Paperback. Condizione: Good. How do we approach with godly wisdom the task of being a pastor-teacher in Christ's church? We must preach the word; but if we take seriously the New Testament injunctions about how we address this primary task, we will show our wisdom by humility, a teachable spirit, and diligence in pursuing all profitable means to present ourselves approved and unashamed workmen of God (2 Tim 2:15). Many questions face us. How do you introduce biblical exposition where it has been previously unknown?How do you plan an effective preaching programme?What distinguishes truly biblical ministry from merely ?bible-based' ministry?Do we properly understand and relate to the real people that make up our congregations, both personally and theologically? This book gives practical help in these areas for those seeking to develop authentic biblical expository ministry. Each contributor is totally committed to this priority, and each writes from the perspective of biblical reflection and real experience in local church ministry. Only the already-perfect pastor has nothing to learn from its pages. …

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Are you bringing up your children the way God wants you to?Of Such is the Kingdom re-examines the tasks of parenting and care of children in the church from a Biblical and theological point of view.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The story of London City Mission is of men walking the poorest streets of London, getting their hands dirty as they reached out to people in need with the message of the Gospel and their unique brand of practical help. Rather than writing a consecutive history of London City Mission, the authors selected areas of the work and told the story of each. The story takes a different turn as it enters the 20th C. From being the capital city of an empire, London became a city at war with itself and then with others. LCM missionaries were right in among the revolutionaries.What comes out in the story of LCM is that missionaries were men (until the late 1980s) whose hearts were full of compassion for the lost and the needy. The Mission is still looking forward to the challenge of the 21st Century LCM may be an old Mission, but it is not resting on its laurels; rather it is grappling, as it always has, with today's London, and planning for the needs of the London of tomorrow.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Have you ever looked sceptically over the brightly coloured picture books at your local Christian bookstore, wondering about their theology? That?s where Nancy Gorrell, an OP pastor?s wife in Schenectady, New York, found herself six years ago. Where would she find the right books to introduce her children to the truths of the faith?     Nancy took up the challenge by writing for her own children. Then her husband encouraged her to seek a publisher. Marianne Smith supplied the illustrations for her friend?s book. Christian Focus Publications of Scotland agreed to publish her work as a series of three books. The first one, Beginning with God, covers God, the Bible, and the Trinity.   There is nothing dry or boring about this book. Nancy brings a contagious delight to her topic as she distils the great truths of God?s Word. Discussing God, she answers such questions as ?What does God look like?? ?Will God always be here?? ?Is God perfect?? and ?Is God always fair??   The last subject she tackles is the Trinity. Nancy gently leads us through one of the Scripture?s deepest and most challenging truths, answering one question after another.   This book would make a great baptism gift. You might also give it to young parents who have inquired about Christianity without having made a definite commitment.   You can also read Meeting with God, the second book which covers the topics of creation, Jesus, and the salvation, should be out this fall. Living with God, the third book which covers worship, heaven, obedience, and prayer. These books will be valuable resources for families and churches for years to come.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. There are many types of lie, but perhaps the most dangerous and deceptive of all is the half?truth. A manipulative distortion of truth, it sounds convincing but is destructively distant from what is true. Flip Michaels tackles five half?truths that are commonly used as arguments against the validity of the Bible, Christianity, God, Christ and faith. He clearly and engagingly unveils the whole truth and explains why understanding the whole meaning is crucial. These five truths are: The Bible was written by men and inspired by God. All religions are the same, except Christianity. God is love and holy, holy, holy. Jesus is truly a man and truly God. Our good deeds matter when preceded by faith.   A useful evangelistic tool, a helpful clarification for new believers or a valuable reminder for those who have been believers for a long time.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Preachers should be concerned to preach God's word with God's power. Preachers are also conscious of the need to feed their flock. There are many struggles in the pulpit every week to make sure that the congregation is fed and also inspired.This book grew out of the comment of a trusted congregation member to the author that 80% of his sermons were immemorable, but that the other 20% had profoundly changed their life.Ellsworth started searching for reasons as to why some sermons had such a greater impact than others. Previously he had dismissed preaching without a written manuscript as being almost certain to be shallow, full of clichés and repetitious. Surely 'deep' teaching needed more support than his poor memory could provide?Launching out in faith, Ellsworth started reducing his notes to the extent that they could be contained on one post-it note. The result? A learned colleague said that you would never have guessed how 'so much effect could have come from a single change.'This is not a book about taking short cuts in sermon preparation - but a means of gaining more attention and having greater impact on your congregation.…
