Kara Tippetts's story was not a story of disease, although she lost her battle with terminal cancer. It was not a story of saying goodbye, although she was intentional in her time with her husband and four children. Kara's story was one of seeing God in the hard and in the good. It was one of finding grace in the everyday. And it was one of knowing "God with us" through fierce and beautiful friendship.
In Just Show Up, Kara and her close friend,...

This is Christ's announcement: the Kingdom of God has come to unlikely people. Like the people Jesus addressed, we are called lucky not because of our pain or brokenness but because...

En una carta dirigida a su amigo Paul Deussen, Nietzsche habla de su Zaratustra como «la Biblia del futuro, la más elevada erupción del genio, en la que está contenido el destino de la humanidad». Depurada esta autovaloración de sus pretensiones desmedidas, lo que queda es un juicio acertado en cuanto al estilo del Zaratustra. Para su composición, Nietzsche sigue el ejemplo discursivo de la Biblia, parodiándola para crear una suerte de contra-biblia....
