What would happen if you admitted you weren't a good person? It's a seemingly crazy question. From priests to prisoners, nearly everyone thinks they're morally better than average. Why change our minds? Why admit the truth about ourselves? In his conversational and delightfully self-effacing style, Brant Hansen shows us why we should fight our drive to be self-righteous: it's breathtakingly freeing. What's more, just admitting that we're profoundly biased toward...

Over the last thirty years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people.

Younger leaders may advocate a more "missional? approach, in which believers live and work among unchurched people and intentionally seek to serve like Christ. While each of these approaches have merit, something is still missing, something even more fundamental to the mission of...

Andrea Wenk räumt in ihrem Buch mit diesen Erwartungen auf und bekennt sich selbstbewusst zu ihren eigenen Grenzen. Dabei bezieht sie sich in ihrem Buch auf Psalm 147,14: «Gott schafft deinen Grenzen Frieden», aus dem sie immer wieder Kraft und Ermutigung in ihrem Leben geschöpft hat. Frieden innerhalb der eigenen Grenzen zu finden, bedeutet für die Autorin dabei nicht, starr zu werden, oder sich nicht zu verändern. Es bedeutet für sie vielmehr, mit dem, was man hat, zu leben, zu wachsen und die...

In the first half of life, we are naturally preoccupied with establishing ourselves; climbing, achieving, and performing. But as we grow older and encounter challenges and mistakes, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way. This message of falling down – that is in fact moving upward – is the most resisted and counterintuitive of messages in the world's religions. Falling Upward offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life's...

This book, a re-issue of the 1999 edition, demonstrates that the way of life we call Christian is lived in relationships to others. Christian faith, understood as practical piety, calls for a life opened to the world at large, concerned for the «stranger» as well as for the neighbor. Sedgwick further emphasizes that the Christian life is grounded in the experience and worship of God. His work thus develops Christian ethics as «sacramental ethics,» an ethic that has at its center a deepening...

An ultimate orgasm is your personal best orgasm. It doesn't leave anything at the table. It doesn't want anything more. It lasts as long as it lasts. It takes as long as it takes. It's as messy and loud or quiet and tidy as you like. It has no room for shame or apology. An ultimate orgasm comes from questioning, exploring, experimenting, with no concern for how society or religion or anything else defines sex or female orgasm. The ultimate orgasm belongs to you and only you and it...
