Apologies From a Repentant Christian


Book Description

Many people wonder, "Is Jesus Christ even real?" For 38 years, I wondered too! I called myself a Christian because I wore a cross, prayed to God and attended church regularly. Yet, I lied, gossiped, and judged others without mercy. I misrepresented my God with my behavior, attitude, and words. Such was my life. In my prayers, I asked God to use my life to glorify Him but was ill-prepared for the response. I was arrested and charged with a felony! In deep and dark despair, I turned to Jesus Christ for help. He was there to save me, as I sorrowfully repented for my past sinful behavior. In the years that followed, Jesus transformed my heart and blessed my life with unimaginable peace and joy. There are countless books written about people who believed in Jesus Christ. Yet, there are very few vulnerable, personal, and raw accounts written by the author! "Apologies From a Repentant Christian" is such a book. This inspirational personal prayer journal will most definitely help you to answer that burning question, "Is Jesus Christ even real?" A must-read for anyone interested in Religion, Spirituality, Christian Living, Christian Devotionals, or Spirituality Short Reads, or for anyone who likes Max Lucado, Priscilla Shirer, A.W. Tozer, and C.S. Lewis.

Apologies from a Repentant Christian III


Book Description

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8). The Apologies from a Repentant Christian series is the continuing story of one woman’s transformation from a hopeless sinner to a Christ-follower. Through surrender, Donna L. Young had found infinite peace, joy, and security, which can only come from a deep-seated devotion to God’s only Son, Jesus Christ. This is her pilgrim journey. Part I tells of an unrepentant sinner who surrendered her heart to God, embraced His forgiveness for her sins, and received her new identity in Christ. Part II tells about the next stage of this Christian’s walk: a new believer faces rejection, spiritual battles and learns how to live in a corrupted temple of flesh. Part III gives enlightenment about what happens when faithful believers set aside their doubts and fears and submit each moment of every day in fullness, honor, and obedience to the will of God. Not only does God keep His promise to do “greater things” through us by offering a suffering world the excitement of hope, but our gracious LORD holds our hand and makes sure that we too feel loved, every step along ‘The Way.’

Resonate


Book Description

It’s no secret that Christians can be ambivalent about music, both popular music and music in the church. In Resonate, author and Eternity Bible College professor Mark Beuving shows Christians how to better appreciate all kinds of music to the glory and pleasure of God. Beuving carefully examines music in the Bible and looks at the various and powerful ways in which music influences our world and our personal lives. He devotes the first section of the book to understanding music, both sacred and secular, exploring biblically why human beings make music and how it affects us. In the second section he highlights some of the many ways we engage with music, from writing songs to discussing artists with our neighbors to worshiping God with fellow believers. Wise and winsome, Beuving writes with an ear for recapturing the wonder of a beautiful part of God’s creation. Readers will be inspired to contemplate more deeply and appreciate more fully God’s good gift of music.




The Writings of Justin Martyr


Book Description

Shepherd's Notes- Christian Classics Series is designed to give readers a quick, step by step overview of some of the enduring treasures of the Christian faith. They are designed to be used along side the classic itself- either in individual study or in a study group. The faithful of all generations have found spiritual nourishment in the Scriptures and in the works of Christians of earlier generations. Martin Luther and John Calvin would not have become who they were apart from their reading Augustine. God used the writings of Martin Luther to move John Wesley from a religion of dead works to an experience at Aldersgate in which his "heart was strangely warmed." Shepherd's Notes will give pastors, laypersons, and students access to some of the treasures of Christian faith.
