In response to the recent critiques made against Balthasar’s interpretation of Christ’s descent into hell on Holy Saturday, this book argues that Balthasar does not intend to present a radical reinterpretation of the doctrine in contrast to the traditional teachings but rather intends to fully appreciate the in-betweenness of Holy Saturday as the day of transition from the cross to the resurrection, from the old aeon to the new. The book further argues that this awareness of the “in-betweenness” can be detected throughout Balthasar’s theological corpus and provides a clue to interpret his thoughts on Christian discipleship and suffering. After all, the Christian existence is also characterized by the transition from the old aeon to the new, from suffering to victory. The Christian believes that their victory is already here and not here yet. In this sense, the Christian still lives in Holy Saturday. Eventually, we can deepen our understanding of Christian discipleship and suffering in the light of Holy Saturday. In short, we could patiently endure our Holy Saturday because of Christ’s Holy Saturday in hell.

God is calling forth a generation that is passionate for His presence. What does that look like, and how can it be accomplished? Jaeson Ma offers a powerful vision of what God is radically doing in this generation. Students are already being set on fire for God, planting missional communities, praying fervently, and stepping out in faith to see God move in power to reach the lost. It is time to see this manifested on every campus, in every city, and in every nation. Through his own personal stories, student testimonies, and practical biblical teaching, Ma envisions and practically equips student and staff leaders to change themselves and their campuses for Christ. Readers of The Blueprint will receive a clear vision for revival and reformation of society, a specific spiritual DNA (passion for prayer, power evangelism, and planting simple churches), and practical tools to see the vision for reformation become a reality. That's the plan. Now to see the revolution unfold!

The average American spends about ten minutes per day in religious or spiritual activities. Do you believe you can experience a personal transformation if all you have is ten minutes a day? Or could these ten minutes be part of a more comprehensive plan for personal and global revolution? Could ten minutes be a mustard seed that God grows into something amazing? Pastor and author Chris Altrock believes it can! Rather than complain about ten minutes being too insignificant for spiritual growth, Altrock teaches practices to maximize that time for personal transformation and real social change. In only ten minutes a day over forty days, you'll learn a dozen spiritual disciplines to deepen your relationship with God. You'll also learn and see how God can use even the smallest amounts of time to change you and the world through your actions. Are you ready for ten minutes to actually make a difference?

Gods timing is everything; timing can be our friend or our enemy. (To everything there is a season, and a purpose under the heaven.) Ecclesiastes 3:1 We must operate by Gods timetable and not ours. Waiting is a choice. We cannot afford to miss Gods timing because if we do, we will be out of sync and divine order. The clock is ticking and it is countdown, 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 minute before midnight. Midnight is a crucial hour and it represents all the negativity in our lives; but midnight also represents for the believers that it is officially the dawning of a new day, a fresh start, a new beginning, a breakthrough and a turnaround. A date with destiny and purpose is having a prophetic word spoken over your life, which manifests your promise. To God be the Glory for all the great things he as done. The year 2010 has been a spiritual journey for me, a journey of awareness and discovery. Awareness of the hidden things on the inside of me called creativity. I have discovered a new level of love for my Heavenly Father. While waiting inside the incubator I have learned to push pass the pain and worship, praise and glorify my Father. During this time I developed a more intimate relationship with the Father. I know him as Abba, Father and Daddy, and he knows me as his sweet precious handmaiden daughter. My heavenly Father is the one who validates and sets his approval on our lives. Now I truly know who I am and whose I am and because I am intimate with my heavenly Father, I am free to be me. It has all been Worth The Wait.

In a world full of waiting, we could all use a little faith. This book speaks directly to the heart of waiting adoptive parents, but could also encourage anyone who finds themselves waiting for that next season of life. The text was originally written by the author as a journal while she and her husband struggled to start a family. This journal is now a book filled with Scripture and devotions of hope. Refuel Your Wait includes heartbreaking and joyful personal stories of infertility, the adoption process, relationships with birthparents, and a medical miracle. This book will encourage the reader to turn their wait from a passage of time into intentional time of prayer, relationship building, and unexpected joy.

Waiting is hard to do in most cases, and is not something most of us enjoy doing. In this book S.K. Harris shares her personal journey of growing up in a Christian home but not always doing as she had been taught to do. She triumphed through childhood illness, teenage rebellion, and young motherhood, and is now sharing with you what she didn’t want to hear in her younger days, Wait! This book will minister to the needs of the single, married, young and old, and will strengthen you in your relationships with God. You will be encouraged to wait on the Lord in directing your path to destiny in marriage, relationships, careers etc. Her words are truthful, enlightening, encouraging, and most of all endearing. She also includes testimonies of others who have endured hardships but now share her message of waiting. You will laugh, you will cry, but prayerfully you will be inspired to wait.
