Sinossi

Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness is a religious treatise written by South African teacher and Christian pastor Andrew Murray. It tells about why being prideful is terrible when we are Christians. It talks about the relationships between humility and holiness, sin, faith, death to self, happiness and exaltation. According to Murray, humility is the virtue that enables us to be most like Christ and being that, it is the attribute that most Christians need but that most don't want. True humility involves dying to self and letting Christ live in you. Murray claims that death to self enables one to be true self because as we become less, we actually become more as Christ dwells in us in His fullness. He also gives some wonderful examples about how Jesus displayed humility, as well as the examples of humility and lack of humility of his 12 disciples. The book contains many important lessons about being humble before God, but most importantly being humble in our everyday life among others.
"Lord, Teach Us to Pray" is a treatise on prayer loaded with timeless lessons on prayer and can be looked a devotional meditation on the nature of prayer.

Preaching the Passion -...

Gregory Dunstan

From the beginning, Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection have been the heart and foundation of Christian faith. Beginning with Mark, the first account to be written, these six series of sermons interpret the four Gospel narratives of Jesus’ passion and death, taking account of the distinctiveness of each. The author believes that we hear the gospel first in the individual accounts of the evangelists, and neither in any “harmonization” of our own to smooth out the differences, nor even in the work of scholars to establish an historical core behind their divergences. The four Gospels are the authenticated “witnesses” to Jesus’ death and resurrection. The differences between them give rise to a range of legitimate interpretations of Jesus’ death. It is this richness of meaning and understanding that these sermons explore.

 
Taking account of critical scholarship, but written in accessible language, this is an exploration of the foundation of Christian faith for those who would like to know more.

The Emotions of God - Making...

David T. Lamb

The God of the Bible is emotional. Many Christians don't want to associate emotions with God. Emotions feel irrational, and the idea of God experiencing hate, anger, and jealousy can be confusing and problematic. And yet the Bible is full of stories where God expresses deep emotion. Christians are often left wondering how to reconcile the tension of an all-powerful God expressing seemingly uncontrollable feelings. If God is hateful and angry at humanity, is he a God worth believing in? 
 
 
 
In The Emotions of God, biblical scholar David Lamb examines seven divine emotions—hate, anger, jealousy, sorrow, joy, compassion, and love—and argues that it is not only good that God is emotional but also that we as his image-bearers can express emotions in such a way that reflects his goodness to the world. With discussion questions and suggestions for application, Lamb challenges listeners to journey with him into a rich study of the stories surrounding God's emotions so that we might better know God and reflect the beauty of emotion to the world.

God's Chosen People - Israel And...

Leslie Rendell

There is a popular, though false belief today that God has had enough of the Israelites and has abandoned them in favour of the Church. This is commonly referred to as "Replacement Theology". What this means is this. God is saying He no longer wants anything to do with those hard-headed, ungrateful, disobedient, unrepentant, Israelite sinners. He will only deal with the hard-headed, ungrateful, disobedient, unrepentant sinners in the church. If this is the case, I would say God is just swapping one group of sinners for another group of sinners.
One very important thing that we must consider here is this. If God could break the unconditional promises He made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, then He could just as easily do the same thing to an unworthy church. But He will never abandon Israel. God's gifts and calling are irrevocable as we see in.
Rom 11:29 for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.
Christians have understood the promises God made to Israel were all irrevocable. The land God promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob always has been the promised land, and it is a perpetual promise that cannot be broken. Unfortunately, there are more and more Christian leaders who are no longer supporting Israel and are turning their backs on them. Governments are demanding Israel give up some of their land into what is referred to as a two-state solution. This would be no solution at all, because the enemies of Israel want more than the land of Israel. It is their plan to completely destroy every Jew in the world.
This is a topic that will affect the way we view and understand many important doctrines God has concealed in his bible. This book is an attempt to explain some of the important issues that are at stake and the consequences of believing the lie of "Replacement theology".

According to Justin Earley, the answer is a rule of life. The Common Rule's four daily and four weekly habits transform frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbor.
In The Common Rule, you'll find

- doable, life-giving practices to find freedom and rest for your soul,
- expanded content including study guide questions for individual reflection and group discussion, and
- practical, accessible resources for building habits that bring life.
Take the first step toward a life of intentionality and discover how simple, meaningful habits can transform your everyday moments into a rhythm of peace and purpose.
