Chan, Francis. O Deus esquecido : revertendo nossa trágica negligência para com o Espírito Santo. São Paulo : Mundo Cristão, 2010.

A irrelevância da Igreja em muitos lugares e a apatia de seus membros pode ser creditada, em boa medida, ao desprezo pela ação do Espírito Santo. Igrejas que se renderam ao mero ativismo e à espetacularização do culto, no fundo, não passam de mero agrupamento de pessoas cuja aparência esfuziante oculta a ausência de Alguém que não está sendo convidado para a festa. Não é por falta de livros que o povo de Deus ignora o Espírito Santo. Muito já se escreveu e se falou sobre a terceira pessoa da Trindade. Contudo, a visão estereotipada e falsa do Espírito (propriedade exclusiva dos carismáticos, ou ilustre desconhecido dos conservadores) persiste entre um grande número de cristãos. Mas a questão não para por aí. O puro desinteresse pelo compromisso com Deus e o próximo tem alimentado a negligência para com o Espírito. Francis Chan revela o exato senso de urgência da questão. Se a Igreja quiser transformar o mundo, precisa antes transformar-se numa comunidade que vive sob a força renovadora do Espírito Santo.

Tucker, Ruth, 1945-. Fé e descrença : um drama na vida de quem crê. São Paulo : Mundo Cristão, 2008.

Por que para uns acreditar é tão natural como respirar e para outros, uma luta emocional e intelectual que no fim não vale a pena? À medida que o conhecimento avança e os fenômenos naturais tornam-se conhecidos, Deus deixou de fazer parte da resposta. E se nem mesmo a milenar questão do mal consegue ser resolvida, a razão confronta: existe Deus? Ruth Tucker decidiu caminhar pelo terreno movediço que separa a fé e a descrença, revisitando teólogos, filósofos e cientistas que conviveram com a dúvida intermitente ou colocaram Deus em xeque. Também ouviu relatos daqueles que viram sua fé desmoronar, mesmo tendo acreditado fervorosamente, por não conseguir conviver com o perturbador silêncio de Deus e com a indiferença dos cristãos que os cercavam. As histórias dos que se decepcionaram com Deus e da jornada espiritual da autora abrem nova perspectiva sobre os mistérios e os paradoxos da fé. Aventura arriscada — alguns ficaram pelo caminho —, mas corajosamente enfrentada pela autora. Sua curiosidade intelectual, sua compaixão pelos que não crêem e sua obstinada busca de significado ajudam a compreender a irresistível atração do ser humano pelo divino.

Wangerin, Walter. O livro de Jesus : romance. São Paulo : Mundo Cristão, 2006.

Na dúvida entre ler a Bíblia ou um romance, faça as duas coisas ao mesmo tempo. Quando se aventurou a fazer uma narrativa romanceada das passagens bíblicas, Walter Wangerin estava pisando em terreno perigoso. E sabia disso. Para os cristãos mais conservadores ou ortodoxos, dar nova roupagem aos relatos das Escrituras poderia soar como uma afronta, ou mesmo heresia. No entanto, a reação do público e da crítica a O livro de Deus foi extremamente positiva, a ponto de gerar a idéia de uma trilogia, cujo segundo volume, O livro de Paulo, tornou-se outro best-seller. O estilo de Wangerin, ao contrário do que supunham os puristas, enriqueceu as histórias com detalhes históricos e culturais, além de emprestar-lhes uma atmosfera literária moderna. Agora Wangerin completa a trilogia com O livro de Jesus, uma obra surpreendente. A apresentação romanceada dos fatos que envolvem o nascimento, a obra, a morte e a ressurreição do Mestre transporta o leitor aos mesmos ambientes onde os verdadeiros personagens viveram. Ricas em pormenores, as tramas desenvolvidas pelo autor dão um peso ainda maior à dramaticidade dos episódios narrados nos quatro evangelhos. Fé, emoção, intrigas, ação, todos os elementos que compõem um bom romance estão nesta adaptação fantástica, que em nada compromete a reverência que os relatos bíblicos merecem.
