 Transformed by the Spirit is a culmination of seven and a half years of formal study in Spiritual Formation & Theology between my undergraduate and graduate work at Multnomah University and Seminary School. The main issue that Transformed by the Spirit addresses is the need for us, as Christians, to develop our relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, through the various spiritual disciplines and through the power of the Holy Spirit. We are in Union with Christ at conversion, yet we will not be fully perfected in Christ until He returns; therefore, we must always work towards Christlikeness in an effort to become fully mature Christians who comprise a fully mature church (Ephesians 4:1-16).Endorsement:In Transformed by the Spirit, Craig Prather takes our hands and our hearts and leads us on a spiritual journey filled with historical examples of fellow travelers, rules for the road, obstacles to avoid, and travel tips to stay connected to the One who knows exactly what speed we need to go in our journey of becoming like Jesus.

by Katie Piazza

 Victorious records the true story of a little girl's battle with an aggressive brain tumor through the personal lens of her mother's journal. Told primarily through direct journal entries, readers are ushered into the heart of a mother whose world is shattered overnight when her previously healthy ten-week-old daughter is diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. This diagnosis begins a twenty-one month battle for life. Yet in spite of the continual threat of darkness, the story is permeated with light, with love and even with joy. Readers are welcomed into a story of victory that ends in a paradoxical triumph. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT VICTORIOUS: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow..."

As Tim & Katie's pastor, I was privileged to witness firsthand their devotion and love to Christ and heartened to see our God's comforting and sustaining grace to them in such a difficult providence. As with all journeys in the valley, theirs was bitter/sweet. Bitter in that it caused pain and heartache, sweet in that this pain was not wasted.

Making Of A Godly Warrior - Through Relentless Obedience

by Scott A Harris

14,56€ + 10% CARD

 Although I attended church most of my life, I was lost: I looked at the sky and asked, "Who are you? Tell me what to do, and I will do it." Those words and the actions that followed unlocked the pathway to knowing God, hearing His voice, and reaping the rewards of doing His Word. True personal stories reveal the truth of God's Word, the importance of understanding it, and the spiritual progress accomplished by actually doing it. Any reader will identify with the journey because there is nothing special about the author, yet the responses from God are extraordinary.Endorsements: Scott's spiritual journey and the building of his relationship with the one true God is one that any man or woman can relate to.

The personal examples and revelations that the Lord imparted to Scott through people, places and circumstances shows us that our Lord meets us right where we are, and teaches us what we can do to follow him and have a more intimate relationship with him. I pray the Lord will use this book to lead many souls to Christ and I thank God for Scott's perseverance and discipline in completing this work. Nancy A. Cline, Senior Human Resources Leader.Scott Harris is evidence that God will take an honest challenge!

He wants others to be able to discover God is faithful to change and use us if we are serious to follow His ways.

Don'T Let Sand Fool You

 Throughout life, we get comfortable. Suddenly, you get jaw-dropping, unexpected sand grains (news). Our belief in God should be fierce enough that no matter what comes our way, it does not shake our faith. Our experiences should not change our faith in Him. When life happens, we must decide-opportunity to grow or surrender to the enemy? It's our choice to use those trials for God's glory or to waste them. You will never know how fierce you are until a simple grain of sand embedded in you is turned around by an all-powerful God transforming you into a cherished pearl.Endorsement: Ingrid has captured the very essence of Transformation.

Untouched Part

by Eunice-Pauline Olatunji

 What are some important lessons you learned from the 2020 lockdown? Here are some lessons I learned: - History is the greatest asset of our generation, but our most neglected gift.- We are not what we see when we stand in front of a mirror. The real person inside is much more valuable and more precious than temporary externalities. - I can and will survive without using cosmetic make-up for seven months. Who knew!- I owned too many clothes, shoes, and other accessories. I did not need most of them while working from home. - Many are the plans in a person's heart, but only The Lord's counsel will stand.- Personal branding, self-love and other self-related psychobabbles can only go so far. Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdown demonstrated the limits of our human capacity.- Social distancing between us and our devices, earthly possessions and worldly plans may not be such a bad idea after all.- Death is inevitable. How prepared are we to meet our Creator?The Untouched Part touches all the parts in and about us that we can neither see nor handle, and will direct you in the course of knowing your true self beyond pretty pictures and earthly possessions, using the only Instrument that can: The Holy Bible.Endorsement: It is particularly heartening to attest to a book birthed by months of dwelling in God's presence. I recommend it for all searching for answers for the often-neglected part of the Christian Faith, for those seeking for something different which is vital for the 21st Century Christian. It is a must read! -Tunde Olanipekun (MFA), Senior Pastor at The Redeemed Christian Church of God.About the Author: y Eunice-Pauline is a Christian whose heart aches for the unsaved. Once lost and now found, her mission is to spread the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ and save souls in a dying generation without changing a single point from what has been laid down since the days of the Apostles. She is a fool for the Word of God, as she believes and stands on the infallibility of every word of God in the Holy Bible. A defender of the ancient Christian Faith, Eunice-Pauline has decided that to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Not So By Myself - A Safe Space Where God Doesn'T Fix The Loneliness, But Sits With You Instead

by Peyton Garland

13,24€ + 10% CARD

 "God never leaves you nor forsakes you." I've heard that before. "Jesus will leave the 99 to come after you." I've heard that one too. Meanwhile, fear creeps up when life hurls a season of loneliness our way and poof! Churchy sayings hold as much weight as thin air. Believe it or not, God is cheering us on and inviting us to thrive amidst the loneliness. Yes, it's weird and scary, but this emptiness is a safe space where you get to hear the God of everything speak the loudest. You're safe because God is so good at owning goodness in the midst of our dank, confused, lonely seasons, and because of Him, you aren't so by yourself.Endorsement: One of the biggest lies we've learned to embrace is that we're alone in our pain. It keeps us trapped in a cycle of guilt, shame, and isolation so that even when we're struggling, we know how to put on a brave face and pretend everything is just fine. Peyton Garland is here for exactly none of that. She has lived with the agony of isolation, both physically and mentally, and is here to show us that just when we think we can't make it another second, there will always be a hope we can hold on to.

 Assessing Missionary Readiness Through Character, Conviction, and Competency Should I become a missionary?

Battling Unbelief - Defeating Sin With Superior Pleasure (Revised Edition)

by John Piper

~~17,74€~~ 15,97€ 10% OFF

 Severing the Root of Sin with the Promises of God No one sins out of duty. We sin because it offers some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us—until we believe that God is more desirable than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Only the power of God's superior promises in the gospel can emancipate our hearts from servitude to the shallow promises and fleeting pleasures of sin. Pastor John Piper shows how to sever the clinging roots of 8 common sins that ensnare us: anxiety, pride, shame, impatience, covetousness, bitterness, despondency, and lust. Delighting in the bounty of God's glorious gospel promises will free us for a less sin-encumbered life, to the glory of Christ. Rooted in solid biblical reflection, this book aims to help guide you through the battles to the joys of victory by the power of the gospel and its superior pleasure. - Practical: fresh introduction and conclusion paired with distilled application chapters from John Piper's larger volume, Future Grace - Explores Sanctification: Helps readers put sin to death and trust in the power of God instead - Written by John Piper: Author of Desiring God; Don't Waste Your Life; Providence; and more

What'S Wrong With The World

by G.K. Chesterton

~~17,99€~~ 16,19€ 10% OFF

 'The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.' First published in 1910, What's Wrong with the World is a brilliantly funny collection of essays that incisively investigate the various ills of society and the world at large. Examining several social and political trends of the time, Chesterton discusses contemporary discourse around family, gender roles, education, politics and more. In good humour, he defends the traditional family unit, praises women's unique role in society and promotes an education that can be both creative and moral in its teachings. He scrutinises the forces of modernity, bureaucracy and ideological reform, spiritedly arguing that the problem is not the structural powers at play in society, but the individual's failure to act rightly. Compelling and easily digestible, these essays cement Chesterton as a master of wit and social critique. This audiobook edition is brilliantly read by Malk Williams. Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936) was an English novelist, philosopher, journalist and critic. A Christian apologist, he is famed for creating the fictional priest-detective Father Brown. His writing was also renowned for his sense of humour: known as 'the prince of paradox', Chesterton often turned common sayings upside down. Admired by several of his literary contemporaries, Chesterton's work is still widely read today.

 Surprising Wisdom for Living Well in a Broken World Enjoying the human journey through this world can seem impossible. So much is going wrong in these dark days. And the daily personal demands never let up. Who has the time—much less the freedom of heart—to play, to laugh, to delight? What's more, those following Christ can also feel duty-bound to live in sacrificial austerity. But God's strategy for wise living includes bold enjoyment. In fact, any "Christianity" that feels embarrassed about enjoying God's good gifts dishonors him and leaves Christians with less to give their suffering world. With a pastor's heart, Ray Ortlund invites readers to embrace God's strategy for facing reality and living well. Meditating on Ecclesiastes 11:9-10, Ortlund explains how following Christ here in this world is a nuanced mix of both suffering and happiness. Ecclesiastes is a gospel call to accept the suffering and to savor the happiness—and savor it boldly. - Delivers a Gospel Call to Enjoyment: Pastor Ray Ortlund reminds readers that God not only allows us enjoyment but even commands it - Wise Insights: Offers an extended meditation on Ecclesiastes 11:9-10, enriched with personal anecdotes and wisdom from Christians of the past - Countercultural: Affirms the actual joys God has placed in everyday life, defying today's cynical and sometimes hyperspiritual culture

by Amy Laura Hall

~~26,99€~~ 24,29€ 10% OFF

 Bloomsbury presents Erecting the Pulpit: Muscular Christianity from Teddy Roosevelt to Donald Trump by Amy Laura Hall, read by Jennifer Woodward Examines a powerful yet overlooked form of Christian Nationalism—one that fuses faith, masculinity, capitalism, and political power under the guise of moral leadership. Beginning with Theodore Roosevelt's "Muscular Christianity" and tracing the conceit of faithful and fit male leadership through figures like Billy Graham and cultural institutions like National Prayer Breakfasts and modern mega-churches, and flourishing under the administration of Donald Trump, Erecting the Pulpit reveals how religious rhetoric has been wielded to sanctify power and divide communities. Drawing on her firsthand experiences and years of conversations with participants—from Cowboy Churches to NASCAR chaplaincies and storefront churches with folding chairs to meetings with the parachurch group Young Life—theologian Amy Laura Hall examines the cultural and political forces that have made evangelicalism "ambient" while consolidating wealth and influence. At a time when politicians are expected to pray in public and religious themes shape public policy, Hall offers a vivid, incisive exploration of how religious expressions of faith in the United States have been strategically repackaged to sustain political and economic hierarchies and keep women subservient to men.

In this, the final published work of his Archepiscopate, Dr Williams has assembled a series of chapters on matters of immediate public concern and the relationship of Christianity to these issues. Among his topics are 'Has Secularism Failed?: Europe, Faith and Culture', 'Human Rights and Religious Faith', 'Changing the Myths We Live By', 'Housekeeping: The Economic Challenge', 'The Gifts Reserved for Age: Perceptions of the Elderly', and 'Analysing Atheism'.
