New Releases by John Eldredge

In his book Waking the Dead, best-selling author John Eldredge reveals that things are not what they seem; this is a world at war; and you have a crucial role to play. In this guidebook, Eldredge takes you even deeper into the hidden meanings of this world-giving you the courage to rise up and reclaim your heart as you fight for the hearts and souls of others. Packed with questions, stories, and discussion topics, you''ll discover the glory of a heart fully alive through features such as: Big Ideas-thought-provoking concepts that will challenge you to grow daily and excel as a cherished child of God; Mythic Parables-classic stories from Scripture as well as fairy tales, old and new; and Heart Monitors-barometers for evaluating your own feelings, struggles, and passions. No matter what you''ve known so far, Eldredge insists, "There is more available with God. There is so much more."

Dios diseñó al hombre para arriesgarse, dice John Eldredge. Si no, mire los sueños y anhelos escritos en el corazón de todo muchacho: Ser héroe, ser guerrero, vivir una vida de aventura y riesgo. Tristemente, la mayoría abandona esos sueños y anhelos… con la ayuda de un cristianismo que al parecer solo lo presiona a ser «un buen chico». No en balde muchos hombres evitan la iglesia, y los que no a menudo son pasivos y en extremo aburridos. En este provocativo libro, Eldredge ofrece a las mujeres una mirada al verdadero corazón del hombre, y permite a los hombres ser lo que Dios quiso que fueran al diseñarlos: arriesgados, apasionados, vivos y libres.

To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a ''nice guy.'' God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be--dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

Fierce. Dangerous. Wild. John Eldredge''s bestselling book Wild at Heart (over 500,000 copies in print) has already launched thousands of men on a phenomenal life-changing adventure with God. Now, his new multi-media Wild at Heart video series will be the catalyst study groups will want to use to help men discover how God defines authentic masculinity. In this eight-part series, men are invited to join John and his band of brothers as they embark on a journey to discover how God can heal wounded hearts and put a spirit of adventure back in the life of any man. This engaging video series includes: Part One: The Heart of a Man Part Two: The Poser and the Question Part Three: The Wound Part Four: Healing the Wound Part Five: A Battle to Fight Part Six: An Adventure to Live Part Seven: A Beauty to Rescue Part Eight: A Band of Brothers The Wild at Heart Multi-Media Facilitator''s Kit includes John''s bestselling Wild At Heart hardcover book; the Wild at Heart Field Manual; the Wild at Heart Facilitator''s Guide; the video teaching series of eight parts, available either in VHS or DVD format; and the media kit (two 17" X 22"posters, a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" bulletin insert, an 8 1/2" X 11" ad slick, and an information letter.)

In his book Wild at Heart, author John Eldredge thrust a generation of men, young and old, toward a journey to recover true masculinity?the soul of a man as God designed him. If you''ve already begun the journey, you know how thrilling?and hard?it can be. So you may have longed for a tool to maximize the impact, a guide to show the way. Packed with new information and insights, the Wild at Heart Field Manual guides you along "the road less traveled." Filled with probing questions, creative exercises, and space to record personal field notes, this companion volume is designed to transition you from reading about the wild heart to living from it. For too long, the call of Christianity to men has evoked no higher goal, ultimately, than becoming a "nice guy." No wonder many men are bored to tears with church. The hero instinct has been trained out of them. But Eldredge invites men to come alive again, to find their great battle, adventure, and beauty. If you dare . . . keep reading. Your life will never be the same.

Here is the perfect book for those ready to move beyond the daily grind to a life overflowing with adventure, beauty, and a God who loves us more passionately than we dared imagine. Far from promoting a "Carpe Diem" attitude adjustment, Dare to Desire is an invitation to a whole new life. But be warned - once you accept this invitation, you''ll never see your world the same again. With brand new content as well as concepts from his three best-selling books (Sacred Romance, Journey of Desire, and Wild at Heart), John Eldredge takes readers on a majestic journey through the uncharted waters of the human heart. Combining powerful quotes, stunning photography, and the encouragement of an experienced trail guide, John Eldredge shows readers how to draw closer to a God who seeks to grant us our deepest desires.

Explore une pensée inhabituelle pour les chrétiens : le risque de désirer trop peu. Donne des conseils pour recouvrer ses désirs authentiques et vivre pleinement et librement la vie pour laquelle l''homme a été créé. Il s''agit d''abord d''apprendre à décoder nos désirs, puis d''oser les accepter et enfin de les formuler avec les mots adéquats.

Find the peace, purpose, and connection you crave by slowing down, asking questions, and deepening your relationship with God or discovering it for the first time. We have lost touch with our hearts. In the pursuit of efficiency, success, and the busyness of our lives we have only been left with emptiness and longing. If you''re feeling lost, disconnected, wounded, broken, or if your heart just aches for something more, you’ve come to the right place. In The Sacred Romance, bestselling authors John Eldredge and Brent Curtis invite you to join them as they explore the greatest love of our lives: a relationship with the God who pursues us. The Sacred Romance will guide you through the journey of getting to know yourself and your creator better, asking you: What is this restlessness and emptiness I feel, sometimes after years into my Christian journey? How will my spiritual life touch the rest of my life? What is it that is set so deeply in my heart, that will not leave me alone? When did I stop listening to God’s leading? The Sacred Romance is a journey of the heart. It is a journey full of intimacy, adventure, and beauty that will guide you to your fondest memories, greatest loves, noblest achievements, and even deepest hurts. But the reward is worth the risk as you enter into God’s story and accept His invitation to experience His unfathomable love.

Sometimes it seems we just can''t get what we want. Circumstances thwart our best-laid plans. We struggle to live a heartfelt life. Worst of all, says Eldredge, the modern church mistakenly teaches its people to kill desire (calling it sin) and replace it with duty or obligation (calling it sanctification). As a result, at best Christians tend to live safe, boring lives of resignation. At worst, their desire eventually breaks out in destructive ways such as substance abuse, affairs, and pornography addictions. In The Journey of Desire, Eldredge invites readers to rediscover God-given desire and to search again for the life they once dreamed of.

Obiceiuri zilnice intr-o lume nebuna. Cand a fost ultima data cand te-ai simtit fara griji? Intrebarea pare aproape nedreapta. Vremurile sunt grele pentru fiecare dintre noi, sunt grele pentru intreaga omenire. Care este starea ta in ultima perioada? Esti fericit in majoritatea timpului? Te simti iubit in mod profund? Esti entuziasmat cu privire la viitor? Cat de des te simti cu inima usoara? Lui Isus Ii pasa foarte mult de viata ta. Si spune ca exista o cale prin care sa-ti recuperezi viata, un mod prin care sa iesi din ritmul nebunesc. Poti trai liber si fara griji. Iar aceasta carte iti arata cum. Un ghid practic si revigorant pentru recastigarea vietii Sufletul tau este captiv intr-un ritm de viata ametitor? Traiesti intr-o stare de alerta continua, provocata de torentul coplesitor de solicitari si informatii ce te epuizeaza fizic si iti zdrentuiesc sufletul? Cu siguranta nu este viata pe care ti-ai dorit-o, dar cum poti cobori din acest roller-coaster? John Eldredge, autorul de bestselleruri de la New York Times, descrie atat de revigorant cateva practici simple, pe care el le numeste „haruri”, ce te pot ajuta sa-ti iei viata inapoi, sa-ti recastigi echilibrul si sa cultivi un stil de viata mai domol. De-a lungul veacurilor, adevaratii urmasi ai lui Isus au folosit linistea si solitudinea, rugaciunea, locurile frumoase si o serie de alte „practici” pentru a putea sa se umple de prezenta lui Dumnezeu. Si sa-si descalceasca sufletul de lumea aceasta. Practicile recomande de Eldredge sunt: deprinderea de a insera pauza de un minut in activitatea zilnica; invatarea deconectarii benevole, adica abilitatea de a da drumul lucrurilor; manifestarea bunatatii fata de tine insuti si fata de ceilalti; absorbirea frumusetii pe care Dumnezeu a pus-o in natura; deconectarea de tehnologia suprasolicitanta. Nu trebuie sa-ti abandonezi viata pentru a o recupera. Simpla practicare a acestor haruri iti va darui mai multa pofta de viata; iti va aduce mai mult din Dumnezeu; iti va vindeca si-ti va intari sufletul. Incepe recastigarea vietii tale aici si acum. Sufletul tau iti va multumi pentru asta! Despre autor JOHN ELDREDGE este autor (in mod evident), consilier si profesor. Este, de asemenea, presedintele Ransomed Heart [Inimii rascumparate], o misiune menita sa-i ajute pe oameni sa descopere inima lui Dumnezeu, sa-si recupereze propriile inimi in dragostea Lui si sa invete sa traiasca in Imparatia lui Dumnezeu. Crescut in suburbiile din Los Angeles (pe care il ura), Eldredge si-a petrecut verile din copilarie la ferma de vite a bunicului sau, in estul Oregonului (pe care il adora). John si-a cunoscut sotia, pe Stasi, in liceu (la ora de teatru), dar relatia lor de dragoste a inceput dupa ce fiecare a ajuns la credinta in Cristos. Eldredge a obtinut un master in consiliere de la Colorado Christian University. John si Stasi locuiesc in Colorado Springs cu cei trei fii ai lor, un Golden Retriever si doi cai. Este pasionat de frumusetea naturii, de Shakespeare, de vanatoarea cu arcul si orice are de-a face cu aventura, poezia, baschetul, pescuitul cu musca, escaladari si mult prea multe altele pentru a le putea mentiona pe toate. Printre cartile lui publicate in limba romana se numara: Inima neinfricata, Muta muntii, Captivanta (impreuna cu Stasi) si Vanatoarea de lei (impreuna cu Sam).

John Eldredge insusi recunoaste: „Sufletul meu pur si simplu nu poate trai viata la viteza telefoanelor mobile. Lumea a luat-o razna de tot si incearca sa ne ia si sufletele cu ea.“ Dar viata ta poate fi innoita daca esti dispus sa accepti ajutorul lui Isus. Eldredge propune cateva practici simple: pauze de un minut, scaldarea in frumusetea miraculoasa a naturii, deconectarea de la tehnologie, practicarea bunavointei fata de ceilalti si de sine – si arata cum poti sa implementezi aceste obiceiuri in programul tau zilnic. Experimentarea sentimentelor, chiar si a celor inconfortabile, si stabilirea unor criterii de referinta sanatoase sunt practici atat de necesare pentru a preveni caderea „in ritmul nebunesc al acestei lumi“. Pe masura ce sufletul tau este vindecat si restaurat, se va potrivi din ce in ce mai putin in nebunia acestor vremuri si singura salvare viabila care sa-ti incetineasca ritmul vietii pentru a-ti duce la indeplinire menirea este „mai mult din Dumnezeu“. Pentru ca indiferent cat am gustat din Dumnezeu, vom afla cu surprindere ca avem nevoie din nou de El si maine. —Publishers Weekly X Nu te lasa amagit de dimensiunea acestei carti. Poate parea „subtirica“ in comparatie cu alte carti pe care le citesti, dar impactul ei este unul mult mai mare decat ai putea crede. Si nu te lasa amagit nici de subiectul dezbatut. S-ar putea sa te gandesti ca nu ai nevoie de o carte care sa-ti spuna sa-ti inchizi telefonul. Mai gandeste-te o data. AI NEVOIE de aceasta carte mai mult decat iti poti imagina. X Aceasta carte este plina de modalitati practice de a nu te lasa atras in iuresul lumii. Te va constientiza cu privire la modul in care lumea cu tot zgomotul ei te-a distras cu usurinta de la ceea ce este cel mai important si te va reorienta catre locul in care poti avea cel mai mare impact. Recomand cu drag aceasta carte sufletului care este obosit/impovarat/inecat de toate atacurile zilnice ale lumii. Sufletul tau iti va multumi! X John Eldredge nu numai ca reuneste cercetarile care vizeaza anxietatea si ritmul de viata neiertator induse de folosirea proasta a telefoanelor destepte, dar ne si indreapta atentia catre o viata de comuniune cu Dumnezeu, linistindu-ne inimile si lasand prezenta si frumusetea lui Dumnezeu sa ne refaca sufletele in aceasta perioada tumultoasa a istoriei omenirii. X Mesajul acestei carti incepe atat de simplu: Deconecteaza-te. Ia o pauza de un minut. Este primul pas; si pe masura ce urmezi calea pe care o propune John Eldredge, iti dai seama ca inveti cum sa-ti ingrijesti sufletul. Si ce poti avea mai de pret decat sufletul tau?
