Charles Spurgeon’s Biography
This book by Juan Carlos de la Cruz, on the Biography of Charles Spurgeon, his ministerial life and the most remarkable events of his more than four decades.
Writing a biography is a complex task to try to draw someone’s life on words, and complicated task when there is little documentary and testimonial biographical information. But, analyzing the life of a character of which there is so much information, such as the case of Carlos H. Spurgeon, probably complicates the situation further. We have dozens of his books (about 200 between writings and edits), thousands of his sermons, dozens of his magazine articles, his diaries, his letters, a huge biography written by his wife and his secretary, and literally hundreds of biographical works and critics of every imaginable extension of that character. We could say in a very colloquial way

Fe De Barack Obama – (Spanish)
$14.99Discover the unapologetically Christian and liberal Barack Obama-and how he represents the changing face of religion in American politics.
You’d have to live in a cave to have avoided hearing about Barack Obama’s woes as he deals with the crises arising from the close mentor relationship he had with the senior pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ, Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. How, people ask, could Sen. Obama represent as president people of all races, when he attended for 20 years a church permeated by a defining, if understandable, spirit of anger toward white America? There is, however, much more to the senator’s faith than this one issue. As early as 1994, as he delivered a powerful speech to the Democratic National Convention in Boston, he was taking a stand for his faith: “We worship an awesome God in the Blue States… Those of us on the political Left who believe in a woman’s right to choose an abortion and who defend the rights of our gay friends and who care for the poor and who trust that big government can be a tool of righteousness-we also love God… No longer will we be painted as the non-believers” In The Faith of Barack Obama, Stephen Mansfield explores Obama’s religious faith without political or ideological bias. Because if a man’s faith is sincere, it is the most important thing about him, and it is impossible to understand who he is and how he will lead without first understanding the religious vision that informs his life.
Descubra al Barack Obama que es cristiano y liberal sin ningun reparo en admitirlo -y como el representa el rostro cambiante de la religion en la politica estadounidense.
Barack Obama enfrento ciertas tribulaciones mientras trataba con la crisis causada por su ex pastor, el doctor Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. ?Como pudo el senador Obama asistir durante 20 anos a una iglesia impregnada por un definitivo (aunque comprensible) espiritu de ira hacia los blancos de Estados Unidos? Hay, sin embargo, cosas mucho mas importantes en la fe del senador que tan solo este tema. En La fe de Barack Obama, Stephen Mansfield explora la fe religiosa de Obama sin inclinaciones politicas o ideologicas. Su premisa basica es esta:ASi la fe de un hombre es sincera, entonces es el factor que mas lo define. En consecuencia, es imposible entender como dirigira Barack Obama sin primero entender la vision religiosa que informa su vida.

Casi En Casa – (Spanish)
$14.99“I never thought I would live to be this old.”
In this moving narrative, Billy Graham once again takes up the pen not only to share his personal experience of growing older but also teach us some important lessons on how to view our time here on Earth. He says that the Bible makes it clear that God has a specific reason for keeping us here. So what is His purpose for these years, and how can we align our lives with it? How can we not only learn to cope with the fears and struggles and growing limitations we face but actually grow stronger inwardly in the midst of these difficulties?
In what may be his most powerful message of the last decade, Billy Graham speaks to all on this side of Heaven as he covers the importance of four key areas:
Building strong foundations and understanding the gift of years
Facing life’s transitions, including the passing of years, retirement, and when loved ones die
Making wise decisions
Understanding our glorious hope“In this book I invite you to explore with me not only the realities of life as we grow older but the hope and fulfillment and even joy that can be ours once we learn to look at these years from God’s point of view and discover His strength to sustain us every day. I pray that you and I may learn what it means not only to grow older, but, with God’s help, to grow older with grace.”
“Nunca pense que viviria hasta esta edad”
En esta conmovedora narracion, Billy Graham vuelve a tomar la pluma no solo para compartir su experiencia a esta edad, sino que tambien nos ensea algunas lecciones importantes sobre como ver nuestro paso aqui en la tierra. Dice que la Biblia es clara en que Dios tiene una razon especifica para tenernos aqui. Asi que cual es Su proposito para estos aos, y como podemos alinear nuestras vidas con ese proposito? Como podriamos no solo aprender a lidiar con los temores y dificultades, y con los multiples obstaculos, sino tambien a volvernos mas fuertes por dentro en medio de estas dificultades?
“En este libro te invito a explorar conmigo no solo las realidades de la vida conforme vamos envejeciendo sino tambien la esperanza y satisfaccion, e inclusive el gozo que podemos tener cuando aprendemos a ver estos aos desde la perspectiva de Dios y descubrimos Su fortaleza para sostenernos cada dia. Pido a Dios que tu y yo podamos aprender lo que significa no solo llegar a la ancianidad, sino hacerlo en la gracia de Dios”.

Lunes Con Mi Viejo Pastor – (Spanish)
