Rediscover Your Humanity and Win the War Against Cynicism and Despair

Other Side of Hope

In short chapters full of memorable personal stories Danielle Strickland challenges us to take seriously our reading of the Gospels and the consequences of that reading. Strickland exposes the lie that debates regarding women's positions in the church and in life are academic exercises conducted by theologians with no impact on the day-to-day lives of women and the lie that the debate is even about gender. Strickland starts with stories of women in subjugation--women who are considered property, or have been told to remain in abusive relationships, or face extensive cultural restrictions.These are women she has met as she serves around the world for the Salvation Amy. She calls us to know each woman as she meets Jesus and by her spiritual gifts--not by a culturally defined category. After tackling overt cases of oppression of women, Strickland confronts the subtleties of gender inequality in the Western world. Laying open the Bible and inviting all to come, she thoughtfully outlines the positions regarding gender equality and reviews related passages of Scripture. Using her gift as an evangelist along with the guiding of Scripture, reason, tradition, and experience, she makes her case that the more women are empowered to be true equals to men, the closer we bring the Kingdom of God.

The Liberating Truth

In light of recent cultural events and movements, how can women and men live and work together again, seeing it not as an unmovable issue but an opportunity for change?

God didn't just say to Pharaoh, "Let my people go!" He also said to the Israelites--and He says to us--"Let go of what enslaves you, and follow me to freedom." The Ultimate Exodus opens our eyes to the things that enslave us, and it sets us on the path of our own exodus. Danielle Strickland revisits the story of the Exodus to see what we can learn from a people who were slaves and who learned from God what it means to be free. We discover as we go that deliverance goes much deeper than our circumstances. God uproots us from the things we have become slaves to, and He takes us on a long walk to the freedom He created us to enjoy.

Die Sehnsucht nach einem Leben ohne Angst und wahrer Freiheit trägt jeder Mensch in sich. Aber wie schaffen wir das - angstfrei zu leben? Gibt es da nicht doch immer wieder Menschen, Umstände, Angewohnheiten, Denkmuster und Erwartungen, die uns in die Enge treiben, abhängig machen und innerlich gefangen nehmen? Nur, wenn wir uns diesem Thema stellen, können wir etwas dagegen tun und in das weite Leben aufbrechen, das Gott uns verheißen hat. Auf dem Weg dorthin ist dieses Buch ein Augen öffnender und gleichzeitig zutiefst ermutigender Begleiter. Wagen Sie einen ganz neuen Blick auf die größte biblische Befreiungsgeschichte und entdecken Sie, welche buchstäblich befreiende Bedeutung sie auch noch für unser Leben hier und heute hat. Wir dürfen wissen: Wir sind unterwegs mit demselben Gott, der das Meer unserer Ängste und Unfreiheiten teilen und uns in die Weite führen kann - in ein angstfreies Leben.

Aufbruch in ein weites Leben.

Angstfrei

Wenn es in unserem Leben drunter und drüber geht, haben wir den Drang, alles sofort wieder in Ordnung zu bringen. Doch was ist, wenn in unserem größten Chaos die größten Chancen liegen? Denn eigentlich ist das Chaos gut, es ist der Ursprung aller Kreativität, allen Wachstums, aller Veränderung - und des Lebens selbst. Danielle Strickland lädt dazu ein, Gott in all dem zu vertrauen und sich in das Leben zu stürzen, so wie es ist: unberechenbar, unvernünftig, wild und manchmal ziemlich chaotisch. Denn Gott ist ganz groß darin, jedes Chaos zu nehmen und daraus die schönsten Dinge zu erschaffen. Höchste Zeit also, das persönliche Durcheinander als einen wilden, wunderschönen Garten zu sehen, in dem das pure Leben wächst.

Auch wenn es dir manchmal über den Kopf wächst, kann Gott daraus ein Meisterwerk schaffen.

Dein Leben ist ein wilder, wunderschöner Garten

This profound little book encourages us to set aside our limited expectations, and to fall in line with God's. Human beings like organization, structures, plans; God grows people. We ask for a budget; God offers us love. If you are aiming at relationship rather than performance, how do you measure effectiveness? How do you write a mission statement, yet allow God space to act out His plan rather than yours? What does Divine Order look like? Faith in God involves risk, and the possibility that God will do something entirely new. Starting with the seven days of creation, Danielle considers how God's world resembles A Beautiful Mess ' vibrant, full of colour and pulsating with life, but not about propositions. The Christian life is organic, not prescribed. We were not created to work, but to be fruitful. We need to be willing to put ourselves in a position where only God can do what needs to be done, and to have the humility to let God show us what that is.

Journey Into Depth

Infinitum

Can you imagine a future where women and men are better together? We are at a strategic cultural intersection where relationships between women and men are eroding. While it is good for women to expose their pain, abuse, and experiences of gender inequality and oppression, what often follows is a never-ending cycle of blame, accusations, denial, avoidance, and ultimately devastation for everyone involved. Better Together, a six-session video-based Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), is a beacon of hope in this challenging storm. Danielle Strickland helps us understand how oppression works–whether it relates to gender, race, socioeconomic status, or religion–and how to overcome it. Let Danielle inspire you to believe that change is possible and equip you with ideas and strategies that will compel you to action. The Better Together Study Guide includes six guided Group Gatherings intended to amplify the video teachings as well as between-session personal time to engage the Bible and study content. Sessions include: Through Kingdom Lenses Hope for the Future Pulling the Thread Embracing Difference Replacing Root Beliefs Transition to Thriving Designed for use with the Better Together Video Study (9780310110781), sold separately. Streaming video also available.
