Stop Asking Jesus into your Heart

This was one of the titles of a book written by J.D. Greear, who visited Gauteng earlier this month.  If you missed out on hearing him speak, here are some of the titles that were on the book table.
Stop Asking Jesus into your Heart

Lack of Assurance is epidemic amongst Evangelical Christians today. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation?
Hardcover Book: R220.00
Available as a Bible Study:     R185.00 (Workbook)    R985.00 (DVD)

 Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart (HC)
Jesus Continued

How many of us consider our connection to the Holy Spirit so strong and so real that we would call his presence in us better than Jesus beside us?  In clear and practical language, he explains how any follower of Jesus can have a satisfying, powerful relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. God wants to be vitally present in and through his people. This truth, though central, is sadly neglected. This generation of Christians – mission-driven but burned out, weary, and longing for joy – desperately needs to recover the dynamic presence of God. And the good news is that God wants us to have exactly that.

Gaining by Losing

Though many churches focus time and energy on attracting people and counting numbers, the real mission of the church isn’t how many people you can gather. It’s about training up disciples and then sending them out. The true measure of success for a church should be its sending capacity, not its seating capacity. But there is a cost to this. To see ministry multiply, we must release the seeds God has placed in our hands. And to do that, we must ask ourselves whether we are concerned more with building our kingdom or God’s.  J.D. Greear unpacks ten plumb lines that you can use to reorient your church’s priorities around God’s mission to reach a lost world. The good news is that you don’t need to choose between gathering or sending. Effective churches can, and must, do both.

The Gospel According to Jonah

Through a 6-week  examination of Jonah, this study invites you into a world fraught with missteps, disobedience, idolatry and mistaken identity – a world we would recognise in our own lives.  The book of Jonah is about a gracious God’s relentless pursuit of those that He loves.  This study helps us into a deeper personal faith and greater passion for helping others to meet God, as well as the call to a life of obedience.

 Gospel According to Jonah (Workbook)
Presence: Overwhelmed by God

This six-week small group study explores the facets of God s presence in our lives. Using Exodus 32-34 as a scriptural context, J.D. Greear takes illustrations from Moses’ interaction with the Lord and drives home the realities of God’s presence, absence, and power. God reveals to Moses all the ways He is going to bless Israel. But it is God’s presence that Moses most desires. This study examines the yearning of our own hearts and determine if what we long for is God’s blessing or His presence. Presence is part of The Platform Series from LifeWay.

Do you care about the Muslim world? Or do you just want to understand them? This must-have resource will give you profound insight into the way Muslims think and feel.  JD Greear goes beyond traditional apologetics, using his experience living among Muslims and his expertise in Christian and Islamic theology to help you to understand a Muslims heart and theology.  He helps you to get to know Muslims and share Christ with him in your own city, campus or workplace.

Gospel Revolution

Even though you are constantly busy for God, is there something still missing?  The list of what “good Christians” should be doing never seems to end.  The result is that many Christians find themselves more exhausted than inspired.  Jesus’ revolutionary message is that the centre of Christianity is not a list of things we are to be doing for God, but an announcement of what He has done for us.  This study will help you experience its power personally.

Here are some of our favourite staff picks to consider…
One Life: What’s it all about?
By Rico Tice & Barry Cooper
We all get one life to live, and most of us are asking the same question – what’s it all about? It’s a huge question and yet it would be so easy to miss the answer…  This jargon-free, straight talking book explores life’s big questions and the life of the person at the heart of the Christian Faith – Jesus Christ.

 One Life- What's It All About
What the bible teaches about Guidance
By: Peter Bloomfield
How can I know God’s will for me?  What does God want me to do?  How can I know that I am doing the right thing?  The question of divine guidance is one that has always caused confusion among Christians.  The author dispels the notion that there is just one perfect plan for our lives, and urges us to follow the Scriptures which provide all we need to live lives that are pleasing to our heavenly Father.

What the Bible Teaches about Guidance
Getting to the heart of things: Reflections on Christian Basics
By Michael Cassidy
In our tumultuous age of moral confusion, conflicting religious claims and convulsive world events, Cassidy penetrates to the heart of the Christian message, enabling thinking believers to hold fast to the faith.  He strongly affirms the uniqueness of Jesus, authority of Scripture and the importance of biblical morality amidst the challenges of our age.

Coming home to God
By O. Palmer Robertson
However much people set themselves against God, however much they think of themselves as self determining, the plan of God will never be thwarted.  However hollow and worthless lives may seem and far away the sense of truly belonging to God may appear, there is a way back.  Using the story of the prodigal son, the author describes the way people come home to God, and we discover that this return wasn’t our plan, it was God’s.

School Holiday Reads

 

Things God wants us to know: Find a purpose in your life
By Roger Carswell
Everyone has an opinion about God. Our deep-seated awareness of something other makes our hearts restless and reinforces the instinct that we know life has a purpose.   We don’t believe that, by chance, something impersonal developed the things that make us personal – love, significance, hope, purpose, reasoning, beauty and a sense of right or wrong. To rob humanity of its awareness of being made in the image of God is an even greater identity fraud than having your credit card cloned.  This book is to help you to put some clarity to those common thoughts and feelings you have as you contemplate your place in life.
CBD PRICE: R63.85 
(hard cover)
 Things God Wants Us To Know
Wrestling with God: Loving the God we don’t understand
James Emery White
We give ourselves to God and then wrestle profoundly with the relationship.  But instead of embracing our doubts and confusion, we often deny them to ourselves and others.  We make things worse by either feeling guilty about our struggles or by dismissing them as insignificant.  This book explores the difficulties all Christians face, and grapples honestly with our tough questions and dissapointments.

True Friendship
By 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 s for this reason that Vaughan Roberts takes us back to the Bible, and challenges us to consider our need for true friendship.

 True Friendship
Unashamed to bear His name
R.T. Kendall
In our increasingly secular society, being a Christian carries a cost. Whether through public criticism or the quiet loss of respect,  it is hard and becoming harder to be known as a Christian. Even as believers try to follow the will of God, they are often misunderstood and left to deal with the awkward, sometimes painful results of feeling disconnected from their fellow man.

Help for the Selfish and Sick

Two of our favourite authors share their thoughts.
The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness
By Timothy Keller
What are the marks of a supernaturally changed heart?  This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He s not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep rooted, life altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to make it , the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self forgetfulness. In this short and punchy book, best selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self condemnation. A truly gospel humble person is not a self hating person or a self loving person, but a self forgetful person. This freedom can be yours…

Written to help those in the hospital focus their attention on God, his grace, & his plan – when such focus can be especially hard – this volume blends together personal narrative with biblical reflections to help readers rely on the God who stands ready to comfort and support his people.CBD PRICE: R110.00               SPECIAL PRICE: R100.00
