Today we are facing a global crisis when it comes to families. Marriages are under
more pressure than ever. Many children are growing up without experiencing the
security of their parents' love and commitment to each other-and consequently are
finding it harder to receive God's unconditional love. There is an urgent need to invest
in marriage and family life, for strong societies are built on strong families, and
strong families are built on strong marriages.

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.

What Is Wrong with the World?is not a list of answers - it's an invitation to tell the truth. About what hurts. About what we're still carrying. It's for anyone ready to stop performing and start healing.

Beloved pastor and New York Timesbestselling author Timothy Keller offers a hope-filled answer to the question beneath every devastating headline and personal loss: What is wrong with the world?

Everywhere we look, we see brokenness - wars, cruelty, and heartache. We feel it in the world around us and in our own lives. How did it get to be this way? In What Is Wrong with the World?, based on a series of teachings given at Redeemer, Keller argues that the only thing that can account for the world's pain and chaos is what the Bible calls sin. What Is Wrong with the World?is for anyone who: Feels overwhelmed at the state of the world;

Battles with repeated mistakes and poor choices;

Desires more than pat answers to difficult questions;

Wonders how to know joy while still acknowledging pain;

Wants to understand how God's love gives hope even in the hardest of places.

This hugely hopeful book reveals how sin is not simply a "bad" thing we do but something much more subtle and complex, affecting our relationships, our thinking, and every aspect of our existence. And once we recognise sin for what it is, can we find the profound, life-transforming answers our souls long for.

Gebeur daar vandag nog wonderwerke? Groot wonderwerke, soos genesing van terminale siekte en kreupelheid?

Isak Burger vertel in God se wonderbaarlike genesingskrag 11 verstommende ware verhale van gewone mense vir wie daar opreg gebid is en wat bonatuurlik genees is. Saam met die ware verhale van mense wat persoonlik wonderbaarlike wonderwerke beleef het, praat Isak oor die aard van wonderwerke, wonderwerke in die Bybel en die mite dat God en die wetenskap altyd teenoor mekaar gestel moet word.

Dié ware verhale van bonatuurlike genesings sal elkeen wat dit lees, verseker dat jý as gelowige Hom ook kan vra om die onmoontlike te doen. Soms sê Hy ja ...

God se wonderbaarlike genesingskrag getuig van die genade, liefde en genesingskrag van God – Hy wat gister, vandag en tot in ewigheid dieselfde is.

Amid Passing Things is a collection of meditations on all the ways God enters our lives, even when we're unaware. Based on his own life experiences, Franciscan friar Jeremiah Shryock offers both struggles and joys that come in a life that's consciously encountering God-the Holy One all around us-not in some far-off place, but right here and now in this life, amid passing things.

With the extraordinary growth of Christianity in the global south has come the rise of "reverse missions," in which countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America send missionaries to re-evangelize the West. In The Spirit Moves West, Rebecca Kim focuses on South Korea as a case study of how non-Western missionaries evangelize Americans, particularly white Americans. Known as the "Asian Protestant Superpower," South Korea now sends more missionaries abroad than any country except the United States; there are approximately 22,000 Korean missionaries in over 160 countries. Drawing on four years of in-depth interviews, participant observation, and surveys of South Korea's largest non-denominational missionary-sending agency, University Bible Fellowship, Rebecca Kim gives us an inside look at reverse missions. Conducting her research both in the US and South Korea, she studies the motivations and methods of Korean evangelicals who have sought to "bring the gospel back" to America since the 1970s. She also explores how a mission movement from the global South could evolve over time in the West. The Spirit Moves West is the first empirically-grounded examination of a much-discussed phenomenon, which concludes by considering what the future of non-Western, especially Korean, missions will bring.

“I have read no book that more carefully, thoroughly, and tenderly displays Christ’s heart.” — Paul David Tripp, President, Paul Tripp Ministries; author, New Morning Mercies and My Heart Cries Out

Christians know what Jesus Christ has done—but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is “gentle and lowly in heart.” This book reflects on these words, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who he is for sinners and sufferers today.
