Culture, church, and life have sold us narratives about who we’re supposed to be as women. If we play the part well, we gain love, acceptance, validation, and significance. When we don’t know which role to play from one day to the next, we sink in insecurity. We feel driven to people-please, downplay, settle, and perform. In all this, we accept less than the abundant life Jesus died to give us. Amanda Pittman explains how we can rewrite our damaging self-beliefs with the truth about our God-given identity by establishing clarity, connection, competency, and conviction.

Many Christians view the Bible as a book that they know they should read, but it can be hard to know where to start. If they spend time regularly reading it, it can often feel like a chore to be checked off for the day. What many miss is that the Bible is a sweeping story full of narrative, poetry, and letters—something to be marveled at and enjoyed. In The Epic Story of the Bible, Greg Gilbert aims to teach Christians—or those interested in Christianity—what the Bible is and how to study it.

The Lord has called pastors and other spiritual leaders to train the saints so that every believer can be involved in ministry and become mature in Christ. As each believer fulfills what the Lord has called him to do, a wonderful thing happens. God begins to build His church through His people from house to house and in each community. Ministry does not just happen in our church meetings; it happens at our schools, our places of work, and in our homes as we reach out to others.

A gripping tale of escape from Egypt, The Stranger at Our Shore is the true story of one young man’s journey out of Islam into new life in Christ. Through his remarkable testimony, Chicago pastor Joshua Sherif calls on the Western Church to reconsider the plight of the modern-day sojourners in our land—the strangers at our shore and the ones living right next door—and to return wholeheartedly to its first charge: making disciples. Any believer will walk away from this book feeling less intimidated and better equipped to disciple people who are different than them.

Dans ce livre, John MacArthur rappelle aux pasteurs de ne pas oublier la raison pour laquelle ils passent d'innombrables heures à préparer des sermons, à rendre visite à des personnes malades, à conseiller et à célébrer des mariages, surtout lorsque la ligne d'arrivée semble lointaine et qu'ils sont tentés d'abandonner.

Few things bring more immediate scrutiny and impassioned angst among young adult Christians today than hearing the words “purity culture.” Serious flaws from purity culture deserve to be scrutinized, especially given its lasting negative effects on some raised in the movement. Many Christians today reject the movement—and all that it stood for—wholesale. However, we can’t ignore the clear sexual ethics of the Bible.

This booklet is of vital necessity. You cannot ignore it if you want to live the Spirit-filled life. You will find the description of the condition of the human heart. God desires and expects to fill with His Spirit and power each person who is saved. This expectation of the Lord must meet the cooperation of the believer to remove from his heart and from his life all the things that fill his heart and his life preventing him from being filled with the Holy Spirit. You will find in this booklet a list of these things. Go through them and let God find a path into your heart.

Fully Alive looks to the overarching story of the Christian Bible to understand and answer two of life's most haunting questions. The first question is, "Am I truly loveable?" The second, "Will my life matter?" Where do these questions stem from? Why do these questions influence our emotions and behaviors so significantly? In John 10:10, Jesus says He came so that we might have life and have it to the full. Fully Alive has been written to help you understand what it means to live Fully Alive, why it is so difficult to attain it, and how to take steps toward that life.

"I don't think I've ever met anyone who hasn't struggled with the desire to know God's will. The problem is, this struggle often involved a great deal of confusion and worry." --Chuck Swindoll Many people have the idea that if they could just somehow find that single planned direction, they...

In this audiobook, Professor Fomum stresses the indispensability of spiritual power to accomplish the great commission of taking the glorious gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to every human being. God's purposes are tied to spirit-filled men and women, people on whom the Holy Spirit has come. Using the Biblical examples of Gideon, Jephthah, Samson, King Saul, David, and the Lord Jesus, as well as his personal testimony, the author shows clearly that it is when the Holy Spirit came on them that they received power to accomplish God's call.

With moral scandals in the news, it is time is to listen to what the Bible says about becoming more like Jesus. What is holiness? Why be holy? What place does grace and the gospel play in becoming more like Christ? And, most practically, how do we become holy? Dr. Josh Moody leads us with clarity along a path to a simple biblical profundity: Holiness is becoming who we are in Christ. Christ has not only saved us from death, but set us apart for life. Those who are in Christ are not only called to be holy, but are given the power to be so through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Renowned theologian J. I. Packer believed that Christianity is not automatic and must be learned by new believers and mature Christians alike. In Growing in Christ, Packer offers listeners an easy-to-follow road map for studying theological topics, including the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and baptism. Each chapter helps both new and lifelong believers examine what Packer calls "the intellectual ABCs" of the gospel so they can grow in faith.

National tensions are at a record high. People on all points in the political spectrum care deeply about their country, although they differ wildly in their opinions about what it looks like to serve that country well. As Christians, we love God and seek to follow him. At the same time, nothing shapes us and tugs at our loyalties quite like the place we live. And of course we are regularly encouraged to pledge our allegiance to our country―or particular understandings of it. Who wins when the priorities of God and our country clash?

Written as fictional correspondence between two men at different stages of life and faith, the novel Letters Along the Way provides important biblical perspectives.

How do you know when you have succeeded at making a disciple? When are you done? If you are making a bicycle, you know what an operational bicycle looks like. It has wheels, brakes, drive and steering systems, and, most importantly, a comfortable seat. Before you ship it out, you can test it to make sure it is operational. But how do you know when a disciple is well-made? Your success in disciple making can be measured by how many disciples continue to follow God for the right reasons and navigate the unknowns long after your influence fades.

Knowledge is power, but the knowledge of God's presence within and around you is the ultimate power. God's original intent was to have a personal relationship with us, not a religion. That is why Jesus told us in the Book of Luke that "the kingdom of God is within you". If the kingdom of God is within me, then I should be looking within to find the presence of God. This audiobook provides a "spiritual" understanding of the Bible that relates directly to you! It also provides a simple, step-by-step explanation that helps you understand your direct God-connectedness.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer fue un doctor en teología alemán de gran prominencia, quien vivió en los tiempos de Hitler. Mientras que la inmensa mayoría de los líderes eclesiásticos de su tiempo adoptaron una actitud pasiva—y hasta de apoyo—al régimen Nazi, Bonhoeffer se opuso poderosamente a éste. Estas acciones temerarias le costaron su encarcelamiento y posterior ejecución el 9 de abril de 1945. En este libro, Bonhoeffer explica con gran profundidad y erudición del Sermón del monte y otros pasajes en el Nuevo Testamento que definen lo que significa ser un verdadero discípulo.

Every Christian who has believed in Christ and received him as lord and savior, must enroll and make progress in the school of the one in whom he has believed and who is "the way, the truth, and the life". Genuine conversion should lead to a radical end to sin and a radical commitment to the truth. In this audiobook, Z.T. Formum shows us how he himself cooperated with God to root out all lies and falsehoods from his life. It exposes, through characters from the Old and New Testaments, the manifestations of lying in many practical aspects of life.

In today's Church, we see the world beginning to filter in as people bend to the pressures of this life. But in the Scriptures, Jesus calls us to do something radical—to come and die. As we die to our flesh, we will live with the eternal reward found only in Him. But what does that kind of death look like? In Come and Die, Pastor Joshua West explores the Scriptures and extrapolates verses to show just what Christ means when He tells His followers to "take up your cross and follow Me". Are you brave enough to accept His call, or will you continue to live this shallow life?

Fervent passion for Jesus is often one of the first things to fade as we struggle through the daily grind of life, especially after grappling with disappointments and pain. Yet inherent in Jesus's call to return to our first love is his promise to help us never to lose it—to have a heart sustained in joy, delight, and passion for him all of our days. Dana Candler shares her own wrestle with weariness and unbelief, and reveals that a heart fully alive in Jesus is not only possible but is the promise and invitation of God's infinite grace.
