A helpful handbook on doctrinal theology Pieper's
As Christians, we know that we should become more like Jesus - so
we try to act differently. But changing our outward behaviour
doesn't change our hearts. Only God's grace can do that. Renovation
of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for spiritual
transformation, exploring the disciplines and practices that are
crucial if we are to be changed from the inside out. Immensely
profound but also practical and encouraging, Dallas Willard's
insightful wisdom challenges us to rethink what it really means to
become more Christlike and how we do so. This special 20th
anniversary edition - featuring a new introduction by John Mark
Comer, revised discussion questions and a never before published
interview with Dallas Willard - shows that this dynamic and
practical approach to spiritual growth is just as needed today as
it was 20 years ago. It will both challenge and inspire you on the
path of becoming more like Jesus and equip you to engage actively
and intentionally in your spiritual formation. Renovation of the
Heart has helped countless Christians begin the process of
spiritual transformation. It is ideal both for anyone new to the
Christian faith looking for guidance in discipleship, and those who
are already Christians and want a new approach to help their
spiritual growth and reaffirm their faith. Don't settle for
complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers
and discover what Dallas Willard describes as a divine process that
"brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into
harmony with the will of God." Become an intentional apprentice of
Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.

“Moet ek eers wag tot ek dood is voordat ek God se wil verstaan?” So
begin Stephan Joubert sy boek God se wil vir jou lewe.
Op sy unieke manier doen Stephan Joubert ’n diepgaande ondersoek na
hierdie vraag om vas te stel hoe ons nou al God se wil kan ken. Die
boek is verdeel in twee dele:
• Deel 1 is 9 hoofstukke waarin Stephan onder andere kyk na die
misterie van God se wil, Jesus as die gesig van God se wil, reëls oor
God se wil en vensters op God se wil.
• Deel 2 is 31 Bybelstudies, vir individue of groepe, wat die
verskillende fasette van God se wil bekyk, waaronder: Verander God se
wil my in ’n robot?, Mag ek vrae vra oor God se wil? en vele meer.
God se wil vir jou lewe wys dat God se wil vir ons duidelik in die
Bybel gegee word en dat ons dus nie tot ons dood hoef te wag om dit te
verstaan nie. Dit is moontlik om elke dag in blydskap en volkome binne
God se wil te leef.

This work presents a sustained reflection on the New Testament
vision of God's revelation of his glory in Christ. This divine
"appearing" is grounded in the self-emptying of the eternal Logos
in the incarnation, cross and descent into hell, yet this is the
means whereby his glory is manifested and enriches all who are
seized by its beauty.
Willie Esterhuyse is 'n produk en kind van Suid-Afrika;
wereldbekend as denker, spreker en raadgewer vir staatsleiers. Sy
passie vir reis bring hom uit by oerbeskawings waar hy godsdiens se
geboorte sien. Tydens besoeke aan Malta raak hy vertroud met die
eilandjie se onstuimige voorgeskiedenis en erfenisterreine. Hy
ontdek veral die arena vir die konflik tussen Christene en Moslems,
'n kwessie wat vandag die wereld aan die praat en vrees het. In
opvolg van, God en die gode van Egipte, en Die God van Genesis,
sluit hy die trilogie af met Geagte Jahwe. Meesterlik besluit hy om
direk 11 briewe te rig aan God op sy Bybelse noemnaam, Jahwe.
Hierin kan Willie vlymskerp die kernsake van ons tyd oopsny en
basiese lewensvrae oopboor, soos die stryd tussen gelowe,
ineenstorting van samelewings. Hy bied ook rigting vir soekende
denkers oor 'n ander kyk op God vir ons tyd. Willie daag ons uit om
verder te dink: met die "gees van omgee" wat verby die stukkkend en
seer kyk - na 'n wereld wat menslik en leefbaar vir almal is.
'It is in great simplicity that great beauty is revealed, and only
then may we discover where God truly hides.' In this moving
exploration of the path to understanding God's presence, Liam
Lawton considers how we bring spiritual awakening and consolation
into our lives, in every circumstance. Taking inspiration from the
gentle, age-old wisdom of the Book of Ecclesiastes - 'There is a
time for everything, and a season for everything under the sun' -
he begins his journey of reflection and contemplation. Over its
course, Liam shares remarkable stories of God's revelation in
ordinary human life and of the people and events that have touched
him during his years of ministry, along with fascinating
perspectives on his own spiritual awakening. 'These pages reveal a
God who does not intrude upon human living but rather is available
to enter into the very depth of it and become present to those who
wish for 'eyes to see and ears to hear'. Here are stories of pain
and beauty, challenge and consolation, but, above all, inspiration'

Serena Fass has attempted to illustrate Jesus' Great Commission:
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved." (Mark 16: 15 - 16)
and has presented a balance between the many different strands of
the Christian faith, for each century, from the earliest Christians
in Pompeii until today, and criss-crossing the globe from North to
South: from Norway to Mozambique - and West to East: from Peru to
Australia. Categories include architecture, painting, sculpture,
ivories, textiles, metalwork, jewellery and portraits of people
wearing crosses, as well as examples of the cross in nature.
