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.




Jesus Over Everything


Book Description

As Christian women, we desire to put Jesus first. We want to prioritize him above all, knowing instinctively that when we do, everything else in our lives will fall into alignment. Yet life feels complicated, and the demands of our daily lives leave our priorities out of order and our hearts longing for more. Author, speaker, and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle is passionate about helping people pursue Jesus for life, grow deep roots of faith, and walk strong in a world that so often seems to have gone crazy. In Jesus Over Everything, Lisa shares eight statements of choice to help us grow in our understanding of what it means to put Jesus first amid the craziness our days bring, including choices such as commitment over mood, steady over hype, holiness over freedom, service over spotlight, and more. Jesus Over Everything is a practical, compelling picture of what we crave yet struggle to define as we seek to give God his rightful place in our everyday lives.




The Healing Wings


Book Description

The Healing Wings is a book written for the purpose of teaching and helping the believers in Christ know how they can minister the healing power of God to the sick, and how the sick can also receive healing by appropriating the healing power of God in their own lives. When God created human beings, sickness did not exist. Sickness, pain and disease came as the result of the first disobedience of the first man, Adam. You will find the story of the Fall in Genesis chapter 3. God hates sickness and disease just like He hates sin and poverty. But thank God, He provided the all round solution by the gift of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the prophetic Sun of righteousness which would arise with healing in His wings (Malachi 4:2). The healing power saturates this book. Faith to receive healings and other blessings of God can rise within you as you read. There is also impartation grace in this book where the reader can manifest divine healing in a greater dimension through the prophetic encounters from inside. Therefore, you do well to read, study, teach and practice the truth in this book, The Healing Wings. Time has come for the saints of God to fly high on the healing wings. Malachi 4:2 KJV/NIV But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings, And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. As I watched the Jesus Healing Crusade clips, and saw what God did through the Bishop Dag, I quickly realized that it is not by power nor might of man, but by the Spirit of God. In his crusades, you see the actual demonstration of what this scripture means, that the joy that comes after a miracle healing is received, people leaping, swinging like calves recently bound, but now released from the stall of bondage. What could make someone bound, and could not walk straight, then suddenly began to walk straight. A lady carried to a Healing Jesus Crusade with paralysis, instantly rose and began to swing with hands stretched like flying wings. What about a hunchback that vanished suddenly and the man stood straight? Where did the hunch at the back go? Miracles are real, better believe it, and it is supernatural through the mighty power of God. Think about A. A. Allen, the miracle man, who prayed, and a missing second toe suddenly appeared, a man without a lung and three ribs, suddenly was healed with the appearance of the lung and the three ribs through which the lung was removed, when he listened to A.A. Allen on the radio. What about a hermaphrodite whose masculine feature suddenly disappeared and she became a complete woman? If you don't want to believe in miracle, which will not stop God doing wonders. But you may miss the benefits of miracles. I encourage you to believe in healing and creative miracles. Read, be healed and be imparted. Many healing hard questions are answered in this book. I like to note here that God works in different ways with different people. God may give someone a miraculous healing, whereas He gives another a gradual healing. Miracle healing happens instantly in most cases, but divine healing is a process of amendment which happens gradually. I believe your healing miracles, deliverance and other blessings are here for you. And you will receive them as you read this book, in the name of Jesus.




Rethinking Hell


Book Description

Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.
