Putting Your Past In Its Place
Original price was: $15.99.$11.99Current price is: $11.99.Add to cartLives grind to a halt when people don’t know how to relate to their past. Some believe the past is nothing and attempt to suppress the brokenness again and again. Others miss out on renewal and change by making the past more important than their present and future. Neither approach moves people toward healing or hope.
Pastor and biblical counselor Stephen Viars introduces a third way to view one’s personal history-by exploring the role of the past as God intended. Using Scripture to lead readers forward, Viars provides practical measures to:
*understand the important place the past is given in Scripture
*replace guilt and despair with forgiveness and hope
*turn failures into stepping stones for growthThis motivating, compassionate resource is for anyone ready to review and release the past so that God can transform their behaviors, relationships, and their ability to hope in a future.
From The Finger Of God
Original price was: $24.99.$22.60Current price is: $22.60.Add to cartThis book investigates criticisms of the ‘orthodox’ and catholic approach to biblical law and concludes that theologians were not mistaken in their belief that the threefold division was rooted in Scripture. Christian teachers who viewed the Bible as a coherent, progressive and self-interpreting whole, had good reason to see the division as having a secure biblical and theological footing. It appears in embryonic form in the Old Testament and the Gospels stand in continuity with the Old Testament presuppositions. The four evangelists present Jesus as law-upholding, while the epistles establish finally the categories and implications of this framework, supporting the idea that the Decalogue enshrines an ever-binding perfect rule of righteousness.
Desiring God : Meditations Of A Christian Hedonist (Revised)
Original price was: $18.00.$11.99Current price is: $11.99.Add to cartDesiring God, a classic work on the pleasures of knowing and serving God, is now available in a more reader-friendly edition that includes a discussion guide – ideal for use in a church-wide emphasis or for small group study.
Desiring God, John Piper’s classic, enthusiastic explanation of Christian hedonism, bears the message that the great business of life is to glorify God by enjoying Him forever. Constantly drawing on Scripture to build his case, Piper shows why pursuing maximum joy is essential to glorifying God. He discusses the implications for this for conversion, worship, love, Scripture, prayer, money, marriage, missions, and suffering.
Desiring God is a paradigm-shattering work that dramatically alters common perspectives on what relating to God should look like. Piper reveals that there really is no need to choose between duty and delight in the Christian life. In fact for the follower of Jesus, delight is the duty. He concludes that Christ is most magnified in His people when they are most satisfied in him.

God is arrogant and jealous
God punishes people too harshly
God is guilty of ethnic cleansing
