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."

Defiant Joy


Book Description

We all spend a lot of energy reaching for happiness, but we're never quite able to hang on to it. Real life happens, and our circumstances take us on an emotional rollercoaster. Oftentimes, the Bible's call to "be joyful always" seems out of reach--but it doesn't have to be. We are called to live. And, miraculously, to live with joy. Join bestselling author Stasi Eldredge as she shows us how to choose a joy that stands against the tides of life's real and often overwhelming pain. Defiant Joy reminds us that a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world was meant to be ours. This joy isn't simply happiness on steroids, it's the unyielding belief that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. It's the stubborn determination to be present in whatever may come and interpret both goodness and grief by the light of heaven. Defiant Joy will give you the encouragement you need to: Finally experience daily joy Learn how to have a posture of holy defiance when circumstances threaten to weigh down your soul Find new perspectives on the painful circumstances you've faced In Defiant Joy, Stasi invites us with courage, candor, and tender vulnerability to a place beyond sadness or happiness, leading the way as we learn how to maintain a posture of holy defiance that neither denies nor diminishes our pain but dares to live with expectant, unwavering hope.
