In this Very Short Introduction Stephen J. Davis discusses the history of monasticism, from our earliest evidence for it, and the different types that have developed from antiquity to the present day. He considers where monasteries are located, from East Asia to North America, and everywhere in between, and how their settings impact the everyday life and worldview of the monks and nuns who dwell there. Exploring how monastic communities are organized, he also looks at how aspects of life like food, sleep, sex, work, and prayer are regimented.

Catherine of Siena (March 25, 1347-April 29, 1380) was a mystic, activist, and author who had a great influence on Italian literature and the Catholic Church. Catherine's mystical theology was employed towards practical ends for her own spiritual life and those of others. She used the language of medieval scholastic philosophy in the Dialogue, a poetic and prophetic work. Advocating for continuous, humble prayer, she hears God the Father answering her requests in order to receive help to be saved. Catherine gives special importance to mental prayer, but also recommends vocal prayer.

McLaren, a former pastor and now an author, speaker, and activist, shows how old assumptions are being challenged in nearly every area of human life, not just theology and spirituality.

A volta de Jesus deveria ser um assunto abordado continuamente nos púlpitos das igrejas. Nem sempre falar do futuro deveria ser motivo de medo, mas de boa expectativa, pois falar do retorno do Senhor deve ser uma experiência renovadora da fé cristã. Este não é um livro maçante sobre escatologia, mas um tratado que ecoa esperança e consolo, advindos das palavras de Jesus sobre os últimos dias. Que o impacto da exposição das palavras do Senhor sobre o fim reascenda nossa fé num futuro promissor e nos leve a louvar a Deus pela certeza da vinda de seu Filho a este mundo com poder e glória.

Every pastor struggles with demands for his time, and how to determine priorities in ministry. Some choose to respond to the most urgent needs, while others seek a more balanced and intentional approach. But what determines these priorities? Where should a busy pastor look for wisdom in making decisions?

These biblically rooted responsibilities help pastors determine how to spend their time.

As St. Bernard writes, "They love all the more, because they know themselves to be loved so exceedingly."

Those who walk with Jesus know he promised to one day return to this earth and establish his rule and reign over all things. He even instructed us to look for certain "signs" that would indicate his return was imminent. In fact, the Bible contains more than 2,400 references foretelling this great event! While Jesus said, "about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Matthew 24:26), he was clear that his followers should be watching and waiting for his second coming. How is this done? By continually abiding in the presence of God.

This darkness led to eleven years of rebellion, addiction, and brokenness. In Radically Restored, Stephen shares how his family trauma and self-inflicted pain gave way to finding a place of purpose and mission as a son of God, first and foremost, and then as a worship leader who now shares Jesus with the world.
