When you dig a bit below the surface, you are likely to discover that many of us who attend church regularly feel we have lost touch with a living experience of God. Indeed, we may find we no longer believe in God at all.
The reasons why faith breaks down are multi-layered and complex, and this sympathetic volume has been written for those who aren't satisfied with pious answers to real questions and disappointments.
John Pritchard draws deeply on his own experience of dark times in order to shed light on what we may be going through ourselves. He then offers starting points from which we might rediscover and re-imagine a more realistic faith in the God who, despite appearances, is ever present with us, whether apprehended or not.
In this ten-lesson study guide, bestselling author Dr. David
Jeremiah shows Christians why it is critical in these perilous
times to focus more on who they are than simply what they do. In
his previous book, Is This the End?, Dr. Jeremiah walked readers
through the many cultural and spiritual challenges that are rapidly
increasing in this divisive world. Although Jesus made it clear
that no one knows the day or the hour of his return, many have been
wondering if the end indeed is near.Regardless of whether this time
is just around the corner or far in the future, the days are
challenging to say the least. Many are wondering what will happen
next and how Christians are going to be prepared for the societal
onslaught that is building against many people of faith. A Life
Beyond Amazing answers these questions as Dr. Jeremiah unpacks
spiritual principles that help believers develop a strategy for
life. He reveals that though human answers have failed them, God
has given his wisdom-the ability to do the right thing without a
precedent-for these days.In addition to cultural application and
important updates on crucial issues, this study guide explores nine
qualities of character that will carry believers forward. Three of
these have to do with their relationship with themselves; three
deal with their relationships with other people; and three of them
focus on their relationship with God. Each lesson also includes:An
outline of the main subjects and Scriptures covered during the
lessonAn overview of Dr. Jeremiah's teaching on the topic being
studiedApplication questions to help individuals and small groups
delve into the BibleA Did You Know? section that adds a point of
interest to the lesson
“I have read no book that more carefully, thoroughly, and tenderly displays Christ’s heart.” — Paul David Tripp, President, Paul Tripp Ministries; author, New Morning Mercies and My Heart Cries Out
Christians know what Jesus Christ has done—but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is “gentle and lowly in heart.” This book reflects on these words, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who he is for sinners and sufferers today.
Reconcile contains practical ideas for transforming conflict in
everyday life from an internationally renowned mediator, who has
worked in war zones and entrenched conflicts across five
continents. The author challenges Christians to renew their
commitment to reconciliation as the heart of the gospel message.
