In this ten-lesson study guide, bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah shows Christians why it is critical in these perilous times to focus more on who they are than simply what they do. In his previous book, Is This the End?, Dr. Jeremiah walked readers through the many cultural and spiritual challenges that are rapidly increasing in this divisive world. Although Jesus made it clear that no one knows the day or the hour of his return, many have been wondering if the end indeed is near.Regardless of whether this time is just around the corner or far in the future, the days are challenging to say the least. Many are wondering what will happen next and how Christians are going to be prepared for the societal onslaught that is building against many people of faith. A Life Beyond Amazing answers these questions as Dr. Jeremiah unpacks spiritual principles that help believers develop a strategy for life. He reveals that though human answers have failed them, God has given his wisdom-the ability to do the right thing without a precedent-for these days.In addition to cultural application and important updates on crucial issues, this study guide explores nine qualities of character that will carry believers forward. Three of these have to do with their relationship with themselves; three deal with their relationships with other people; and three of them focus on their relationship with God. Each lesson also includes:An outline of the main subjects and Scriptures covered during the lessonAn overview of Dr. Jeremiah's teaching on the topic being studiedApplication questions to help individuals and small groups delve into the BibleA Did You Know? section that adds a point of interest to the lesson

Daar woed elke dag, die hele dag lank, ’n onsigbare oorlog om vroue. Dit kan nie gesien of gehoor word nie, maar dit kan in elke aspek van ’n mens se lewe gevoel word. ’n Onwrikbare, bose vyand wil chaos veroorsaak in alles wat vir ’n vrou saak maak: haar hart, gedagtes, huwelik, kinders, verhoudings, drome en toekoms. Maar sy oorlogsplan behels dat hy haar onverhoeds en ongewapen moet vang.

In die Bybelstudie Die wapenrusting van God, deur New York Times-topverkoperouteur en motiveringspreker Priscilla Shirer, word vroue met behulp van Skrifstudie en besprekingsvrae toegerus met die wapenrusting van God, waarvan gebed die belangrikste is.

Die wapenrusting van God is meer as net ’n Bybelse beskrywing van ’n gelowige se wapenrusting; dit is ’n 7-week-aksieplan om oorwinning te behaal in die geestelike stryd.

What makes life meaningful? More to the point, what makes our life meaningful? Without a good answer to that question, we can expend much energy and experience much anxiety as we attempt to live lives of significance, only to find that in the end we missed the point entirely and along the way were deeply dissatisfied. But there is hope. In Why You Matter, Michael Sherrard shows that life is only meaningful if God exists. He then shows how that fundamental fact provides clarity for some of the most important questions of our lives, including - Who am I? - How should I treat others? - What should I do with my life? - How do I make sense of suffering? If you have struggled with a sense of self-worth and direction in your life, or if you have a friend, colleague, or family member who is searching for meaning in a world of suffering, chaos, and uncertainty, Why You Matter will give you confidence that your life matters--but maybe not for the reasons you think.

Biblical Christianity In African Perspective is a survey of the major truths of the Christian faith as seen from the perspective of the African world view.

The book addresses the major tenets of the Christian faith together with some of the most important moral and spiritual issues of African life. Unlike most theology books, this book has been purposely written in readable everyday language, including many true African stories. The book was written by a person with 50 years of study in the Word of God, who has spent over 40 of those years relating the Bible to African life and issues.

It is the result of five years of graduate research and evaluation in consultation with more than 300 African theological students and faculty in various schools.
