Future Grace, Revised Edition


Book Description

Explore this stunning quality of God’s grace: It never ends! In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.




Grace & Mercy Brought Us Through


Book Description

Grace and Mercy Brought Us Through is loosely based on the life of my great-grandfather Rev. Aaron Davis. Rev. Davis was born into slavery and grew up during the Civil War. He received freedom with the Emancipation Proclamation and became a circuit riding minister with the Methodist Church in Mississippi. His life as a preacher is well documented , but little was known about his personal life. My Mother wrote a short story about her grandfather and she stated that his Mother was named Tena and his Father was named Indian Charlie. From this information I filled in the blanks and found a fascinating story that took me from Senegal West Africa, through the Middle Passage, through plantation life in Mississippi, through the life of Native Americans in Mississippi and the Black Seminoles in Florida and on to the life of a Black circuit riding preacher. With every word I wrote I realized that God's Grace and Mercy really did bring us through and made us strong people.

Failure Is Not Final


Book Description

Failure is not a failure when you fail; it can only become a failure when you have failed and refused to rise up and move on. In Failure Is Not Final, Kaeren McGrowder shares her experience about becoming pregnant in the church while still serving in the ministry. She honestly relates her inspiring story regarding her journey from falling from grace to gracious recovery. The authors story portrays the essential keys needed to overcome shame and guilt and to be transformed by the love of Jesus Christ. The crucial key is true repentance, like the story of the prodigal son in the Bible: I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father I have sinned (Luke 15: 1718). This true repentance involves humility (I will arise), acknowledgement of sin (I have sinned against heaven and before thee), and faith in action (And he arose and came to his father) (Luke 15: 20). No matter how serious the case may be, in spite of failure, shame, guilt, and rejection in life, we can overcome, recover, and be transformed by the love of Jesus Christ.




Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy


Book Description

Lament is how you live between the poles of a hard life and trusting God’s goodness. Lament is how we bring our sorrow to God—but it is a neglected dimension of the Christian life for many Christians today. We need to recover the practice of honest spiritual struggle that gives us permission to vocalize our pain and wrestle with our sorrow. Lament avoids trite answers and quick solutions, progressively moving us toward deeper worship and trust. Exploring how the Bible—through the psalms of lament and the book of Lamentations—gives voice to our pain, this book invites us to grieve, struggle, and tap into the rich reservoir of grace and mercy God offers in the darkest moments of our lives.
