Otto Rimas – författare

Care este scopul vietii? Cine este Dumnezeu? Cum descopar chemarea lui Dumnezeu pentru viata mea? Acestea sunt intrebarile tratate de autor in aceasta carte despre ucenicia crestina. Umblarea cu Dumnezeu este o aventura plina de bucurie si surprize. De asemenea, este o calatorie prin ceata si intuneric, imprejurari in care credinta este incercata, increderea testata si Dumnezeu Se dovedeste a fi credincios. Dumnezeu ne da libertatea sa ne traim vietile ca oameni plini de initiativa, deoarece am fost creati avand priceperea pentru a lua deciziile necesare pentru vietile noastre. In acelasi timp, El ne invita sa intram an parteneriat cu El, fiindca este cu totul de partea noastra si vrea sa ne ajute, sa ne calauzeasca si sa ne sprijine. De asemenea, El ne cheama sa ne dedica in totalitate implinirii marii porunci: sa Il cinstim cu vietile noastre ti sa raspandim Evanghelia in lume. "Chemarea si… viata eliberata" este o carte destinata tuturor celor care doresc sa ia in serios viata crestina, care cauta voia lui Dumnezeu pentru viata lor si vor sa traiasca o viata plina de bucurie pentru Dumnezeu. Tema centrala a acestei carti inspirationale si pozitive despre viata crestina este clara si provocatoare: Isus Cristos este Domnul si El ne-a chemat sa traim vieti dedicate Lui. 309 pagini. Otto Rimås este profesor la Colegiul Biblic Mariannelunds folkhögskola din Mariannelund, Suedia, inca din anul 1978.

What is the meaning of life? Who is God? How do I find God’s calling for my life? These are questions that the author deals with in this book about Christian discipleship. Living for God is an adventure, full of joy and surprises. It is also a journey through mist and darkness, where faith is tested and trust is challenged, and where God proves Himself to be faithful. God grants us our freedom to live with a strong initiative, since we are created competent to make decisions for our lives. At the same time He invites us to go into partnership with Him, who is fully on our side and wants to help, guide and support us. And He challenges us to be fully focused on the great commandment: to honour Him with our lives and to spread the Good News to the world. “Go for God” is a book for everyone who wants to take the Christian life seriously, who is seeking God’s will in life and who wants to live a joyful life for God. In this positive and inspiring book about Christian life, the focal point is clear and challenging: Jesus Christ is Lord and He has called us to live devotedly for Him. Otto Rimas works as Bible teacher at Mariannelunds folkhögskola in Sweden since 1978. 242 pages. From the Foreword by Roger Forster This book is about the liberating call of God. It is because of the all embracing character of God’s call together with the paucity of literature on this subject that Otto Rimas has written these helpful pages. The meaning of God, life, myself, would be ambitious enough for a book but Otto shows that we need to know God’s calling not only for these subjects but for when we don’t understand what is happening, when we need wisdom in how to act, or how to appropriate and express our calling in our contemporary society. Otto’s book has freshly stimulated my heart to be waiting on God and listening to his voice in all the circumstances of my life; good peaceful, pleasant, successful, but even more so in the dark days and the crises of my Christian discipleship. These pages from Otto Rimas will analyse and explain this comprehensive and magnificent call of God and in so doing these pages will make us hungry to hear his voice.

Far up in the Carpathian mountains, the Romanian shepherd culture still lives, vivid and rich. In this book, inspired by the beauty of nature, earth and heaven meet. It offers encouragement and comfort, it inspires hope and faith. When the images from the life of the shepherd meet the biblical texts about the shepherd, both gain new dimensions. Short meditations about life add yet another depth to this book. "The Shepherd" is a book for peace and reflection where photos, Scripture and poetic texts create an atmosphere of adoration of the Creator and thankfulness for life. The book is also a unique documentation of an environment and a culture which is threatened and risks to be lost forever in the expanding modern society. The book is illustrated with over 50 photos in full colour. 75 pages. Lena and Otto Rimas work as Bible teachers at Mariannelunds folkhögskola in Sweden since 1978.
