This week we are promoting 4 titles which will be valuable additions to your library.
Micah (EP Study Commentary) by Dale Ralph Davis
Using his own translation from the Hebrew, Dale Ralph Davis shows how many of the situations Micah addresses are very relevant to the experiences of Christians in various parts of the world in our own day. He presents the prophet, and the faithful remnant to whom he ministered, as an example and encouragement to us all to start living the life of the next age in this present age, and to trust God’s promises, however dark our circumstances may appear, in the assurance that he has a glorious future yet to come for his church.

Out of Formation: Spiritual disciplines of God and men
by Gary Gilley
This book deals with the re-introduction of ancient practices to the modern church. The essence of the book is that God has ordained certain disciplines for our spiritual maturity but men have added their own, not unlike the Pharisees of Jesus day. The believer needs to discern the difference and live according to God’s ordained means. Ancient disciplines, most often practiced within the monastic movement in the early centuries of Christianity, have been dusted off, repacked, and resubmitted to believers as the means whereby spiritual growth is obtained. There is increasing discussion about fasting, journaling, pilgrimage, simplicity, solitude, silence, contemplative prayer, and spiritual direction in Christian literature. What can be learned from this renewed interest in spiritual formation, and what are the dangers?

Pray, Plan, Prepare, Preach: Establishing and maintaining priorities in the ministry.
By Ian Campbell
The New Testament places a great emphasis on preaching—that is, the public heralding of the message of the Word of God. In many churches, preaching has been sidelined by activities, or else has become squeezed out by other pressures. This book is not only a call to faithful, expository ministry that will elevate Christ and both feed minds and move hearts; it also contains important principles to help Christians understand what authentic preaching is, and to help those who are preachers to preach better
CBD PRICE: R75.00

The Busy Christian’s guide to Busyness : Tim Chester
God has promised his rest to all who are weary and burdened (Matthew 11:28). It’s up to us to accept it. While offering practical help to busy Christians, Tim Chester also opts for root-and-branch treatment: it’s not enough just to slow down, or to simplify your lifestyle, you need to deal radically with the things that are driving you.
CBD Price: R150.00
For most of his ministry Canon Andrew White has been involved in reconciliation. “The kind of people I engage with are not usually very nice,” he writes. “On the whole, nice people do not cause wars.” In Baghdad he lives daily with violence, and has conducted too many funerals. He knows what peacemaking costs.
CBD Price: R120.00
Mission Matters: Tim Chester
The word ‘mission’ means ‘sending’. But for many centuries this was only used to describe what God did, sending his Son and his Spirit into the world. World mission exists because the Father wants people to delight in his Son, and the Son wants people to delight in the Father. Tim Chester introduces us to a cascade of love: love flowing from the Father to the Son through the Spirit. And that love overflows and, through us, keeps on flowing to our Christian community and beyond, to a needy world. This book is for ordinary individuals willing to step out and be part of the most amazing, exciting venture in the history of the world.

This book is a landmark look at God’s design for authentic worship. Today’s church cannot seem to agree on what corporate worship should look like. Some choose contemporary forms, others prefer traditional expressions. Yet pop culture or the status quo do not hold the answers. God’s Word does.

Readers will discover that God intends worship to be an unforgettable encounter between Himself and His people – a joyous experience engaging the worshiper’s entire being.

But what does this process look like? How do we begin? And is it even possible to live a life pleasing to God? R.C. Sproul believes that it is not only possible, it is our calling. He delivers an in-depth look at God’s plan and pathway for spiritual maturity. and reveals how every believer can experience authentic, lasting life change through a relationship with God.
