How can someone be perfectly imperfect? Isn't

that a contradiction? The Bible is filled with stories

of people with all kinds of flaws and imperfections.

The astounding thing is what happens

when God changes their lives.

Perfectly Imperfect is about people whose true-to-life

stories are found in the New Testament. They

are like us in many ways confused, tempted,

and often afraid, but then they meet Jesus, and

their lives are wonderfully transformed.

Through the character sketches in this book, we

learn how God works with us. We discover something

about the way God transforms us from what

we are into what we can be. In these sometimes

tragic and broken lives, we get a glimpse of how

God renews us and remakes us into people who

are perfectly imperfect.

Alle Sondaars Welkom is ’n mengelmoes gedagtes oor God en sy mense wat oor die laaste paar jaar geskryf is.

Jaco Strydom motiveer lesers om te leer by groot geeste in die verlede en die vreemde wesens wat ronddwaal in die hede; community met ander soekers te ontdek; in verwondering te staan voor die misterie en nuut te kyk na Jesus.

Die boek sal jou uitdaag om saam te soek na die wilde waarheid, na geloof te midde van ongeloof, bygeloof, misterie en verwondering.

"May the Lord grant us all the hope of being saints." Pope Francis recently shared this prayer with the world. We can all become saints. We just have to open our hearts and let God help us. This book introduces a saint for each day of the year-ordinary people who made the choice to love Jesus and give their lives to him. These stories, prayers, and suggestions for becoming holy are designed with our needs and our lives in mind. But this is not your ordinary "Book of Saints." Each day's reflection is designed to inspire and challenge you to become who God intends for you to become. We can do this. But we need the help of the saints!

An invitation to an ordinary yet radical way of life, using historic Christian practices as both inspiring vision and practical instruction for how to encounter the wondrous, mysterious, living God through prayer. Prayer is the source of Jesus's most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus's most audacious promises, and yet, most people--even most Bible-believing Christians--find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing, confusing, or, most often, all of the above. If you've ever felt this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined. In these pages, Tyler Staton--author, pastor, and national director of the 24/7 Prayer movement--addresses common roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God just as you are. Through biblical teaching, powerful storytelling, and insights on historic Christian practices, Staton helps you . . . Express your doubts and disappointments about prayer Discover and practice multiple postures of prayer, including silence, persistence, confession, and more Understand and embrace the wonder and mystery of prayer in everyday life Realize that prayer is a powerful invitation to partner with God in the redemption of a fallen world And, ultimately, open or reopen the line of communication with your Creator and experience afresh his divine power on earth

What does it mean to make Christlike disciples? Discipleship is a common word in churches today. Pastors and leaders are continually looking for resources to help their members develop a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and a closer relationship with Christ. But there's more to discipleship than studying and following Christ's teachings. True discipleship is an invitation to become like Christ; to absorb His passions, behaviors, and wisdom by spending significant time with Him; to engage in a relationship with Him that shapes you into His likeness and in turn, inspires others to do the same. Walk with Me calls pastors, church leaders, teachers, and parents to go beyond basic discipleship and begin to intentionally teach others to be disciplemakers. It explores the importance of teaching mature disciples how their Christ-influenced responses to everyday situations can be used to show others who Jesus is and what it means to be His disciple. With biblical insight, author Hal Perkins explores the call to 'go and make disciples of all nations' and demonstrates how changing the way we act, think, and serve will not only help us fulfill the Great Commission, but also answer the call to love God with all our hearts and minds, and our neighbor as ourselves.

I know many people do not even read scriptural references in most books. I encourage you to read and ponder over all the references including those from the Quran. HOW MANY WAYS TO HEAVEN? Is it 1, 2, 3 or even more ways? This is a matter of life and death. Is God a source of confusion and deception? Will God contradict Himself by changing His words through different Messengers? Jesus clearly said that, 'I am the Way. The Truth and the Life.' Jesus never said He was one of the ways. Question is, are there enough scientific, investigative, prophetic or spiritual evidences to prove the deity or uniqueness of Jesus? What did Mohammed or Quran (Islam) say? How about Gandhi and Buddha? This book further throws light on certain issues in Christianity such as sin, premarital sex, and homosexuality? Is there a gay gene? What is true prosperity? I think that if only material blessings were the critical proof of true prosperity then I think a lot of unbelievers are more loved and more blessed by God. Does Christian dressing matter today? You will discover the hidden message of Laminin.

Spread the spirit of the Christmas season by giving the true love worth giving-God's love. A Love Worth Giving to You at Christmas will remind you that before we can pass love on, we must learn to receive it ourselves. Based on Max Lucado's book A Love Worth Giving, this holiday booklet tells the story of a love that has no bounds, no limits, no end. The Christmas kind of love. A love worth giving to others and to you. There's a problem, though. How can you give something that you never truly received? A Love Worth Giving to You at Christmas will shed light on God's generous gift, giving you the encouragement that you need to: Embrace your place as a dearly loved child in his heavenly family Learn to love others well by living loved Graciously accept the unending love that God has for you Maybe it has something to do with the lavishness of the gift that first Christmas morning, the extravagance of love that came in the form of a tiny, helpless newborn. Consider the gift for a moment, what Jesus really did. He swapped a spotless castle for a grimy stable. He exchanged the worship of angels for the company of killers. Why? Because that's what love does. It puts the beloved before itself. Your soul was more important than his blood. Your eternal life was more important than his earthly life. Your place in heaven was more important to him than his place in heaven, so he gave up his so you could have yours. And that's what extravagant giving is all about. Reminding us of the most priceless gift of all, A Love Worth Giving to You at Christmas invites you to let this love worth giving fill you, flood you, and change you forever.
