When the New Atheists famously coined the phrase 'There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life,' they implicitly suggested that it was no longer reasonable to believe in God. Brian Harris tackles three of the most common accusations made against the Christian faith, namely that Christianity is intellectually vacuous, morally suspect and experientially empty. He looks at each accusation in turn, outlining the issue in the first chapter of each section, then looking at evidence against the claim before evaluating the argument as a whole. He is clear that he is not trying to 'prove' that Christianity is true as he acknowledges that absolute proof is impossible in this life, and in reality there are many tough and challenging questions to be faced - whether you are a Christian believer, a believer in another faith, an agnostic or an atheist. This book explores these questions in a rigorous but accessible way. It doesn't offer easy, solve everything answers, but it does build a cumulative case based on reason, history and experience to suggest that God probably exists, and that the Christian understanding of God could well be valid.

An invitation to an ordinary yet radical way of life, using historic Christian practices as both inspiring vision and practical instruction for how to encounter the wondrous, mysterious, living God through prayer. Prayer is the source of Jesus's most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus's most audacious promises, and yet, most people--even most Bible-believing Christians--find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing, confusing, or, most often, all of the above. If you've ever felt this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined. In these pages, Tyler Staton--author, pastor, and national director of the 24/7 Prayer movement--addresses common roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God just as you are. Through biblical teaching, powerful storytelling, and insights on historic Christian practices, Staton helps you . . . Express your doubts and disappointments about prayer Discover and practice multiple postures of prayer, including silence, persistence, confession, and more Understand and embrace the wonder and mystery of prayer in everyday life Realize that prayer is a powerful invitation to partner with God in the redemption of a fallen world And, ultimately, open or reopen the line of communication with your Creator and experience afresh his divine power on earth

Genesing vir elke vrou lei die leser deur dit wat hulle terughou in die lewe en om hul ware identiteit op te eis as geliefde van Christus.

Kan ’n vrou wat diep seergemaak is deur die lewe in haar hart en siel genees word? As sy verwond is deur ’n man wat sy vertrou het, kan sy weer liefde vind? As ’n vrou wat self jare se misbruik, verwerping en verraad moes verduur van dié naaste aan haar, kan Joyce Meyer met ’n weergalmende “Ja!” antwoord. Sy put inspirasie uit haar eie geskiedenis van mishandeling om te wys hoe Jesus Christus se verlossende liefde vroue se emosionele wonde kan genees en vreugde terugbring in hul lewe. Joyce se positiwiteit spruit uit haar eie lewensreis, en omdat sy al soveel vroue gehelp het wat gedink het hulle kan nie hul pyn ten volle oorkom nie – of selfs weet waar om te begin nie. Dit doen sy deur vroue te rig na die Woord en die lewensveranderende wysheid wat daarin te vinde is. Elke hoofstuk lei die leser deur wat dit ook al is wat hulle terughou in die lewe en om hul ware identiteit op te eis as geliefde van Christus. God kan al jou pyn wegneem!

This booklet is a concise and easy-to-read study of the very real questions surrounding Jesus that your guests might be thinking about when first attending your church or Alpha: Who is Jesus? Why do we need Him? Why did He have to die? Why is He relevant to my life today?

Alpha is based on a pattern found in the New Testament of people bringing their friends, family, and work colleagues to meet Jesus.

Everyone is welcome at Alpha, but the program is designed especially for people who would not describe themselves as Christians or church-goers.
