It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his
followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually
look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money,
convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the
gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...
BUT WHO DO YOU KNOW WHO LIVES LIKE THAT? DO YOU?
In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart
how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences.
He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then
invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the
dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church
decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he
urges you to join in The Radical Experiment --a one-year journey in
authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that
desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
The emphasis of Managerial Accounting, 13th edition, is on teaching
students to use accounting information to best manage an
organization. Consistent with the practice Hilton pioneered in the
first edition, each chapter is written around a realistic business
or focus company that guides the reader through the topics of that
chapter. Known for balanced examples of Service, Retail, Nonprofit
and Manufacturing companies, Hilton/Platt offers a clear, engaging
writing style that has been praised by instructors and students
alike. The 13th edition of Managerial Accounting offers significant
coverage of contemporary topics such as activity-based costing,
target costing, the value chain, customer profitability analysis,
and throughput costing while also including traditional topics such
as job-order costing, budgeting and performance evaluation.
Revised and updated, with a new chapter on the refugee crisis.
Welcome to the front lines. Everywhere we turn, battle lines are being drawn--traditional marriage vs. gay marriage, pro-life vs. pro-choice, personal freedom vs. governmental protection. Seemingly overnight, culture has shifted to the point where right and wrong are no longer measured by universal truth but by popular opinion. And as difficult conversations about homosexuality, abortion, and religious liberty continue to inject themselves into our workplaces, our churches, our schools, and our homes, Christians everywhere are asking the same question: How are we supposed to respond to all this? In Counter Culture, New York Times bestselling author David Platt shows Christians how to actively take a stand on such issues as poverty, sex trafficking, marriage, abortion, racism, and religious liberty--and challenges us to become passionate, unwavering voices for Christ. Drawing on compelling personal accounts from around the world, Platt presents an unapologetic yet winsome call for Christians to faithfully follow Christ into the cultural battlefield in ways that will prove both costly and rewarding. The lines have been drawn. The moment has come for Christians to rise up and deliver a gospel message that's more radical than even the most controversial issues of our day.
"Sir, your sons have been in a car accident. How quickly can you
get here?" Join Pastor Jeremy Freeman as he shares how the
harrowing phone call that no parent wants to receive would lead to
a miraculous outcome that only God could deliver. When Jeremy and
Emily Freeman's teenage son Caleb was in a devastating car
accident, doctors gave him a 10 percent chance of survival. Fear of
losing a child was all too fresh for the Freemans--their
seven-year-old son, Trey, had died just four years earlier from a
genetic immunodeficiency. But God had other plans. In #butGod,
Jeremy shares the incredible story of Caleb's recovery, the
darkness that nearly overtook their family in the waiting, and the
#butGod movement that captured the prayers of Christians around the
world. #butGod includes heartfelt excerpts from Emily's prayer
journal and encouragement from Jeremy that goes beyond platitudes
to a hard-won trust in God's goodness. The Freeman family's
incredible story offers: Greater understanding of the beauty God
can bring through suffering An honest glimpse of how one family
grew closer together despite grief, tension, and doubt A powerful
example of how God works through the prayers of His people Hope
that only God can provide Whatever sorrow you're walking through,
#butGod leads you to the sweetness found in trusting God with
suffering--and the deeper faith that comes from seeing His purpose
in the pain. Praise for #butGod: "Pastor Jeremy Freeman and his
family have endured crushing disappointment and heartbreak, but
they've also experienced the redemptive and healing power of God.
If you are facing significant challenges, Pastor Jeremy's book
#butGod will build your faith and equip you with the strength to
overcome." --Craig Groeschel, founder and senior pastor of
Life.Church and New York Times bestselling author "There are some
books that when you start reading you cannot put them down. #butGod
is one of those books. This is an amazing story that will captivate
you. You will laugh and cry. You will weep for sorrow and weep for
joy. And in it all, you will see the amazing grace of God and His
sustaining power and love for His children." --Dr. Daniel L. Akin,
President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest,
North Carolina
Reclaim God's vision for your life. Many Christians fall victim to
one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are
idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these
mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to
think about our employment. In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian
Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the
gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the
cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a
punch-in, punch-out mentality - in order to find the freedom of a
work ethic rooted in serving Christ. You'll find answers to some of
the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask:
What factors should matter most in choosing a job? What gospel
principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my
co-workers, and my employees? Is full-time Christian work more
valuable than my job? Is it okay to be motivated by money? How do
you prioritize - or balance - work, family and church
responsibilities? Solidly grounded in the gospel, The Gospel at
Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work
with a challenge of its own - to remember that whom we work for is
infinitely more important than what we do.
A choice lies before you: Either waste your life or live with
risk. Either sit on the sidelines or get in the game. After all,
life was no cakewalk for Jesus, and he didn't promise it would be
any easier for his followers. We shouldn't be surprised by
resistance and persecution. Yet most of us play it safe.
We pursue comfort. We spend ourselves to get more stuff. And we
prefer to be entertained. We are all tempted by the idea of
security, the possibility of a cozy Christianity with no hell at
the end. But what kind of life is that really? It's a far cry from
adventurous and abundant, from truly rich and really full, and it's
certainly not the heights and the depths Jesus calls us to.
Discover in these pages a foundation for fearlessness. Hear God's
promise to go with you into the unknown. And let Risk Is Right help
you see the joys of a faith-filled and seriously rewarding life of
Jesus-dependent abandon
Risk Is Right is a significantly expanded version of a chapter
previously published in the book Don't Waste Your Life (chapter
5).
"Ten Who Changed the World" is seminary president Daniel Akin's
powerful tribute to the transformational work done by some truly
inspiring Christian missionaries. With each profile, he journeys
into the heart of that gospel servant's mission-minded story and
makes a compelling connection to a similar account from the Bible.
David Brainerd (1718-1747; missionary to Native Americans) reminds
Akin of Paul's missionary life in 2 Timothy. The faithful ministry
of George Leile (1750-1820; missionary to Jamaica) is aligned with
Galatians 6.
William Carey (1761-1834; missionary to India) lives out the Great
Commission of Matthew 28. There are parallels between Adoniram
Judson (1788-1850; missionary to Burma) and Romans 8.
Lottie Moon (1840-1912; missionary to China) displays the power of
a consecrated life described in Romans 12. The work of James Fraser
(1886-1938; missionary to China) illustrates Revelation 5. Eric
Liddell (1902-1945; missionary to China), his life documented in
the film "Chariots of Fire," illuminates Hebrews 12.
Together, John (1907-1934) and Betty Stam (1906-1934; missionaries
to China) embodied Psalm 67. William Wallace (1908-1951; missionary
to China) was a shining example of Philippians 1. Jim Elliot
(1927-1956; missionary to Ecuador) is a bold reminder of Psalm 96.
Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new
commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a
Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible.

chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned
Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of
Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of
each exposition.
"Exalting Jesus in 1, 2 & 3 John" is written by Daniel L. Akin.
WHAT IS JESUS WORTH TO YOU?"
"
It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his

2014 "Christian Retailing's Best" award finalist What did Jesus
really mean when he said, "Follow Me"? In this new book, David
Platt, author of the "New York Times" bestselling book, "Radical:
Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream," contends that
multitudes of people around the world culturally think they are
Christians yet biblically are not followers of Christ. Scores of
men, women, and children have been told that becoming a follower of
Jesus simply involves believing certain truths or saying certain
words. As a result, churches today are filled with people who
believe they are Christians . . . but aren't. We want to be
disciples as long as doing so does not intrude on our lifestyles,
our preferences, our comforts, and even our religion. Revealing a
biblical picture of what it means to truly be a Christian, "Follow
Me" explores the gravity of what we must forsake in this world, as
well as the indescribable joy and deep satisfaction to be found
when we live for Christ. The call to follow Jesus is not simply an
invitation to pray a prayer; it's a summons to lose your life--and
to find new life in him. This book will show you what such life
actually looks like.
