CHRISTIAN LIVING

TRUE FRIENDSHIP
VAUGHAN ROBERTS

In a culture where online communications and communities can be set up in seconds, it is striking that loneliness is still rampant. Even in the church, a place where we might hope for an oasis of love and acceptance, we can find interactions awkward and superficial.

It is for this reason that Vaughan Roberts takes us back to the Bible, and challenges us to consider our need for true friendship. He is both honest and clear in his approach as he shows us that knowing and being known by God is the hope we need to begin to deal with the sickness of our self love society.

GENTLE AND LOWLY: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers
DANE ORTLUND

“I have read no book that more carefully, thoroughly, and tenderly displays Christ’s heart.”
—Paul David Tripp, President, Paul Tripp Ministries; author, New Morning Mercies and My Heart Cries Out

Christians know what Jesus Christ has done—but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is “gentle and lowly in heart.” This book reflects on these words, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who he is for sinners and sufferers today.

THE SINNING SAINT
RICHARD AND JEANETTE CHIN

Spend a couple of minutes reflecting on your day so far. Have you been a sinner or a saint? Do you know what your answer means or implies? Are you confident in that answer? Sometimes the Christian life is a sweet embrace of God’s holiness. At other times, we seem so thoroughly poisoned by sin that we’re tempted to despair. Our sin can make us question if we’re really Christian, and the wrestle to put it to death can be so difficult that we wonder whether there is any hope of change. Richard and Jeanette Chin have spent years encouraging young Christians to find answers to these questions in the Scriptures. In The Sinning Saint, they share the awesome wonders of who God is, the sobering reality of who we are, and how Christ’s holiness defines us and empowers our daily battle with evil. Come with them to find hope for your worst days, rest for the weary soul, and practical ways to fight temptation. Discover how the gospel of Jesus can transform not just your thoughts and feelings but your whole life, both now and into eternity.

COUNTERFEIT GODS
TIM KELLER

Success, true love, and the life you've always wanted. Many of us placed our faith in these things, believing they held the key to happiness, but with a sneaking suspicion they might not deliver. No wonder we feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. There is only one God who can wholly satisfy our cravings--and now is the perfect time to meet Him again, or for the first time.

In Counterfeit Gods, Timothy Keller shows how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. This powerful message cements Keller's reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time--for both the faithful and the skeptical.

REVOLUTIONARY WORK
WILLIAM TAYLOR

“We spend more time working than doing almost anything else, yet work is often difficult, unsatisfying and frustrating. Sometimes our efforts feel never ending, and the idea that we should be working for the Lord is often squeezed out.

This book, based on a series of sermons by William Taylor, will help you to see that being a Christian can make a difference to how we experience work. William argues that 'the Bible's teaching on work is not only liberating but also exhilarating and refreshingly realistic.'

Whatever type of work you're involved in, you'll find this book full of wisdom on how to be a wise and godly worker.”

THE MEANING OF MARRIAGE
TIM AND KATHY KELLER

FACING THE COMPLEXITIES OF COMMITMENT WITH THE WISDOM OF GOD.

"Incredibly rich with wisdom and insight that will leave the reader, whether single or married, feeling uplifted." --The Washington Times

YOU CAN CHANGE
TIM CHESTER

GOD’S TRANSFORMING POWER FOR OUR SINFUL BEHAVIOUR AND NEGATIVE EMOTIONS

From the Author

“It's about heart change, not behavior change. That's the conviction of Tim Chester as he seeks to help everyday Christians "connect the truth about God with our Monday-morning struggles." This interactive book, laid out in workbook fashion, is for newer Christians struggling with sin and for more mature Christians who have plateaued in their faith as they seek to find victory over sin in their lives.”
