CARTA SOBRE L’APOLOGÈTICA. HISTÒRIA I DOGMA (ARRAY)
Carta sobre l'apologètica és el títol abreujat d'aquesta obra important de Maurice Blondel. Publicada el 1896, poc després de la tesi doctoral de l'autor, L'action (1893), hi exposa amb gran precisió el mètode de la seva filosofia de l'acció. L'impacte d'aquest escrit va ser veritablement gran. D'una banda, fa veure com la seva filosofia de l'acció finalitza en una filosofia de la religió, tot renovant en profunditat l'apologètica clàssica i inaugurant de fet el que més tard serà la teologia fonamental; i d'altra banda, mostra com l'evolució de la modernitat filosòfica no tenia per què conduir necessàriament a l'ateisme, sinó que la fidelitat al mètode d'immanència porta a la superació del fonamentalisme immanentista. Precisament una de les aplicacions més profundes i brillants de l'original filosofia de l'acció de Blondel és la segona obra que oferim, Història i dogma (1904), en la qual l'autor afronta un dels problemes candents de la crisi modernista: en la història del cristianisme, com es realitza el pas dels fets històrics a les doctrines i al dogma? Evitant tant l'historicisme com el dogmatisme, Blondel descriu la tradició com l'organisme vivent col·lectiu que opera la mediació entre fets i doctrines. Ambdues obres són de gran actualitat a causa de l'atzucac de l'anomenada postmodernitat i al renovat interès per la manera en què accedim amb garanties als fets i al missatge de Jesús de Natzaret.

EL MISTERIO DE LA CREACIÓN DE DIOS (JUSTO ABAD ZAMORA)
Este libro trata de la trayectoria de un joven que desde niño soñaba con leer algún día La Biblia para saber de Dios y conocer su historia. Cuando, por fin, consigue hacerse con una Biblia, sufre una enorme decepción al comprobar que lo que a él le habían enseñado no se ajustaba al verdadero contenido bíblico. Y vio Dios todo lo que había hecho y le pareció que era bueno en gran manera? (Gémesis 1:31) Sin embargo Dios con Adán y Eva no supo llevar a cabo bien su propósito y se le escapó de las manos, dejando que la tierra se fuera poblando de gente con el sentimiento de la maldad?

PROMISES (BEERS, CASSONDRA E.;FOMICHEVA, ALEXANDRA;DORY, BRITTANY)
When Yahweh, God, spoke creation into being, He made a promise. When He?spoke you into being, He made a specific promise to you. Though we have forgotten this?promise because of the fall, Holy Spirit can remind us of the promise that He made to us?and allow us to begin to walk in this promise. These poems, written between 2012-2016,?chronicle a journey, my journey, in remembering the promise that Yahweh made to me. As He has used these poems to reveal His promise to me, it is my hope that these?poems that He gave by His Holy Spirit will serve to remind you of His promise and?complete faithfulness to you to manifest the?promise that He made in the Beginning.?Let's continue to grow in the knowledge of the revealed promise and learn how to rest in?the immutability of the promise, for it rests not on our shoulders, but on the shoulders?of the only One who has the power to keep the promise.

WHEN IT’S TOO LATE TO TELL (JOHNSON, J. EVAN)
To tell is to perceive. To tell is to inform. When it's Too Late to Tell features four characters, Mark, Craig, Jade and Berta, all holding issues from the past that suffocate every lasting relationship they have. Mark, an elementary school teacher, and his wife Jade, a pharmacy technician, hold deep secrets from each other; secrets that cause a rift in their marriage. Mark's best friend Craig lives his days as a financial planner, struggling with the idea of God, questioning His existence each day. Indeed, Craig once believed and held strong to his faith, formerly being a youth minister for a well-known church, but some strenuous events turned his life upside down. If it weren't for a helping hand, his life would have ceased to exist. Berta, Craig's assistant, stands to be the most faithful, although the horrors that happened to her in her past would allow anything but. One part to her past in particular binds her, forcing her to believe that her entire existence boils down to a single man's dying wish. In this mesmeric story of relationships, each of the four must realize what issues truly hold them back

PAINTED WINDOW (WATERBURY, DR. DEBORAH)
Some doors are hard to close, and some windows are almost impossible to see through. Elizabeth can't seem to do either as she struggles with both her past and her present. Orphaned at the age of two, Elizabeth was forced into a life of prostitution at sixteen. Now, despite having finally left her old lifestyle behind when she moved to the kingdom of Comdenshire, she doesn't believe she deserves love. No one could possibly want to spend his life with someone who is not only dirty and poor, but has behaved as shamefully as she has. When King Reginald catches a glimpse of her in the marketplace and falls in love with her, Elizabeth is both baffled and anxious. Despite her insistence that she is not lovable and that Reginald will not love her once he knows her better, he continues to pursue her. But what should he do when she is put in jail, accused of stealing a bracelet? And how can he communicate with her when the window of her cell has been painted over? Follow Reginald and Elizabeth in this romantic allegory of what it means to fully realize and accept Christ's love and be His bride. Suggested Bible passage

WHITE ZEPHYR (WATERBURY, DR. DEBORAH)
What is the role that every Christian is to play while he or she waits on the King to return? What do they do as even the king's people seem to forget what He said and what He promised? Elizabeth and her friends are left in Comdenshire as King Reginald is away, fighting a war with the neighboring kingdom of Balefore. But while he is away, his village has erupted in violence and mayhem. People are turning against one another, and a new king is threatening to take the throne, a new king who is nothing more than a puppet in the hands of the same evil that has always threatened Comdenshire-Albert Humphry. When news of the king's death reaches the borders of Comdenshire, all seems lost-were it not for a small band of people who are loyal to King Reginald. It is up to this band of people to remind the people of whom their king is and that he will keep his promises-all of them. White Zephyr is the final book in the Painted Window Trilogy, an allegory that depicts each Christian as the bride of Christ as well as the role that each must play while here, waiting for the glorious return of the Bridegroom.
