 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 this expression of gratitude for the life we already have, that we discover the life we''ve always wanted…a life we can take, give thanks for, and use to serve others. In it, we come to feel and know the impossible right down to our core: that we are wildly loved by God. Sessions include: Attitude of Gratitude Grace in the Moment All Is Grace Trust: The Bridge to Joy Empty to Fill Designed for use with the One Thousand Gifts Video Study (9780310684398), sold separately.
