You Can Receive A Pure Heart Today!

Zacharias Tanee Fomum

Two fundamental truths are demonstrated in this audiobook:that a pure heart is a gift from God which should be treasured as soon as it is received and,that only those who have a pure heart will see God. 
For, having a pure heart and being holy are one and the same thing. 
The audiobook conveys a message on sanctification that is not limited to mere exhortations on the need to have a pure heart. Much more, it is about satisfying the hunger of those who seek to know how to receive a pure heart and keep it continually pure. 
In this audiobook, Z.T. Fomum exposes the vanity of Christless religions by establishing the difference between the old (unclean) heart and the new (pure) heart. He demonstrates that all those who have an impure heart need Jesus, regardless of their religion. 
This audiobook is like a light in the darkness. Listen to it.

Films for All Seasons -...

Abby Olcese

What's your favorite Christmas movie? Easter movie? Pentecost movie? Casual viewers and movie buffs alike have favorite movies to watch at certain times of the year. But for film critic Abby Olcese, movies with spiritual themes aren't just limited to the holiday season. They're part of a deep human need to connect our favorite stories to the natural rhythms of our lives, and to let them shape and give meaning to our experience of the seasons all year long. 
 
 
 
The life of the church is also defined by stories, which we revisit through the pattern of the Christian year. In Films for All Seasons, Olcese invites us to reflect on the great themes of the church calendar through the lens of film. From superhero movies and Star Wars to classics and arthouse films, she chooses movies for each liturgical season and leads us through them with skill and infectious enthusiasm, exploring how each one can inform and deepen our appreciation of its corresponding season. 
 
 
 
Films for All Seasons is more than just a book about movies—it's a model for how we engage with art as Christians. Includes: explorations of popular, classic, and arthouse films and how they relate to liturgical seasons; reflections on the great themes of the church calendar; and discussion questions after each movie designed to facilitate discussion with small groups and friends.

After This

Kevin Wallace

It would be easy to navigate life if every problem, every pain, and every setback came with a telegraph that enabled us to prepare for their arrival. But often our greatest struggles come with the least warning and feel like the greatest threat to our future. Even the most committed Christians find themselves in seasons that challenge their faith, shake their hopes, and make them fearful when thinking of the future. In Acts 8, the church experienced an unprecedented season of persecution, pain, and chaos. One of their leaders, Stephen, had been killed. The believers were being hunted. Their lives were being threatened. In addition to the fear and frenzy, Saul was wreaking havoc in the church. But following this season of being persecuted and terrorized, Acts 9:31 reveals that God changed the trajectory of their lives with two words: after this! After the pain, the fear, the loss, the misery, after the confusion and chaos, God decided it was time to change their season. The season of struggle that seemed like it would last forever had an expiration date! Like the early church, we must see that no matter how tough the situation we've walked through has been, it will not end there! There is a blessing and breakthrough coming after this! After This is an encouraging compass that points us to all that is waiting for us in the next season of our lives. It is a prophetic word revealing that this coming shift is a transition into a time of peace, multiplication, comfort, and strength. After the misery, after the mess, after the divorce, after the breakup, after the bankruptcy, after the failure—even after COVID-19—there is an "after this" coming that will change everything for those who belong to God.

The Beginning of the Story -...

Timothy J. Geddert

Rediscover the essential beginning of the most important story ever told.   Although the Bible contains sixty-six books that usually span over a thousand printed pages, most Christians turn first—and sometimes only—to the New Testament. So often, Christian readers have little idea what to do with the Old Testament, if we read it at all. Sure, we value a few well-known stories and use a few psalms for personal devotions and for worship. Beyond that, many Christians find the Old Testament mostly confusing, troubling, or irrelevant.   But to understand the Bible as the grand story that it is—the story of God’s dealings with humanity and relationship to the whole universe—we must learn to read the first three-quarters of Scripture as Jesus did, and as the New Testament teaches us to do. Walking through the arc and major themes of the Old Testament narrative, author and biblical scholar Timothy J. Geddert guides curious readers of the Word into a fruitful and fulfilling reading of the Bible’s first thirty-nine books, restoring joy in reading and studying the most important story ever told.
