  Built For Love - A Powerful Look...

  Love is a big deal! The term “love” is so generically thrown around, and we may naturally first think of it in romantic terms, but it’s much more. It’s a part of all our lives in various forms and countless ways. It profoundly affects us, and how we receive and give love significantly affects others. 
  Throughout life, we will experience love through our familial and romantic relationships, friendships, and, most importantly, our relationship with God. Only by having a relationship with Christ can we effectively and rightly love others. 
  To help you get the most out of this book, I will invite you at the end of each chapter to pause and answer specific questions about love and how it pertains to you. We all need more pauses–a moment or two to digest and reflect on what we’re learning.

  The Buddha’s Practical Teaching

  John D. Ireland

  "To summarise what has been indicated above, our aim should be complete deliverance from suffering, or stated positively, the unconditioned and perfect happiness of Nibbāna; to be differentiated from other forms of happiness which are imperfect because ‘conditioned’ by impermanence, and thus liable to revert to suffering when circumstances or ‘the conditions’ change. By an understanding of the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism we are set in the right direction to achieve this aim. But to reach this understanding the mind must be carefully prepared by moral discipline and other virtues, released from the grip of worldly pleasures and emotions and reach a state of clarity and purity through meditation and wise discrimination. Then by reflection on the three characteristics of existence, the impermanence, suffering and absence of an underlying entity, this understanding will arise giving assurance and confidence. The practical nature of the Buddha’s teaching is that it leads one gradually step by step, like a building raised brick by brick upon secure foundations." —John D. Ireland

  The complete life of Jesus using only the exact words from the Bible, woven to seamlessly read like a book. This extraordinary work combines the four unique eyewitness accounts of Jesus' life into a single, unified and harmonious narrative of Jesus' Every Word and Deed. Fifty-nine Old Testament prophecies are also included where fulfilled in Jesus' life. Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council in Washington, DC states: "Finally there is a resource that combines the four Gospels into one continuous and compelling account that makes the story of Jesus even more accessible to those who seek Him. Additionally, Old Testament prophecies that foretell Christ's words and deeds are inserted in a way that enriches the whole and everything is color coded for easy identification. I commend John Burkhalter for his labor-intensive effort that promises much reward for those who engage it." Students and scholars alike will enjoy this easy to read but comprehensive work that offers insights for everyone. The entire teachings and actions of Jesus are recorded in this easily readable format which also contains a mirrored Scripture Reference Section in the back showing where every word is found by book, chapter and verse. The eBook version allows the reader to easily toggle back and forth between the book and reference sections. Separately, a Readers Theater version of Jesus' Every Word and Deed presents the work in an interactive medium for verbalizing all the roles in bible study groups, podcasts, plays and more.

  Uncovering What Religion Has to...

  Russell M. Stendal

  Peter made all the classical, Christian mistakes. He spoke before thinking, lacked faith, and even denied the Lord Jesus Christ. But Peter had a moldable, open heart, and the Lord knew it. All the mistakes Peter made helped him understand what other Christians face, and his writings both warn and encourage readers today. Too many of today’s religious entities and Christian individuals are functioning on spiritual autopilot, rarely pausing to pray in earnest and seek the Lord’s will for their lives. Peter says if we lack the things of the Lord, we are blind and walk by feeling the way with our hands (2 Peter 1:9). His writings serve as an eye-opener for those who want to live for the Lord completely and without reservation. About the Author Russell Stendal, a former hostage of Colombian rebels, is a lifelong missionary to that same group in the jungles of Colombia. He is an influential friend to military and government leaders in Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, and the United States. Russell’s ministry shares the gospel via twelve radio stations, hundreds of thousands of Bibles, books, and movies distributed through airplane parachute drops, and numerous speaking engagements for groups of leaders, prisoners, and individuals. Russell goes wherever the Lord leads, whether it’s to speak with a president or to go deep into the jungle to help an individual in trouble. He has witnessed thousands commit their lives to Christ.

  An Expository Journey through the Book of James Helps Christians Move from Double-Mindedness to Wholeness
  Everyone longs for wholeness and honesty in their lives. In reality, people are often double-minded—pulled between good and bad—in their speech, actions, and character. These rifts can be spiritually and relationally devastating. So how does God heal a fractured heart?
  This analysis of the New Testament book of James helps readers identify double-mindedness in their own lives and understand God's grace as he "pulls apart the divided heart to make it whole." Explaining James's challenging epistle chapter by chapter, David Gibson helps readers embrace the painful yet profound process of redemption, defeat double-mindedness, and experience wholeness in every area of their lives.
  
  - Theologically Rich: Thoroughly examines major themes in the book of James, including double-mindedness, pride, spiritual maturity, suffering, and God's grace
  - Winsome and Accessible: This clear, expository study is ideal for pastors and laypeople, including college students and those involved in small groups or adult Sunday School
  - Written by David Gibson: Author of Living Life Backward: How Ecclesiastes Teaches Us to Live in Light of the End 
  - Includes Study Questions: Each chapter ends with questions for deeper reflection
