Wanneer ’n mens se lewe vreeslik deurmekaar voel met niks wat reg uitwerk nie, mense wat siek word, vriende wat vreemde dinge doen en wêreldwye chaos, het jongmense ’n anker nodig.

As gelowiges is ons grootste lewensanker God en sy Woord. Gewilde skrywer Ewald van Rensburg ken die harte van kinders en jongmense, en hy verstaan hulle vrae en twyfel. Met die opbouende en inspirerende verhale in hierdie 365 Skrifgebaseerde oordenkings wil hy opnuut vir jong tieners hoop bring in ’n wankelende wêreld. Die oordenkings fokus op God se ewige liefde en trou, en sy redding deur Jesus Christus deur vanaf Genesis tot Openbaring chronologies deur die Bybel te werk. Elke kort oordenking word gevolg deur ’n kort gebed.

Conquer Your Mountains is a 52-week devotional for Christian professionals who want to make a difference and see life from a higher perspective. It contains contemplative prayers, self-reflection exercises, thought provoking messages and a fictional allegory of a spiritual journey with God.

This book is designed to help the reader understand and engage with the invisible and almighty works of God in their daily lives. Even though the symbol and theme of mountains are used throughout this powerful book, it is not a book about nature but rather a book about the divine nature of God and who we are to Him as his creations.

As the reader engages with each of the 52 weeks in this devotional, a deep transformational work will begin that may positively change the readers’ outlook on God, life, finance, work, relationships, purpose, and everything else.

Why does the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ have such power? Why Christ Died dives in and seeks to answer that question.

Delving deep into Scripture, Tamryn Klintworth declares and explores the truths that supports the blood, sacrifice, suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and what this truly means to humankind.

We do not like speaking about sin. It makes us uncomfortable. It raises guilty memories and past regrets. Nonetheless, we cannot avoid discussing it if we truly want to understand what Jesus achieved for us.

You can be assured that the love God has for you is indescribable. His devotion to you is unwavering and radical. He forged a way for you to be with Him forever through the blood that was shed by His Son. He wants you desperately. He yearns for you relentlessly. But will you accept His love for you? This decision is yours and yours alone.

Is jy op soek na vrede? ’n Kalm oomblik te midde van die chaos? Voel dit of selfs één dag sonder bekommernisse eenvoudig buite jou bereik is?

Riekert Botha se raad om ons woeste wêreld te navigeer, is reguit: Fokus op Jesus. Wanneer jou hele lewe op Hom gefokus is, word jou visie helder, jou prioriteite duidelik en onmoontlike situasies hanteerbaar. Jy kan rus in die wete dat Jesus jou krag is en dat Hy al is wat jy nodig het. Hý is jou stilte in die storm.

Wees oor niks besorg nie is ’n treffer-dagboek met 366 dagstukke wat jou sal lei om elke dag daarop te fokus om Jesus, jou Verlosser, beter te leer ken sodat jy kan groei in ’n meer volwasse volgeling wat ook vir die wêreld sal wys hoekom Jesus ook die antwoord op húl soeke na vrede is.

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.

A collection of true-life stories gripped with pain, heartache, tests and trials of every nature imaginable. When enduring these difficult seasons in life, we rarely see God or the good in these catastrophic events that threatened to overtake us. Rather, we are threatened by depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, grief and heartache.

Like any soldier in action on the battlefield, you don’t have time to nurse your wounds while you fight to live. Only when the battle is over and you can find rest, can you adequately assess your wounds and the damage they might have caused. It is then you realise had it not been for God, you would not have made it that far – if it at all.

As you take stock of your pain and difficulties, you realise He was always guiding and protecting you. You realise just as the cross had a purpose for the resurrection, your pain also had a purpose and you are a stronger person because of it. Everything worked out for your good. The attacks your enemies used in their attempts to kill you, became weapons you get to uplift and empower others. When you convert your pain into purpose, you have activated your God-given power. It is the power and authority to trample on serpents as He intended of you and for you.

Biblical fiction retelling of Noah and the Ark.

Zara and Noah have walked together with the Creator for their entire lives, and they have done their best in an increasingly wicked and defiant world to raise their three sons to follow in their footsteps. It has been a challenge--and it's about to get much, much harder.

When the Creator tells her husband to build an ark to escape the coming wrath against the sins of humankind, Zara steps out with him in faith. But the derision and sabotage directed their way from both friends and extended family are difficult to bear, as is knowing that everyone she interacts with beyond her husband, her sons, and their wives is doomed to destruction. And when the ark is finally finished and the animals have been shut up inside, Zara and her family embark on an adventure that will test their patience and their faith as they await deliverance and dry ground.

Experience the story of Noah and the flood like you never have before. With bestselling and award-winning author Jill Eileen Smith as your guide, you'll never look at a rainbow the same way again.

Alle Sondaars Welkom is ’n mengelmoes gedagtes oor God en sy mense wat oor die laaste paar jaar geskryf is.

Jaco Strydom motiveer lesers om te leer by groot geeste in die verlede en die vreemde wesens wat ronddwaal in die hede; community met ander soekers te ontdek; in verwondering te staan voor die misterie en nuut te kyk na Jesus.

Die boek sal jou uitdaag om saam te soek na die wilde waarheid, na geloof te midde van ongeloof, bygeloof, misterie en verwondering.

Nadat Ockert en Michele Potgieter getroud is, het hulle hul tasse gepak en vertrek Oekraïne toe, nie vir hulle wittebrood nie, maar om daar te werk onder die mense wat onlangs bevry is van agter die ystergordyn.

Dit is egter ’n groot ontnugtering vir Michele in die begin – dit is yskoud in die winter en snikwarm in die somer. Die meeste huise het net buitetoilette en daar is min verskeidenheid in basiese kruideniersware. Die mense is baie vriendelik en hulle word meestal met oop arms verwelkom. Maar alles is nie altyd maklik nie, daar is ’n noue ontkoming met die mafia, agtervolging deur die KGB en verraad van binne die gemeente. Dan sterf Ockert tydens die Covid 19-pandemie tydens ’n besoek aan Suid-Afrika. Michele moet besluit of sy teruggaan Oekraïne toe, waar ’n oorlog dreig en of sy in Suid-Afrika by haar mense en haar kinders bly.

Dit is ’n aangrypende verhaal oor liefde: liefde vir God, vir die mense van die Oekraïne, maar ook die liefde tussen Michele, Ockert en hul kinders.

Daniel's story is one of extraordinary faith in God lived out at the pinnacle of executive power.

It tells of four teenage friends, born in the tiny state of Judah about twenty-six centuries ago, but captured by Nebuchadnezzar, emperor of Babylon. Daniel describes how they eventually rose to the top echelons of administration. Daniel and his friends did not simply maintain their private devotion to God; they maintained a high-profile witness in a pluralistic society antagonistic to their faith. That is why their story has such a powerful message for us. Society tolerates the practice of Christianity in private and in church services, but it increasingly deprecates public witness. If Daniel and his compatriots were with us today they would be in the vanguard of the public debate.

What was it that gave that ancient foursome, Daniel and his three friends, the strength and conviction to be prepared, often at great risk, to swim against the flow?

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.

He passed the gruelling training to join the SAS, crossed the North Atlantic in an open inflatable boat, and held the highest ever open-air formal dinner party, in a balloon at 25,000 feet.

But the hardest thing he has ever had to face, he says, is the death of his father. It was then, age 25, that he found what he describes in an interview with the Telegraph as 'a really lovely quiet faith that has been a powerful thing in our lives'.

As he wrote in GQ magazine, 'Faith doesn't mean you have to be especially "religious". But, in a nutshell, my faith tells me that I am known, that I am secure and that I am loved - regardless of the storms I may find myself in from time to time, regardless of how often I fall and fail.'

For the first time, in this open, brave and honest book, Bear reveals the inspiration that helps him to stand strong and find peace each day. These daily readings - exploring themes of friendships, failure, courage, risk, and much more - show us all how to face each day with purpose and power.

The spiritual vision of Trobisch's classic answers to love's questions is reproduced here in a new edition.

Courage isn’t something that comes naturally to most. The only way to truly be brave is to walk in the confidence that comes from knowing God and relying on him to be your strength.

When you spend time with him, he will fill you with peace and hope for the future. When you finally see yourself as God sees you, you will recognize the talents and abilities you have been blessed with and start operating in the fullness of those gifts.

Be encouraged with truth as you spend time with God, reflecting on these devotions, scriptures, and prayers. Let him show you that you are beautiful, you are strong, and you were created with a purpose. Take courage in God’s love for you and be ready to conquer each day!
