Hvordan ser det rum ud, der dannes, når præsten træder ind ad døren til en familie, der skal have døbt deres barn? 8 præster reflekterer over dåbssamtalen og tager os med til den. Dåben klæder dig – både af og på. Otte forskellige præster tager os med til dåbssamtale. Med hver deres greb, men med det samme benspænd, nemlig at de ikke må støtte sig til formuleringer fra det teologiske arvegods, når de skal formidle dåben, men skal bruge egne ord og erfaringer. Dermed giver bogen otte forskellige bud på, hvordan der i 2018 kan tales relevant om, hvad dåb og kristendom er ind i de livssammenhænge, som nybagte forældre står i. Dåbssamtalen kender ingen udfaldet af på forhånd; som med enhver fortrolig samtale kommer det an på, hvor vi fører hinanden hen undervejs, hvad og hvor meget parterne hver især er villige til at give af sig selv. Forfatterne her lader os kigge med ind i samtalerummet med bud på, hvad der kan opstå, når folk og kirke mødes og rækker ud mod hinanden. Pressen skriver: Bogen kan bruges som et stort tag-selv-bord med tanker om og billeder på dåb. Man kan spejle sig i de forskellige forfatteres syn på dåben og måder at gå til samtalen på, og deres tanker kan bruges som klangbund for dåbssamtaler og som inspiration til dåbstaler. - Præsteforeningens Blad

En veloplagt og populær pave med et stærkt og aktuelt budskab til verdens ledere, til kristne og ikke-kristne; til en planet, der har brug for at blive rusket op til en radikal ”økologisk omvendelse”. Pave Frans’ budskab er mere end bare en økologisk dagsorden. Det er en vision for menneskeheden, for den fremtid, vi alle skal dele. ”Det påtrængende behov for at beskytte vort fælles hjem indebærer, at menneskefamilien skal samles om at søge en bæredygtig og integreret udvikling, for vi ved, at der kan ske ændringer. Jeg opfordrer derfor indtrængende til en ny dialog om, hvordan vi skal forme fremtiden for vor planet. Vi har brug for en diskussion, som inddrager alle, for miljøproblemerne og deres menneskelige årsager vedrører og påvirker os alle. Vi har brug for en ny og universel solidaritet. Vi kan alle som Guds redskaber arbejde sammen om at værne om skaberværket, hver enkelt ud fra sin kulturelle baggrund og sine evner og erfaringer.” (Pave Frans)

Hvordan lærer man konfirmander salmer? Med fortællinger om tekst og melodi præsenterer bogen femten salmer fra reformation til nutid. Til hver salme er der ideer til, hvordan man kan arbejde med dem på en mere kropslig måde. Har du oplevet at stå over for et hold konfirmander, som du næsten ikke kunne få til at slå op i salmebogen og slet ikke kunne få til at synge med? Og er du blevet mødt af en larmende tavshed, når du forsøgte at få en samtale i gang om en salme? Så er du helt sikkert ikke den eneste.Syng med konfirmander giver inspiration til, hvordan du med enkle tilgange og redskaber kan lære konfirmander salmer på nyemåder.Bogen er opdelt i tre hovedafsnit.

Tanken er, at man som underviser kan implementereaktiviteterne i bogens tredje afsnit for at skabe afveksling i undervisningen og variation i tilgangen til at lære konfirmanderne salmer.

If we look at the life of Moses, we find numerous spiritual lessons that will benefit any disciple of Jesus. Is his life important? Most assuredly, as this volume of work explores. He was a murderer, yet God used him mightily. He was almost killed as an infant, yet survived to do great things for God, leading a life of worth and value for 120 years. He survived the harshness of two wilderness journeys, totalling 80 years, and rightly takes his place, even though human, as one of the great heroes of the Bible. Moses as a prophet played a vital role in pointing towards the life and the ministry of Jesus. Moses is of great importance in the Bible for he is recognised as a deliverer (Exodus 3:7-10), covenant mediator (Exodus 34:27), priest (Psalm 99:6), and ruler (Exodus 2:13-14; Acts 7:27). Moses's larger-than-life status as prophet was designed by God as a template from which all other prophets would be measured. Enjoy this journey as covered in volumes one and two to know more about Moses, and how we can spiritually grow on our journey with God.

God never intends His calling for our lives to be a mystery to solve or a list of things to do. It's an open invitation to know Him intimately. The deeper we know God and dwell in His Word, the more naturally we discern His will. The secret is that there is no secret. This book will not teach you how to look for 'signs'. discover your gifts or hear a 'voice'. Nor will it tell you which career, ministry or marriage partner to choose. Rather, this book will take you on a journey through 24 Bible stories and examine how God calls His people and how people respond (or fail to respond). Drawing from four decades of experience in counselling and walking alongside seminary students in Hong Kong, Dr Philip Yeung uses Scripture powerfully and practically to address common misconceptions, questions and struggles expressed by Christians about discerning God's calling.
