Turning our thoughts to Easter

Who Is This Man? (PB)Who is this Man?  by John Ortberg

On the day after Jesus’ death, it looked like whatever mark he had left on the world would rapidly disappear.  Instead, his impact on human history had just begun.  This book illustrates that nothing in the world’s existence has ever been the same since that fateful day so long ago.  To follow Jesus is not a pathway to an easy life, but a call to do hard things if we are to live in the image of our Lord.

Shaped by the CrossShaped by the cross by Ken Gire

What must it have been like to draw near to Christ as he drew near to the cross?  Ken Gire offers 7 meditations on the sufferings of Jesus and on a costly discipleship that invites us to take up our cross and follow our savior – through death to everlasting life.

Meekness + majesty Meekness and Majesty by RT Kendall

Jesus laid aside his majesty and “emptied himself” and took the form of a servant. Focusing on this theme, R T challenges us to live in true humility – “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” He looks at the mystery of Christ being fully God and fully man and Christ’s vindication and exaltation and what that means for us.

Explicit Gospel, The (PB)The Explicit Gospel by Matt Chandler

Even if you go to church, it doesn’t mean that you are being exposed to the gospel explicitly. Sure, most people talk about Jesus, and about being good and avoiding bad, but the gospel message simply isn’t there? – at least not in its specificity and its fullness.  pastor Matt Chandler writes to remind us what is of first and utmost importance – the gospel.

The Cross – It rests on the timeline of history like a compelling diamond… its tragedy summons all sufferers… its absurdity attracts all cynics… its hope lures all searchers.  Jesus’ darkest hours.  Mankind’s highest hope.  They hang together on the cross for all eternity, leaving no doubt why they call Him Saviour.

A Christian’s response to a planet in crises

drought landscape

With threats like Global Warming, Droughts and Pollution threatening our country and world, what is our responsibility as Christians?  Here are some titles that address these and other questions.

God Doesn't Do Waste

Global Warming

God Doesn’t Do Waste: Dave Bookless

In one sense this book isn’t about going green at all. It’s a personal account of a life lived in relationship. It’s about roots and belonging, suffering and healing, identity and meaning, faith and doubt. It’s about how in God’s economy nothing need be wasted. This is a story about the messiness that each human being wades through in every area of their lives, and about a God who can take all that seems most wasteful and useless, and recycle it into something of infinite worth.

Global Warming: Curtis Auxt

God has a clear plan for this earth and its inhabitants. Although the media would have you believe the earth is doomed due to global warming, the truth is that the earth has always been warming very gradually and that the current warming is insignificant – especially considering the scope of God’s ultimate plan for each and every one of us. This book helps to unlock the clues to this contemporary controversy and learn to sift unsupported rumor and alarmist rhetoric from verifiable facts on this issue. (limited stock)

The Bible and Ecology Planetwise
The Bible and Ecology: Richard Bauckham

Richard Bauckham embarks on a biblical investigation into the relationship between human beings and the rest of creation. He considers the ecological perspectives found in the book of Job, the Psalms, and the Gospels, all of which, he determines, require a re-evaluation of the biblical tradition of “dominion.” Bauckham discovers a tradition of a “community of creation” in which human beings are fellow members with God’s other creatures and true reconciliation to God involves the entire creation.

 Planetwise: Dave Bookless

Dave Bookless is on a mission: to share with others the compelling biblical case for caring for the planet God made for his glory and his people’s enjoyment. This is not another book on green issues to make you feel guilty. The message is that there is hope. God can take your small and insignificant efforts and multiply them in his great plan.

Dave takes us right into the heart of his family and shows how living simply, besides honouring God, can be an exciting adventure.

Gospel Commision Writers to-Read
 The Gospel Commission

By Michael Horton

 Writers to Read

By Douglas Wilson

At a time when churches are engaged in creating mission statements and strategic plans Horton argues that we should ask ourselves anew whether we are ambassadors following the script we have been given, or building our own kingdoms with our own blueprint. If books are among our friends, we ought to choose them wisely.  But sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. The author introduces us to nine of his favorite authors over the last 150 years, exploring their lives, works and legacies. He opens our eyes to literary mentors who teach us what good writing looks like, and helps us become better readers in the process.
