Not every Christian needs to go to seminary, but there are certain teachings of the Bible that every Christian should know. Whether you're a relatively new believer in Jesus or a mature Christian looking for a better understanding of basics of the faith, Christian Beliefs is for you.
This readable guide to twenty basic Christian beliefs condenses Wayne Grudem's award-winning book Systematic Theology, prized by pastors and teachers everywhere. He and his son, pastor Elliot Grudem, have boiled down the essentials of theology for everyday Christians and made them both clear and applicable to life. Each brief chapter concludes with questions for personal review or group discussion.
In this revised and updated edition of Christian Beliefs, you will learn about:
- The Bible and its authority for our lives
- The characteristics of God
- The importance of prayer
- Angels and the reality of spiritual warfare
- What it means that we are created in the image of God
- What God has done for us in Christ
- The purpose of the church
- What will happen when Christ returns
- The biblical understanding of heaven
- And much more
Christian Beliefs is the ideal book for every Christian who wants a solid foundation for understanding the most basic and essential teachings of the Bible.
Exodus is the Rosetta stone for unlocking the Old Testament and the
thread of redemption throughout Scripture. The exodus served as the
primary model of God’s idea of redemption, not just in the Old
Testament but even in the New, where it is used as one of the keys to
understanding the meaning of the cross of Christ. Over six sessions,
participants in this Bible study will walk through the first 15
chapters of Exodus. You’ll relive the experience as God hears the cries
of His people and responds by sending a deliverer, ultimately giving us
a pattern for recognizing His work in the world. (6 sessions)
Session Topics:
• Problem
• Deliverer
• Discouragement
• Deliverance
• Redemption
• Worship
This book will teach you how to take hope in God because of how God restored, vindicated, and made His name great in the lives of people like Job, Joseph, and Abraham. It will give you the encouragement you need to believe that God can work the same power in your life.
You have faced challenges—financial, emotional, physical, relational, ministerial, and business. It is often in the midst of these tests, trials, and difficulties that God prepares you to move into a new season of expansion. Even though the circumstances feel uncomfortable and victory may be hard to see, you will recuperate from devastation and not a moment of it will be wasted. Take comfort in knowing God will remember and vindicate every tear you’ve cried and will restore to you more than what the enemy stole and the locust ate.
Breaking open fresh revelations from the Psalms and Proverbs and examining snapshots of the lives of Gideon, Joseph, Abraham, and Job, You Shall Recover All will encourage you to know that through the tests and trials you thought had come to diminish you, God is actually turning them around for your good and preparing you for greatness. It may be tempting to give up hope or throw in the towel, but do not give in to discouragement, hopelessness, depression, doubt, or defeat. Despite what you see, God is still on the throne.
There is hope for you and your world. What the enemy means for bad, God turns around for your good. For all that you’ve pressed through and endured, let God put a new level of honor on your life. He will take you from least to greatest, and you shall recover all!

Legendary for an unusual combination of spiritual power, beauty,
charisma, showmanship, intimidation, and shrewd business sense,
Marie Leveau also was known for her kindness and charity, nursing
yellow fever victims and ministering to condemned prisoners, and
her devotion to the Roman Catholic Church. In separating verifiable
fact from semi-truths and complete fabrication, Carolyn Morrow Long
explores the unique social, political, and legal setting in which
the lives of Laveau's African and European ancestors became
intertwined in nineteenth-century New Orleans.
A woman’s tale of the transformative power of walking Britain’s
ancient pilgrim paths. ‘Phoebe Smith is a splendid writer and an
inspiring traveller’ Bill Bryson Faced with turning 35 – and
seeing friends settle down, get married, have kids – Phoebe Smith
found herself ending a long‐term relationship, considering giving
up her dream job and asking herself what actually is the point
of… everything? On an assignment to walk the most famous
pilgrimage in the world – the Camino de Santiago, in northern
Spain – Phoebe experiences a moment of self-discovery shared by
many who travel these ancient trails. And so, having spent a
lifetime in solo exploration of unfamiliar places, she suddenly
resolved to return to her native Britain and follow in the
footsteps of generations of saints (and sinners) in the hope of
‘finding herself’ once more and confronting the things that
scared her the most. But what is a pilgrimage? Why are so many
people undertaking them now? How do you become a pilgrim? And how
do you know what you are seeking? These are the questions Phoebe
grapples with as she undertakes a series of journeys – some
familiar and some little-known – the length and breadth of the
British Isles. Along the way she contemplates love and loss in her
life, the role of contemplation and silence in pilgrimage, and the
sudden camaraderie shared endeavour brings. Until, high on a
windswept cliff, she arrives at an epiphany: the ending of one
trail is always the start of another.
