Sometimes the big and small decisions in life seem overwhelming. How do you know what choices to make about your career, kids, and relationships? Even when you make good decisions, how do you avoid temptation along the way?
In this in-depth look at the book of James, Dr. David Jeremiah offers stories and biblical insights about what to do:
- When you’re feeling pressured
- When wrong seems right
- When you don’t know what decision to make
- When faith doesn’t seem to work
- When you’re not feeling confident
- When your goals are not God’s
- When you’re in a hurry and God is not
- When you have financial struggles
- When you face difficult times
In What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do, renowned Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah walks you through the book of James to glean God’s wisdom on issues such as finances, faith, and decision making. What does it look like to consider God in all of your plans, depend on God rather than wealth, and put prayer above your personal efforts? Learn how to receive God’s supernatural strength to meet the challenges you face. As James learned, the road of spiritual wisdom always leads to joy.

The Book of Nehemiah offers a first-hand telling of how ancient
Jerusalem's walls were rebuilt in the face of great odds after the
Babylonian exile - an act that represented the renewal of the
people's faith and the reforming of their conduct. In The Message
of Nehemiah, Raymond Brown explores this powerful story and the
striking relevance of this themes for Christians living today.
Vividly drawing out Nehemiah's historical and social milieu, Brown
demonstrates that Nehemiah is one of the most inventive and
resilient personalities in the Old Testament. His doctrine of God,
his passion for Scripture, his experience of prayer and his example
in leadership all provide valuable lessons that can be applied to
how we live our faith every day. A revised volume in the trusted
the Bible Speaks Today series of commentaries, The Message of
Nehemiah offers a compelling exposition of the Biblical text,
unpacking its meaning for both the original audience it was written
for and for Christians in the twenty-first century. Used by Bible
students and teachers around the world, the Bible Speaks Today
commentaries are ideal for students and preachers who want to delve
more deeply into the riches of Scripture and better understand how
it can be applied to modern life. This beautifully redesigned
edition has been sensitively updated to include modern references
and use the NIV Bible text. The Message of Nehemiah is perfect for
anyone looking for accessible commentaries on Nehemiah that will
help broaden their knowledge and understanding of the this
fascinating book of the Old Testament.
This book is an illuminating guide on critical, sensitive and
salvation-based topics that will intrigue, educate, inspire and
above all promote the doctrine of salvation as the focal point of
the entire Bible. The book highlights the fact that humanity's
greatest need has never been the food that satiates his hunger, the
building that gives him shelter, the status that makes him relevant
or anything that caters to his physical needs, albeit it consists
of topics that discuss humanity's daily needs and how they can be
acquired in line with God's word. It adequately emphasises that the
salvation of souls constitutes the greatest need and should occupy
the top echelon of our priorities. The scripture says that faith
comes by hearing and hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). But
what happens when the word is not correctly taught, or correctly
taught but not completely broken down and hence not properly
understood? This book breaks down biblical lessons in a manner that
will be easily understood by readers. Many have read the Bible and
taught from it wrongly because they missed the central theme of the
Bible which is the salvation of our souls but the words in this
book have been written to help the reader avoid reading the Bible
amiss and achieve this precious and priceless gift - salvation -
that will make existence in this world a meaningful one. The
lessons readers will learn are drawn from the context of the
scriptures, the express commands of God and from the lives and
experiences of several biblical characters. Readers are made to
examine some biblical characters' strengths and flaws, successes
and failures and extract valuable lessons that will guide them on
the journey through life. While people can scan through the Bible
and get a general understanding of the stories within these
chapters, this book will draw the readers' attention to vital
lessons they may not have noticed.

In Manne van die Bybel bied Jim George in 113 dagstukkies ’n Bybelse
perspektief op 83 manne in die Bybel. Uit hulle lewens kan ons iets
leer van God se liefde, genade en bemoeienis met mense.
Hedendaagse mans sal bemoedig en versterk word deur manne soos:
- Daniël wat gekies het om elke dag te bid
- Nehemia wat ander kon inspireer
- Jesaja wat gewillig was om te dien
- Paulus wat ten spyte van baie teëspoed getrou gebly het
- Jesus wat die volmaakte voorbeeld van 'n dienaar is
Jim George wys in Manne van die Bybel dat ons selfs uit die lewens van
manne wat gestruikel het of ontrou was, meer bewus kan word van God se
vergifnis, getrouheid en heiligheid.
