In this warm and personal book, Dr. Phil Parshall looks at what Muslims believe and how this affects their behaviour.
Parshall compares and contrasts Muslim and Christian views on the nature of God, sacred scriptures, worship, sin, and holiness.
Feeling like you've blown it? Reached the point of no return? That
your life hasn't gone as planned? If so, you are not alone. We all
know what it feels like to have life disappoint us and not work out
as we'd hoped. We all know what it's like to long for something
different, something better, and something more... This six-session
video study (DVD/digital video sold separately) shows us how God
can use our messes and still make a masterpiece. Drawing on his own
experiences and pivotal Bible stories, Louie Giglio, pastor and
author of Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table, shows how God
is all about comebacks. Samson had blown it repeatedly;
nevertheless, he experiences tremendous triumph at the end of his
life. The prodigal son, as Jesus describes him, returns home in
disgrace only to be welcomed by his father with open arms. The list
goes on: Joseph, Moses, and Peter all experienced comebacks. Jesus
himself performed the greatest comeback of all by rising from the
dead. God is in the business of giving fresh starts, and His plans
will always prevail, even when our plans don't. For the times when
we feel like our lives are in the garbage, and it's hard to see
God's plan, this study guide will help you see: How God uses our
circumstances to strengthen us and fulfill his good plan. How to
respond in spirit when our dreams are dashed. How Jesus' life,
death, resurrection, and ascension is not only enough to save us
but also to sustain us. No matter what kind of disappointment or
grief or pain or trouble or heartache we encounter, God always
offers a new beginning, a change of heart, and a powerful spiritual
turnaround. Our current circumstances do not get the final say in
our lives. God does. Designed for use with The Comeback Video Study
(sold separately).
The perfect Lent book for art lovers of all ages
VISIONARY CHRISTIAN Culled from some of C.S. Lewis's finest fiction and poetry, this collection of writings explores the eternal truths of Christianity in the accessible language of allegory, fairy tales, dream visions, and science fiction. From his children's classic The Chronicles of Narnia to the wisdom of Screwtape on marriage, democracy, and heaven, Lewis's literary imagination and extraordinary insight into the universe and God remain vivid and relevant for all times. The Visionary Christian is testimony to a true man of faith who continues to provide comfort and understanding to Christians around the world.
This devotional probes the depths of Scripture, calling us to radical
discipleship. Russel D. Fox observes that the church is struggling with
pursuing holiness, which leads to conflict and the splintering of
churches. Drawing from his experiences growing up and his career in the
car business, he shares how to apply biblical principles as you pursue
holiness. He considers questions such as: - What must we do before we
work on our holiness? - How can we draw closer to the Father through
the Son? - How can we enter the kingdom of heaven? - What are the
consequences of sin? You're encouraged to read each devotional with
God's Word open. Take time to chew on what you have read and meditate
on God's Word and journal as you go through this book. These
thought-provoking devotionals will challenge you to go on a deeper,
more profound walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
