Getting your kids through church without them ending up hating God
The problem Parsons sets out to deal with is the number of young people who leave church as soon as they can. He believes that in this they are not turning their back on God but rather what we have presented to them as church
Calm My Anxious Heart: a woman's guide to finding contentment
We struggle with anxiety so if you want to try to win that struggle in God’s strength by identifying and changing what’s at the heart of the problem then read this book!
Scandalous
Don Carson in his own dynamic way opens up the historic events, which took place over one weekend in Jerusalem about two thousand years ago and considers their significance.
A Resilient Life
Behind all the story-telling the author brings out valuable lessons in preparing to finish well in the Christian life
That Distant Land: Collected Short Stories
A collection of short stories, written by a Christian. The author's gentle, reflective style of writing presents the idea that, in God's eternal present, all the best of these passing ages is preserved, valued and celebrated.
Hope has its Reasons: The Search to Satisfy Our Deepest Longings
A book that challenges the agnostic and the believer alike to acknowledge the truth of the human heart.
The Peacemaker: A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict
An extremely helpful work that is a must-read for everyone involved in conflict resolution - and as you will soon discover when reading this book, that is not only something to be left for the 'experts', but is also the ministry of every disciple of Jesus.
Does God believe in Atheists?
This book seeks to identify and address the problems of being an atheist.
A meal with Jesus
Food matters. Meals matter. Meals are full of significance – not just for us, but for God too.
The good news of Luke
Revolving around the central character, Jesus, Luke presents his 'orderly account of the things that have been fulfilled among us' to his friend, Theo.
Let the Nations be Glad!
Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is both the fuel and goal of missions. How can we proclaim "Let the nations be glad and rejoice in God!" to others until we first say to ourselves "I delight in the Lord!"?
John MacArthur - Servant of the Word and Flock
A biography of John MacArthur. A human story, including the shaping of his youth, the strength of marriage and family, the refining influences of trials and controversies and the building of a man whose staff have never known him to be angry.
A Praying Life
This is a book that has helped me pray. The key is learning to pray like children. This is really the big idea of the book – Jesus teaches us to pray to our Father, and understanding what that means will shape our hearts and free us to talk to Him and know Him better.
Suffering Well: the predictable surprise of Christian suffering
Paul Grimmond helpfully unpacks what we mean by suffering. We are inclined to weigh up degrees of suffering... Grimmond makes the point that comparisons are unnecessary, what matters are our values about suffering.
The Radical Disciple
A book for all seasons, this book represents the wisdom and experience of a long life, lived in the service of Christ. There are very few books like this which provide such a distilled wealth of Christian learning.
God, Sex and Marriage: Guidance from 1 Cor 7
Sex and marriage. Singleness. Divorce and separation. Who to marry and when. It's all covered in June's Book of the Month.
Cross-Examined - the life changing power of the death of Jesus
Our book of the month for May will help anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the meaning and significance of the cross of Christ.
A Voice in the Wind
'A Voice in the Wind' is set in 1st Century Jerusalem, Rome and Ephesus. The story opens in 70AD during the sacking of Jerusalem...
Stop Dating the Church, Fall in love with the Family of God
Joshua Harris’ main aim is to challenge the consumerist, self centred, critical attitude so many of us unconsciously, or even deliberately, carry into our local church, which sadly results in many believers (and pastors) giving up on a commitment to a local congregation.
Pathway to Jesus, Crossing the thresholds to faith
Originally titled “I Once Was Lost”, the re-branding of this book to a positive expression of a journey to faith cannot add to the already outstanding content.
Finding Joy, A radical rediscovery of grace
I heard Marcus Honeysett speaking at a conference in November and I realised he had a lot of wisdom to impart. But this book has just blown me away!
