Monday Motivation

10 August 2015Blog, Promotions, Special PromotionsChristian Books

Here are some great books to motivate you this week.

Heaven, How I got here: Colin Smith

What if you woke up one morning knowing that it was your last day on earth? That’s what happened to the thief on the cross, who died a few feet from Jesus. Heaven, How I Got Here is his story, told in his own words, as he looks back from Heaven on the day that changed his eternity, and the faith that can change yours.

CBD PRICE: R90.00

What’s the point of life: Mez McConnell

“Abandoned by my mother, I was often clueless about my father’s whereabouts, while his girlfriend-a cruel, angry, and violent woman ‘looked after us’. She wasn’t nice and would get angry with us kids and hit us. She would get angry a lot”. You might think that this is just another harrowing story about an excruciating childhood but the difference is that Mez discovered a hope that transformed his life. Read more in this booklet.

CBD PRICE: R15.00 (booklet)

John Knox: Steve Lawson

John Knox is one of the most colourful figures in church history and his impact is still felt around the world. The real story of Knox surpasses the best fiction novels. Five hundred years after his death, Steven Lawson seeks in this book to ignite our faith for Jesus through Knox’s story. If you think of Knox as the dull Presbyterian, prepare to think again. Let this seminal figure in the history of the Scottish Reformation inspire you to stand firm in your faith and let God impact your spiritual life.

Yancey explores how we as Christians can contend graciously with moral issues that threaten all they hold dear and challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately wants to know,” What’s So Amazing About Grace”?

Mastering Monday: John Beckett

Christians can keep their church and working lives in separate compartments. They may want and even try to live for Christ in the office, factory or school, but somehow what they learn on a Sunday seems not to bear on what they are doing on Monday. Is being a Christian at work any more than not swearing or stealing paper clips? This book is a bold call to transform the workplace into a place where the kingdom of God is experienced. Beckett recounts some of the struggles he has encountered during his long career in business and management, and how they have enhanced his understanding of his faith and work. He introduces several biblical characters as role models for living out faith in the workplace, and focuses on five themes where biblical truths and business realities intersect. He weaves three principles into his workplace agenda: a personal relationship with the Lord, a closer alignment of faith and work, and the multi-faceted expression of God’s kingdom. Throughout the book, he grounds these ideas in Scripture and applies them in practical ways to the working lives of his readers.

Wrestling with God- Loving the God we don’t understand: James Emery White

If God wants a relationship with us then why is he so distant? If God loves his creation then why is there so much pain? If God is good then why does he plan to consign people to hell? We give ourselves to God and then struggle profoundly with the relationship. But instead of embracing our doubts and confusion we often deny them to ourselves and others. Sometimes we make things worse either by feeling guilty about our struggles or by dismissing them as unimportant or insignificant. We may choose to live on the surface of faith, or become resentful that God does not simply step in to clear up the confusion. This book explores the difficulties all Christians face – of heart, soul, mind and strength, and the struggles to love our neighbour as ourselves. He grapples honestly with our tough questions and disappointments, and helps us take our angers and fears back to the God who loves us.

Normal Price: R125.00 SPECIAL PRICE: R90.00

In the Company of Jesus: Bill Donahue

What images come to mind when you hear the name “Jesus”? Religious icon? Mystical guru? Maybe he’s the figure in the stained-glass window at church, or in the painting hanging in the hallway of your grandmother’s house. Bill Donahue spent years asking these questions, and the Jesus he eventually met was not merely an ancient sage but the living, breathing Son of God. He found himself captivated by Jesus’ teaching, embraced by his love and disarmed by his grace. And so in this book, the author brings to life the many facets of who Jesus is and what his work in the world is all about. Written in forty brief segments with opportunities for personal reflection and dialogue with God, In the Company of Jesus makes ideal daily reading. This book is a companion to the Jesus 101 series and elaborates on the ideas found in those studies.

Normal Price: R140.00 SPECIAL PRICE: R100.00

In Search of a Confident Faith: JP Moreland & Klaus Issler

Many obstacles can get in the way of having a healthy Christian faith. Some of those obstacles are intellectual, but there are emotional, relational and experiential ones as well. Even theological problems can get in the way when the very nature of faith itself is misunderstood. J. P. Moreland and Klaus Issler team up in this book to clear away the barriers to faith by helping you gain a clear grasp of what faith is, identifying the various obstacles to it and providing guidance for growing in your trust in God through Jesus Christ.

An Interview with CH Spurgeon on Creation and Evolution:

By David Harding

C H Spurgeon, who is known to be theologically robust about the verbal inspiration, infallibility, perspicuity and preservation of the text of the Bible, made many forthright statements about Darwinism and his sermons and writings are liberally sprinkled with references to the subject. In this virtual interview, David Harding takes us through his general thoughts on the matter, on science and the Bible, and then his more specific attitudes to science. There is advice to young people and then comments for preachers. What of those who disagree? He had a few words for them too! The appendix explores Spurgeon’s attitude to his own fallibility and is relevant in view of his opinions and judgements about when the world was made.

The Truth and nothing but the Truth: Upholding the Gospel in a doubting age

By John MacArthur

Scripture is clear about the fact that we must be prepared to communicate the truth of the Gospel when given the opportunity – and do it with the right attitude. But even when your tone is gentle and respectful, what, specifically, should you say when asked or confronted about your faith? And what is your overall responsibility to unbelievers as a disciple of Christ? Combining a biblical study of evangelism, a rational defense of Christian beliefs, and a practical approach to evangelism, this book offers a well-rounded perspective that can help you gently and confidently give an answer for the hope you have in Christ.

Praying with Paul: A call to spiritual reformation

By D A Carson

God doesn’t demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules; he only wants his people to know him more intimately, says top-selling author D. A. Carson. The apostle Paul found that spiritual closeness in his own fellowship with the Father. By following Paul’s example, we can do the same. This book calls believers to reject superficiality and revolutionize their lives by embracing a God-guided approach to prayer.

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

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.

Father Forgive : Andrew White

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.
