Collin Hansen Bücher

Newsweek bezeichnet Timothy Keller als den „C. S. Lewis des 21. Jahrhunderts”. Millionen von Menschen haben seine Bücher gelesen und seine Predigten gehört. In dem „City-to-city”-Netzwerk hat er christliche Gemeinden weltweit vernetzt. Aber welche Menschen, welche Theologen und Denker, welche Bücher und welche Lebenserfahrungen haben sein eigenes Denken und seinen geistlichen Werdegang geprägt? Angefangen von der Frau, die ihn lehrte, die Bibel zu lesen, über den Professor, der ihn bei jeder Predigt Jesus ins Zentrum stellen ließ, bis hin zu dem Philosophen, der ihm den Blick unter die Oberfläche der Gesellschaft zeigte. Wie haben C. S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jonathan Edwards, Billy Graham, Francis Schaeffer, Elisabeth Elliot, John Stott und viele andere ihn geprägt? Zum ersten Mal zeichnet Hansen auch Timothy Kellers frühe Jahre nach: Wie er sich mit seiner alles bestimmenden Mutter auseinandergesetzt hat und zum Wortführer der Geschwister wurde und wie er in seiner ersten Gemeinde lernte, Menschen als Seelsorger und Pastor zu begleiten. Und natürlich zeigt er, wie Tim Keller als Pastor der Redeemer Church in New-York-City zu einem der weltweit prägendsten christlichen Leiter wurde – auch wenn er selbst diese internationale Bekanntheit nie gewollt hat.

A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Exploring the theme of revival, this book encourages readers to pray expectantly for God's powerful work in contemporary times, drawing on historical accounts of significant revivals from biblical events to modern movements. Authors Collin Hansen and John Woodbridge highlight the common threads among these transformative moments in history, including the Reformation and various awakenings across the globe. Through engaging narratives, they inspire a deeper faith and understanding of how revival can manifest in today's culture, inviting readers to anticipate God's ongoing work.

Why We Need the Church Now More than Ever Churches are currently facing a host of difficult issues--potential shut-downs and restrictions due to COVID-19, political dissension among members, racial division, church abuse scandals, and the list continues. While some attendees have temporarily turned to virtual church services, others are wondering if committing to a local church is worth the trouble. Is it really that important to gather each week? Written for anyone struggling to answer this question, Collin Hansen and Jonathan Leeman help readers rediscover why the church is essential. Rediscover Church starts from the ground up, examining topics such as the mission of the church, the importance of preaching and teaching, church membership, church discipline, and how to love members who are different. This book is a timely reminder that the church is more than just a livestream--it is an essential fellowship of God's people furthering God's mission.

Odkedy globálna pandémia zavrela brány kostolov, mnohí kresťania sa prestali zúčastňovať cirkevného života, dokonca ani nesledujú prenosy bohoslužieb. No tento trend začal dávno pred covidom. Polarizujúce spoločenské postoje viedli niektorých k tomu, že sa vzdialili zboru aj jeden druhému. Teraz je čas vrátiť sa do spoločenstva bratov a sestier v Kristovi. V knihe Na zbore stále záleží sa autori venujú tomu, prečo je cirkevný zbor pre veriacich a Božiu misiu taký dôležitý. Cez biblické odkazy a osobné príbehy ukazujú čitateľom skutočný Boží zámer pre spoločné stretávanie sa: aby sa duchovne posilnili jednotlivci, ale aj telo Kristovo. V dobe, keď ľudia nechcú urobiť záväzok ku konkrétnemu zboru, keď radšej sledujú bohoslužby online, zistite, prečo budúcnosť cirkvi závisí od pravidelného stretávania Božej rodiny.
