O Death, Where Is Your Sting?


Book Description

**A never before released volume from the Prince of Preachers on Death and the Hope of Heaven and the Resurrection** O Death Where Is Your Sting shares six comforting and powerful sermons on death by Charles H. Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, to lift your eyes from the vanity and hopelessness of this world to the eternal hope all believers have in Jesus Christ. Death brings much pain and sorrow, but take heart that "The Believer's Deathday Better Than His Birthday" and the deaths of God's people are "Precious Deaths" because they mark the day of our heavenly homegoing. Spurgeon's Scripture-saturated preaching has lifted grieving souls for generations. I hope this new volume of classic sermons will do the same for you, whether you consider the fate that will come upon us all, grieve the loss of a loved one, or walk through the valley of the shadow of death yourself. "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9 Table of Contents: Why They Leave Us Precious Deaths The Believer's Deathday Better Than His Birthday Resurgam (I Shall Rise Again) No Tears in Heaven Heavenly Rest One review of Knowing the Holy Spirit, another title in the Rich Theology Made Accessible Series, said this: "The mastery and attention grabbing detail that these sermons contain should lead even the most seasoned believer to cry out to God for a deeper and deeper understand of the Spirit and His work and also to examine our own lives and understanding."







Radical


Book Description

New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? 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.
