Sinossi

Accessible Guide from 9Marks Equips Believers to Steward Their God-Given Authority
In every position of power—from executives and world leaders to church elders and parents—lies the potential for life-giving leadership or destructive corruption. Driven by sinful pride or opportunism, many people abuse their God-given authority, harming the ones they're called to lead and contributing to a skeptical attitude toward leadership. The answer to bad authority, however, is not no authority, but good authority—the kind that, according to Scripture, causes those under it to flourish.
 
In this compelling guide from 9Marks, Jonathan Leeman shows that authority, done biblically, is not only good but essential to human flourishing. Through Scripture and many first-hand stories, he presents 5 attributes of positive authority and warns against sinfulness that corrupts leadership. Dozens of study questions throughout the book guide readers as they think through each chapter individually or with a group. Pointing to Jesus as the ultimate model of good authority, Leeman equips readers to pursue godly influence in their personal and professional lives. 

- Applicable: Challenges readers to identify weaknesses in their own leadership style and offers 5 attributes of godly authority
- Engaging: Filled with compelling stories that illustrate key points
- A Great Resource for Pastors, Employers, Officers, and Parents: Helps readers understand how to practice godly authority in church, at home, and in the workplace
- Created for Individual or Group Study: This edition features study questions in each chapter of the book, encouraging deeper reflection and discussion

    The Language of the Soul -...

    For over fifteen years, writer Jeff Crosby has been searching for a language of the soul—a way to articulate our deepest longings. Through the years he gathered clues from within global music styles, from different cultures, from his own Christian tradition and its sacred texts—and from deep within himself. 
 
 
 
A lover of words, he sought not only to translate our longings into words but to understand why these seemingly universal yearnings have long remained unnamed. Now, in this book, Crosby gifts us with those so-often-untranslatable desires of our hearts, guiding us to finally find the words and luminous insights for our own longings for home, for friendship, for forgiveness, and for transformation—and how God meets us in the midst of these longings. Eschewing easy answers, Crosby begins the naming process, helping us to make connections—and to recognize, within ourselves and our faith, our heart's true home.

    Rightly understood and rightly communicated, the Christian faith is one of great joy. It is an invitation to God's kingdom, where tears are replaced by laughter and longing hearts find their purpose and their home. 
This is the heart of the gospel: God's search to reclaim us and love us as his own. But have we truly grasped this? Those of us who have disdained Christianity as a religion of bigotry--have we repudiated the genuine article or merely demonstrated our own prejudice and ignorance? Those of us who are Christians--have we deeply apprehended the mission of Jesus, and do our ways and character faithfully reflect his beauty? From the nature of God, to the human condition, to the work of Jesus, to God's coming kingdom, and all that lies between, how well do we understand the foundational truths of Christianity and their implications? 
The Faith is a book for our troubled times and for decades to come, for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is the most important book Chuck Colson and Harold Fickett have ever written: a thought-provoking, soul-searching, and powerful manifesto of the great, historical central truths of Christianity that have sustained believers through the centuries. Brought to immediacy with vivid, true stories, here is what Christianity is really about and why it is a religion of hope, redemption, and beauty.

    This installment of the "Morsels from the Father’s Table" series is a deep dive into the heart and soul of being a believer. It is not for the weak of faith or faint of believing heart. It is for those who want to be challenged by where they stand in their faith or by seekers who want something else besides the sugary sweet, ultra faith or prosperity messages. The format is the same as the other booklets in the series in that a faith-based prose or poem, Biblical scripture, and a challenge to the reader make up each of the thirty entries.

    How can we know God’s will if we don’t pray His prayer? After reading this book, you will understand the intricacies of the Lord’s Prayer and how it was designed to powerfully affect your relationship with the heavenly Father. No prayer is better known—or more misunderstood—than the prayer Jesus provided in His Sermon on the Mount. The words, though simple, can transform the way Christians pray and live. With remarkable insight, wisdom, and depth, respected theologian R. T. Kendall uncovers the transforming truths contained within each line of this familiar prayer, including the following:  When and why to pray the Lord’s Prayer  How to know and pray the will of God  How unanswered prayer can be a sign of God’s favor  How the Lord’s Prayer can be misused  Why we should pray at all  This book will give readers not only a model for prayer but also a revolutionary way to pray effectively while drawing closer to the Father.
