Resilient Faith - Learning to Rely on Jesus in the Struggles of Life

Sarah Allen, Lewis Allen

Sinopse

Lewis and Sarah Allen Teach Young Christians How to Approach Difficulties and Disappointments Biblically
We all encounter problems and challenges on a daily basis, ranging from small things—traffic, losing your keys, or running late—to much bigger issues—job insecurity, health issues, and relationship struggles. What should a believer in Christ do in the face of such adversities? 
Authors Lewis and Sarah Allen propose that while the world may teach us one way to approach challenges, there is a better way—complete dependence on Christ and pursuit of wise living. With the help of the Holy Spirit, Christians are able to live more joy-filled lives in the midst of adversity. In a conversational and personal tone, the Allens walk through key biblical passages as they relate to challenges and share stories, case studies, and illustrations to encourage us to rely on Christ and commit to his church in the battle of Christian life.  

- Ideal for New or Young Christians: Especially those feeling discouraged by doubt and disappointment
- Engaging and Interactive: Includes case studies and illustrations, with questions and prayers at the end of every chapter 
- Practical and Realistic: Readers will receive biblical direction for applying these principles to their daily lives

The Jesus You Can't Ignore -...

Anônimo

  
Do you have any idea who Jesus really is? 
“What you think of Jesus Christ will thoroughly color how you think about everything else,” writes John MacArthur. 
This is a critical truth in the life of every believer. Our view of Jesus affects the way we view God, the world, ourselves, and every one of our decisions. 
These days, Jesus is often portrayed as a pacifist, a philanthropist, or a docile teacher. He strikes a plastic—and sometimes pathetic—pose in the minds of many. Some prefer the meek and mild Jesus who heals the sick, calms fears, and speaks of peace and goodwill. These things do represent a portion of the Messiah. But tragically, too many have never been exposed to the rest of him. They have never seen a full 360-degree view of the Savior. Until now. 
Like an investigative journalist on a mission, best-selling author and teacher John MacArthur walks through the gospel records and shows you a remarkable and compelling picture of the Jesus you can’t ignore.

The Ten Commandments

Arthur W. Pink

The Ten Commandments by Arthur W. Pink is a short introduction to God’s Moral Law. Pink shows that the Moral Law is still binding on all men today, that humanity will be judged for its violation, and that it is the rule of life and means of sanctification for the Christian. At one time, this was the prevailing understanding in Christianity.God gave the commandments for His own glory and also for the good of man. Each commandment has both a positive and negative force. If something is forbidden, the opposite virtue is enjoined. The chapter on the Fifth Commandment has a helpful section directed to parents and children. This little book is particularly relevant to the current struggles of our modern Godless and antinomian era, and it is vital that we return to these truths.This audiobook is read from the original as much as possible, with only minor changes to make it understandable to a listener.
