Daar woed elke dag, die hele dag lank, ’n onsigbare oorlog om vroue.
Dit kan nie gesien of gehoor word nie, maar dit kan in elke aspek van
’n mens se lewe gevoel word. ’n Onwrikbare, bose vyand wil chaos
veroorsaak in alles wat vir ’n vrou saak maak: haar hart, gedagtes,
huwelik, kinders, verhoudings, drome en toekoms. Maar sy oorlogsplan
behels dat hy haar onverhoeds en ongewapen moet vang.
In die Bybelstudie Die wapenrusting van God, deur New York
Times-topverkoperouteur en motiveringspreker Priscilla Shirer, word
vroue met behulp van Skrifstudie en besprekingsvrae toegerus met die
wapenrusting van God, waarvan gebed die belangrikste is.
Die wapenrusting van God is meer as net ’n Bybelse beskrywing van ’n
gelowige se wapenrusting; dit is ’n 7-week-aksieplan om oorwinning te
behaal in die geestelike stryd.
The Holy Spirit is frequently misunderstood, leaving many clueless
about who He is and how He expresses Himself to us. He is often
portrayed as something “weird”. But the Bible makes it clear that the
Spirit is not something. He is Someone – a Person who has promised to
never leave your side. In The Holy Spirit: An Introduction, John Bevere
invites you into a personal discovery of the Person and work of the
Holy Spirit. This interactive book is a multi-purpose, 3-in-1 guide –
part book, part Bible study and part group study.
Each chapter is divided into five recommended daily readings with
corresponding devotional studies at the end of the chapter. Group
discussion questions for each chapter can be found after the daily
devotions. The Holy Spirit: An Introduction also features an in-depth
question-and-answer session in a bonus chapter, covering some of the
toughest questions about the Holy Spirit.
"I'm really concerned about the state of the world. It feels like things are falling apart."
"I'm worried about my family's future."
"How can I stand firm in my faith in today's culture?"
Our times are turbulent ones, and questions and worries like these can haunt us and keep us awake at night. Yet is it possible that, ultimately, there is actually nothing to fear? Barry C. Black is the spiritual "leader of leaders" for the US Senate--shepherding those on the front lines of the decisions that shape our culture. Now, Chaplain Black shows all of us how to thrive in the midst of today's turbulence and confusion by following eight principles that Jesus gave his disciples prior to sending them into a dangerous world. These teachings are as relevant today as when Jesus first spoke them two thousand years ago.
Containing Scriptural insights and powerful prayers to help you seek God's guidance and blessing, Nothing to Fear will illuminate the way to live boldly, bravely, and faithfully in the face of today's perils.
Have you ever looked back on your life and wondered if there were
situations that God was actively involved with but you didn't even
know it? This book gives principles that will help you recognize

others recognize when God show up. This best-selling author teaches
the life-transforming principles he learned when he encountered God
though an unexpected spiritual experience, providing principles for
learning to receive God's love, face life's trials, cope with
temptation, and face disruptions of every kind.
In Silent Compassion, Richard Rohr explores practices for finding
God in the depths of silence and shows us that the divine silence
is more than the absence of noise. Silence has a life of its own,
and in this short but powerful little book we are invited into its
living presence to experience the wholeness of being and peace it
brings. Drawing on centuries-old practices, in Silent Compassion
Richard Rohr explores different aspects of Christian contemplation,
showing how silence can absorb the challenges of life and connect
us with the great chain of being - as well as building unity among
different religions that all use the practices of silence. Packed
full of thought-provoking wisdom, this is a book for anyone seeking
to deepen their relationship with God and looking for spiritual
fulfilment. It is perfect for morning or evening reflection, to
help revitalise and refresh the way you look at prayer. Silent
Compassion will inspire you and show that the peace of
contemplation is not something just for monks, mystics, and those
divorced from the worries of the world, but rather for all people
who can quiet their own mind to listen in the silence.
Why Jesus? 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?
These booklets are an effective evangelistic tool to pass out to guests at your services or at Alpha, sharing the Gospel in a warm and relevant way. Alpha is based on a pattern found in the New Testament of people bringing their friends, family, and work colleagues to meet Jesus. Alpha is an easy way to say to friends, "Come and see, come and explore your questions, come and hear about Jesus, come and see for yourself." Everyone is welcome at Alpha, but the program is designed especially for people who would not describe themselves as Christians or church-goers.
Elisabeth Elliot plots the treacherous passage through pain, grief,
and loss, a journey most of us will make many times in our life.
Through it all, she says, there is only one reliable path, and if
you walk it, you will see the transformation of all your losses,
heartbreaks, and tragedies into something strong and purposeful. In
this powerful book, Elisabeth Elliot does not hesitate to ask hard
questions, to examine tenderly the hurts we suffer, and to explore
boldly the nature of God whose sovereign care for us is so intimate
and perfect that he confounds our finite understanding. A Path
through Suffering is a book for anyone searching for faith,
comfort, and assurance. Includes a new foreword by Joni Eareckson
Tada.
Each day’s reading includes teaching and encouragement, a Scripture reading from both the Old and New Testaments, and a thought for the day to draw you closer to God the Father and His purposes for you. Explore the nature and role of men as God intended, addressing such issues as: What does the Bible really teach about men and women? What does it mean to be male? What are the purpose and design of the man? How is a man uniquely different from a woman? What is a man’s role as a husband and father? What are a man’s sexual needs? How are men and women meant to relate to one another? How can a man build a better life for himself, his family, and the world?
Through this devotional, you can strengthen your relationship with your heavenly Father as you discover how to fulfill your destiny and potential as an integral part of His eternal purposes.
