How do Christians grow? Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive.
In this book, Dane Ortlund points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to him.
Drawing on wisdom from figures throughout church history, Ortlund encourages readers to fix their gaze on Jesus in the battle against sin, casting themselves upon his grace and living out their invincible identity in Christ.

The Puritans, though often caricatured in modern days as narrow,
gloomy and austere, were those whose high view of the Word of God
distinguished them as serious students of the Scriptures. Their
preaching was marked by careful exegesis of the great themes of the
Bible and the practical application of these doctrines to the life
of their hearers. Men like John Owen, William Gough, Thomas Watson,
John Flavel, Richard Sibbes, and many others, were used of God to
powerfully preach the riches of the Messianic work of Christ, the
new birth, repentance, justification, sanctification, assurance,
and many other themes. In this volume, Dr. Di Gangi brings together
the words of these preachers on the great themes of the Word with
the hopes that it might be used to revive in our churches a love
for the truth and a desire to see the Scriptures faithfully
preached and applied.
Based on his work with young children at the Episcopal School of
New York, teacher and storyteller Gordh offers a collection of
stories from the Bible, arranged and told to create a meaningful
childhood chapel for children ages 3-7 and their families.
Originally conceived as a resource for use in day schools, it is
also ideal for use in Sunday church schools in Episcopal and other
mainline congregations.
This exciting resource contains: Advice and tips on creating a
children's chapel, including challenges of using available space
Techniques for retelling stories for young listeners, including the
use of songs and artwork Suggestions for including parents in the
chapel experience and for making chapel meaningful to families from
many faiths and backgrounds More than 30 Bible stories, organized
thematically, including the Creation, Noah, the GoodSamaritan,
Abraham, Ruth, the Last Supper, David and Goliath, Moses and
Passover, Easter, Hanukkah, the Three Wise Men, the Prodigal Son
Collection of songs to support the story themes, with lyrics,
musical notation, and easy-to-learn refrains
So it was that a few years and thousands of baptisms ago this
philosophy of action got underway. It is not mere froth spun by a
simple dreamer fantasizing spiritual fun-and-games from some
ecclesiastical perch. It is the fruitful product of many personal
sessions of intercessory prayer, dedicated time, analytical work
throughout the preparation and many hours of training his
disciples. It is strikingly evident to us that this present work is
indeed God's response to His humble servant's search for a
methodology that would effectively empower Gospel ministry for the
expansion of the Kingdom of God. We give thanks and glory to the
Lord for this book which has come into our hands. Pastor J. H.
Cortes came to the United States, specifically to New Jersey, from
the Euro-African Division. Previously, he ministered in a very
difficult corner of the Inter-American Division. As a young pastor
and evangelist He faced grave dangers during the most trying times
of the Cuban Revolution. Persecuting religious workers seems to
have been in that era a favorite pastime for over-zealous security
goons. There he had the sacred privilege of bearing the light of
the Gospel to hundreds of prisoners. We heartily recommend to our
readers his book Never Give Up Hope in which Pastor Cortes shares
his moving, painful, yet at the same time Christ-sustaining life
experiences from within the entrails of his Communist imprisonment.
He has a Doctorate in Psychology, and Masters in Ministry and
Family Counseling. His energetic and loving preaching is
appreciated and respected internationally. His written work
includes several books and hundreds of articles. His most precious
treasure is his family. If you wish to use the Power Point Training
