Read Your Bible One Book at a Time


Book Description

Christians customarily read books of the Bible by chapter or in smaller bits. However, in this book, author, broadcaster, and Bible teacher Woodrow Kroll demonstrates the value of reading books of the Bible at one time, just like we read other books. Reading through a book of Scripture gives us the big picture of what the Lord has done and what he is saying to us now. The book includes introductions to each Bible book, estimates of how long it will take to read the book through, and plans for reading through the Bible one book at a time.




A Refreshing Time with God


Book Description

We live in a very fast-paced world, and we are constantly on the move trying to keep up with everything. In doing so, we drain ourselves of energy. We live for family, work, and other people; so much so that we forget about ourselves. Sometimes we allow others to define who we are, and we forget who God says we are. How can we regain strength and renew our inner peace, joy, and happiness? God is calling us to come to him, fellowship together, and bring our burdens to him. A refreshing time with God contains 365 days of devotions and inspiration that help you discover your unique self. Opening your Bible daily with this guide helps you understand that God has created you to make a difference. It allows you to discover your power of dominion and take back control. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)




Time for God


Book Description

Many people today are thirsty for God and feel a desire for an intense, personal prayer life that is deep and ongoing. But they encounter obstacles that prevent them from following the path seriously, and especially from persevering on it. Time for God was written with these desires and difficulties in mind. In Time for God, author Jacques Philippe mainly concentrates on mental prayer: prayer that consists of facing God in solitude and silence for a time in order to enter into intimate, loving communion with him. Practicing this kind of prayer regularly is considered by all spiritual masters to be an indispensable path that gives access to genuine Christian life—a path to knowing and loving God that empowers us to respond to his call to holiness addressed to each individual. Philippe draws on years of experience as a spiritual guide to illuminate the fundamental principles of mental prayer and describes some common mistakes and misconceptions that can lead it astray. With simplicity and clarity he explains the foundational principles for a healthy prayer life and gives advice for overcoming the various obstacles that arise when one sets off on the path of interior prayer.




Not Yet Married


Book Description

Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Refreshed


Book Description

Devotions for a vacation that’s refreshing in every way. Vacations often give us an opportunity to rest and reflect. However, when our normal routines and habits are suspended, it can be hard to spend time with God. These 30 devotions have been specifically designed to help you to rest in the Lord’s goodness and glory during your time away so that you can return home feeling refreshed spiritually as well as physically. Author John Hindley, who also wrote Serving without Sinking, says this: “I want to help you find rest, peace, joy, hope, and renewed zeal. We go away to be refreshed. Christ is the one who sets his Spirit in our hearts to cause streams of living water to well up within us and flow from us. Sometimes we rest away from Jesus, but how much better to rest with and in him? He is where our true refreshment is found.” You can pick and choose which devotions to read depending on the type of vacation you are on (for example, city break or beach) and there are optional family activities and questions linked to each devotion giving other family members an opportunity to reflect alongside you.

Enduring Words


Book Description

It feels like our world is moving in new, uncertain directions and in unknown waters where you need a good anchor. In Jesus Christ, who is our Rock, we have hope as an anchor for the soul. To not be set adrift, one needs to stay connected to that anchor. I have found it is only by regular time in God's Word that it happens. We believe the promise recorded in 1 Peter 1:24-25: The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the LORD endures forever. Day by day, as we come to God's Enduring Word, He has wisdom, strength, and blessing to give us. We can weather storms and enjoy calm waters. We can grow in seasons of drought and bear a harvest for God's kingdom year-round. For 25 years I have prepared a weekly devotional. Here are 365 selected Scripture passages along with an inspirational, encouraging, and helpful thought. My prayer is that you would know and enjoy more and more of God's enduring word. In Jesus, David Guzik
