 | Ten Questions to Diagnose Your Spiritual HealthAuthor: Donald S. WhitneyBinding: Paperback List price: $11.00 USD Amazon price: $8.80 USD |
From Publishers Weekly
Christians today are busier than ever before, doing the "spiritual" work they feel called to out of devotion for God. But are these earnest followers of Christ actually living their faith in a manner that is pleasing to Christ? Whitney (Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life; How Can I Be Sure I'm a Christian?) effectively challenges this "busy hands, empty heart" epidemic. Whitney poses intensely introspective questions to aid Christians as they gauge their own level of spiritual health. Do they have a driving thirst for God, as well as behavior dictated by God's holy standards? How loving to others and sensitive to the Holy Spirit are they? Do they experience genuine grief over personal sin and a willingness to forgive repeat offenders? Whitney also discusses the spiritual disciplines of prayer, fasting, meditating upon Scripture, taking communion and fellowship with others of like faith, showing readers how to transform these often automatic enterprises into faith-building activities. He advises Christians to spend more energy enjoying God and developing a Christlike nature, rather than accomplishing ever-accelerating goals. He notes that seekers must be acutely aware that following Christ is a lifetime commitment and that they should resist the temptation to seek "spiritual" shortcuts to intimacy with God. This timely text is full of gentle admonitions to unearth deeply entrenched habits and dig for the treasure found only in a carefully honed relationship with God.

Reviewer: Angelo D. Candler (Garner, NC United States)
There is no greater quest than the pursuit of God. If you thirst for the secret place of intimacy with the eternal Father, you will love this book. If you would like to be like Enoch and "walk with God", you must have this book! Mr Tozer brings to the reader an unquenchable flame for the Holy One and the undying desire just to draw near and behold Him in all His glory. He, in his attempt to explain a God who is beyond the greatest of human understanding, sometimes passes the limitations of even the most intellegent of readers. The study guide brings the deepest of trues to a level that even us "average thinkers" can understand. This book truely has changed my life and the life of many of my friends. Please buy this book. You will thank me if you do.

 | The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for JesusAuthor: Lee StrobelBinding: Paperback List price: $13.99 USD Amazon price: $11.19 USD |
Amazon.com
The Case for Christ records Lee Strobel's attempt to "determine if there's credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God." The book consists primarily of interviews between Strobel (a former legal editor at the Chicago Tribune) and biblical scholars such as Bruce Metzger. Each interview is based on a simple question, concerning historical evidence (for example, "Can the Biographies of Jesus Be Trusted?"), scientific evidence, ("Does Archaeology Confirm or Contradict Jesus' Biographies?"), and "psychiatric evidence" ("Was Jesus Crazy When He Claimed to Be the Son of God?").

 | The Trouble with JesusAuthor: Joseph StowellBinding: Paperback List price: $12.99 USD Amazon price: $11.04 USD |
Book Description
In a world full of religious options, the claims of Jesus are often seen as divisive and intolerant. That compelling reality poses a great challenge to followers of Jesus who desire to remain faithful to Him while demonstrating to their world that Jesus is "the way." How do we take the good news of Christ's liberating love to a world that thinks that our message is scandalous and exclusively arrogant?
The Trouble with Jesus leads us in the discovery and application of the strategy that Jesus left for early followers who thrived in a similar environment. Their unflinching commitment to this "salt-light strategy" in a resistant world won the hearts of their families, neighbors and friends, and eventually the Roman Empire. For all of us who want others to taste the love and life that we have found in Jesus, the "salt-light strategy" is ours for the taking. While living for Jesus has never been more challenging, showing Him to others has never been more compelling.

 | The Message of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7 : Christian Counter-Culture)Author: John R. W. StottBinding: Paperback List price: $16.00 USD Amazon price: $10.88 USD |
Book Description
"The followers of Jesus are to different," writes John Stott, "different from both the nominal church and the secular world, different from both the religious and the irreligious. The Sermon on the Mount is the most complete delineation anywhere in the New Testament of the Christian counter-culture. Here is a Christian value-system, ethical standard, religious devotion, attitude to money, ambition, lifestyle and network of relationships--all of which are totally at variance with those in the non-Christian world. And this Christian counter-culture is the life of the kingdom of God, a fully human life indeed but lived out under the divine rule."

 | Pleasures Evermore: The Life-Changing Power of Enjoying GodAuthor: Sam StormsBinding: Paperback List price: $15.00 USD Amazon price: $10.20 USD |
Book Description
In this compelling and highly readable book, Sam Storms presents a fresh and liberating perspective on why a relationship with God is not only possible but irresistibly pleasurable. This "Christian Hedonism" seems contradictory, but Storms explains that a life devoted to God should also be a life devoted to the pleasure of reveling in Him and all He has done. Pleasures Evermore offers real solutions for hard-to-change areas of life and challenges the assumption that holiness comes through following a list of rules. Perfect for the person of any denomination who's struggling to find lasting joy in the seeming drudgery of daily obedience.

 | The Exemplary Husband : A Biblical PerspectiveAuthor: Stuart ScottBinding: Hardcover List price: $21.95 USD |
Reviewer: Jim Dowhaniuk (Vancouver, WA United States)
I just finished reading "The Exemplary Husband". I cannot thank Dr. Stuart Scott enough for this book. It is so thorough. I will read it again and again. The book has so much in it that it should be read slowly to really absorb and capture the Biblical perspective for the husband. Dr. Scott's extensive use of Bible exerpts is the core of why this book works! Finally, I am beginning to understand the the true role of the husband. My wife and I are Catholic and I used to have pretty much an "I'm the boss" attitude or "you should listen to me because I am the husband".

 | The Excellent Wife: A Biblical PerspectiveAuthor: Martha PeaceBinding: Paperback List price: $12.95 USD Amazon price: $12.95 USD |
Reviewer: Christine Cunningham (Long Island, NY USA)
Martha Peace really knows how to tell it like it is! She gives you a good dose of tough love that is fully backed by scripture and never appears argumentative. She shares her testimony with us right up front, so we understand where she was in her walk and why she felt inspired to write this book.
The book starts off by covering foundational truths about God, sin and marriage, then focuses on the wife's responsibilities (1) to Christ, (2) in her home, and (3) to her husband. The core of the book is on the "s" word (submission), and I appreciated the way Peace handled the topic. She also includes a great section that helps a wife overcome any communication or conflict-solving challenges she may have. She even talks about dealing with fear, loneliness and anger (a big one for me!).

Reviewer: Mr. Timothy Johnson (DICKSON, ACT Australia)
The New Bible Dictionary is more like an encyclopaedia than simply a dictionary. The scholarship is first-rate and the book is an almost essential resource for those who are conducting more in-depth study of the Bible.
It contains a number of articles from a range of good Christian scholars on pretty much every person, place, book and other thing in the Bible. For example, when discussing a book of the Bible, the article would contain information about the author, the date of writing, some of the scholarly issues concerning that book and would give a broad overview of the purpose and theology of the book.

 | Hard Questions, Real AnswersAuthor: William Lane CraigBinding: Paperback List price: $15.99 USD Amazon price: $10.87 USD |
With 2 Ph.D.'s in his hip pocket and many scholarly writings to his name, William Lane Craig could go through life as a pompous ivory tower dweller. Instead, Craig has made himself available to the common man. From the information he provided Strobel in his layperson works to works like Hard Questions, Craig is understandable for any Christian willing to hear. This is a simple, 8-chapter book that hits issues like doubt, unanswerer prayer, and suffering and evil that would be a benefit to anyone struggling with these issues. The book is not meant to be comprehensive, and certainly with only 8 topics, there is much left out of the book.
