Andrew Murray With Christ In The...

Godlipress Team

"LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!" LUKE 11:1
"Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray. He did not speak much of what was needed to preach well but spoke much of praying well. To know how to speak to God is more important than knowing how to speak to man. Not power with men, but power with God is the first thing. Jesus loves to teach us how to pray.
What do you think, my beloved fellow disciples? Would it not be just what we needed, to ask the Master to give us a month-long course of special lessons on the art of prayer? As we meditate on the words He spoke on earth, let us yield to his teaching, in the fullest confidence that, with such a teacher, we shall make progress. Let us take time not only to meditate but to pray. To busy ourselves at the foot of the throne, and be trained in the work of intercession." —Andrew Murray
"With Christ in the School of Prayer" offers a structured series of 31 short, concise, practical, and powerful lessons on prayer to fill the listener's heart with a hunger for God's presence.

Grace Abounds - God's Abundance...

Walter Brueggemann

The Bible often associates God's grace with abundance. While it is sometimes equated with forgiveness, more often grace is described much more broadly in the texts of ancient Israel: as the divine self-giving that stands against various forms of scarcity. We are bombarded daily with the idea that there is not enough of anything—housing, jobs, resources. By contrast, the Bible shows again and again how God meets our needs abundantly but in such a way that unveils our profound ongoing need for God and for one another. The first part of Grace Abounds lays out fundamentals of biblical grace by focusing on some of our most basic needs—to eat, to use land, to find shelter—and four different types of responses from people in Scripture struggling to survive experiences of exile and forced migration. In the second part of the book, Brueggemann advocates for specific biblical practices that are appropriate to the reality and experience of God's grace and grace-full relationships with fellow creatures: keeping Sabbath, making doxology, bestowing blessing, offering forgiveness, and realizing reconciliation. 
 
 
 
Questions for reflection are included at the end of each chapter, making this book ideal for individual or group study.

The Third Temple

Yishai Sarid

Who will rule the Holy Land, and at what cost? 
 
 
 
In a near-future Jerusalem, harrowing omens plague the city: a desecrated altar, an unbearable stench, a rampant famine. Shaken but devout, Jonathan, the royal family's third son, continues to hold services and offer animal sacrifices at the prophesied Third Temple, built to consecrate the founding of the new Kingdom of Judah. His father, Israel's self-appointed king, has abolished the Supreme Court. The Torah is the law of the land, and only people of the Jewish faith are allowed in. When war breaks out and an angel of God begins to torment Jonathan, warning him of his father's sacrilege, the foundations of the young priest's faith—and then his world—begin to give way. 
 
 
 
Winner of the prestigious Bernstein Prize, The Third Temple plunges listeners into a tempest of fanaticism, betrayal, and destruction. Where does the power of man end and the power of God begin? With chilling resonance, this vivid novel from one of Israel's leading authors sounds an unforgettable warning amidst rising extremism.

The Truth Will Set You Free -...

Robert W. Sayre Sr

If you asked an American, "Who is the prince of this world", most will say, Jesus Christ. However, that is not what the Bible says: (John 12:31) "Now is the time for judgement on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out." John 16:11) "About Judgement, because the prince of this world now stands condemned." 
Another misconception man has is the God gave him freewill in order that he could make a decision for Christ in his life. God chooses us not the other way around! (Luke 10:22) "All things have been committed to me by my father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." 
The above two myth mentioned above are just part of the eleven myths covered in this book: "THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE, ELEVEN MYTHS SATAN USES TO DECEIVE MAN". These lies exposes Satan's plan he uses to destroy man's relationship with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. 
Don't accept my words, but check them out yourself. The Apostle Paul says that you should be like the "Bereans" (Acts 17:11) "Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the scripture every day to see if what Paul said was true." 
Satan lies and wants to take as many people to Hell with him, where he and his followers will spend eternity.
