Not A Fan Updated And Expanded
Original price was: $18.99.$8.50Current price is: $8.50.Add to cartThis expanded and updated version of Not a Fan adds a new introduction and an entirely new chapter about how to practically live out the message of this mega bestseller. Are you a follower of Jesus? Don’t answer too quickly. In fact, you may want to read this book before you answer at all. Consider it a Define the Relationship conversation to determine exactly where you stand. You may indeed be a passionate, fully devoted follower of Jesus. Or, you may be just a fan who admires Jesus but isn’t ready to let him cramp your style. Then again, maybe you’re not into Jesus, period. In any case, don’t take the question-Are you a follower of Jesus?-lightly. Some people don’t know what they’ve said yes to and other people don’t realize what they’ve said no to, says Pastor Kyle Idleman. But Jesus is ready to clearly define the relationship he wants with his followers. Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness sprinkled with humor, Idleman invites you to live the way Jesus lived, love the way he loved, pray the way he prayed, and never give up living for the One who gave his all for you.

Additional Info
Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, and Roots is perhaps J. C. Ryle’s best-known and, arguably, best-loved book. Although many things have changed since 1877, when this book was first published, one thing remains the same: ‘real practical holiness does not receive the attention it deserves.’ It was to remedy this attention deficit, and to counter false teaching on this most important subject, that Ryle took up his pen.
The twenty-one chapters in this enlarged edition highlight:the real nature of holiness
the temptations and difficulties which all must expect who pursue it
the life-transforming truth that union with Christ is the root of holiness
the immense encouragement Jesus Christ holds out to all who strive to be holy.Holiness, as with all of Ryle’s works, is clear and concise, penetrating and practical.
Jesus Christ : Self Denial Or Self Esteem
Original price was: $11.95.$5.98Current price is: $5.98.Add to cartThere is a great emphasis on self in our culture today; self-esteem, self-love, self-worth, self-image and many more. Love for self motivates us to follow our own agenda, vent our feelings, justify self, and blame someone else or something else for problems we face. This is not taught in the Bible. The main emphasis on self in the Bible is self-denial and self-sacrifice. This book examines the words and actions of Jesus Christ and will demonstrate that He was others-oriented; that he taught and modeled self-denial as opposed to self-love. A Christian cannot esteem himself and take up the cross at the same time.

Just Do Something
Original price was: $12.99.$8.25Current price is: $8.25.Add to cartWhy won’t God reveal his special will for my life already?
Because he doesn’t intend to… So says Kevin DeYoung in this punchy book about making decisions the godly way.
Many of us are listening for the still small voice to tell us what’s next instead of listening to the clear voice in Scripture telling us what’s now. God does have a will for your life, but it is the same as everyone else’s: Seek first the kingdom of God. And quit floundering.
With pastoral wisdom and tasteful wit, DeYoung debunks unbiblical ways of understanding God’s will and constructs a simple but biblical alternative: live like Christ. He exposes the frustrations of our waiting games and unfolds the freedom of finding God’s will in Scripture and then simply doing it.
This book is a call to put down our Magic 8-Balls and pick up God’s Word. It’s a call to get wisdom, follow Christ, be holy, and live freely. To just do something.
Hole In Our Holiness
Original price was: $14.99.$6.00Current price is: $6.00.Add to cartThe hole in our holiness is that evangelicals don’t look particularly holy. In fact, there seems to be a greater focus on either personal depravity or moral liberalism rather than on the pursuit of holiness. Looking to right the balances, Kevin DeYoung presents an award-winning, popular-level book on sanctification and union with Christ, helping readers to see what matters most-being like Jesus. He shows how one can be like Christ in being joined to Christ. The market is ready for DeYoung’s timely word, ready to avoid legalism and ambivalence, and they are ready for someone to articulate the inextricable relationship between grace and holiness. Now available in paperback.
Discipline Of Grace

You are never beyond the reach of God’s grace. Neither are you ever beyond the need of God’s grace.
Without grace we’d never come to Christ. But being a Christian is more than just coming to Christ, it’s about growing and becoming more like Jesus. This pursuit of holiness is hard work, and as we enter into this discipline, we sometimes lose sight of grace. Jerry Bridges helps us steer clear of this disastrous distraction, offering a clear and thorough explanation of the gospel and what it means to the believer.
Explore how the same grace that brings us to Christ also grows us in Christ.

Sever the Root of Sin
No one sins out of duty. We sin because we want to. Sin promises happiness, and we buy the lie. So how can the root of sin be severed in our lives? The penalty of sin must be paid by the righteous blood of Christ. And the power of sin must be broken by banking on the promises of Christ.
John Piper’s meditations are rooted in rock-solid biblical reflection. Chapter by chapter-one for each day of the month-he reveals how, by cherishing the promises of God, you can break the power of anxiety, despondency, covetousness, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more.

Meal With Jesus
Original price was: $14.99.$6.00Current price is: $6.00.Add to cartDrawing from six narratives in the Gospel of Luke, Chester shows how meals can be opportunities for serving others. Meals have always been important across societies and cultures, a time for friends and families to come together. An important part of relationships, meals are vital to our social health. Author Tim Chester sums it up: Food connects. Chester argues that meals are also deeply theological-an important part of Christian fellowship and mission. He observes that the book of Luke is full of stories of Jesus at meals. These accounts lay out biblical principles. Chester notes, The meals of Jesus represent something bigger. Six chapters in A Meal with Jesus show how they enact grace, community, hope, mission, salvation, and promise. Moving from biblical times to the modern world, Chester applies biblical truth to challenge our contemporary understandings of hospitality. He urges sacrificial giving and loving around the table, helping readers consider how meals can be about serving others and sharing the grace of Christ.
Desiring God : Meditations Of A Christian Hedonist (Revised)

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.
