Most Christians miss the ultimate hope for their future because their views of heaven are vague, religious . . . and, frankly, boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer, nothing is lost. Heaven is not an endless life of harp strumming and worship singing in the clouds. Rather, the life we long for – the paradise Adam and Eve knew – is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon.In this five-session study, John Eldredge explores the revolutionary idea that according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home – the New Earth is. Jesus said the next chapter of our story begins with “the renewal of all things” (Matthew 19:28), by which he meant the earth we love, ourselves, and all the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, and laughter. God’s promise is that everything shall be renewed “when the world is made new.”Part devotional, part adventure story, part field manual, this study will help you see the glorious future coming to you and provide “hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” (Hebrews 6:19). Ideal for individual or group use, this guide includes personal reflection questions, targeted excerpts from All Things New, a Big Ideas overview, small-group discussion questions, and group exercises. A leader’s guide is also included for those facilitating a group.Sessions include:The Hope of RenewalCreation Made NewYour Story Told RightlyWhat We’ll Do in the New EarthThe Power of Our HopeThis pack contains one study guide and one DVD.

Have you had it with the pressure to be a nice guy? In this updated edition of the bestselling classic, Wild at Heart, author John Eldredge reminds men we need adventure in our lives . . . in our work, in our love, and our spiritual lives. He reveals how God designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: to be a hero, to be a warrior, and to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men today have abandoned these dreams and desires—aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. So, instead of asking what you think you ought to do to become a better man, John asks us in this study, “What makes you come alive? What stirs your heart?” Join John and his band of brothers as they share stories of the deep wounds of their earlier years that took away their confidence and—in some cases—their masculinity. Their stories and John's teaching surface these important discoveries: Men are haunted by the question, Do I have what it takes? Our deepest wound comes from our fathers, and shapes us for the rest of our lives In a world that emasculates men, we long to be the hero – we have a battle to fight! We are searching for a beauty to love We are wired for an adventure to live Men, it’s time to recover our masculine heart, and step into the identity that God designed for us—dangerous, passionate, alive, and free! Sessions include: The Heart of a Man The Power The Wound The Battle The Beauty Adventure Designed for use with the Wild at Heart Updated Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.

Focusing on his compelling personality, bestselling author John Eldredge shows us the real Jesus - playful, wild, and often scandalous.

Mata a tu león es una exploración entre padre e hijo, a las preguntas a las que los hombres jóvenes se enfrentan cuando se acercan a la edad adulta-preguntas que siguen acosando a muchos hombres aún en la mediana edad.El título proviene de la tradición Masai en la que un joven finalmente sabe que se ha convertido en un hombre cuando ha matado a un león.El estilo del libro es conversacional. Por lo general Sam toma la iniciativa al contar una historia de sus años en la universidad, graduación, cortejando a una mujer, de su casamiento, o de la búsqueda de una carrera, y John responde con el consejo de un padre y sus propias historias de "comienzo en la edad adulta."Un diálogo entre un hombre joven que representa a los Millennials y un hombre maduro ofreciendo conocimiento y sabiduría sobre las questiones eternas de la jornada hacia la edad adulta.Mata a tu león is an exploration, by father and son, of the questions young men face coming into manhood.The title is drawn from the Masai tradition in which a young man finally knows he has become a man when he has killed a lion. The style of the book is conversational. Sam will typically take the lead by telling a story about his college years, graduation, pursuing a woman, getting married, or finding a career, and John will respond with counsel from a father and his own stories of “coming into manhood.”

In Luke 11:1, the disciples asked Jesus, "Teach us to pray!" Most of us want to know more about how prayer works. While we are used to offering up prayers, we wonder if we are praying in the most effective way or if we are approaching the throne of God in the "right" way. We ask ourselves:How do I listen for God?How do I pray for healing?How do I pray when I am under spiritual attack?How do I pray to break through strongholds of habitual sin?How do I pray for protection?How do I pray for my lost friends and family?In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), bestselling author John Eldredge shows how we labor under the misconception that prayer is asking God to intervene instead of partnering with him to get things done. This faulty assumption leads to untold confusion and grief when we ask of God but can't sense He hears us—or even cares. Rather, Jesus says, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19). When we operate from this position, we approach prayer with far greater confidence. We understand we have a role in making change happen and are not victims of circumstance—that we are sons and daughters of God bestowed with tremendous authority.Sessions include:There Is a Way Things WorkThe Cry of the HeartThe Prayer of InterventionThe Prayer of ConsecrationListening PrayerWarfare PrayerHealing PrayerHolding the Heart in Unanswered PrayerDesigned for use with the Moving Mountains Video Study (sold separately).

John Eldredge, autor best seller del New York Times ofrece una guía paso a paso hacia una oración eficaz, una guía paso a paso a través de diversas ocasiones en las que las oraciones pueden ser aplicadas, incluyendo el fundamento bíblico que respalda «la técnica», anécdotas alentadoras y modelos de oraciones.¿Por qué unas oraciones funcionan y otras no? ¿Cómo se sentiría orar con la confianza y la garantía de que Dios te escucha y que tus oraciones hacen una diferencia?John Eldredge ofrece una guía paso a paso hacia una oración eficaz. Todos tenemos una razón para orar. Anhelamos ver que Dios conceda nuestras peticiones y las de nuestros seres amados. Sin embargo, algunas veces no lo hace, y entonces, ¿dónde nos deja esa situación? ¿Estamos haciendo algo mal? ¿No nos escucha? ¿Por qué las oraciones de algunas personas parecen más eficaces que las de otras? Entonces nos desanimamos y dejamos de lado la oración, el arma misma que Dios nos ha dado para que no nos desanimemos.Si tienes algún interés en la oración, necesitas oraciones que funcionen. Esa es la clase de oraciones que constituyen el tema de este libro. Cuando descubrimos que la oración no consiste simplemente en pedirle a Dios que haga algo, sino que representa nuestra colaboración con Él, se abren ante nosotros nuevas posibilidades. No hay nada más esperanzador que el pensamiento de que las cosas pueden ser diferentes, y de que tenemos un papel que desempeñar en producir los cambios necesarios. Con Dios, podemos mover montañas.Mueve montañas te enseñará cómo experimentar el poder de la oración, desde la intimidad de la oración de escuchar, la oración de sanidad interior y el «clamor del corazón», hasta la habilidad de las oraciones de intervención, de consagración y de guerra espiritual. Tu vida nunca será la misma. Tampoco lo será el mundo… gracias a tus oraciones.This book offers a step-by-step guide through a variety of prayer applications, including the biblical basis supporting the “technique,” encouraging anecdotes, and model prayers.The disciples asked Jesus, “Teach us to pray!” Most Christians—most people for that matter—want to pray and do pray, but they don’t feel confident in the process. This book offers a step-by-step guide through a variety of prayer applications, including the biblical basis supporting the “technique,” encouraging anecdotes, and model prayers. John Eldredge has been teaching people how to pray for twenty years, and he has seen remarkable results. From experience, he knows what gets in the way of effective prayer and how to help people toward prayer that is truly effective.The book begins with a liberating reframing of what prayer is. Most Christians labor under the fundamental misconception that prayer is essentially “asking God to intervene.” This assumption has led to untold confusion and grief, for many do ask but God does not seem to hear…or care. Whereas Jesus said to his disciples, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Matt 16:19). When we operate from a position of our authority in Christ, we approach prayer with far greater confidence.

In his groundbreaking book, The Journey of Desire, John Eldredge invites readers to:Rediscover their God-given desire.Abandon resignation.Search again for the life they once dreamed of.Sometimes it seems we just can't get what we want. Circumstances thwart our best-laid plans. We struggle to live a heartfelt life. Worst of all, says Eldredge, the modern church mistakenly teaches its people to kill desire (calling it sin) and replace it with duty or obligation (calling it sanctification). As a result, at best Christians tend to live safe, boring lives of resignation. At worst, their desire eventually breaks out in destructive ways such as substance abuse, affairs, and pornography addictions.

Waking the Dead—newly revised and updated for these trying times—reveals the secret of finding a full life, identifying the fierce battle over our hearts, and embracing all that God has in store.Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” That’s the offer of Christianity, from God himself.Jesus touched people, and they changed: the blind had sight, the lame walked, the deaf heard, the dead were raised. To be touched by God, in other words, is to be restored, to be made into all God means us to be. That is what Christianity promises to do—make us whole, set us free, bring us fully alive.
