Book Description
Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?

Book Description
As part of its effort to forge a new secular Jewish nation, the nascent Israeli state tried to limit Jewish religiosity. However, with the steady growth of the ultraorthodox community and the expansion of the settler community, Israeli society is becoming increasingly religious. Although the arrival of religious discourse in Israeli politics has long been noticed, its cultural development has rarely been addressed. Directed by God explores how the country’s popular media, principally film and television, reflect this transformation. In doing so, it examines the changing nature of Zionism and the place of Judaism within it. Once the purview of secular culture, Israel’s media initially promoted alternatives to traditional religious expression; however, using films such as Kadosh, Waltz with Bashir, and Eyes Wide Open, Yaron Peleg shows how Israel’s contemporary film and television programs have been shaped by new religious trends and how secular Israeli culture has processed and reflected on its religious heritage. He investigates how shifting cinematic visions of Jewish masculinity and gender track transformations in the nation’s religious discourse. Moving beyond the secular/religious divide, Directed by God explores changing film and television representations of different Jewish religious groups, assessing what these representations may mean for the future of Israeli society.

Book Description
In the present day, many professing Evangelicals believe that "salvation" stems from a superficial display of moral behavior, believe in Jesus and nothing more is required in the life of a Christian. Roberts viewed this approach as the efforts of a natural man attempting to accumulate merit before God to secure eternal life – a deceptive scheme crafted by the devil for the unsuspecting soul. His book aims to guide sinners away from these innate inclinations and towards Jesus Christ. It's more than a mere invitation to Christ; it's a robust tool designed to jolt the sinner’s understanding into grasping the fundamental aspects of the Gospel of Jesus Christ concerning sin and salvation. This book serves as a heartfelt guide, mapping the path for the natural man towards the redeeming grace of King Jesus. Some have remarked that this particular book stands as an unparalleled exhortation in the lineage of Christian literature. It explores deeply the covenant of God, detailing the ways and means through which a sinner, guided and changed by God, can achieve salvation. It elucidates the path to saving grace and to the sole Redeemer of God’s chosen, with what many believe to be some of the most compelling and poignant directives and descriptions in the Gospel. Its impact has been compared to, and some say even exceeds, the urgency found in Alleine’s “Alarm to Unconverted Sinners.” Roberts' primary aim with this work was to not only spark interest in Christ among sinners but also to guide them towards the sole means of salvation. This was achieved through targeted, potent, straightforward, and factual sermonizing and writing. It’s likely that you have never encountered such preaching or writing before. As the Scriptures are thoroughly explored, they reveal the essence of Gospel beauty, glorifying Christ in their accuracy, fervor, and theological depth. Christians and non-Christians will find themselves transformed by this work if they take it to heart sincerely. After reading his twenty-four specific directions for discovering the true, biblical Christ, readers will inevitably find themselves either closer to heaven or closer to hell.

Book Description
God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.

Book Description
The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia
