Why memorize the Bible? In our information-saturated society, with
so many details to take in, the idea of memorizing Scripture can
seem overwhelming--like one more task on a checklist. But pastor
Joshua Choonmin Kang has discovered what happens when we do spend
time memorizing God's Word: We grasp a larger, truer picture of
God. We more closely and more often imitate Christ. We worship God
"in Spirit and in truth." We're better able to fulfill God's
mission. However, Pastor Kang also knows that memorizing Scripture
isn't easy. The process itself, like the transformation it brings,
doesn't happen overnight. Scripture by Heart is therefore his help
for your growth in this important practice. He offers here 30 short
devotional readings that motivate you to memorize God's Word
spiritual practices interspersed throughout that teach you how to
memorize specific help for persevering when you feel stuck or
overwhelmed a step-by-step approach that roots Scripture in your
mind and heart There is no substitute for God's Word and no
shortcut to having it dwell in us. But there is help here for the
journey. Pastor Kang's words and wisdom can guide you into a new
relationship with the living Word, and the God it reveals.

This six-session small group Bible study, The Reason for God,
captures live and unscripted conversations between Tim Keller and a
group of people to address their doubts and objections to
Christianity. Using literature, philosophy, and Scripture, Keller
and the group explore the truth of Christianity.
In his New York Times bestselling book The Reason for God,
Timothy Keller established himself as a modern-day C. S. Lewis who
brings together faith and intellect, theology and popular culture,
modern-day objections and historic Christian beliefs.
Now fans of the New York Times bestseller can find resources to
help them engage with those same objections, drawing on recent
scholarship and debates. The Reason for God small group Bible study
can be used individually, with groups, or by any believer who is
engaging with friends who don t share his or her beliefs.
Christians will be challenged to wrestle with their friends and
neighbors hardest questions, and to engage those questions in ways
that will spark an honest, enriching, and humbling dialogue, as is
modeled during the DVD sessions.
While The Reason for God DVD (sold separately) captures a live
and unscripted conversation between Timothy Keller and the six
panelists discussing their objections to Christianity, this
Discussion Guide will help small groups and individuals dig deeper
into the objections of the Christian faith and to learn about both
sides of the issues.
Sessions include:
1. Isn t the Bible a Myth?
2. How Can You Say There Is Only One Way to God?
3. What Gives You the Right to Tell Me How to Live My Life?
4. Why Does God Allow Suffering?
5. Why Is the Church Responsible for So Much Injustice?
6. How Can God Be Full of Love and Wrath at the Same Time? "
Since 11th September 2001, religious formation and education have
again been up for discussion. The challenges of contemporary
society not only demand enlightenment in religious matters, but
also require education in practical tolerance for dialogue to take
place between religions, without suspending the issue of truth. In
a critical evaluation of PISA and other studies, the book
establishes how much latitude there really is in the relationship
between Church and State under European law and the laws of the
member-states, and puts forward proposals for a a oereligious
literacya in Europe.

Council of Bishops in Baltimore has instructed generations of

parents will find this Catechism an invaluable teaching tool as
they prepare children and catechumens to receive the Sacraments and
lead authentic Catholic lives. Students will find this an

Many people are obsessed with the approval of others. The problem
is that living for what people think of you is the quickest way to
forget what God thinks about you. In Altar Ego, author Craig
Groeschel shows individuals and small groups how to abandon
self-worth based on accomplishments and possessions, turning
instead to the eyes of God to define them. Participants will learn
to expose false labels and selfish motives as the roadblocks they
are, going instead to the altar of God's truth and pursuing the
higher values he sets above the world. You don't have to get caught
up in your self-worth or lack thereof. Your worth is not based on
your opinion of yourself. You are valuable because God says you are
His. You are not your past. You are not what you did. You are not
who others say you are. You are who Christ says you are. This study
guide (DVD/digital video sold separately) offers discussion
questions and other supplemental material to delve further into
God's divine plan, and will ultimately help you sacrifice any old,
unhealthy, untrue, and unbiblical thoughts about yourself and
introduce you to your altar-ego-who you are in Christ. Sessions
include: Overcoming the Labels that Bind You You Are God's
Masterpiece Trading the Immediate for the Ultimate Living with
Integrity Developing Spiritual Boldness Designed for use with Altar
Ego Video Study 9780310894933 (sold separately).

leaders, and lay Christians worked for seven years to create a
