Introducing the Africa Study Bible

Publication2

The Need for a New Perspective

Hundreds of millions of Africans know and love Christ. However, most discipleship and biblical resources come from a Western perspective—a culture far removed from the reality of life in Africa. In order to help meet this urgent need, the Africa Study Bible was created.

Alongside the clear and modern English of the beloved New Living Translation, the Africa Study Bible has over 2,400 notes and features that connects Scripture to different cultures throughout Africa. Over 300 writers and editors, from 50 countries, from five major language groups, have all worked on this project to create the most ethnically diverse Bible resource to date.

This life-transforming study Bible will be available to the millions of Christians who deeply desire to fully understand and apply God’s Word through the lens of African culture and heritage.

Timothy Keller’s new book as just arrived

  • Maybe you grew up a Christian and then stopped going to Church?
  • Maybe religion failed you in some way and you never returned to God?
  • Maybe science and skepticism replaced your need for God?

making-sense-of-godBut now you have trouble answering life’s bigger questions…. “Where can I find fulfillment”?“Will we ever have real justice?”…  “Why am I still not satisfied?”…

Maybe it is time to take another look at God?

We live in an age of skepticism.  Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: “Why should anyone believe in Christianity?” or “What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives?”

In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever.  As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope.  Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs.  Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.

New from John Piper

Living in the Light: Money Sex & Power

Money sex and powerWhether we’re rich or poor, married or single, in a position of great influence or not – all of us face temptation in the areas of money, sex and power. They are the dangerous opportunities of our time – opportunities to destroy our own souls, or to experience the true joy of using them for God’s glory.

John Piper shows us that when we have the blazing glory of Christ at the centre of our spiritual solar system, the planets of money, sex and power find their true and beautiful orbits.  This book is for every Christian and will help you to wake up to the all-satisfying glory of God, and discover what you were made for.

Tim Keller’s latest book has arrived

Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with Christ

Prayer (Keller)Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But few receive instruction or guidance in how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act.

With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader.

Two brand new bible studies just arrived.

We have just received a shipment of bible studies including two new DVD-based studies by Priscilla Shirer & Matt Chandler.  Make sure you stock up before the start of the new year.

RECOVERING REDEMPTION : MATT CHANDLER

Recovering RedemptionAll of us have a sense of dissatisfaction. And we typically look for solutions in four areas: self, others, the world, and religion. But none of these will satisfy. Recovering Redemption is about recovering what is lost and broken—our relationship with Jesus—because the gospel is the remedy to fix all things: every struggle, every circumstance, every relationship, everything. 

In this 12-session study, Matt Chandler explains the implications of the gospel with surprising clarity and striking candor. Those who have been Christ followers for years will find that it helps connect the dots of their faith, serving as a bridge between salvation and maturity. It’s also an essential study for new believers.

Workbook: R155.00            DVD: R820.00

Breathe: Priscilla Shirer

BreatheWe are in bondage to busyness. We constantly strive to complete the limitless to-do lists that hinder us from experiencing all that God has for us. We miss the moments because we rush ahead to the next thing. It is time for us to breathe and build margin into our lives for God. Sabbath was intended as a gift, and it is still a gift to us today.

Join Priscilla and discover Sabbath margin – the boundary God enables us to put around things we enjoy so that we never become slaves again.  If you are weary, worn out, and exhausted the concept of Sabbath will change your life.

Just Arrived at CBD – 2 Brand New Titles

Evidence for the Bible – Brian Edwards

Evidence for the BibleThis beautifully produced book with over 200 full colour images, reveals some of the many discoveries that either authenticate or illustrate the biblical narrative.

The text is accurate, informative & assumes no prior knowledge of the world of archaeology. It follows the biblical record from Genesis to Revelation.

Timelines of the Ancient Near East empires, articles on specific thorny issues such as the Pharaoh of the Exodus & the census of Quirinius, an assessment of fallacies in the world of biblical archaeology & a detailed bibliography, all add to the value of this unique volume.

CBD PRICE: R375.00

Bible-Centred Church : Running a Church in the biblical way – John Temple

Bible-Centred ChurchMost evangelical churches claim to be biblical in all they do. Pastors faithfully encourage their congregations to obey Scripture as their expression of their love for Christ. But does this include the way we structure & run our churches? We all too easily slip into starting with the secular law, tradition or culture, regarding the biblical requirements as ‘suggestions’, yet it is the Bible that should be our starting point. We should endeavour to ‘render to Caesar the things that are Caesars’ & observe those elements of secular law, tradition or culture which are not in conflict with the Bible, but reject anything that is contrary to the Bible.

Using a scale from ‘Precepts’ (the Ten Commandments) to ‘Freedoms’ (issues on which the Bible is silent), this book provides practical advice on how to apply the Bible to church organisation.

Children of the Day : 1 & 2 Thessalonians

Your circumstances and conditions are not coincidental in your journey. God’s timing is impeccable. Join Beth Moore on Children of the Day (Leader's Guide)the Thessalonian shores as you face real crises, real medical diagnoses, real afflictions, real relationships, real doubts, real concerns, and real fears. Let’s not brush the sand off quickly. Let’s sit a while and let the tide come in and wash our eyes with fresh vision for 8 beautiful weeks. We don’t have to always see eye-to-eye to be glad we’re side by side. Let’s pat the sand beside us and welcome each other along.

Gather around the letters postmarked Thessalonica. Don’t let pride or timidity come between you and the presence of God. Press in tightly, professing Christ and, yes, in the company of others but also intimately by your name, circumstance, and condition. You have a place here. A purpose. And not one floating like a fleck in the air, loosed and free from your raw realities. This is your journey to the shores of Thessalonica where you’ll write your name and a slice of your biography in the sand.
