3. Modlitba (Czech Edition)

Zkušenost posvátné úcty a d?v?rného vztahu s Bohem

Sv?toznámý manhattanský kazatel Timothy Keller vysv?tluje, co je k?es?anská modlitba, jaké druhy modlitby existují, k ?emu slouží a jak se má k?es?an správn? modlit. Zd?raz?uje, že modlitba je nejen jedinou cestou ke skute?nému poznání vlastního já, ale i hlavním nástrojem, jak poznat Boha, jak komunikovat s Bohem, jak se z Boha radovat a jak prožít hlubokou zm?nu svého vlastního života. Chvála, adorace, zpov??, pokání, prosba, lamentace, p?ímluva, stížnost, to všechno jsou formy modlitby, jež jsou klí?em ke všemu, co k životu k?es?an pot?ebuje. Timothy Keller mimo jiné zjiš?uje, že chvála tvo?í jakýsi rámec a motivaci pro ostatní druhy modlitby, ale zárove? poukazuje i na d?ležitost k?es?anského rozjímání a kontemplace, bez nichž se vlastní modlitba neobejde. Navzdory nesmírn? širokému záb?ru této problematiky se autor snaží neopomenout žádný aspekt modlitby. Z tohoto d?vodu je tato kniha pro v??ící k?es?any i pro ostatní zájemce vskutku výjime?ná, nad?asová a zárove? prakticky využitelná.

4. BØN (Danish Edition)

Keller deler ud af sin store viden om og praktiske erfaring med bøn.

Han giver læseren indsigt i Bibelens vejledning om bøn og øser af sit omfattende kendskab til mange af kirkens store bønskæmper. Samtidig motiverer og opmuntrer han sin læser til at finde ind i samtalen og mødet med Gud.

Bogen her vil pege på, at bøn både er samtale og møde med Gud. De to opfattelser giver os en definition på bøn og nogle redskaber til at få et dybere bønsliv.

De traditionelle former for bøn ? tilbedelse, syndsbekendelse, taksigelse og bøn om indgriben ? er på én gang konkret praksis såvel som dyb erfaring. Vi må erfare ærefrygten ved at tilbede Gud i hans herlighed, nærheden ved at finde ind i hans nåde og kampen ved at bede om hans hjælp. For gennem alt det kan vi lære hans væsen at kende som en åndelig virkelighed.

Bøn er altså både ærefrygt og nærhed, både kamp og virkelighed. Vi oplever ikke alle aspekterne, hver gang vi beder, men alle fire aspekter bør være væsentlige dele af vores bøn set over hele livsforløbet.

5. Bidden vertrouwelijke omgang met de ontzagwekkende God (Dutch Edition)

In dit prachtige boek behandelt Tim Keller een kernbegrip uit het christelijk geloof: het gebed. Hoewel het zo belangrijk is, weten veel mensen niet goed hoe te bidden. In zijn inmiddels bekende heldere en aansprekende stijl en aanpak schreef Keller een boek boordevol Bijbelse wijsheid en praktische adviezen.

Uit hoofdstuk 1:
Bidden is de enige weg waarlangs je tot echte zelfkennis komt. Het is ook de belangrijkste weg waarlangs we diepgaande verandering ervaren - het aanbrengen van een andere ordening in de dingen die we liefhebben. Door middel van gebed geeft God ons ontzettend veel van de onvoorstelbare dingen die hij voor ons in petto heeft. Ja echt, bidden maakt het veilig voor God om ons veel van de dingen te geven waar we het meest naar verlangen. Het is de manier waarop we God kennen, de manier waarop we God eindelijk als God behandelen. Gebed is gewoon de sleutel tot alles wat we moeten doen en moeten zijn in dit leven.

We moeten echt leren bidden. We moeten wel.

Tim Keller (1950) is senior pastor van de Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. Eerder verschenen van hem een groot aantal titels, waaronder de bestseller In alle redelijkheid - Christelijk geloof voor welwillende sceptici. Van dit boek zijn inmiddels meer dan 20.000 exemplaren verkocht.

Van Tim Kellers boeken zijn wereldwijd meer dan een miljoen exemplaren verkocht.

6. La prière S’émerveiller dans l’intimité de Dieu La prière sous 3 angles : théologique, méthodologique et pratique. (French Edition)

La prière est une amitié qui rassasie. La prière met notre coeur au diapason de celui de Dieu. La prière est la clé de notre être et de notre action. Nous devons apprendre à prier. C’est une nécessité.

La prière est un émerveillement, une intimité et une lutte ; mais aussi une approche de la réalité. Rien n’est plus important, difficile, riche ou facteur de transformation de vie. Rien ne surpasse la prière, absolument rien.

Timothy Keller analyse de façon précise et nuancée les pratiques passées ou contemporaines des différentes religions. Il nous apprend le bonheur de prier et de méditer les Écritures comme le faisaient Augustin, Luther et Calvin. Il s’intéresse particulièrement au Notre Père et aux Psaumes.

Keller présente la prière sous son angle théologique, méthodologique et aussi pratique. Un livre unique qui ne prétend pas livrer la clé ou le secret de la prière. Il offre de véritables outils pratiques et bibliques pour renouveler sa vie de prière afin d’expérimenter un émerveillement croissant dans l’intimité avec Dieu.

Public

  • Les chrétiens désirant avoir une vision d’ensemble (théorique et pratique) de la prière.
  • Les chrétiens qui souhaitent renouveler leur vie de prière avec des outils pratiques.
  • Les catholiques qui souhaitent avoir une vision (Évangélique) de la prière.
  • Les pasteurs et responsables spirituels qui enseignent la prière.
  • Les non-croyants qui s’intéressent à la prière chrétienne.

Pourquoi lire ce livre ?

  • Pour élargir sa vision de la prière : en comprenant l’importance, la puissance et la portée de la prière dans la vie du croyant.
  • Pour avoir de nouvelles idées pour sa vie de prière et renouveler sa relation avec Dieu.
  • Pour avoir l’éclairage, non seulement de Keller, mais aussi des auteurs classiques.

Points forts

  • L’expertise de Tim Keller, célèbre pasteur, auteur et conférencier, au service d’un sujet phare de la foi chrétienne. 
  • Keller offre un résumé détaillé et commenté de la pensée d’auteurs célèbres (Augustin, Luther, Calvin) sur la prière et le Notre Père.
  • Un livre complet qui traite de tous les aspects du sujet avec profondeur, clarté et nuance en 5 parties et qui encourage à se servir de la Bible pour prier.
  • Une approche qui prend en compte les défis du monde contemporain, mais aussi l’Histoire de l’Église et des différentes traditions de foi.

8. Prayer (Doa) - Mengalami Kekaguman dan Keintiman Bersama Allah (Indonesian Edition)

Setiap pembaca akan semakin rindu berdoa dan  mengerti bagaimana melakukannya.”—Christianity Today

 

Ini adalah buku paling solid tentang doa yang pernah saya baca dan  saya memberikan rekomendasi tertinggi untuk buku ini.”—Tim Challies

Penulis buku laris versi New York Times dan pendeta terkemuka menyelidiki kuasa dari doa

 

Umat Kristen diajar di gereja dan di sekolah bahwa doa adalah cara paling ampuh untuk mengalami hadirat Allah. Tapi, sedikit saja orang yang pernah menerima bimbingan atau panduan dalam menjadikan doa sebagai sarana yang penuh makna. Dalam buku Prayer, Timothy Keller menyelidiki beragam segi dari tindakan yang tampak alamiah ini.

Dengan wawasan dan energinya yang khas, Keller memberi panduan yang alkitabiah sekaligus doa-doa spesifik untuk berbagai situasi, seperti penderitaan, peristiwa kehilangan, kasih, dan pengampunan. Ia membahas berbagai cara untuk menjadikan doa lebih personal dan berkuasa, sekaligus bagaimana menerapkan praktik doa yang cocok dengan Anda. Pengajaran dari Timothy Keller telah membantu jutaan orang dan dengan buku Prayer ini, ia akan menunjukkan kepada Anda bagaimana memiliki hubungan yang lebih mendalam dengan Allah.

PUJIAN

“Bagi Keller, doa adalah tentang kekaguman dan keintiman; tentang sebuah percakapan dan perjumpaan dengan Allah. Dengan melihat berbagai doa dalam Alkitab dan tradisi Kristen, Keller menemukan bahwa percakapan dan perjumpaan adalah hal yang penting bukan hanya supaya kita dapat memahami Allah, tetapi juga untuk menemukan siapa diri kita yang sejati.“—Publisher's Weekly

“Unik, segar, dan sangat dalam secara historis — ini adalah buku klasik Keller ... Ini adalah sebuah perayaan dari kekayaan tradisi Kristen tentang doa yang sudah dinikmati oleh Bapa-Bapa gereja terdahulu. Tetapi kekuatan terbesarnya adalah penggunaan Kitab Suci untuk membingkai kehidupan doa.” —Tony Reinke

“Keller dengan cekatan menunjukkan apa yang tampaknya menjadi suatu kontradiksi yang melekat pada doa ... Bintang 5.”—Jen Pollock Michel

3. Basis of Prayer: "Our Father" – Timothy Keller

Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: The proper basis for prayer is to approach God as our loving, Heavenly Father and to view our relationship with him as a family relationship - not a business relationship. To be able to pray with this kind of confidence, we need to know that we have been adopted as his children, with all the privileges that entails, by the sacrificial death of his only begotten Son, Jesus.
