New Releases by Eric Metaxas

Christianity is not about rituals but changed hearts. In the prophetic tradition of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Eric Metaxas calls slumbering Christians to battle. Picking up where he left off in his electrifying Letter to the American Church, Eric Metaxas renews and deepens his call to believers not to “practice” their faith but to live it—heroically and with joy. Invoking famous but misunderstood words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, he shows that God’s answer to evil is “religionless Christianity”—the rejection of religiosity and the embrace of a living and active faith, one that consumes the whole person and affects every aspect of his life. The awakening of this faith will bring revival, a “new birth of freedom” and a renaissance of Christian culture.

The Letter to the American Church Study Guide serves as a companion workbook to the bestselling book by Eric Metaxas. In his thought-provoking work, Metaxas draws striking parallels between the failure of the German Church in the 1930s to oppose tyranny and injustice, urging the American Church to take action. However, answering this call to action may require venturing into unfamiliar terrain. To assist readers in taking their first steps, this study guide offers daily reflection questions and weekly discussion groups, facilitating engagement with the material. Each chapter summary provides a condensed overview, enhanced by a convenient word bank featuring key terms and concepts. Moreover, the guide concludes with a guided prayer for each chapter, inviting readers to humbly seek the Holy Spirit''s guidance.

Martin Luther 2. George Whitefield 3. George Washington Carver 4. Generalul William Booth 5. Sergentul Alvin York 6. Alexandr Soljenitin 7. Billy Graham Despre autor Eric Metaxas este autorul multipremiat al New York Times, pentru cartile sale Miracles, Bonhoeffer, Seven Men, Amazing Grace si peste treizeci de alte carti. El este gazda emisiunii Eric Metaxas Show, un program radio national care se difuzeaza in mai bine de 120 de orase din SUA. ABC News l-a numit pe Metaxas „un ambasador fotogenic si inteligent al credintei“. El a fost vorbitorul principal la Micul Dejun cu Rugaciune din 2012 in Washington, DC, si in fiecare an se adreseaza in conferinte si prelegeri la zeci de mii de ascultatori din Statele Unite si din strainatate. In prezent, activeaza ca lector la King’s College in New York City, unde traieste impreuna cu sotia si fiica lui.

In an earnest and searing wake-up call, the author of the bestseller Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy warns of the haunting similarities between today’s American church and the German church of the 1930s. Echoing Bonhoeffer’s prophetic call, Eric Metaxas exhorts his fellow Christians to repent of their silence in the face of evil before it is too late.

Is Atheism Dead? is an entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 TIME cover that itself provocatively asked “Is God Dead?” In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas intentionally echoes C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his astonishing case, along the way presenting breathtaking—and often withering—new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe. Taken all together, he shows atheism not merely to be implausible and intellectually sloppy, but now demonstrably ridiculous. Perhaps the only unanswered question on the subject is why we couldn’t see this sooner, and how embarrassed we should be about it.

Eroii au fost intotdeauna extrem de importanti - esentiali pentru a ne inspira viata. In ultimele cateva decenii, nevoia de modele de oameni curajosi si integri, este mai vitala ca niciodata. Eric Metaxas prezinta sapte portrete ale unor barbati crestini cunoscuti pe scara larga - George Washington, William Wiberforce, Eric Liddell, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jackie Robinson, Ioan Paul al II-lea si Charles Colson - fiecare dintre ei intruchipand in mod unic adevarul Evangheliei, subliniind calitati comune tuturor: curajul de a se dedica unui scop superior si dorinta de a oferi ceva valoros pentru binele altora. Sapte barbati subliniaza cu mult rafinament ce inseamna ( sau ar trebui sa insemne) sa fii barbat astazi, intr-o lume in care mass-media si cultura populara promoveaza imagini ale masculinitatii contrare imaginii prezentate in Scriptura si in viata civila de-a lungul istoriei. Fiecare dintre cei sapte barbati prezentati a avut de infruntat nenumarate lupte si provocari, iar trairea lor invita cititorul la un stil de viata cu standarde mai ridicate, intruchipand Evanghelia in lumea din jur. In mod inevitabil inspirator, aceasta antologie ne aminteste ca anumite calitati sunt demne de emulat. Familiarizarea cu acesti sapte eroi nu se poate sa nu-ti faca viata imens mai bogata! Eric Metaxas este decan si conferentiar la King''s College in New York City. Este, de asemenea, fondatorul si gazda unei emisiuni cu discutii antrenante si documentate despre "viata, Dumnezeu si alte subiecte marunte". Participa la dezbateri in cadrul Union Oxford si tine prelegeri peste tot in lume pe o multime de subiecte. Este adesea invitat in calitate de comentator cultural la CNN si Fox News Channel. Locuieste cu familia lui in Manhattan.

What Happens When One of America’s Most Admired Biographers Writes His Own Biography? For Eric Metaxas, the answer is Fish Out of Water: A Search for the Meaning of Life—a poetic and sometimes hilarious memoir of his early years, in which the Queens-born son of Greek and German immigrants struggles to make sense of a world in which he never quite seems to fit. Renowned for his biographies of William Wilberforce, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Martin Luther, Metaxas is the author of five New York Times bestsellers, the witty host of the acclaimed Socrates in the City conversation series, and a nationally syndicated radio personality. But here he reveals a personal story few have heard, taking us from his mostly happy childhood—and riotous triumphs at Yale—to the nightmare of drifting toward a dark abyss of meaninglessness from which he barely escapes. Along the way he introduces us to an unforgettable troupe of picaresque characters who join this quintessentially first-generation American boy in what is both bildungsroman and odyssey—and which underscores just how funny, serious, happy, sad, and ultimately meaningful life can be.

After Donald the Caveman drained the Swamp and built the Wall, everyone was happy! Everyone, that is, except the freedom-haters who called themselves “The Resistance.” Led by an evil sorceress named Madame Miss Speaker, the Resistance tried to contradict everything Donald said to make him seem like a bad leader. These troublemakers even used Fake News to spread the rumor that Donald was working for the Russians! But Donald was not discouraged—he knew just what to do. He fought back with the truth. And the truth will always defeat Fake News. THE TRUTH WILL ALWAYS WIN OUT OVER FAKE NEWS!!! Written by national #1 bestselling author and humorist Eric Metaxas and illustrated by award winning artist Tim Raglin, Donald and the Fake News continues the brilliant political parable that began with Donald Drains the Swamp and Donald Builds the Wall.

In this sequel to the enormously successful Seven Men, #1 New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas offers more captivating stories of some of the most inspiring men in history. Join Metaxas as he shares about the lives of seven more men who faced insurmountable struggles and challenges with victorious resolve. Heroes and role models have always been essential for inspiring our lives and shaping the world. But in the last few decades, the need for men of valor and integrity is more vital than ever. Metaxas restores a sense of the heroic in the compelling profiles of seven extraordinary men: Martin Luther George Whitefield General William Booth George Washington Carver Sergeant Alvin York Alexander Solzhenitsyn Billy Graham Becoming acquainted with these seven heroes cannot fail to make your life immeasurably richer. Each man demonstrates particular qualities: the courage to surrender themselves to a higher purpose and the willingness to give away something dear to them for the good of others. With vitality and warmth, Metaxas draws electrifying insights for our daily lives from the inexhaustible richness of history. Inevitably inspiring, this anthology reminds us that certain qualities are worthy of emulation--now more than ever. Praise for Seven More Men: "God often uses nobodies from nowhere with nothing to offer but hearts fully surrendered to him and uses them to change the world. Metaxas once again magically and masterfully illustrates God''s guiding hand in the lives of seemingly ordinary men to produce great men who use their gifts and opportunities to bring glory to God and to serve others. This book will deeply inspire you to diligently serve God with all your heart, no matter your life''s current circumstances, knowing that he knows the plans he has for you." --Kirk Cameron, actor and producer "Great biographers do more than relay the facts of history; they acquaint us with its authors and inspire us to emulate them. In Seven More Men, Eric Metaxas uses seven short biographies and five hundred years as thread and canvas to produce a magnificent tapestry to not only inform your mind but inspire your heart. These unvarnished stories of faithful endurance, unwavering hope, and costly love are a must-read for our generation." --Christopher Yuan, speaker, Bible professor, and coauthor of Out of a Far Country

Two beloved Metaxas classics in a single, compact edition. In this new, one-volume edition that brings together two of his most popular works, #1 New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas explores the question of what makes a great person great? Seven Men and Seven Women tells the captivating stories of fourteen heroic individuals who changed the course of history and shaped the world in astonishing ways. George Washington led his country to independence yet resisted the temptation to become America''s king. William Wilberforce led the fight to end the slave trade, giving up his chance to be England''s prime minister. Susanna Wesley, the mother of nineteen children, gave the world its most significant evangelist and its greatest hymn-writer, her sons John and Charles. Jackie Robison endured the threats and abuse of racists with unimaginable dignity and strength. Corrie ten Boom risked her life to hide Dutch Jews from the Nazis in World War II and survived the horrors of a concentration camp--and forgave her tormentors years later. And Rosa Parks''s God-given sense of justice and unshakable dignity helped launch the twentieth century’s greatest social movement. These and other lives profiled in Seven Men and Seven Women reveal how reveal the secret to a life of greatness--by responding to call to live for something greater than oneself.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas delivers an extraordinary book that is part history and part rousing call to arms, steeped in a critical analysis of our founding fathers'' original intentions for America. In 1787, when the Constitution was drafted, a woman asked Ben Franklin what the founders had given the American people. "A republic," he shot back, "if you can keep it." More than two centuries later, Metaxas examines what that means and how we are doing on that score. If You Can Keep It is at once a thrilling review of America''s uniqueness—including our role as a "nation of nations"—and a chilling reminder that America''s greatness cannot continue unless we embrace our own crucial role in living out what the founders entrusted to us. Metaxas explains that America is not a nation bounded by ethnic identity or geography, but rather by a radical and unprecedented idea, based on liberty and freedom for all. He cautions us that it''s nearly past time we reconnect to that idea, or we may lose the very foundation of what made us exceptional in the first place.

Cine s-ar fi putut impotrivi mai ferm celui mai mare rau al secolului XX decat un adevarat barbat al credintei? In vremea in care Adolf Hitler si nazistii reuseau sa amageasca o natiune, sa brutalizeze un continent in incercarea de a-i extermina pe evreii din Europa, o mana de dizidenti si diversionisti au cooperat pentru a distruge din interior regimul celui de-al Treilea Reich.

The #1 bestselling author of Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther explores miracles in an inspiring response to the “New Atheists” Not since C. S. Lewis in 1947 has an author of Eric Metaxas’s stature undertaken a major exploration of the phenomenon of miracles. In this groundbreaking work, Metaxas examines the compatibility between faith and science and provides well-documented anecdotal evidence of actual miracles. With compelling—sometimes electrifying—evidence that there is something real to be reckoned with, Metaxas offers a timely, civil, and thoughtful answer to recent books by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris. Already a New York Times bestseller, Miracles will be welcomed by both believers and skeptics—who will find their minds opening to the possibilities.

In his eagerly anticipated follow-up to the enormously successful Seven Men, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas gives us seven captivating portraits of some of history’s greatest women, each of whom changed the course of history by following God’s call upon their lives—as women. Each of the world-changing figures who stride across these pages—Joan of Arc, Susanna Wesley, Hannah More, Maria Skobtsova, Corrie ten Boom, Mother Teresa, and Rosa Parks—is an exemplary model of true womanhood. Teenaged Joan of Arc followed God’s call and liberated her country, dying a heroic martyr’s death. Susanna Wesley had nineteen children and gave the world its most significant evangelist and its greatest hymn-writer, her sons John and Charles. Corrie ten Boom, arrested for hiding Dutch Jews from the Nazis, survived the horrors of a concentration camp to astonish the world by forgiving her tormentors. And Rosa Parks’ deep sense of justice and unshakeable dignity and faith helped launch the twentieth-century’s greatest social movement. Writing in his trademark conversational and engaging style, Eric Metaxas reveals how the other extraordinary women in this book achieved their greatness, inspiring readers to lives shaped by the truth of the gospel.

In his earlier book, Eric Metaxas tackled the questions people had always wanted to ask about God. His book was well-received, but Metaxas soon realized there was a long list of questions that still needed to be addressed. In Everything Else You Always Wanted to Know about God…, the author answers the rest–and some of the very best–of the questions that surface when God is the topic of conversation. Metaxas’ s welcoming tone and his skillful use of humor lower readers’ defenses. He presents biblical truth in the form of engaging answers that can’t help but connect, whether the reader is an inquisitive skeptic, an open-minded agnostic, or even a new believer looking to get grounded in the basics of the Christian faith. No matter who is asking the questions, this sequel delivers the goods with disarming candor and biblical authority.

"Czy racjonalny człowiek może wierzyć w cuda? Dlaczego łatwiej nam jest uwierzyć świadkowi morderstwa niż świadkowi cudu? Eric Metaxas, szanowany amerykański dziennikarz i pisarz, doświadczył w swoim życiu prawdziwego cudu. Wiedział jednak, że ludziom trudno będzie w to uwierzyć. Dlatego podjął się nie lada zadania: postanowił zebrać świadectwa innych osób: piękne i wzruszające historie nawróceń, uzdrowień i zdumiewających opowieści o życiu po śmierci. W swojej książce dowodzi, że poznanie rozumowe to nie wszystko, co jest nam dane, że istnieje coś więcej poza kosmosem. „Cuda nie są sprzeczne z naturą. Są jedynie sprzeczne z tym, co wiemy o naturze”. święty Augustyn"

Peu nombreux ont été les opposants si exposés à la montée du nazisme en Allemagne. Dietrich Bonhoeffer fut l''un deux. Engagé activement dans la Résistance en tant que citoyen allemand, théologien chrétien et agent secret, il ira jusqu''à prendre part au complot de l''opération Valkyrie, attentat contre Hitler, qui se soldera par un échec. Il sera exécuté au camp de Flossenbürg, 23 jours avant la capitulation de l''Allemagne nazie. Unanimement reconnu comme martyr et héros, le pasteur Dietrich Bonhoeffer laissera des écrits d''une pré-science et d''une valeur rarement égalées, comme son chef-d''oeuvre Vivre en disciple : Le Prix de la Grâce. Son désir profond d''unité et d''une Eglise fidèle à l''essence de l''Evangile fera de lui un ferment solide de l''Eglise Confessante allemande et de l''oecuménisme, notamment au travers de ses relations avec les Eglises évangéliques et anglicane. Eric Metaxas a su réaliser une biographie extrêmement précise et complète sur Bonhoeffer. D''abord parce qu''il a su aborder et retransmettre avec brio toutes les dimensions du personnage : spiritualité, réflexions théologiques et philosophiques, cheminement personnel, engagement dans la Résistance, combats pour la sauvegarde d''une Eglise centrée sur le Christ, etc. mais également grâce au travail minutieux réalisé à partir de précieux documents d''archives, pour certains jamais exploités jusqu''ici.

En Siete Hombres, Eric Metaxas, uno de los autores más leídos del New York Times, presenta siete retratos cortos exquisitamente elaborados sobre hombres cristianos ampliamente conocidos —aunque no del todo comprendidos—, cada uno de los cuales demuestra de forma singular su compromiso de vivir, bajo determinadas virtudes, en la verdad del evangelio. Escrito en un hermoso y cautivador estilo, 7 Hombres aborda lo que significa (o debería significar) ser un hombre en la actualidad, en donde los medios y la cultura popular nos muestran imágenes de masculinidad diferentes a las que observamos en las Escrituras y en la vida civil histórica. ¿Qué significa realmente ser un modelo ejemplar como padre, hermano, esposo, líder, instructor, consejero, agente de cambio y hombre sabio? ¿Qué significa ser símbolo de honestidad, coraje y caridad, especialmente cuando la cultura y el mundo van en contra de esos valores? Cada una de las siete biografías representa la vida de un hombre que luchó y afrontó desafíos, haciéndose fuerte ante circunstancias que hubieran acabado con la determinación de cualquier otro hombre. Los siete personajes reseñados —George Washington, William Wilberforce, Eric Liddell, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jackie Robinson, Juan Pablo II y Charles Colson— invitan al lector a seguir un camino y un estilo de vida superior, uno que sea reflejo del evangelio en el mundo que nos rodea.

As comforting as a soft blanket and warm as a goodnight hug, Eric Metaxas''s lullaby It''s Time to Sleep, My Love is delightfully brought to life by bestselling artist Nancy Tillman (On the Night You Were Born), whose illustrations celebrate the wonders of the natural world, and the bonds of family. It''s time to sleep, it''s time to sleep, the fishes croon in waters deep. The songbirds sing in trees above, "It''s time to sleep, my love, my love." As children prepare for bed, the world around them is also settling down for the night. Animals who live in the jungle, the forest, the sea—all whisper to their babies a soft refrain: It''s time to sleep, my love. It''s Time to Sleep, My Love is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children''s Book of the Year.
