English
Description
Women in the Bible-some of their names we know, others we've only heard, and others are tragically unnamed. Pastor and provocateur Alice Connor introduces these women and invites us to see them not as players in a man's story-as victims or tempters-nor as morality archetypes, teaching us to be better wives and mothers, but as fierce foremothers of the faith. These women's stories are messy, challenging, and beautiful.
Fierce will provoke you, open...

Modern Christianity seems to have largely overlooked the concept of a spiritual house for God today - but, as this book aims to show, it was a focus and an objection of deep affection for some of the most well-known characters in the Bible. More importantly, it is something that God loves, and therefore every Christian should surely learn to love it too!

Cada uno de nosotros vivió la fidelidad o no de muchas personas, aquí la vemos encarnada en distintos personajes de la Biblia. Es "precaria" porque encierra una fragilidad muy humana.
Las reflexiones siguientes giran en torno a experiencias que hacemos con frecuencia. Son "comunes" en un doble sentido: porque somos muchos los que las compartimos, y porque pertenecen a la vida cotidiana, no tienen nada de raro o inusual. Una de estas experiencias...

In John 6:35, Jesus said: "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
Is that a religion? Is being a bread of life-a religion?
