paperbackQuestioning Your Doubts
A Harvard PhD Explores Challenges to Faith
by Christina M. H. Powell
How can we know if God is real? Does God truly care about us? Why does God create people he knows will reject him? Why did God allow my friend to become a rape victim? Should I switch jobs? Is this person the one I should marry? If you have pondered these doubts, you are not alone. Sometimes we have intellectual questions about the plausibility of God. Other times we go through ...

Reformation Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Philip D. W. Krey and Peter D. S. Krey
Writing to the early Christians in Rome, the apostle Paul said, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect" (Rom 12:2 ESV). Perhaps more than any other New Testament epistle, Paul's letter to the Romans has been the focus of Christian reflection throughout the ...

Tyndale New Testament Commentaries
by John Stott
"John evidently loves the people committed to his care," says John Stott in the preface to this commentary on 1, 2 and 3 John. "They are his 'dear children,' his 'dear friends.'

paperbackWater from a Deep Well
Christian Spirituality from Early Martyrs to Modern Missionaries
by Gerald L. Sittser
Foreword by Eugene H. PetersonIn Rome in A.D. 165, two men named Carpus and Papylus stood before the proconsul of Pergamum, charged with the crime of being Christians. Not even torture could make them deny Christ, so they were burned alive. Is my faithfulness as strong? In the fifth century, Melania the Younger and her husband, Pinian, distributed their enormous wealth to the poor and intentionally practiced the discipline ...

paperbackGive Them Christ
Preaching His Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension and Return
by Stephen Seamands
Much preaching today begins with the hearer's "felt needs" and then moves to how Christianity can solve those problems. But this approach often results in trite Christologies that merely use Jesus as a means to an end or a vehicle for self-improvement. While preachers might not dispense with Christ altogether, other things subtly take center stage and become more important than Christ himself. ...

? Does he listen to us?
? How do we know what to say?
? Will it make any difference if we pray? Prayer is central to Christian faith and life and such questions are fundamental. While much teaching on prayer adresses practical issues and is experience-oriented, Graeme Goldsworthy's conviction is that good practice comes from a foundation ... -

Learning to Read and Live the Bible Well
by Glenn R. Paauw
- ECPA 2017 Christian Book Award Finalist
Does the Bible need to be saved? Over the course of the centuries, Bible scholars and publishers have increasingly added "helps"—chapter divisions, verses, subheads, notes—to the Bible in an effort to make it easier to study and understand. In the process, however, these have led to sampling Scripture rather than reading ...
