There really is more to this life than you've been told. We've been demanding our way since day one ... "I want a spouse that makes me happy and coworkers that always ask my opinion." "I want weather that suits me and traffic that helps me and government that serves me." Self-promotion. Self-preservation. Self-centeredness ... "It's all about me." They all told us it was, didn't they? And we took them up on it. We thought self-celebration would make...

Lucado recurre al Evangelio de Juan para mostrar a los lectores que, cualesquiera que sean los desafíos que enfrenten, Jesús está caminando con ustedes y sacándolos de sus tormentas. Cuando crea que Dios es su fuente de ayuda siempre presente, encontrará el valor que necesita. Eres más fuerte de lo que piensas, porque Dios está más cerca de lo que crees.

"Trace the footsteps of Jesus from the bustle of Bethlehem to the quiet garden tomb to the road outside Emmaus where two friends heard God's story from God himself. This inspirational journey through the hills, the dust, and the homes of the Holy Land invites you to see, with new eyes, God's heart for his people and His deep love for you." --

"Lucado shows you that you're stronger than you think because God is nearer than you know. You'll be comforted by the living, loving, miracle-working God who doesn't think twice about stepping into the thorny thickets of your world to lift you out."--Provided by publisher.

The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word "terror." Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison of unlocked doors....

In this book the author, America's pastor defines God's grace and illuminates the changes it can bring into a person's life. Grace. We talk as though we understand the term. The bank gives us a grace period. The seedy politician falls from grace. Musicians speak of a grace note. We describe an actress as gracious, a dancer as graceful. We use the word for hospitals, baby girls, kings, and premeal prayers. We talk as though we know what Grace means....

Punchinello's opinion of himself changes after talking to his creator.
