Ravi Zacharias Bücher

„In der toleranten westlichen Kultur darf man heutzutage alles glauben, solange man nicht behauptet, es sei die absolute Wahrheit. Ebenso darf man alles tun, solange man nicht darauf besteht, es sei „der bessere“ Weg. Einzig wenn Jesus Christus ins Spiel gebracht wird, keimt sofort Kritik auf. Problemlos kann in Europa ein Journalist den christlichen Glauben heftig angreifen, aber eine ähnliche Attacke auf den Islam oder östliche Glaubensrichtungen ruft sofort allgemeinen Protest hervor. So und nicht anders stellt sich die derzeitige spirituelle Stimmungslage dar. Aber Stimmungen sind gefährlich. Denn sie können den logischen Verstand unter dem Gewicht der Gefühle begraben.“ Ravi Zacharias Ravi Zacharias zeigt eindrücklich, dass die unreflektierte Akzeptanz aller Religionen als Wahrheitsträger absurd ist. Dieses neue erstmals in Deutschland veröffentlichte Buch liefert eine brillante Argumentation für die Einzigartigkeit Jesu, die sich durch viel Hintergrundwissen mit Buddhismus,Hinduismus und Islam auseinandersetzt. „Ich kenne keinen anderen christlichen Autor, der sich mit solch einem profunden Hintergrundwissen mit östlicher wie westlicher Spiritualität auseinandersetzt.“ Michael Green

Knapp 70 Prozent aller Westeuropäer bestreiten, dass es so etwas wie Wahrheit gibt. Diese Verwirrung um die Wahrheit ist eine der grundlegenden Krisen unserer Tage. Oder wie es Joseph Kardinal Ratzinger einen Tag vor seiner Wahl zum Papst gesagt hat: „Einen klaren Glauben nach dem Credo der Kirche zu haben, wird oft als Fundamentalismus abgetan. Während der Relativismus, bei dem man sich von einer Glaubenslehre zur anderen hinreißen lässt, als die einzige, den heutigen Zeiten entsprechende Verhaltensweise erscheint. So entsteht eine Diktatur des Relativismus, die nichts als endgültig anerkennt und als das letzte Maß aller Dinge nur das eigene Ich und dessen Gelüste versteht.“ Was nützt es uns, wenn wir sagen, Jesus ist die Wahrheit, wenn zwei Drittel der Menschen glauben, es gibt so etwas wie Wahrheit überhaupt nicht? Wenn Christen sich bei den denkenden Menschen heute Gehör verschaffen wollen, müssen sie den Begriff Wahrheit an sich verteidigen. Genau das macht Ravi Zacharias in diesem Buch – und er macht es brillant. Er legt eine apologetische Verteidigung des christlichen Glaubens vor, die eindringlich und zwingend ist.

How you answer the question of God's existence, Zacharias says, will impact your relationship with others, your commitment to integrity, your attitude toward morality, your perception of truth, and your sense of meaning in life

Since the first edition was published in 1965, "The Kingdom of the Cults" has been the authoritative reference work on major cult systems. Updated regularly, it continues to be a crucial tool in countercult ministry and evangelism for teachers and pastors as well as lay Christians.

In the twenty-fourth chapter of Genesis a beautiful young woman offers assistance to a weary traveler and his camels, and out of that simple action, a marriage results-a marriage that offers profound lessons to couples today. Bible scholar and renowned speaker Ravi Zacharias draws five points critical to the long-lasting success of every marriage from the biblical story of the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah. "Real love folds together both the emotions and the will," writes Zacharias. "Without the emotions, marriage is a drudgery; without the will, it is a mockery." Building upon that foundational truth, Zacharias goes on to explain the principles of seeking the counsel of others when finding a mate, cherishing your partner, remaining pure, becoming a man or woman of prayer, and, finally, risking everything in a relationship in order to experience God's ideal for love. Couples everywhere, from those about to be married, to those who have been married for decades, will draw strength and wisdom for the journey of marriage as they learn from Ravi what it means to move from romance to lasting love.

Encounter Jesus Like Never Before through Eastern Eyes Throughout these pages, Ravi Zacharias and Abdu Murray invite readers to rediscover the cultural insights we often miss when we ignore the Eastern context of the Bible. They offer a refreshing picture of Jesus, one that appeals to Eastern readers and can penetrate the hearts and imaginations of postmodern Westerners. In Seeing Jesus from the East, Ravi Zacharias and Abdu Murray show us why a broader view of Jesus is needed - one that recognizes the uniquely Eastern ways of thinking and communicating found in the pages of the Bible. Zacharias and Murray capture a revitalized gospel message, presenting it through this Eastern lens and revealing its power afresh to Western hearts and minds. Incorporating story, vivid imagery, and the concepts of honor and shame, sacrifice, and rewards, Seeing Jesus from the East calls believers and skeptics, both Eastern and Western, to a fresh encounter with the living and boundless Jesus.

You can't be friends with God if the God you believe in doesn't really exist. You can't depend on God if your God is a figment of your imagination. In a world full of gods, how do you know Jesus is real? You have probably heard things like: All religions lead to the same God. All faiths teach the same things. It doesn't matter what you believe-just that you believe sincerely. But Jesus said that: He alone is the way to God. He alone shows us the truth of who God is. He alone gives us life close to God. In this youth edition of Jesus Among Other Gods, Ravi Zacharias gives solid evidence as to why we should choose Jesus Christ as THE God among all other gods. Zacharias contrasts the truth of Jesus with the founders of Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, providing strong descriptions of each faith and solid defenses for the cause of Christ. In addition to the religion comparisons, the book answers questions such as: "What about all the hypocrites at church?" "How scientific is science?" "How can you best share what you believe?" and "Does the Bible teach reincarnation?" You can never be too young to learn how to defend your faith . . . and this book will tell you exactly how to do just that!

How differently would we live if we believed that every dimension of our lives---from the happy to the tragic to the mundane---were part of a beautiful and purposeful design in which no thread were wrongly woven? That's what best-selling author and internationally-known apologist, Ravi Zacharias, explores in The Grand Weaver.As Christians, we believe that great events such as a death or a birth are guided by the hand of God. Yet we drift into feeling that our daily lives are the product of our own efforts. This book brims with penetrating stories and insights that show us otherwise. From a chance encounter in a ticket line to a beloved father's final word before dying, from a random phone call to a line in a Scripture reading, every detail of life is woven into its perfect place. In The Grand Weaver, Dr. Zacharias examines our backgrounds, our disappointments, our triumphs, and our beliefs, and explains how they are all part of the intentional and perfect work of the Grand Weaver.Also available: unabridged audio CD.

This reference tool on faith presents a summary of accessible answers to over100 commonly raised apologetic questions.

In the last decade, atheism has leapt from obscurity to the front pages: producing best-selling books, making movies, and plastering adverts on the side of buses. There's an energy and a confidence to contemporary atheism: many people now assume that a godless scepticism is the default position, indeed the only position for anybody wishing to appear educated, contemporary, and urbane. Atheism is hip, religion is boring. Yet when one pokes at popular atheism, many of the arguments used to prop it up quickly unravel. The Atheist Who Didn't Exist is designed to expose some of the loose threads on the cardigan of atheism, tug a little, and see what happens. Blending humour with serious thought, Andy Bannister helps the reader question everything, assume nothing and, above all, recognise lazy scepticism and bad arguments. Be an atheist by all means: but do be a thought-through one.
