Like a succession of failed diet regimens, the much-touted techniques that are supposed to bring us closer to God "in our hearts" can instead make us feel anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed. Phillip Cary explains that discipleship is a gradual, long-term process that comes through the gospel experienced in Christian community, not a to-do list designed to help us live the Christian life "right." He covers ten things we don't have to do to be close to God, skillfully unpacking the riches of traditional Christian spirituality. The expanded edition includes a new afterword.

Have you ever wondered why the subjects of giving and material stewardship cause so much controversy in the Church? Do you ever struggle with questions like: To whom should I give? How much should I give? How should I give? and For what reasons should I give? If so, this book is for you. It explores what the Bible, particularly the New Testament, teaches about Christian giving from a stewardship perspective.

Most believers possess certainty of their roles as priests. They engage in personal prayer and intercession without much hesitation. However, the same people hardly consider themselves "kings", even though the Bible calls us "kings" before we are called “priests"! Awaken the King in You focuses on changing this paradigm by reexamining the scriptures that emphasize our "kingly" role. It paints a picture of what our lives could look like once we embrace this new thinking. Join me on this journey of self-discovery as we unpack the truth of who you are—a king before a priest!

Thinking like Jesus fosters a change in the 21st-century virgin’s mindset as a bride of Christ living life with purpose. This type of thinking empowers followers to see themselves as the beloved bride of Christ and no longer as virgins, knowing that their purpose has set them apart from others. The mindset of the 21st-century virgin often gets stuck at the altar of salvation. They find it very challenging to transform and be changed into a new creature in Christ Jesus. But they can share the same thought process as Jesus, and the kingdom of God and its righteousness is theirs.

In Elders Reformed, Pastor Tim Bayly and Pastor Jürgen von Hagen bring decades of diverse pastoral experience to helping elders of Christ’s Church understand what it means to shepherd the flock of God. With Scripture as their foundation, they teach how elders should be chosen and appointed, what elders should be like, and the difficult work elders must do. They then combine hundreds of years of church history with their own experiences of ministering to God’s sheep—rich and poor, educated and uneducated, black and white, local and international.

In the book of Acts, through only song and worship, Paul and Silas shook the foundation and opened all the doors of the prison where they were held. Not only was the earth shaken, but also the spiritual world, as souls were saved that night, and the mighty name of Jesus was proclaimed in a destitute and avoided place. The often neglected and forgotten sector of prison ministry is an untapped potential power source in the current spiritual battle of today's dark times. Help me enlist and encourage the warriors and soldiers of God who can find purpose again in prison through prayer.

Celebrity—defined as social power without proximity—has led to abuses of power, the cultivation of persona, and a fixation on profits. In light of the fall of famous Christian leaders in recent years, the time has come for the church to reexamine its relationship to celebrity. Award-winning journalist Katelyn Beaty explores the ways fame has reshaped the American church, explains how and why celebrity is woven into the fabric of the evangelical movement, and identifies many ways fame has gone awry in recent years.

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.

Estamos en guerra. No con otro país ni con terroristas domésticos, ni con una nueva y siniestra inteligencia artificial, sino contra las mentiras. La decisión no es entre pelear o no pelear, sino entre ganar o rendirnos. El problema no es que digamos mentiras, es que terminamos viviéndolas.

Christian women want to mentor and to be mentored, though they may not fully understand what that means, the significance of this desire, or how to get there. The church must rise to answer these questions, meet life’s challenges, and develop creative ways of equipping modern women to mentor well. In Mentor for Life, Natasha Sistrunk Robinson lays a solid foundation for mentoring that is based on God’s kingdom vision, challenges women to consider the cost of discipleship, and the high calling they have received in Christ.

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.

Would you be a disciple of Jesus? This book is the second on the subject of the Empire of the Risen Son. As book one dealt with the Kingdom of God conceptually, this book deals with the Kingdom in practical terms. What does it mean, or require, to be a part of this Kingdom?

À travers toutes ses activités quotidiennes, le pasteur ne doit pas perdre de vue son objectif ultime : la sanctification du peuple de Dieu. C'est là le cœur du projet de Dieu pour les chrétiens. 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.

Muchos líderes de células no se dan cuenta de que, con frecuencia, su fracaso a la hora de crear una atmósfera excepcional, llena de poder de Dios y válida para transformar vidas, es debido a que ignoran el modo de hacerlo. Cualquier líder de un grupo celular encontrará fácil lograr en las reuniones un ambiente agradable y conseguir que los asistentes no tan sólo salgan con ganas de volver, sino incluso de traer a otras personas.

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.

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.
