The book provides the necessary biblical knowledge, cultural awareness, and practical insights for every Christ follower to participate in the privilege of partnering with the Spirit in the world.

The second part addresses its biblical and theological foundations, while the third part offers a historical overview. The fourth part focuses on cultural contexts and effective communication of the gospel. The book concludes with contemporary issues that offer practical guidance in the ministry of evangelism. Pedagogical tools--including case studies, sidebars, figures, and reflection questions--help students retain information.

100 Holy Hours for Women

CSFN Mother Mary Raphael...

Christ waits for us, every day, in the Eucharist. But, in the chaos of our lives, we often find it difficult to draw near to him. Even when we make the time to be in his presence, we lose focus, become distracted, or grow impatient with ourselves.
100 Holy Hours for Women provides a solution with its collection of one hundred Eucharistic meditations, giving inspiration for directed, efficacious prayer before Our Lord in the Eucharist. Whether you are a mother, a single woman, or a consecrated religious, this spiritually uplifting work is a valuable resource for cultivating an intimate relationship with our Eucharistic Lord.
Originally written as a religious sister’s guide for daily adoration, 100 Holy Hours for Women contains a plethora of profound spiritual insight into the mystery of the Eucharist. Each of the mediations focuses on a single verse from Scripture. The first part of the mediation explores the deeper implications of the verse, especially in light of the Eucharist. Then, the second part of the mediation takes the form of a personal examination and a prayer, with questions and exhortations to encourage the adorer to look at and cultivate her own spiritual life.
These meditations draw from the entirety of Sacred Scripture, particularly following Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. Through them, learn to look to the Virgin Mary and the angels as models of perfect adoration.
100 Holy Hours for Women encourages Christian women, of every calling and stage of life, to enter into quiet, loving conversation with Jesus. This book enables all to comprehend the love of Christ, who gave us his Body and Blood that we might come closer to him. Only in the Eucharist can we find the perfect example of total humility, self-sacrificial love, and holy submission. Only through the Eucharist can we hope to attain happiness in this world and the next.

Think Biblically (2nd edition) -...

John MacArthur, Abner Chou

23 Essays Demonstrate How God's Voice Guides Every Area of Life, from Science and Economics to Marriage and the Arts
What we think shapes who we are. That's why the Bible tells us, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Romans 12:2a). In a time of differing voices competing for our allegiance, we must learn to "think biblically" so we can distinguish good from evil.
In this collection of essays, John MacArthur and other teachers from the Master's College confront the false worldviews that dominate our postmodern world. The authors provide models for cultivating a biblical mindset on worship, psychology, gender, science, education, history, government, economics, and literature. This second edition includes new chapters on hermeneutics, mental illness, complementarianism, and Christian liberal arts. Written for students as well as teachers and pastors, Think Biblically helps us navigate today's culture with our thoughts and lives centered on Christ. 

- Biblical and Practical: Edited by John MacArthur and Abner Chou, these theologically profound essays guide readers to discern God's will and obey his word
