The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

The complete biblical historical fiction compilation by the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and A Voice in the Wind. The Bible is filled with inspiring stories of unlikely candidates God chose to quietly change eternity. This bestselling compilation in one volume contains five novellas about such people—men who stood behind heroes of the faith. Aaron. Caleb. Jonathan. Amos. Silas. Each faithfully sought God in the shadows of His chosen leaders. They answered God’s call to serve without recognition or fame. And they gave everything, knowing their reward might not come until the next life. Be challenged by these faithful men whose stories we must never forget. Aaron—the priest who stood in Moses’ shadow but had the courage to cover his brother’s fears. Caleb—the warrior whose words stirred men’s hearts and brought God’s people to the Promised Land. Jonathan—the prince whose humility led him to befriend the man who would become king in his place. Amos—the prophet who heard when God called and spoke to a nation unwilling to listen. Silas—the scribe who surrendered his wealth to record God’s Word, even as those around him were silenced. Each novella includes an in-depth Bible study perfect for personal reflection or group discussion.

For 2000 years, Christians, theologians, scholars and historians have broadly accepted these two designations as describing One Person - Jesus: The Son of God. However, a serious and brutally-logical analysis of the actual Scriptures which pertain to these two Titles, along with connecting Scripture that add irrefutable and clarifying reinforcement to the primary axiom here, clearly show that belief to not be the case at all. To that particular end the clear statement: "No man hath seen God at any time..." irrefutably destroys the singular, supposedly sacrosanct, tenet we allude to. If you, Christian reader, or you, Bible scholar, apply the above reality to certain passages in Revelation concerning "He Who is Enthroned" - and Jesus - then you must surely see that the present general Church interpretation/belief about Who It is that occupies that Throne, cannot possibly be correct. In fact, of all distortions of Biblical Truth - and there are very, very many - this crucial error of The Two Sons of God stands as the most appalling, and therefore the most destructive for all of global humanity, to what Jesus described as the All-Truth. The contentious nature of what we are unequivocally postulating will therefore place this "immutable fact" in direct opposition to the standard and long-held position of global Christendom. That position states that it is Jesus Who is to return, for, - according to Christian wisdom - He is the only Son of God! John 16 holds the warning from Jesus that upon the Coming of the Ordained One, that: "He, Himself, [personal pronoun] will honour Me." And from Jesus: "I return to The Father and you will see Me no more." Are we just playing with words here, and/or are we distorting Bible Scripture? Well, there is, of course, one outcome that will prove our case - the Event itself. An earth-changing Event of which it is warned that: "Only the few will [recognise] know." Not the roughly two billion of global Christendom: No, only the few!

“An explosive, fascinating book that reveals how the Bible cannot be used as a rulebook when it comes to sex. A terrific read by a top scholar.” —Bart Ehrman, author of Misquoting Jesus Boston University’s cutting-edge religion scholar Jennifer Wright Knust reveals the Bible’s contradictory messages about sex in this thoughtful, riveting, and timely reexploration of the letter of the gospels. In the tradition of Bart Erhman’s Jesus Interrupted and John Shelby Spong’s Sins of Scripture, Knust’s Unprotected Texts liberates us from the pervasive moralizing—the fickle dos and don’ts—so often dictated by religious demagogues. Knust’s powerful reading offers a return to the scripture, away from the mere slogans to which it is so often reduced.

Some Christians believe strongly in the existence of demons and spiritual warfare. Others downplay or even ignore the idea. With such divergent views, how are Christians supposed to know the truth about demonic forces at work in this world? The Invisible War examines what every believer needs to know about Satan, demons, and spiritual warfare, offering a balanced look at this controversial subject. This provocative book will help Christians understand what the Bible says about these threats and will show them how they can safeguard themselves and their families through prayer. Now repackaged for a new generation, The Invisible War offers a balanced look at what is going on in the spiritual realm and what believers can do to defend themselves.
