Sinopsis del Libro

2021 Catholic Media Association Award honorable mention award in liturgy Authenticity is a value difficult to define but impossible to ignore in contemporary life. The desire for authentic experience pervades art, music, food, dating, marketing, and politics. Worship is no exception: Vatican documents, megachurch websites, pastors, and liturgy planners all make competing claims to offer the genuine article. But what makes liturgy authentic? What distinguishes real celebration from artificial spectacle, heartfelt prayer from empty ritualism, a living tradition from both stagnation and gimmickry? Can today’s Christians perform the liturgy so that it is not a mere performance but a sincere offering of their whole selves? In this book, Nathaniel Marx argues that the defining characteristic of authentic liturgy is harmony. Authentic liturgy happens when the minds of participants are in tune with their voices. The call for worshipers to harmonize their inward and outward offerings of prayer is discernible in the Bible, in the history of Christian prayer, and in diverse efforts to invigorate communal worship today. Marx’s argument unfolds the meaning of this call to authentic worship through a provocative and wide-ranging study incorporating scriptural exegesis, liturgical history, anthropology of ritual, and philosophy of action. He argues that authenticity is not a modern buzzword but an ancient virtue essential to worshiping in a spirit of communion.

No Muchos Padres

After many years of experience with churches, I observed that the maturing of the churches in general was being thwarted by the lack of genuine apostolic and five fold ministry. The book was written to illustrate the need for genuine fatherly leadership from the heart of maturity. Most books about apostolic leadership, although good and helpful, were more or less written from the point of view of application and performance of ministry rather than from the aspect of heart. Key editorial points are: Why we need leaders to be fathers. Why fathers should be honored and the results in the church...

La Iglesia de Hechos 2 (the Acts 2 Church)

Recently revised and expanded, The Acts 2 Church provides ideas to get you going and resources to equip you to lead a healthy, growing church. It also offers the ability to help you evaluate and analyze where your church is now and where you want it to be. Based on Acts 2: 42-47, The Acts 2 Church finds it footing in five areas of the church: worship, connect, grow, serve, and go. Ideal for church staff, deacon board, and volunteer leadership.

Evangelizar un mundo nuevo

Muchos han animado e incitado a D. Gabino Díaz Merchán a que escribiera sus memorias. Las responsabilidades que ha tenido, los cargos que ha ocupado y las señas de identidad de la diócesis en la que ha sido pastor tantos años le llevaron a ser partícipe en acontecimientos de la vida y la historia de la Iglesia, y también de la política, españolas en la última y febril mitad del siglo xx. Podría hacerlo con mucha lucidez, aportando a los diversos acontecimientos de un tiempo tan convulso lumen cum pace, que ha sido la divisa de su enseña episcopal y que define muy bien su carácter ...
