Alistair Begg gives an amazing presentation of how this world is not our home and encourages us to live by faith and hope in what God has for us as believers. This is an important book for all believers as it is very timely with what is happening in our world right now and helps us interpret that with a biblical perspective.
Here is the official write-up:
The wind has changed. The majority of Western society is no longer made up of Bible-believing Christians. In fact, the wind appears to be blowing hard behind the forces of secularism and paganism. So how do believers find the courage to hold firm to our faith in a culture where we're increasingly becoming strangers and aliens?
Brave by Faith by Alistair Begg looks back to the days of Daniel during his exile in Babylon to encourage us to hold the line of our biblical beliefs. Alistair explains that the message of Daniel is incredibly relevant for us in our generation, not because it maps out a strategy for how to deal with our new minority status but because it teaches us to trust in the eternal God who is sovereign over the affairs of our world, including the rise and fall of kings and nations.
This is one of my favorite books. I highly recommend this to every believer. Here is the official write-up:
This great Christian classic unfolds the theme of Christ our Life. Nee reveals the secret of spiritual strength and vitality that should be the normal experience of every Christian. His fresh spiritual insights on the cross and resurrection of Christ have proven a blessing to many.
I believe this book will truly bless you and help increase your intimacy with God.
This is a great book for parenting. I suppose that's obvious from the title. But truly a fantastic book. In fact, it's one of the books we give parents when they dedicate their children at our church.
Here is the official write-up:
Discover a parenting style that nurtures a healthy family and displaces fear as a motivator for behavior. Learn how to meet your child's three driving inner needs for security, significance and strength with the invaluable gifts of love, purpose and hope.
Modern parents are stressed out and tired. They’ve tried countless parenting books on the market, many of which are harsh, fear-based books that loving parents instinctively reject. As Christians, we frequently believe that the battle for a child's heart and soul is fought on the outside with rigid rules and boundaries, when in fact the opposite is true.
Dr. Tim Kimmel, founder of Family Matters ministries, offers a timeless look at parenting. Rejecting rigidity and checklists that don't work, Dr. Kimmel recommends a parenting style that is the opposite, emphasizing the importance of communicating the unconditional love that Christ offers and affirming this timeless message of grace to one's family. In Grace-Based Parenting, you’ll learn:
- A parenting style that mirrors God's love, reflects His forgiveness, and displaces fear as a motivator
- Why fear-based parenting is a guaranteed method to set children up for failure
- How to provide a safe space for children to develop into functional adults with purpose, security, and inner strength
As we embrace the grace God offers, we begin to give it—creating a solid foundation for growing morally strong and spiritually motivated children. This revolutionary book presents a whole new way to nurture your family.
Andrew Wommack presents a great explanation of our design as a three-part being. We are created in the image of God, who is a spirit. We also have a soul and of course we live in a body. This helps understand that complex situation.
Here is the official write-up:
Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were “born again”? You look in the mirror and see the same reflection—your body hasn’t changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations—that didn’t seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed?
The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you’ll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: “How could God love somebody like me?” and “How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don’t deserve it, I’m not good enough!”
Spirit, Soul & Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!
