War of Words, Getting to the Heart of Your Communication Struggles
We speak thousands of words every day.
Few things we do are more important. Underneath the normality of daily
speech lies a great struggle—a war of words with high stakes and
life-changing consequences.
With characteristic vulnerability and Christ-centeredness, Paul Tripp
shows that the gospel can utterly transform the way we communicate. The
Word made flesh offers us hope for our words—giving us the power to
speak words that restore, words that heal, words that bring life. In
our war, the Lord Jesus is the one who gives us the victory.
With the aid of personal assessments and discussion questions, use this
incisive book to renew your reliance on your heavenly Father’s abundant
grace and better pursue speech that honors Christ and benefits others.
Winning the war of words means never forgetting who we are. When we
remember that we are what we are because of God’s mercy alone, we speak
with gentleness and humility as God’s restorers
For over one hundred years, Christians have gotten up and gone to bed
with Charles Spurgeon's devotional Morning and Evening as a companion.
With a reading to begin and end each day throughout the year, you will
come to appreciate Spurgeon's emphasis on the importance of abiding in
Christ and meditating on God's Word. His wisdom and counsel provide a
timeless guide through the trials and triumphs of the year. The
richness of his biblical understanding offers readers a look into the
heart of one of England's foremost pastors and enduring Christian
authors.
His lasting message is even more accessible with Alistair Begg's
careful modernizing of Spurgeon's English. Begg, who has a deep love
for Spurgeon's preaching and especially for this work, has maintained
Spurgeon's clear passion and commitment to Christ. Using the English
Standard Version as the scriptural text provides an accurate,
understandable accompaniment to Spurgeon's lessons.
Morning and Evening: A New Edition of the Classic Devotional Based on
The Holy Bible, English Standard Version is a updated version is a
timely and much-needed encouragement for today's Christian.
With a selection of 4 different designs, inspirational sayings, and
sentiments to choose from, your metal surfaces will bloom with beauty.

Jesus the High Road Leader, Follow the Path He Wants Us to Travel
The most important words Jesus ever spoke were, “Follow me.” But how
are we to follow him in a divided world with so much bitterness, anger,
and hate? How can we love God and love our neighbor as ourselves? We
can do it the same way Jesus did: by taking the high road!
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus told people to love their enemies,
turn the other cheek, and go the extra mile. What he said can be summed
up this way: “Take the high road.” That’s the road Jesus took. He was a
high-road leader. His words and his actions made it clear he wants us
to:
• Value All People
• Give More than We Take
• Embrace Authenticity
• Do the Right Things for the Right Reasons
• Place People Above Our Agenda
• Bring People Together in a World that Divides
Best-selling authors John C. Maxwell and Chris Hodges show how every
step of Jesus’ walk on earth was on the high road, and they explain how
you can take that same path. Immerse yourself in the life of Jesus, and
you will be equipped and inspired to take the high road in every
situation, just like he did. When you do, you will be most like him.
You will be salt and light in a world that desperately needs it.

In the world today promises are so easily broken. We can’t rely on
others to tell the truth and keep their word. Only God can be trusted
to keep His word. His promises ground us and give us courage and hope.
His promises are a covenant, a bond and a token of abiding love.
Promises Kept is a 6-week Bible study in which Bible teacher Courtney
Reissig explores five Old Testament covenants—promises—with the goal of
seeing God’s beautiful storyline. What are the purposes of God’s
covenants and how do they inform and transform the way we live? During
these six weeks, you will discover the meaning of God’s Covenant with
Adam, Abraham, the Exodus and Passover, the Mosaic Covenant, God’s
Covenant with David, and the New Covenant promised. You will see God’s
purposes for His people, your place in His purposes, and how the entire
Bible fits together. Additionally, you will see how Jesus fulfills
God’s loving covenants.
Each day can be completed in 20–30 minutes, with rest days included. In
the process of this study, you will learn and employ an interpretive
method: observe, interpret, and apply. This simple yet indispensable
tool is a gift that will equip and bless all further Bible study. As
you dive into God’s precious promises to the people He loves, you’ll
find your heart strengthened and encouraged to face your days with
greater love and courage.

van die boek ’n 40-dae-gebedsreis wat jou sal help om jou vrae in

God passionately longs to be your friend and invites you with an outstretched hand to a life grounded in Divine Friendship.
In Daily Invitations: To A Life Grounded In Divine Friendship, a 366-day devotional, you will be guided daily to accept this invitation through:
- Scripture
- Reflection
- Prayer
However, this newly friendship does not remove you from everyday life. Another feature, the daily practice, will ensure that your friendship with God is grounded in ordinary life - where you struggle at work, you are having health problems, when your relationships are not working out. On taking his outstretched hand into yours, you will discover that you are not alone, and will never be. In fact, you will realise that nothing can separate you from his Divine Friendship.
Elke mens het deel aan twee węrelde: die fisiese węreld waarvan jy jou
met jou sintuie kan vergewis, en die geesteswęreld waarvan ’n mens nie
langs fisiese kanale insig kan kry nie. Die feit dat sommige mense die
bestaan van hierdie geesteswęreld ontken, beteken beslis nie dat dit
nie bestaan nie of dat ons nie deel is daarvan nie.
In Die geesteswęreld werp Isak Burger lig op hierdie onsienlike węreld
rondom ons. Hy fokus op vyf hoofdele:
• Die realiteit van die geesteswęreld
• God en die geesteswęreld
• Die engele
• Satan en sy demone
• Die gelowige en die geesteswęreld
Isak Burger wys gelowiges in hierdie boek daarop dat dit noodsaaklik is
om kennis te neem van die geesteswęreld en wat daarin gebeur, want dit
raak ons elkeen.
Few things in life are more frustrating than knowing you need to

Power to Change includes helpful exercises, real-life stories, and
life-changing spiritual insights. Whether you are trying to lose
weight, breathe new life into your marriage, read the Bible more, get
out of debt, or give up an addiction, Craig's step-by-step, time-tested
strategies will equip you to start living the life God wants for you.
