Isaiah 55:11 says, "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing which I sent it." NKJV As you go from day to day or night to night, you too can start experiencing life in a 'new' light.

You will receive and experience your blessing(s) as you turn the page to a new day each day of your life from year to year. This will be the one book you will need to get you through to the next year.

A milestone in the history of popular theology, 'The Screwtape
Letters' is an iconic classic on spiritual warfare and the power of
the devil. This profound and striking narrative takes the form of a
series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal
Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged
in his first mission on earth trying to secure the damnation of a
young man who has just become a Christian. Although the young man
initially looks to be a willing victim, he changes his ways and is
'lost' to the young devil. Dedicated to Lewis's friend and
colleague J.R.R. Tolkien, 'The Screwtape Letters' is a timeless
classic on spiritual conflict and the invisible realities which are
part of our religious experience.
“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.
In this collection, poet Sarah Law presents lucid, lyrical
reflections on the much-loved saint, Therese of Lisieux (1873-97),
whose life and writing has been an inspiration to so many people.
For Sarah Law, there is something about Therese that catches at the
heart, and her poems flow from that sense of friendship and
tenderness with her subject. Many of the poems meditate on events,
large and small, in Therese's brief but spiritually significant
life. The first section explores her childhood, and the second, her
nine precious years as a Carmelite nun; years of both sweetness and
suffering. Several poems are inspired by well-known photographs of
Therese, some of which are included in this volume. A final section
considers Therese's legacy, as her 'little way' of confidence and
love became known throughout the world. Each poem may be read as an
individual reflection, and as part of the larger biographical
sequence.

With 16.3 million members and 44,000 churches, the Southern Baptist
Convention is the largest Baptist group in the world, and the
largest Protestant denomination in the United States. Unlike the
so-called mainstream Protestant denominations, Southern Baptists
have remained stubbornly conservative, refusing to adapt their
beliefs and practices to modernity's individualist and populist
values. Instead, they have held fast to traditional orthodoxy in
such fundamental areas as biblical inspiration, creation,
conversion, and miracles. Gregory Wills argues that Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary has played a fundamental role in the
persistence of conservatism, not entirely intentionally. Tracing
the history of the seminary from the beginning to the present,
Wills shows how its foundational commitment to preserving orthodoxy
was implanted in denominational memory in ways that strengthened
the denomination's conservatism and limited the seminary's ability
to stray from it. In a set of circumstances in which the seminary
played a central part, Southern Baptists' populist values bolstered
traditional orthodoxy rather than diminishing it. In the end, says
Wills, their populism privileged orthodoxy over individualism. The
story of Southern Seminary is fundamental to understanding Southern
Baptist controversy and identity. Wills's study sheds important new
light on the denomination that has played - and continues to play -
such a central role in our national history.

This small booklet tries to set out some of the basic teaching of
the Bible about itself. If the Bible is the source book of our
Christian Faith then we must have confidence in it. Our
spirituality depends upon it. I define Spirituality as simply our
relationship with God. In the Bible we understand what God is like.
How we can have a relationship with Him. How we can converse with
Him in prayer. How we can lead lives that are pleasing to Him. Many
today, even within the Church, have lost confidence in God. They
are not sure if they can trust His Word, rely on His promises, or
whether it is possible to have a personal relationship with Him.
