In un mondo dove si pratica l''aborto, l''omosessualità, la pornografia, il razzismo, la prostituzione l''Evangelo è la vera controcultura. Abbiamo bisogno di stimoli energici, come quelli che possiamo ritrovare in queste pagine, per tornare a essere, con decisione, degli "esecutori della Parola". La Parola di Dio, infatti, muove la volontà umana e spinge ad una condotta operosa, la nostra fede diventa credibile nelle nostre realizzazioni.

The earliest Christians had the privilege of bearing the name of Jesus Christ to enemies of the gospel. They were residents of the Roman Republic, but also citizens of heaven. They were persecuted for their faith, but were unashamed of the gospel. They knew him whom they believed and were persuaded he was able to deliver them from evil. Fast-forward twenty centuries. Spiritual temperatures are again dropping. These citizens of heaven are now resident throughout the world, and are being granted the privilege of the early saints. As nations grow ever more hostile to Christ and his followers, Jesus summons those who bear his name to be unashamed. He is the only hope of salvation for all who repent and believe. In Unashamed of the Gospel, authors Matt Chandler, R. Albert Mohler Jr., John MacArthur, Thabiti Anyabwile, Mark Dever, Kevin DeYoung, J. Ligon Duncan III, John Piper, and David Platt come together for the gospel to encourage Christians with Paul''s pastoral plea to Timothy: "do not be ashamed about the testimony of our Lord" (2 Timothy 1:8).

Disrupted is a distillation of the wisdom of Resilient Futures'', Strategy in Action (SiA), a framework designed to support teams and leaders to leverage-rather than fall prey to- exponential, disruptive change. Readers are asked to question: What are the disruptors that will or may impact your organization, and, how will you leverage them?

Una llamada compasiva a la contracultura en un mundo de pobreza, matrimonios del mismo sexo, racismo, esclavitud sexual, inmigración, persecución, aborto, huérfanos, pornografía. Bienvenido al frente de batalla. A todo lugar al que nos dirigimos hoy en día, los frentes de batalla están puestos: el matrimonio tradicional contra el matrimonio homosexual, la pro-vida contra pro-elección, la libertad personal contra la protección gubernamental. De repente la cultura cambió al punto donde ya no se mide lo que está bien y lo que está mal con la verdad universal sino con la opinión popular. Las conversaciones difíciles sobre la homosexualidad, el aborto, y la libertad religiosa siguen infiltrándosen en nuestros trabajos, iglesias, escuelas y en nuestros hogares. Mientras tanto los cristianos en todas partes se hacen la misma pregunta: ¿Cómo se supone que tenemos que responder a todo esto? En Contracultura, el autor de éxito del New York Times, David Platt, muestra como los cristianos deben participar activamente en cuestiones como la pobreza, la explotación sexual, el matrimonio, el aborto, el racismo y la libertad religiosa y desafía a todos a ser voces apasionadas y constantes para Cristo. El frente de batalla ya está puesto y ha llegado la hora en que los cristianos se levanten para entregar un mensaje del evangelio que es más radical incluso, que los temas más polémicos de la actualidad. A compassionate call to counter culture in a world of poverty, same-sex marriage, racism, sex slavery, immigration, abortion, persecution, orphans, and pornography. Welcome to the front lines. Everywhere we turn, battle lines are being drawn—traditional marriage vs. gay marriage, pro-life vs. pro-choice, personal freedom vs. governmental protection. Seemingly overnight, culture has shifted to the point where right and wrong are no longer measured by universal truth but by popular opinion. And as difficult conversations about homosexuality, abortion, and religious liberty continue to inject themselves into our workplaces, our churches, our schools, and our homes, Christians everywhere are asking the same question: How are we supposed to respond to all this? In Counter Culture, New York Times bestselling author David Platt shows Christians how to actively take a stand on such issues as poverty, sex trafficking, marriage, abortion, racism, and religious liberty and challenges all to become passionate, unwavering voices for Christ. The lines have been drawn. The moment has come for Christians to rise up and deliver a gospel message that’s more radical than even the most controversial issues of our day.

See how the gospel compels followers of Christ to counter culture on a wide variety of social issues in the world around them.

We are pleased to present this Global Edition, which has been developed specifically to acquaint students of business with the fundamental tools of managerial accounting and to promote their understanding of the dramatic ways in which business is changing. The emphasis is on teaching students to use accounting information to best manage an organization. Each chapter is written around a realistic business or focus company that guides the reader through the topics of that chapter. There is significant coverage of contemporary topics such as activity-based costing, target costing, the value chain, customer profitability analysis, and throughput costing while also including traditional topics such as job-order costing, budgeting, and performance evaluation. Many of the real-world examples in the Management Accounting Practice boxes have been revised and updated to make them more current and several new examples have been added. This Global Edition has been adapted to meet the needs of courses outside the United States and does not align with the instructor and student resources available with the U.S. edition.

Kristne i Vesten har lett for å glemme hva Jesus sa om hvordan hans etterfølgere skal leve. Men Jesu tale var klar. Hva vil det si i praksis å være hans disippel? For evangeliets skyld må Jesu etterfølgere oppgi alt – sikkerhet, penger, bekvemmelighet. Og hver dag må de bære sitt kors. Men kjenner du noen som kunne levd på den måten? Kunne du gjort det? DAVID PLATT er pastor i Church at Brook Hills, Alabama, i USA, en menighet med fire tusen medlemmer. Han har to bachelorgrader fra University of Georgia og tre høyere grader fra New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, blant dem en doktorgrad i filosofi.

Vandag dink baie mense om kerk toe te gaan, armes te help en die regte dinge te sê, maak van jou ʼn Christen. NEW YORK TIMES-topverkoper-outeur David Platt waarsku ons in VOLG MY! dat al hierdie “goeie dade” tevergeefs is as ons dit nie sáám met Jesus doen nie. Wat het Jesus bedoel toe Hy gesê het: “Volg My!”? Om waarlik ’n volgeling van Jesus te wees, beteken om ’n verhouding met Hom te hê en elke dag, daar waar jy is, God se koninkryk uit te bou. VOLG MY! kyk na die Bybelse beeld van wat dit beteken om ’n Christen te wees, wat ons in hierdie lewe moet opoffer, maar ook die onbeskryflike vreugde en vrede wat daaruit vloei om werklik sáám met Jesus die pad te stap.

You may think you are a Christian—but are you sure? Jesus’ call to follow him is more than an invitation to pray a prayer. It is a summons to lose your life and find new life and ultimate joy in him. In David Platt’s book Follow Me: A Call to Die. A Call to Live he asks the question, “What did Jesus really mean when he said, ‘Follow me’?” What if we really listened to Jesus’ words and heard what he is saying? When people truly engage with Jesus’ personal invitation to follow him, everything changes, for he is worthy of all our trust and affections. What Did Jesus Really Mean When He Said Follow Me? builds on the message of Follow Me to motivate readers to experience our grand purpose: to exalt the glory of God by spreading Christ’s gospel—to make disciples who are making disciples. This booklet is a great resource to share with others to discuss crucial faith questions in a personal and grace-filled manner and engage others to be disciple-makers in obedience to Jesus. Ideal for small groups or personal and mass evangelism, this pamphlet covers: The issue of sin The role of the church in a Christian’s transformation The importance of spreading the gospel and making new disciples David Platt, author of Radical and Counter Culture, helps you examine your life according to the biblical standard and discover what it truly means to live for Christ.

Um convite imediato. Uma decisão eterna. É fácil encontrar gente que se diz cristã. É igualmente fácil encontrar quem frequente alguma igreja. Mas até que ponto vai, de fato, o compromisso com Deus? Quem está disposto a enfrentar o desafio do Evangelho e levar uma vida semelhante à de Jesus? Afinal, aceitar o convite do Mestre — "Siga-me!" — não significa apenas a certeza de salvação; implica também a missão de carregar a própria cruz. Em Siga-me, David Platt (uma das mais destacadas lideranças cristãs da nova geração nos Estados Unidos) defende que a magnitude do chamado de Jesus só é ignorada por quem alimenta uma religiosidade superficial. É preciso abandonar o próprio ser para viver em Cristo e para Cristo. Este livro é um convite à jornada rumo à vida eterna daqueles que, por conhecê-lo verdadeiramente, vivem como discípulos e dedicam-se a proclamar o Reino.

A short-term, video-enhanced Bible study for all youth by David Platt.

2014 “Christian Retailing’s Best” award finalist! What did Jesus really mean when he said, “Follow Me”? In this new book, David Platt, author of the New York Times bestselling book, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, contends that multitudes of people around the world culturally think they are Christians yet biblically are not followers of Christ. Scores of men, women, and children have been told that becoming a follower of Jesus simply involves believing certain truths or saying certain words. As a result, churches today are filled with people who believe they are Christians . . . but aren’t. We want to be disciples as long as doing so does not intrude on our lifestyles, our preferences, our comforts, and even our religion. Revealing a biblical picture of what it means to truly be a Christian, Follow Me explores the gravity of what we must forsake in this world, as well as the indescribable joy and deep satisfaction to be found when we live for Christ. The call to follow Jesus is not simply an invitation to pray a prayer; it’s a summons to lose your life—and to find new life in him. This book will show you what such life actually looks like.
