Maybe it feels like one more thing to worry about in your already overwhelming life. Maybe the emphasis on effort in the Christian life appears unspiritual. Or maybe you've been trying really hard to be holy and it's just not working! Whatever the case, the...

Warmly pastoral and broadly accessible, this book introduces readers to the Canons of Dort, a 17th-century work summarizing the central...

Qui n'a pas déjà été trop occupé ? C'est une réalité qui nous rattrape tous à un moment ou à un autre de notre vie.
Nous n'avons qu'à consulter notre emploi du temps pour constater à quel point nous avons de la difficulté à mener une vie équilibrée. Pourtant, un rythme de vie complètement fou n'est pas ce que Dieu désirait pour nous lorsqu'il a envoyé son Fils pour que nous goûtions pleinement à la vie.
