Designed to elevate our lives above mere frantic, animal existence to the sublime levels humanity is capable or experiencing, they are the blueprint of God's expectations of us and His plan for a meaningful, just, loving, and holy life. Each commandment asserts a principle, and each principle is a moral focal point for real-life issues relating to God, family, sex, work,...

Mi ayer, al que me referiré en este libro, es 1947, año en el que me gradué. En ese entonces, ser médico significaba haber adquirido los conocimientos teóricos en la facultad y los prácticos en los hospitales. El conocimiento médico avanzaba de a pie y con paso de paseo. Los médicos podían ser clínicos y cirujanos, y abarcar varias especialidades. Ser médico hoy es muy diferente. A la responsabilidad ética de antaño hacia la propia conciencia,...

In this provocative book, the author argues that American Christianity, especially evangelicalism, has been corrupted by the dominance of consumerism in modern life. The church's mostly uncritical adoption of this secular condition has resulted in an idolatrous morphing of the message of Christ into just another brand. With Brand Jesus, Wigg Stevenson names the growing concern felt by many Christians at the commodification of their faith.

The church understands community as unity in diversity: Paul's vision of the Body of Christ as a physical body, with all parts welcomed and honored as parts of the whole, is an image of community as revolutionary in our day as it was in first century Rome. And the church's call to act in the world, to be Christ's hands and heart for healing and reconciliation, hope and justice, gives it a unique role in the national movement to combat education inequity,...

The original title of this book was "The Tip Of The Iceberg." The iceberg is a visual object good for illustration and comparing spiritual truths to natural similarities.
Similarities such as one can only see the tip of an iceberg. Yet 90% of its mass is below (within) the surface. Likewise, we only visually see the outer results of our inner thoughts (positive or negative), not truly knowing what motivates us from within, below our fleshly surface.
