New Look for Landmark Teaching on Living the Spirit-Empowered Life In our instant-gratification culture, we consume a fleeting, shallow diet of media, relationships, entertainment, and spirituality. Our souls go hungry, longing for a fuller, more satisfying life. Bestselling author and beloved pastor Jack Hayford shows, in what has become a modern-day classic, how we can feed our deepest places with the sustaining Bread of Life. With warmth and wisdom, he reveals how we can link our souls to timeless practices and principles set forth in Scripture. He invites you to rediscover the power and blessing of these spiritual disciplines--of true Spirit-fullness. Even more, he shows how these spiritual disciplines are relevant for today and how we can practice them in our quick-paced, surface-level culture. When we take time to fast and pray, worship daily, feed on God's Word, and more, we fully enter the rich adventure of becoming an effective disciple of Christ--ensuring that our souls will never go hungry.

Traditional mainline churches have been in decline for fifty years as their church energy continues to seep away. What are the options to regain vitality? Pastor Luecke thought for years that better administration was the answer. But the problem is deeper. Our Reformation heritage left us with a very weak practical theology of the Holy Spirit, confining him mostly to the Creeds. We don’t have a hands-on understanding of how he makes a difference in church life today. We can find that by appreciating how central the Spirit was to Paul’s leadership. This collection of Reflections comes in two parts. The first highlights how the Spirit works today, based on Paul’s insights. It outlines how personal growth in the Spirit can happen. Church leaders cannot take others to where they personally have not been before. The second part is organized around Martin Luther’s explanation of the four functions of the Holy Spirit. He calls, gathers, enlightens and sanctifies God’s people. The Spirit is the leader of ministry teams. We need to learn how to follow.

ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist Your Battle against Porn Isn't about Porn. It's about Hope. Pornography may seem inescapable, but God can free us from its destructive power. The gospel replaces the dehumanizing lies of pornography with this surprising truth: God created us as royalty. How then can we reclaim our God-given identity to take a stand against—and ultimately starve—the predatory porn industry? In The Death of Porn, Ray Ortlund writes six personal letters, as from a father to his son. Ideal for individuals and small groups, it will give hope to men who have been misled by porn into devaluing themselves and others. Through Scripture and personal stories, Ortlund assures readers that God loves them the most tenderly in their moments of deepest shame. The Death of Porn inspires men to come together in new ways to fight the injustice of porn and build a world of nobility for every man and woman—for the sake of future generations.
