'n Reis na innerlike vrede en wysheid - Hierdie 365 oordenkings verken elke aspek van die Gebed om kalmte en hoe jy dit daagliks op jou lewe kan toepas.

Ons lewe is gejaagd. Ons omstandighede – goed en sleg – stoot ons hiernatoe en daarnatoe. Ons voel asof gebeurtenisse buite ons beheer ons lewe bepaal. Ons smag na vrede, na ’n plek waar veiligheid en rus is. As antwoord op hierdie soeke na vrede herinner die geliefde predikant en skrywer Trevor Hudson lesers aan die beproefde wysheid in die alombekende Gebed om kalmte:

God, skenk my die gemoedskalmte, om die dinge te aanvaar wat ek nie kan verander nie, die moed om die dinge te verander wat ek kan, en die wysheid om te weet wat die verskil is.

Hierdie 365 oordenkings verken elke aspek van hierdie gebed en hoe jy dit daagliks op jou lewe kan toepas. Namate jy die Gebed om kalmte gebruik as gids om elke dag in vriendskap met jou Here en Skepper te lewe, sal God se geskenk van vrede jou lewe vul en deur jou vloei waar jy jou ook al bevind. Elke oordenking word afgesluit met ’n praktiese voorstel hoe jy hierdie gebed elke dag kan uitleef. Só sal jou lewe ál meer op God gefokus word, en sal jy die innerlike vrede ervaar waarna jou hart smag.

It can be difficult to make daily Bible reading a habit with children. But reading the Bible individually or together, whether young or old, helps us to know God better and understand what He wants for our lives. This illustrated Bible storybook makes reading the Bible easier and enjoyable for children aged 6-10.

Although both stories and Bible passages are rewritten for a younger readership, they are based on reliable and trusted translations and always reference to where the stories can be found in the Bible. The 365 stories or passages are each accompanied by a thought or question, as well as a prayer, to help both children and adults engage with the message of the Bible and how it might encourage us in our day-to-day lives.

The book can be used as a daily family devotional or as a way for children to start or end each day with God as they read it themselves. If you’d like to read the devotions in order of the books of the Bible, an index at the back will guide you.

Holy Fear is not a topic you'll hear much about these days. But if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford to ignore this book.

In The Awe of God: The Astounding Way A Healthy Fear Of God Transforms Your Life, John Bevere invites you to take a fresh look at what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful life.

In this book you will see why godly fear is the foundation of:

• Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge
• Foresight, clarity, and divine direction
• Maturity and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ
• Building an eternal legacy
• Confidence, fearlessness, and security
• Freedom from the fear of man as all lesser fears are eclipsed

If you look at the men and women in Scripture, the ones who lived and finish well all have one thing in common: they are marked by holy fear.

The Awe of God was designed to be read slowly and intentionally. At the end of each of the 42 chapters are five tools to help you deepen your understanding and apply what the Spirit of God is teaching you. Experience the intimate relationship with God that you have always longed for by unlocking this countercultural message.

Katherine Willis Pershey has never slept with the mailman or kissed an ex-boyfriend. Good thing, since she’s married. But simply not committing adultery does not give you the keys to “happily ever after,” as Pershey has come to find out in her own marriage and in her work as a pastor. What is this sacred covenant that binds one person to another, and what elements of faith and fidelity sustain it? In Very Married: Field Notes on Love and Fidelity, Pershey opens the book on all things marital. With equal parts humor and intelligence, Pershey speaks frankly about the challenges and consolations of modern marriage. As she shares her own tales of bliss and blunder, temptation and deliverance, Pershey invites readers to commit once again to the joyful and difficult work of cherishing another person. For better or worse. For life.

There was no one he knew. No one to care what happened to him. As he tossed and turned trying to fall asleep, his mind would suddenly begin to panic and scream out in protest, How did I get myself into this?

A pastor living in Communist Russia, Nickolai Panchuk struggled as a prisoner of the KGB to find his purpose. Persecuted for his Christian faith, Nickolai remained in a Siberian camp for eight years, refusing to sacrifice his faith and suffering the consequences. Harassed, beaten, and dejected, Nickolai found hope in the unlikeliest source: an old ox named Maksim.

With the help and strength of God, Nickolai and Maksim worked together to perform a weekly miracle witnessing for Christ in the most disparaging of circumstances and winning souls along the way.

Soos die ganse Ou Testament afgestem was op die koms van die beloofde Messias, so is die Nuwe Testament afgestem op sy reële koms en die totstandkoming van die nuwe Israel. Die skrywer hou daarvan om die kronologie, tydvak en kulturele atmosfeer rondom ’n gebeurtenis of persoon te ondersoek en poog om die stof toeganklik te maak, met herkenbare raakpunte van die lewe vandag. Die daaglikse lewe en geografie in die wêreld van die Nuwe Testament word nagevors. Die universeel menslike dilemma word weerspieël in die tema van alle musiek en literatuur: Verloor, soek, vind. Die goue draad van die verlossingsgeskiedenis bly behoue tot waar dit aangegee word na die evangelieskrywers vir die krip in Betlehem en daarna aan die apostels van Christus, tot by die boek Openbaring.

Neels Jackson, kerkjoernalis van byna 30 jaar, glo dat godsdiens grootliks gaan oor die nakoming van Jesus se oproep om Hom te volg. Vir hom het Jesus se liefde egter bepalende implikasies vir die gay debat. Sy empatie en liefde vir gay mense moet verstaan word in die lig van Jesus se onvoorwaardelike liefde vir die randfigure van sy tyd en hoe Hy teenoor die Fariseërs opgetree het. Die skrywer ontleed die sewe gay­tekste in die Bybel binne die konteks waarin dit geskryf is en kom tot die slotsom dat dit niks met homoseksualiteit te doen het nie. Die skrywer vul sy argument aan met die behandeling van 'n aantal misverstande oor gaywees en gay mense, asook ander argumente wat gaywees as sonde veroordeel. Hy voer dan ook aan dat Jesus se verruiming van die wet, asook die verskerping van die wet, vir ons die riglyn moet wees.
