Unity - Striving Side by Side for the Gospel

Conrad Mbewe

Sinopse

Exploring Unity as a Fruit of the Gospel 
Christians most effectively serve others and advance God's kingdom when they are in biblical unity with one another. Unfortunately, modern Christians seem to be divided on countless issues related to ministry, culture, the church, and even unity itself. Some prioritize organizational unity over gospel truth, while others only seek unity with those who share their same doctrinal beliefs.
In this short, accessible guide, author Conrad Mbewe explores unity as a fruit of the gospel. He finds that biblical unity is only achieved after understanding what God has done through Christ and how it is continuously executed by the Holy Spirit. This biblically centered book encourages readers to respond to Paul's apostolic plea of "standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel" (Phil. 1:27), embracing unity as a valuable, God-given blessing. 

- Encourages Unity: Explores unity as a fruit of the gospel that is only understood through what God has done through Christ and executed by the Holy Spirit
- Practical Study: This concise guide encourages Christians to stand firm in the spirit and in unity with others

Words With God - Trading Boring...

Addison D. Bevere

Do you feel fragmented? Like life is just a series of compartments you have to move between? Like your days are nothing more than to-do lists? Like your spirit is skewed out of alignment? Do you long to feel whole, connected, and fully integrated in mind, body, spirit, and relationship? 
 
 
 
The best and surest way to pursue such wholeness is through prayer. Not the semimindless, I-just-ask-God-for-stuff-then-listen-to-the-deafening-silence kind of prayer you've tried before. That's not working. What you need is authentic connection that leads to harmony with God, yourself, and others. That kind of prayer is what Words with God is all about. 
 
  
 
In this thoughtful book, Addison Bevere breaks prayer out of its religious box and places it at the center of your everyday life, the place where God longs to make himself real to you.

"Let me fall again to prayer and praise."--William Wilberforce 
 
Covering a span from the early 1700s to the early 1900s, Joy of Heaven captures prayers from dedicated believers who lived out their faith in a rapidly changing world. In the midst of upheaval there also came a spirit of revival, particularly during the times we call the First and Second Great Awakenings. The early evangelicals prioritized holy living, seeking God in his word, and sharing their faith. Their prayers are arranged by topic and time―whether praise or petition, morning or evening―so that your prayer life can be interwoven with the rich tapestry of prayers of faithful Christians from the past.  
 
By praying along with Amy Carmichael, Charles and Susannah Spurgeon, Jonathan Edwards, John and Charles Wesley, and many others, we learn from those who came before us and build a stronger connection with our heritage--as well as to the Lord who spans the centuries.

Have Faith In God - In a...

Leslie Rendell

Having Faith In God
Having faith is vital for us, but how do we define it? I think we will find the answer in Hebrews 11, the faith chapter. Every one mentioned here simply took God at His word and obeyed His commands. And for this, they were all remembered for their faith. Believing the word of God and acting on what we know is living by faith. Faith is not hoping something will happen, faith is knowing that it will happen.
So now the questions are, “How do we get this faith?” and “How do we increase in faith?” Our faith is not just intellectual knowledge and agreement. It is more than just acknowledging certain facts about Jesus, the Bible, the resurrection or anything else from scripture. It is taking our entire life and making a stand that is based on our confidence in these facts. Genuine faith is life changing.
My aim in this book is to give you a start in your life of “having faith in God”. This will be for you a lifelong pursuit, not something you can do today and then forget about it. No, the road will be long, with many twists and turns along the way. You will inevitably encounter opposition to your newfound faith in God the whole way.
As you grow in faith, there will be some changes to your lifestyle. Some will be only minor changes. Others may be massive as you learn how God wants you to live. But all of them will be not only necessary but worthwhile.
Keeping your eyes and mind on the end goal of being in God’s kingdom will give you the courage to face these troubles.
If you feel the need to find God, to find the way to having faith in God today, then the only place you will find the answers is in the Bible. Please use this book as a stepping stone to your faithful future and may our Almighty God bless you on your way down that road.

The Cost of Ambition - How...

Miroslav Volf

New York Times bestselling author Miroslav Volf on why striving for superiority is at odds with the Christian faith 
 
Christianity Today 2025 Book Award Winner (Popular Theology) 
 
"[A] smart take on a world obsessed with forward motion."--Publishers Weekly 
 
Many people believe that ambition--striving to be better than others--improves us and advances society. But what if it actually makes us worse? 
 
In The Cost of Ambition, world-renowned theologian and award-winning author Miroslav Volf argues that striving for superiority has negative consequences in all domains of life. Instead, we should strive for excellence. Volf explores 
 
● what Søren Kierkegaard, John Milton, and the apostle Paul say about the cost of ambition; 
● how we can achieve excellence rather than strive for superiority; 
● how to stop being plagued by our own sense of inferiority to others; and 
● why Christians must retrieve a humbler way of life. 
 
Volf also examines what the teachings of Jesus and the stories in Genesis say on the matter. Volf explains how striving to be better than others devalues our achievements, surroundings, and relationships by turning them into mere means to an empty goal. This pursuit, though widely accepted in modern life, is at odds with key Christian convictions. 
 
After exposing the toxicity of ambition, Volf uses contemporary examples to guide us toward striving for excellence.
