When it comes to devotional life, we can struggle to get started for all kinds of different reasons. We may have heard that a regular devotional time is important, but we don't know where to begin. Perhaps we feel so busy that we can't possibly add yet another thing to our 'to-do list'. Or maybe Bible study time feels more like a strain on the brain rather than fuel for the soul, and we wonder if it's worth keeping going. In Time Well Spent, Colin Webster takes on these concerns, tackling them head-on. This short book will not be a magic wand that sets you up with a great devotional life, but it will show you what a devotional involves, how to set aside common distractions, and why our time with God really is time well spent. Let this book spur you on with gentle encouragement and practical advice and fuel your desire to set aside time with God. Contains helpful studies to guide you through common quiet time elements.

Many Christian women find great encouragement and joy in and through women's Bible studies. However, popular Bible teacher Jen Wilkin is concerned that sometimes we let our emotions rule our study of Scripture and forget that the Bible is primarily about God, not us. Challenging hungry women to go deeper in their study of Scripture, this book will help you refocus your efforts on feeding your mind first and foremost. Whether you're young or old, married or single, this accessible volume will energize and equip you for Bible study aimed at transforming both the heart and mind.

Can I break free from my eating disorder? Why do I struggle so much with anxiety? Where can I go with my shame and despair? There are lots of how-to books out there. In terms of the practicalities of recovery, they’re brilliant. What they don’t address is the spiritual dimension. A New Day sees award-winning blogger Emma Scrivener moving on from the personal story she told in A New Name. Here she provides lasting biblical solutions for those who struggle with the challenges brought by feelings of hunger, anxiety, control, shame, anger and despair. Pastorally-sensitive, honest and comforting, the book includes helpful, practical lifestyle ideas to complement the teachings Emma outlines.

After first teaching women to go deeper in their study of the Bible in Women of the Word, and then unpacking why our limits are a good thing in light of God’s limitlessness in None Like Him, best-selling author and Bible teacher Jen Wilkin helps readers see what human beings are to be like as they reflect the image of their Creator. In His Image explores 10 attributes of God that Christians are called to reflect—they are called to be holy, loving, just, good, merciful, gracious, faithful, patient, truthful, and wise. This book calls readers to discover the freedom and purpose in becoming all that God made them to be.

Cu tact, dar totodată convingătoare, Amy Orr-Ewing ne pune înainte o serie de argumente solide în favoarea Bibliei: cum ar putea fi pusă la îndoială credibilitatea Noului Testament, când este susținut de nu mai puțin de 24.000 de manuscrise? Cum să ne îndoim de existența lui Isus, când autorii Evangheliei au consemnat cu deosebită acuratețe atâtea evenimente istorice? Cartea aceasta merită citit de orice om care se confruntă cuîndoieli privind veridicitatea Bibliei, dar și de acei creștini care întâmpină dificultăți în situațiile în care credința lor este pusă sub semnul întrebării din cauza fundamentării ei pe o carte considerată de mulți ca fiind greu de crezut.

‘What are the marks of a supernaturally changed heart?’ This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He’s not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep–rooted, life–altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to ‘make it’, the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self–forgetfulness. In this short and punchy book, best–selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel–humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self–condemnation. A truly gospel–humble person is not a self–hating person or a self–loving person, but a self–forgetful person. This freedom can be yours…
