John Mark Comer Knihy

Aký človek sa to zo mňa stáva? Táto otázka znepokojovala pastora a spisovateľa Johna Marka Comera. Navonok síce pôsobil ako úspešný človek, no v jeho vnútri nebolo všetko v poriadku. A tak sa s prosbou o radu obrátil na dôveryhodného mentora, od ktorého si vypočul tieto slová: „Povedz neúprosné nie zhonu. Najväčším nepriateľom duchovného života je uponáhľanosť.“ Takú odpoveď síce nečakal, ale dodnes sa presviedča o tom, že práve to potreboval. Namiesto toho, aby sme sa pokúsili presne pomenovať príčinu toxicity moderného sveta, mnohokrát iba riešime symptómy. Čoraz častejšie zaznievajú hlasy, ktoré za koreň veľkej časti zla považujú práve zhon a zaneprázdnenosť. Na stránkach tejto knihy nájdete pôsobivý návod, ako si v chaose moderného sveta udržať emočné zdravie a duchovný život. Presvedčivé dôkazy proti uponáhľanosti a v prospech jednoduchšieho, pomalšieho života.

In God Has a Name pastor and writer, John Mark Comer, shares a fresh yet ancient way to understand God. Comer speaks to today's seekers and believers trying to understand who God is and what He's like by focusing on God's own powerful statement about himself.

Garden City, by John Mark Comer, is a fresh take on our work, our calling, and finding our purpose. Comer explores the scriptures to discover God's original intent for how we are meant to spend our time. It's about the reality that what we do matters, just as much as who we are---and a reminder that we were never meant to pull the two apart.

In this four-session video Bible study, John Mark Comer discusses the power of Satan's lies and encourages believers to take up the armor of spiritual warfare, make a stand, and fight back with God's truth.

"The bestselling author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry equips readers to recognize the lies and resist the forces that seek to steal their happiness, wholeness, and holiness"--Publisher's description

Okolitý svet nás nepretržite formuje. Ak chceme, aby nás formoval Ježiš, musíme sa stať jeho učňami. Kniha ponúka brilantný pohľad na to, čo znamená nasledovať Ježiša. Po jej prečítaní budete túžiť kráčať v jeho stopách. Sme generácia, ktorej chýbajú učeníci, a práve v blízkosti Ježiša môžeme znovu objaviť zmysel života. Autor sa zamýšľa nad podstatou kresťanského učeníctva ako radikálneho povolania stať sa Ježišovým učňom – byť s ním, byť mu podobným a konať ako on. Táto úloha spočíva v tom, že vezmeme Ježiša za slovo, otvoríme mu všetky oblasti života a podriadime mu svoj čas, štúdium a návyky. Stávame sa tak ľuďmi, ktorí konajú tak, ako by konal Ježiš v našej kultúre. Autor čerpá zo svojich bohatých skúseností a ponúka praktického sprievodcu pre Ježišových učeníkov. Kniha je pozvánkou ísť hlbšie pre tých, ktorí už s Ježišom kráčajú, a ideálnym úvodom pre začiatočníkov. Čitatelia sa môžu tešiť na pravdivý pohľad do zrkadla a otázku, akým človekom sa stávajú. Kniha ponúka krásny opis života, aký Ježiš zamýšľal pre svojich nasledovníkov, a praktické kroky, ako ho zažiť.

Finally-- a theology of love that will help you navigate the confusing waters of modern relationship. In the beginning, God created Adam. Then he made Eve. And ever since we've been picking up the pieces. With an autobiographical thread that turns a book into a story, pastor and speaker John Mark Comer shares about what is right in male/female relationships--what God intended in the Garden. And about what is wrong--the fallout in a post-Eden world. Loveology starts with marriage and works backward. Comer deals with sexuality, romance, singleness, and what it means to be male and female; ending with a raw, uncut, anything goes Q and A dealing with the most asked questions about sexuality and relationships. This is a book for singles, engaged couples, and the newly married--both inside and outside the church--who want to learn what the Scriptures have to say about sexuality and relationships. For those who are tired of Hollywood's propaganda, and the church's silence. And for people who want to ask the why questions and get intelligent, nuanced, grace-and-truth answers, rooted in the Scriptures.

For years, John Mark Comer thought he was the only man on the planet who struggled with anxiety and depression. He was dead wrong.Staggering numbers of modern Americans fight anxiety and depression on a daily basis. In 2010, there were 253 million prescriptions for antidepressants in the U.S. alone. That's in a nation of 311 million people. And the battle is nothing new. My Name is Hope is the story of one follower of Jesus who went through the horrors of anxiety and depression and came out the other side. It is his ruthlessly authentic and scripturally authoritative account of prophets and poets, mothers and fathers, and even a Messiah who all came up against anxiety and depression."With obvious relevance and prophetic resonance," My Name is Hope "speaks needed truth into the over-stressed, over-medicated reality of our lives and culture. It is a book that will awaken and guide many towards a return home to the hope that is ours in Jesus."

Why our churches are shrinking: "In the discomfort between orthodox Christian faith and twenty-first century western dogma, we are tempted to do what it takes to make the pressure go away, to acquiesce on the beliefs that grate against contemporary sensibilities. For Christians raised under the ethic of relevance--the desire to prove believers can be both holy and cool--the pressure is too much. Some compartmentalize their beliefs into an orthodox/secularist mashup; others simply disappear into the ghostly embrace of secularity." - Mark Sayers Disappearing Church is a direct answer to the most pressing question facing church leaders today: How do we make disciples who stay the course? Full of real stories and actionable insights, Disappearing Church is a guide for disciple-making in a highly secularized society. God will grow His church and protect its purity, but He will use us to do it. Are you up for the challenge?

As followers of Jesus, our aim is to read Scripture as a means to abide in him. With no chapter or verse numbers to interrupt your reading, the NIV Lectio Bible is intentionally designed to be as distraction-free as possible, inviting Jesus to shape the architecture of your heart.

Hier geht es darum, eine Vision wiederzufinden. Eine Vision, die seit Ewigkeiten im Herz Gottes verborgen ist. Eine Vision, die Sinn, Ziel und Fokus gibt, wie wir hier und jetzt ganzheitlich Mensch sein können. Wie wir die guten Kreisläufe wiederfinden, die Gott im Garten Eden eingeführt hat. Damit sich sein Überfluss an Leben, Frieden und Wohlbefinden multipliziert! Dafür gibt er uns einen Auftrag: die Erde mit diesem Leben zu füllen. Und einen Rhythmus: Arbeit und Ruhe. Und einen Weg: zu herrschen, in seiner versöhnten, göttlichen, elternschaftlichen Art.

Wer ist Gott? - Was wir auf diese Frage antworten, ist wie ein Spiegel unserer eigenen Seele. John Mark Comer hält uns diesen Spiegel vor. Meisterhaft und wohlwollend, aber klar: Er führt uns zu der Stelle der Geschichte von Gott und den Menschen, wo sich Yahwe dieser Erde das erste Mal direkt vorstellt. Persönlich, mit Namen. Was sagt sein Name über ihn aus? Wie ist er denn nun wirklich? Dieser Gott, den wir lieben und hassen, anbeten und lästern, dem wir vertrauen und den wir fürchten, an den wir glauben und an dem wir zweifeln, in dessen Namen wir fluchen und vor dem wir uns beugen, über den wir Witze machen und die meiste Zeit ignorieren? Er ist gnädig, barmherzig. Gelassen, nicht leicht reizbar. Reich an Gnade, treu. Absolut gerecht. Er ist der, der einfach nicht aufhört, bis wir vollkommen frei sind. Haben wir ihn die ganze Zeit unterschätzt? Ein Buch, das den Horizont erweitert, uns zurück ins Wort Gottes zieht, das Herz und Verstand öffnet.
