Now I Sea is the log of a voyage around the world filled with spiritual life lessons from the sea. In this collection of stories, personal adventures, and quiet reflections, you’ll cruise along the eastern seaboard of the United States, soak up some California sunshine, enjoy the Gulf of Mexico and Keys of Florida, sail to the Caribbean Islands, walk along the war-torn beaches of Normandy and the sun-drenched Côte d’Azur in France, swim with a wild dolphin in Ireland, and visit the ancient seas in Israel and Egypt.

As news reports of the horrific December 2004 tsunami in Asia reached the rest of the world, commentators were quick to seize upon the disaster as proof of either God’s power or God’s nonexistence, asking over and over, How could a good and loving God - if such exists - allow such suffering? In The Doors of the Sea, David Bentley Hart speaks at once to those skeptical of Christian faith and to those who use their Christian faith to rationalize senseless human suffering.

La llave (The Key) revela la fuerza oculta detrás de la vida de Jesús: Su vida secreta de oración. A través de historias conmovedoras, enseñanzas bíblicas y testimonios personales, Edwin De Paula invita al lector a experimentar la misma comunión íntima con Dios que Jesús practicó. Desde oraciones silenciosas en lugares apartados hasta intercesiones a medianoche y milagros públicos precedidos por súplicas privadas, este libro guía al creyente a redescubrir el hábito más poderoso pero a menudo olvidado de la fe: la oración privada. El mensaje es claro: Jesús no solo hizo milagros… primero oró.

Life is hard, especially for Christians. It is certain that we will face difficulties and that God will allow them. But just as certain is the fact that the same God who led us in will lead us out. As The Red Sea Rules makes comfortingly clear, he is in control. Using the Israelites' story in Exodus 14 as an example, Robert Morgan offers 10 sound strategies for moving from fear to faith. Just as Moses and the Israelites became trapped between Pharaoh's rushing armies and the uncrossable Red Sea, so are we sometimes overwhelmed by life's problems.

On average, around 350,000 U.S. students, and nearly one million students worldwide, study abroad every year. Yet since its inception in 1963, only about 73,000 total students from over 1500 colleges and universities have participated in Semester at Sea. It is a truly unique, exclusive, and intimate experience, where students and faculty study, work, and travel to the farthest reaches of the globe.

Often, Christians find themselves emotionally bewildered and mentally burdened by depression, while others struggle to attain healing. Some may be puzzled as to why their prayers remain unanswered.

The Gospels are dramatic and incredibly wet, set in a rich maritime culture on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Yet we've missed much of this perspective - until now. Leslie Leyland Fields, a seasoned Alaskan fisherwoman, leads us across the waters of time and culture out onto the Sea of Galilee, through a rugged season of commercial fishing with her family in Alaska, and through the waters of the New Testament beside the ragtag fishermen disciples.

The word "Evangelism" makes many Christians uncomfortable. Perhaps it is because evangelism "formulas" often feel manufactured, non-relational, and forced. But Jesus modeled a paradigm that was precisely the opposite. He shared the gospel in simple and personal ways by seeking out "the one"—the one who needed to meet Him most.
