I think there is real hope to be found, in the middle of our deepest traumas, in the good news about Jesus Christ. I also think that there is a place for us to find hope and community within the church. Because of these two beliefs, I truly think, distant though it may be, that we may even get to a place of peace within our souls and a place of forgiveness for those who hurt us so much. This is a book that has no easy answers and will offer none. This is a book that tries to get behind the tough questions of why God permits such abuses to occur in this world. Using his own story of childhood abuse, Mez McConnell tells us about a God who is just, sovereign and loving. A good father who knows the pain of rejection and abuse, who hates evil, who can bring hope even in the darkest place. 'It's not a pagan rags to Christian riches story. It's real, raw and radical. I suspect that there will be as many people shocked by the Bible teaching that Mez wrestles with, as there will be those shocked by the abuse he suffered. With chapters like 'The glorious, wonderful reality of Hell' and 'The terrible reality of Heaven', there is no chance of this book being perceived as comfortable.' - David Robertson, Christian Today https: //christiantoday.com/article/my-favourite-christian-book-of-2019/133774.htm

The purpose of this book is to help and encourage Christians in their battle against sin, and to ensure that they have right and biblical expectations of the ‿normal Christian life‿. Many Christians live with a false burden of guilt and failure. They have been taught that the battle against temptation is futile, and that they will never be able to obey and please God. John Stevens examines the glorious promises of freedom from sin in the gospel because of the death and resurrection of Jesus. The ‿normal Christian life‿ is a ‿victorious Christian life‿; we are daily enjoying far more victory than we might imagine.

Part of the First Steps series For new Christians What Church is and why it matters

Inspiring quotes and inspirational stories will always be popular, but they rarely change lives. After reading the quote, hearing the story, and experiencing some feelings, we often go about our business as usual. What we need is a spiritual resource that helps us focus on heart issues, life change, and the rhythm of the Christian life. This year-long devotional takes 365 questions asked in the New Testament, and shows you how to change your focus, reorder your affections, and reprioritize your loves. It will inspire you to action, not just sweet reflections. It will compel you to love God and others more fervently and selflessly, while weaning your heart off the lies and lures of this world.

History is full of revolutions, led by people willing to stand up against oppression and lead a movement. People who embody the heart values of the movement. Jesus wasn‿t a political or military leader, but he did come to bring the greatest revolution this world has seen. For his fellow revolutionaries, Jesus has paid the greatest price. He brings the most incendiary and divisive message you will ever hear or speak about. Will we follow his lead?

Scotland‿ a land where hill and glen meet surging seas; where ancient and modern stand side‿by‿side; and the birth place and home of many beloved Christian authors,preachers and speakers. Known affectionately as ‿the land of the Book‿,Scotland‿s rich Christian heritage is evident in the volume of writings sent out from this small country to the world. The words of Robert Murray McCheyne,John Knox, Horatius Bonar and many others grace the pages of this book. This year of quotes highlights the authors‿ firm grasp of divine truth, deep experience of the power of godliness and sensitivity of conscience. They all shine through their sayings with great clarity; these are as relevant today as when they were first penned.May the God of our Scottish Christian fathers bless you as you ponder their wisdom, turn it into prayer, and seek grace to live in its light. It is the light of Christ.

The men whose stories appear in this book made up a network of pastors. Through personal contact, or influence, or by reading each other‿s books, they were bound together in a spiritual brotherhood. They shared a common burden to see God glorified, his Son magnified, and his Spirit honoured by wholesome and practical biblical preaching, wise pastoral counselling, church and family strengthening,and faithful Christian living.

2 Kings begins with the succession of Elijah by Elisha and flows largely downward right up to the exile of Judah in Babylon. Amidst the numerous kings and serious failings there are always the vital signs that the true God is still on the throne and working out his purposes in his people and beyond. Like many other books containing Old Testament narrative, 1 and 2 Kings are both well‿known and obscure. Certain stories are very familiar, others seldom preached or taught. It is our hope that this book will greatly help many people dig deeply into this epic narrative and serve people well by teaching it faithfully, relevantly and thoroughly. Teaching 1 and 2 Kings (of which this is the second volume of two) is an important contribution to our ‿Teaching the Bible‿ series. Bob‿s guiding hand will be of great assistance to anyone seeking to understand the familiar passages better and explore the lesser known stories well.
