Each of us is unique. And each one of us has been invited by God to
participate in his kingdom work. Yet many times we hesitate to
serve, uncertain of our gifts and of God's purpose for our life. In
these studies we learn how to recognise our own spiritual gifts as
well as those of others, and how to practically use them to glorify
God in our relationships, our work and the world. Eight studies for
individuals and small groups. The best-selling Lifebuilders series
have helped millions of people dig deeper into the Bible,
individually and in small groups. There are questions for
stimulating group discussions, ideas for meeting God in personal
reflection, and a now or later section in the revised
format.Session 1 covers 1 Corinthians 12; Session 2 Ephesians
4:1-16; Session 3 Romans 12:1-13; and also 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22;
Session 4 studies 1 Corinthians 14:1-33; Session 5: Isaiah 61:1-9
and Luke 4:14-21; Session 6 Galatians 5:16-26; Session 7 Exodus

Combing logic, science, and God is like putting together a jigsaw
puzzle; it can be very challenging. But in " Logic, Science, and
God ," author Paul Stevens uses these concepts to help us
understand our origin, why we are here on earth, and what we can
expect when we die. " Logic, Science, and God " helps answer many
of life's questions and provides detailed ways to obtain further
light and knowledge. It explains: The basic laws of physics How
evolution occurs Man's relationship to the universe Where man's
intelligence originates How creation occurs Why creation does not
happen by chance What God looks like The necessity of experiencing
pain and suffering The two basic categories of laws we need to obey
to be content and happy Facts concerning our destiny Through
deductive reasoning and commonsense, " Logic, Science, and God "
teaches you how to be grateful and content with life, and it shows
how science and a belief in God are logically compatible.

This is a crucial study for those asking God 'Why?' Job's
persistence in seeking an answer from God as to why he was
suffering has many lessons to teach us. These 12 studies will help
anyone who is wrestling with God. This revised title features
questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in
personal reflection, as well as a 'now or later' section in each
study.
In every age people have felt sure that the book of Revelation
described events in their time. As nations arm themselves for war,
we think of Armageddon. As evil rulers grow in power, we look for
the antichrist. As the powers of darkness threaten to overwhelm us,
we cry, 'Come, Lord Jesus!' Amid the uncertainties of our age,
Revelation assures us of the ultimate triumph of God. This revised
Lifebuilder Bible Study features additional questions for starting
group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection,
together with expanded leader's notes and an extra 'Now or Later'
section in each study.
We're updating and revising our bestselling LifeGuides to make them
even more effective for small group Bible study!
New features of the revised LifeGuides include special options
for group activities, additional questions for personal reflection,
a "Now or Later" section with practical follow-up activities for
use after the study or between sessions, expanded and improved
leaders' notes and an attractive, redesigned format for easier
reading.
Beginning with the new guides Miracles and Pleasing God
(released in February 1999), all new LifeGuides will be presented
in the new format. In addition, more existing volumes will be
revised every year to ensure that all our LifeGuides continue to be
effective Bible study resources for the twenty-first century.
We despise our weaknesses; the apostle Paul delighted in his. We
beg God to remove obstacles from our lives; Paul thanked God for
such opportunities to experience his power. Throughout 2
Corinthians Paul turns many of our values upside down. He teaches
us that in all circumstances we can rely on God's promise: "My
grace is sufficient for you".
Major companies that once controlled the world's oil resources,
refineries and distribution systems are now having to share the
market with national oil companies, independent producers and local
distributors, while developing nations are extending ever more
attractive terms for exploration, development and production. The
result is an increase in the overall world oil supply and an
intensification of competition in the industry. Such challenges
force oil producers to search for new technologies in order to
remain competitive in the world market. Strategic positioning plays
an important role, determining whether a producer can benefit from
the latest technologies and is able to dispose of its oil in the
international market, or profit from the oil-price fluctuations in
the commodity market. This study considers strategic positioning
and the options available to countries and companies alike in terms
of their upstream and downstream industries.
The authors draw on their combined experience to create an exciting
model of congregational leadership that understands congregations
as relational systems. Learn how relational processes can liberate
members for ministry and mission in the world and release pastors
for appropriate leadership.
Usually when we speak of service we refer to something done for the
benefit of others. But in both languages of the Bible, Greek and
Hebrew, ministry and service are the same word - ministry is
service to God and neighbour. These ten studies, covering examples
from Genesis to Revelation, explore service in a variety of
contexts: family, creation, society, the city, neighbours,
relationships, the church and the workplace. They examine examples
of service that were motivated by imagination, passion, faith, hope
and love.
Written by a team of leading international scholars, The Cambridge
Companion to Shakespeare and War illuminates the ways Shakespeare's
works provide a rich and imaginative resource for thinking about
the topic of war. Contributors explore the multiplicity of
conflicting perspectives his dramas offer: war depicted from
chivalric, masculine, nationalistic, and imperial perspectives; war
depicted as a source of great excitement and as a theater of honor;
war depicted from realistic or skeptical perspectives that expose
the butchery, suffering, illness, famine, degradation, and havoc it
causes. The essays in this volume examine the representations and
rhetoric of war throughout Shakespeare's plays, as well as the
modern history of the war plays on stage, in film, and in
propaganda. This book offers fresh perspectives on Shakespeare's
multifaceted representations of the complexities of early modern
warfare, while at the same time illuminating why his perspectives
on war and its consequences continue to matter now and in the
future.

Life among Christians can be great. But let's face it - it can also
be exasperating! The joys of fellowship too often give way to
division and debate - arguments over such things as the correct
form of worship and the place of the charismatic gifts. In 1
Corinthians we see Christianity not as it was meant to be but as it
often is. Yet we also find practical advice for overcoming the
challenges of life together. This revised Lifebuilder Bible Study
features additional questions for starting group discussions and
for meeting God in personal reflection, together with expanded
leader's notes and an extra "Now or Later" section in each study.
Illinois political scandals reached new depths in the 1960s and
'70s. In Illinois Justice, Kenneth Manaster takes us behind the
scenes of one of the most spectacular. The so-called Scandal of
1969 not only ended an Illinois Supreme Court justice's aspirations
to the US Supreme Court, but also marked the beginning of
little-known lawyer John Paul Stevens's rise to the high court. In
1969, citizen gadfly Sherman Skolnick accused two Illinois Supreme
Court justices of accepting valuable bank stock from an influential
Chicago lawyer in exchange for deciding an important case in the
lawyer's favor. The resulting feverish media coverage prompted the
state supreme court to appoint a special commission to investigate.
Within six weeks and on a shoestring budget, the commission
mobilized a small volunteer staff to reveal the facts. Stevens,
then a relatively unknown Chicago lawyer, served as chief counsel.
His work on this investigation would launch him into the public
spotlight and onto the bench. Manaster, who served on the
commission, tells the real story of the investigation, detailing
the dead ends, tactics, and triumphs. Manaster expertly traces
Stevens's masterful courtroom strategies and vividly portrays the
high-profile personalities involved, as well as the subtleties of
judicial corruption. A reflective foreword by Justice Stevens
himself looks back at the case and how it influenced his career.
Now the subject of the documentary Unexpected Justice: The Rise of
John Paul Stevens, this fascinating chapter of political history
offers a revealing portrait of the early career of a Supreme Court
justice.
Life among Christians can be great. But it can also be exasperating
The joys of fellowship in Christ too often give way to division and
debate. You may find yourself drawn into arguments over such things
as the correct form of worship or the proper role of charismatic
gifts. Perhaps you wonder, Why don't we get along together as we
should? Or How can we recapture the unity of the early church?
Surprisingly, the first Christian believers didn't always live in
harmony either As Paul Stevens and Dan Williams lead you through
this study of 1 Corinthians, you will see that the issues facing
the Corinthian church are little different from the ones your
church struggles with year after year. Here in 1 Corinthians is a
portrait of Christian community not as it was meant to be, but as
it often really is. But here too is practical advice for overcoming
the challenges of life together. Now available in IVP Connect's
revised LifeGuide Bible Study format, 1 Corinthians features
questions for starting group discussions and for personal
reflection, as well as a new "Now or Later" section following each
session.
