By Dr John Blanchard

Year after year millions of people pitch into a growing whirlwind of activity in preparation for just one day-December 25th. Many of those who join in the excitement have at least some idea that this particular day is called Christmas day because it celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ.  They who are delighted to accept gifts, large or small, refuse to accept the greatest gift ever offered – and one that can be theirs at any time of the year. Here it is: ‘The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord’ (Romans 6:23).

It is time to ask some questions?

• Who was this Jesus?
• Do we actually know when he was born?
• Was there a special purpose in his birth?
• Is there anything special that makes him stand out over the other 60 billion people that have lived on earth?
• Why should we bother to find out?

In this lively booklet Blanchard strips away the myths and tells like it is.  Here is the real story. The dynamic truth that over the centuries has revolutionized countless lives.

These booklets make great evangelical tract at Christmas time, and CBD are offering a great promotion on them.

We also have some some slightly damaged copies with roller impressions on the cover available at reduced prices.  Available from Head Office.
1-49 copies –  R15.00;        50-249 copies – R12.00;         250+ copies – R10.00

	Engaging with Muslims:  John Klaasen Many Christians in the west are fearful of engaging in conversation with Muslims – believing that they will be hostile to Christian beliefs and conversations about the Bible. This short book is designed to help both Christians and whole churches understand more about the variety of Muslims there are living in the West, and to reach out to them with the good news of the Gospel. CBD PRICE: R100.00
	Transgender: Vaughan Roberts There’s been a huge cultural change in the last few decades. Same-sex marriage would have been unthinkable 20 or 30 years ago. Now it’s almost universally accepted in the Western world. Now suddenly the issue of transgender is the next big social, cultural issue that has dominated the headlines.  This short book gives an overview and a starting point for constructive discussion as we seek to live in a world with different values, and love, serve and relate to transgender people. CBD PRICE: R40.00 SPECIAL PROMOTION: BUY 2 FOR R50 & GIVE ONE AWAY
	Camaraderie of Confidence: John Piper This book explores how Charles Spurgeon’s, George Mueller’s and Hudson Taylor’s trust in God’s sovereignty fuelled their faith, enabling them to live in obedience, persevere through hardships and bear fruit for the glory of God.  Says the author, ‘What they have to teach us and show us about the camaraderie of confidence for the glory of God is enormous. Let them lead you into a life of greater faith and joy and radical commitment to Christ’s mission in this world.’ CBD PRICE: R145.00                 PROMOTIONAL PRICE: R100.00
	Intended for Good: Melvin Tinker The Puritans used to say that “providence is the last refuge of the saints.” Melvin Tinker believes that the doctrine of God’s providence should be amongst the first refuges for the Christian seeking strength and comfort. From the early church right through into the nineteenth century, belief in providence was part of the staple diet of professing Christians. For various reasons, the doctrine was eclipsed in the nineteenth century, and yet it still lies on the edges of much Christian thought and practice today.  Melvin Tinker’s exposition of the wonderful facets of that jewel is both pastoral and practical. CBD PRICE: R160.00                  PROMOTIONAL PRICE: R100.00
	Money Counts: Graham Beynon Some of us want to escape money. Some of us want to embrace money. We fear money, and we desire it. We think about it every day, and yet often we try not to think about it. Graham Beynon shows us how to control our money rather than our money controlling us. In this readable, realistic book, he takes us to the gospel to show how we can handle money well in our hearts, so we can handle it confidently and wisely with our hands. CBD PRICE: R115.00

GOD BEHIND THE SCENES: THE BOOK OF ESTHER By: Wayne Barkhuizen Although the book of Esther contains no direct references to God, his fingerprints can be found all over it. In God Behind the Scenes, Wayne Barkhuizen helps us trace the unseen hand of God throughout the Esther narrative, while pointing out how the book is still relevant today. As we walk through the book, we’ll see how God was indeed active in preserving the people through whom the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would one day come.

TROUBLED WATERS: A FRESH LOOK AT BAPTISM AND WHY WE ARGUE By: Jordan Pickering Baptism is an issue that has long divided the Christian church, and in spite of 400 years of discussion, it is an argument that has not made much progress. Using biblical evidence that is not usually associated with baptism, this book examines those foundations, showing how correcting our foundations and challenging our assumptions can suggest a fresh solution to the problem of baptism. It may even provide a way forward to settle the baptism debate once and for all. CBD PRICE: R155.00 BUY NOW
