Hoe wonderlik dat God ons vertrou om Sy ligdraers te wees. Nog beter nuus, Hy maak ons gewillig en bekwaam om Sy ligdraers te wees.

As ons aan onsself die vraag sou vra: Hoe vervul ons die verwagting van God, om sy werk hier op aarde te doen? Alles gaan nie noodwendig oor ons woorde nie, maar die grootste kommunikasie is wat mense by ons sien, ons optrede elke dag.

In die boek probeer ek ’n paar punte uitlig waarop ons kan fokus om die verwagting wat God oor ons het, na te kom. Die groot beloning vir ons staan in Fillipense 2 v. 16 waar die Woord sê dat God trots gaan wees op ons omdat ons Sy ligdraers was.

Ons geloof is ’n offer in Sy diens.

By AD 100, all the original disciples had died and a new generation of preachers, teachers, and scholars had taken on the responsibility to preach, teach, and interpret the Scriptures. These men have become known as the church fathers. But who were they? When and where did they live? And, most importantly, what did they teach about how to read and understand the Bible?

Join professor and author Gerald Bray as he uncovers the fascinating history of the men who shaped the faith for the first few centuries after the apostles, including:

• Justin Martyr
• Origen
• Gregory of Nyssa
• Ambrosiaster
• John Chrysostom
• Theodore of Mopsuestia
• Jerome
• Augustine of Hippo
• Cyril of Alexandria
• Theodoret of Cyrrhus

This compelling introduction reveals how early Christians read, preached, and understood the Bible, offering a unique look at their shared vision to spread the gospel with clarity amid remarkable diversity of perspective. Pastors, teachers, and thoughtful laypeople alike will find this book both educational and inspiring.

When Heaven seems silent, and God, indifferent . . . bring your disappointment, anger, questions, and broken heart.

Life can be disappointing—bitterly disappointing. Especially if you’ve been asking, or begging, for God’s help and your prayers go unanswered. Maybe you were taught that God loves you only to discover that when you really need Him, He’s not there.

In Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayers? respected preacher and bestselling author Dr. Erwin Lutzer helps us see God’s love and guidance even when He seems to be silent. This biblical guide ministers to tender and hurting places as it thoughtfully considers:

• When the person you love isn’t healed.
• When the worst happens.
• When evil feels like it’s winning.
• When promises are unfulfilled.
• When the answer is disaster . . . and more.

As Lutzer delves into Scripture and reveals God's hidden purposes, readers’ hearts move from despair or despondence to hope and trust. Whatever your current position is to prayer—clenched fists, tear-stained face, heartache, or back turned—the truth of this book will transform you.

If you’ve ever in desperation mumbled the question, Does God even care? If you’ve left the faith, are losing your grip on faith, or know someone who has departed the faith, this book is for you.

We need to hear these encouraging truths, and we probably know someone else who needs them as well.

A defining major work from today’s leading Bible scholar: N. T. Wright traces the Biblical promise of God’s care for the future, offering authentic hope in a chaotic age.

Many devout believers have been lured into the classic misunderstanding that Christianity teaches how we must leave earth and go somewhere else to be with God. But this outlook dangerously suggests that God created a world He loves only to abandon it. Nothing could be further from the scriptural truth, N. T. Wright contends. In God’s Homecoming, Wright excavates the forgotten story of God’s original purpose to dwell with us and make His home—and ours—in this new creation.

In his groundbreaking Surprised by Hope, Wright dismantled the “going to heaven” narrative. In God’s Homecoming, he returns with a panoramic pilgrimage tracing God’s homecoming promise from Genesis through Revelation. When we read the Bible as a whole, Wright argues, we do not find a narrative of souls ascending a spiritual ladder to heaven, but of God coming down to dwell with us.

Revolutionary and grounded in biblical research, Wright leads readers through the movements of the promise: God created heaven and earth to be His own home, He filled the temple with His presence, then the church with the Holy Spirit, and promises that the all creation will again be filled with his glory. He traces how the popular Christian reading got it wrong—as well as the radical transformation that awaits us and the church today if we return to God’s original vision.

Until we recover this forgotten story, Wright warns, we will keep distorting the Bible’s message. Yet, he argues, its recovery could be the key to revitalizing every aspect of Christian life as we know it: prayer, mission, evangelism, pastoral practice, and personal devotion.

Dr. Gary Chapman has helped more than 150 million people discover their love language. But discovering it is just the beginning. Love isn’t one-size-fits-all. What says “I love you” to one person might not mean a thing to another.

Each love language has dialects—personal and powerful ways love is uniquely expressed and received. Miss them, and even the right language can fall flat.

In this long-awaited follow-up, Dr. Chapman and Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott take the world-changing concept of the 5 Love Languages® one step further. They reveal why love often gets lost in translation—and how learning to speak the right dialect at the right time is the key to deeper connection.

Whether you’re dating, decades into marriage, raising children, caring for aging parents, or deepening lifelong friendships, this book provides you with the tools to make love personal and truly felt.

In this thought-provoking manuscript, Andrew Murray-Desmond Tutu Prize winner Siya Khumalo presents a powerful critique of institutional Christianity, arguing that when faith becomes aligned with empire and power structures, it transforms from a prophetic force into a tool for social control and legitimacy.

The work calls for a Christian witness that refuses assimilation into systems that domesticate faith, and for a renewed spirituality that protects conscience from consumption, and practices restraint and accountability rather than domination. It sustains the indictment of empire's capture of religion while calling for a faith that destabilises power, preserves prophetic conscience, and remains true to the vulnerable, crucified Saviour who judges all human authority structures.

It challenges readers to discern when saying “no” to religion becomes an act of faithfulness to the God who stands outside and critiques all human power.

Sometimes our faith needs to be revived.

You started your spiritual life with a burst of joy, feeling deep gratitude to Christ for saving you. You rejoiced with a sense of belonging in the family of God. And likely, you couldn’t wait to open your Bible, to worship, to share your faith with others. But somewhere along the way, your passion for the Lord faded. Your spiritual journey became a slog.

The Rekindled Heart was written for you. Bible teacher and seminary president with a shepherd's heart, Mark Yarbrough helps you rekindle the joy of your salvation by guiding you back to six core essentials for reviving your faith.

Devotion—Bold Trust in God’s Word
Dependence—A Full God-Reliance on God’s Power
Love— Authentic Compassion for Others
Holiness—Relentless Pursuit of God-Honoring Excellence
Servanthood—Genuine Selflessness
World Impact—Courageous Zeal for God’s World

Biblically rich, theologically sound, and with real-life applications that connect to all ages, this book delivers a compelling reminder of the seriousness of following Jesus and the limitless experience of God’s power and provision for anyone who believes His Word.

The current meta crisis--hastening authoritarianism, regional wars, the cost of living crisis, climate collapse, and the Sixth Extinction--confronts Christ followers with trenchant injustice throughout the world. Our context is a moment of prophetic invitation. How can Christians, especially generationally privileged disciples, live out Christ's radical invitation to act justly, love mercifully, and live into authentic wholeness among the marginalized and oppressed, rather than subscribing to faith in Christ from a position of power?

In South Africa, for example our story is one of longed-for reparation, to restore what has been stolen and repair what has been broken by apartheid. In our opportunity to heal our wounded history, there is a role for winsome stories, of successes and failures among Christians, who are finding ways into deeper faith--stories of engagement with injustice, trauma, and grief, and discovering with Christ pathways into authentic wholeness.

Here, five South African writers integrate autobiography, theology, philosophy, and spirituality, in the hope that our stories may resource faith communities worldwide, and especially the young, who are radically integrating their lives to the pattern of Jesus's justice, grief, and wholeness, to bear peace in a disintegrating world.
