Pilgrimage in Prayer
The story of how one man learned to practice prayer as the secret to intimacy with God and effectiveness in service.
Life in the Light of the Gospel
When Paul wrote to the Corinthians that he had decided to “know nothing” among them “except Jesus Christ and him crucified,” he was not claiming for himself a narrow, limited message. The apostle obviously addressed a number of doctrinal issues, ethical concerns and church problems. But he approached every one of those in a particular way – in the light of the gospel, in the light of Christ crucified and risen for us. He brought to bear upon every issue he met, the mighty realities of the Gospel. Christ was always at the center.
Courage to Pray
Real praying isn’t easy; sometimes it can be difficult. But God wants us to pray. Prayer is also God’s gift. He provides everything we need and then calls us to respond. Well, then, how do we capture excitement about prayer when we’ve lost the heart to pray? Dr. Brownson doesn’t intend this book to be merely a call to prayer. Rather, his purpose is to inspire courage to pray, to leave us saying “I think I can do that. I can learn to pray.”
Christ in the Psalms (9 Studies)
David Bast follows the trail of Christ in the Psalms. The result is a series of 9 Bible studies that focus not only on what various psalms prophesy concerning Christ, but also the New Testament passages that quote and interpret those texts. When read through the lens of the New Testament, we see Christ depicted in the Psalms in all his various roles – Saviour and Priest, King and Lord. The nine studies in this new book, suitable for either group of individual use, will both deepen your understanding of the person and work of Christ and quicken your devotion to him.
Light from Tzeltal Lamps
Fifty years ago the Tzeltal Indians of southern Mexico heard the gospel. With grateful enthusiasm they shared the good news of salvation with their people and surrounding tribes. Today 60,000 Tzeltals, over 1/4 of the tribal population, are passionate believers.
Billy & Dave
This is a story about two sons, Billy and Dave, and the family of which they were a part. It is also a story of loss—the different kinds of losses that Billy and Dave each experienced and the things their family lost as a result. In the early 1950s Bill and Helen Brownson were the parents of a young and growing brood. Deeply devoted to one another and to the Lord, committed to serving him in ministry, the Brownsons were the very picture of a happy, active Christian family.
Applied Christianity: Studies in James
The New Testament letter of James is passionately practical. It breathes down-to-earth intensity. The author yearns to see the realities of the gospel translated into daily life. He has no patience with speculative theology or pious pretense. His cry is: “Let the faith be lived!”
The Fiery Furnace
Read: Daniel 3 If you had to, would you have the courage to die for your faith? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego went into a fiery furnace rather than deny their Lord. Their story can help to show where the courage of faith comes from. Human societies vary widely in the things they value and the behaviors […]
Jonah and the Whale
Read: Jonah 1 If I say “Jonah,” what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? It’s “whale,” isn’t it? “Jonah and the Whale” is what most people think of. But in a way that’s too bad because if we only think of Jonah as an incredible fish story or perhaps a story about an incredible […]
