Gathering together for worship is an indispensable part of your family's spiritual life. It is a means for God to reveal himself to you and your loved ones in a powerful way.

Many people today are thirsty for God and feel a desire for an intense, personal prayer life that is deep and ongoing. But they encounter obstacles that prevent them from following the path seriously, and especially from persevering on it. Time for God was written with these desires and difficulties in mind. In Time for God, author Jacques Philippe mainly concentrates on mental prayer: prayer that consists of facing God in solitude and silence for a time in order to enter into intimate, loving communion with him. Practicing this kind of prayer regularly is considered by all spiritual masters to be an indispensable path that gives access to genuine Christian life—a path to knowing and loving God that empowers us to respond to his call to holiness addressed to each individual. Philippe draws on years of experience as a spiritual guide to illuminate the fundamental principles of mental prayer and describes some common mistakes and misconceptions that can lead it astray. With simplicity and clarity he explains the foundational principles for a healthy prayer life and gives advice for overcoming the various obstacles that arise when one sets off on the path of interior prayer.
Sabemos muy bien que cuando se inicia un año todos queremos organizar nuestras vidas y, para una buena organización, una AGENDA es de gran utilidad. Y la razón principal es que se nos pueden presentar muchas actividades cada día, cada semana y cada mes, y confiar solo en nuestra memoria no es recomendable porque podríamos olvidar algo importante al llevar una vida muy ocupada. Con una agenda, la cual podemos ver en diferentes momentos, planificamos las actividades que llevaremos a cabo cada día, semana o mes y nos preparamos mejor de antemano. Por lo tanto, los espacios para cada día pueden aprovecharse para escribir, como en toda agenda, esas actividades frecuentes. Además, siguiendo la GUIA DE LECTURAS DIARIAS que hemos organizado dividiéndola por libros y capítulos, podrás leer la BIBLIA COMPLETA en un año y, si deseas, puedes usar los espacios de cada día para tus pensamientos, reflexiones o meditaciones basadas en la lectura correspondiente. En los espacios donde no hemos puesto la fecha, hemos agregado: NOTAS, para que sean usados para apuntes de interés. También para que escribas esas cosas por las que agradeces a Dios, y para que escribas esas cosas que deseas ver hechas realidad con la ayuda de Dios. Por eso están tituladas: GRACIAS A DIOS POR... Y LE PIDO A DIOS... Además, incluimos espacio suficiente para los contactos: NOMBRE, TELEFONO, E-MAIL. En la actualidad existen muchos métodos de leer la Biblia en un año. En este que presentamos, se dedican siete meses a la lectura del Antiguo Testamento y cinco meses al Nuevo Testamento. Esperamos que esta AGENDA BIBLICA CON UNA GUIA DE LECTURAS DIARIAS sea de mucha utilidad a todos aquellos que se inician o que han estado en el camino del crecimiento espiritual. Felicidades por organizar tu vida y te deseamos todo lo mejor: salud, amor, paz, prosperidad y...todo aquello que anhela tu corazón. Que Dios te bendiga ricamente. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ARIAS, Con una Licenciatura en Teología y una Maestría y Doctorado en Educación Cristiana.
