Sobre IBD

Every time we pray the Lord’s Prayer (or the 'Our Father') we are asking that God’s will be done. Do we realize what we are saying when we ask that God’s will be done? Is there any connection between the prayer that God’s will be 'done' and Jesus’ statement that we are responsible to 'do' God’s will? Most people, upon hearing the phrase 'will of God,' react in one of three ways: with fear, confusion or resignation. Are our lives predetermined for us ahead of time? Is God’s plan something like a blueprint, a road-map, or more like a work of art or an act of love? Does God decide for us or leave us to make our own decisions? Is there a reason for everything? How can God be a loving God if he is responsible for the evil in the world? Does God want us to be rich? Do miracles still happen? Can prayer alter God’s will? Is it God’s will when a student returns to the campus with a gun to kill his fellow-students? These are only a few of the questions raised and discussed in depth in this devotional guide to understanding the will of God. Other philosophical reflections in capsule form cover a wide diversity of topics in Part Two of the book, ranging from war and peace to servant leadership to what it really means to be 'great.' Written from a Christian point of view, the book may be used as a tool for private reflection or to help with group discussions such as a community book club.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...

These writers favored combining Italian-style music with the wider range of musical genres and scenic variety of French opera. As the music critic and commentator George W. Loomis shows in this groundbreaking volume, the you...
