The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ is the true center of our salvation. Through a deep and compelling examination of Scripture, the author demonstrates that without Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, we would be lost. However, because of his death and resurrection, we now have the promise of eternal life in heaven with him. This book also reminds us that since Christ first loved us in this way, it is now our joy to take up our own cross daily and follow him.

Martin Luther war ein Mann, der mit beiden Beinen im Leben stand. Er legte sich mit dem Papst und den weltlichen Fürsten an, zog den Kirchenbann auf sich und riskierte sogar sein Leben. Seine Bibelübersetzung ins Deutsche hat ihn weltberühmt gemacht. Sein Glaube an die Einheit von Körper und Geist wurde zu einem der großen Streitpunkte des Christentums. Er bildet den Kern seiner Theologie, die schließlich zur Teilung der christlichen Kirche führte.

In this powerful and passionate memoir - his final work - Cone describes the obstacles he overcame to find his voice, to respond to the signs of the times, and to offer a voice for those - like the parents who raised him in Bearden, Arkansas, in the era of lynching and Jim Crow - who had no voice.

From the time he was born, Martin Luther King III has carried the weight of his father’s legacy—and his dream of a Beloved Community built on justice, love and equal rights for all. Today, in a world burdened by histories of violence, oppression, racism, poverty, fear and disconnectedness, that dream seems more remote than ever. In answer to these challenges, Martin has teamed up with his wife and fellow activist, Arndrea Waters King, and legacy architects Marc Kielburger and Craig Kielburger to find a new way forward.

Over the centuries, many high-profile people have been killed because they posed a threat to the supreme powers. The perpetrators who got away with murder of their foes have often been ingenious in covering-up their acts and in diverting public attention.

More than 50 years ago, an assassin's bullet robbed us of one of the most eloquent voices for 20th-century human rights and justice. Drawing on a new generation of scholarship about the civil rights era, To the Promised Land goes beyond the iconic view of King as an advocate of racial harmony to explore his profound commitment to the poor and working class, and his call for "nonviolent resistance" to all forms of oppression, including economic injustice.

In Fire and Lamentations, Janvier T. Chando offers readers succinct accounts of the lives, ideals, and untimely deaths of the towering political figures whose assassinations shocked American society, triggered domestic political transformations, and fundamentally altered America foreign policy, so that the United States of America lost its innocence forever.

Kennedy — and the country’s soul and the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. brought...

Un livre classique sur la prière. Écrit par le célèbre prédicateur et théologien Martin Luther, il enseigne une manière toute simple de prier. Son livre est réédité depuis 500 ans dans de nombreuses langues.

Die Bezeichnung "Hauspredigten" erklärt sich daraus, dass Luther diese Predigten 1530-1534 in seinem Hause seinem Gesinde gehalten hat, wenn er "Schwachheit halben" nicht in der Kirche predigen konnte. Eine andere Lesart des Begriffs ist: Diese Predigten hätten "in den Häusern" gelesen und gehört werden sollen. Vermutlich werden Luthers Hauspredigten nur wenigen heutigen Hörern zur reinen Erbauung dienen, obwohl sie viel Nachdenkenswertes enthalten.

The wisdom acquired during C. T. Vivian's lifetime is generously shared in It's In the Action, the civil rights legend's memoir of his early life and time in the civil rights movement.

However, today many Protestants have no clear idea of the doctrine or the history of how it was recovered by Martin Luther. This book presents both of these in accessible terms.
