Book Description
This is the fascinating and important story of how God’s Word came to East Africa. Beginning with the pioneering efforts of Krapf and Rebmann, Aloo Osotsi Mojola traces the history of Bible translation in the region from 1844 to the present. He incorporates four decades of personal conversations and interviews, along with extensive research, to provide the first comprehensive account of the translations undertaken in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The maps and tables included assist the reader, as does a history of the Swahili language – its standardization, role as lingua franca, and impact on the work of translation. Mojola’s writing is a tribute to those who sacrificed much in their quest to see the word of God accessible to all people, in all places – and the many who continue to sacrifice for the peoples of East Africa. This book is a key contribution to the important and ongoing narrative of how God has met us, and continues to meet us, in our own contexts and our own languages.

Book Description
More than 200,000 copies sold Feel God’s love more personally. Do you realize that the God of the universe speaks your love language, and your expressions of love for Him are shaped by your love language? Learn how you can give and receive God’s love through the five love languages: words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Gary Chapman writes, “As we respond to the love of God and begin to identify the variety of languages He uses to speak to us, we soon learn to speak those languages ourselves. Whatever love language you prefer, may you find ever deeper satisfaction in using that language in your relationship with God and with other people.” The book includes a brand new chapter on “Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone” which will teach you the joys of speaking a love language you’re not used to with God. No matter what love language you prefer, you will become more deeply connected with God and watch this bond transform all of your relationships. Contains personal reflection questions and a study guide for groups

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
This book is actually 2 books in 1: The first is a 6-chapter, 180 page instructional book that lays the foundation of how we can tune in to the ways God speaks to every person every day. Most books that deal with hearing God are general and theoretical, merely dealing with the various ways in which He speaks and who He spoke to. This book however will not only teach you how to recognize the ways God speaks to you individually in your own language, but also to discern what He actually says to you personally and specifically on a daily basis. You will learn how to be sensitive to recognize the many ways God uses everyday observations and events to communicate spiritual truths to you, just as Jesus communicated deep truth and insights to His disciples simply by making observations about people, animals, food, nature, clothing, and even the weather. You will learn to identify and correct 10 hindrances to hearing God, such as ignorance, insecurity, unworthiness, fear and others. You will also see from Scripture, 8 wrong steps, in the form of beliefs and judgments, that people take that hinder and prevent hearing the voice of God,and how to get back on the right track. It also has a section on interpreting dreams and visions from a Biblical perspective. The second book is a 52-chapter, 220 page devotional book, laid out as a weekly topical study, with each week's subject based on a testimonial anecdote about how God spoke to the author through simple everyday events. Along with each weekly anecdote are 7 daily Scriptures that relate to that specific topic for study and meditation. In addition, it includes a weely personal study journal to assist you in recognizing how and when God speaks to you, as well as a method to "translate" what He specifically says to you each and every day into your own language. Your faith will be greatly encouraged to know that God speaks to you personally every day, and by using these simple methods, you will develop your own "ears to hear" what God says to you.

Book Description
What does the Bible say about itself? Before this question can be addressed, Tim Meadowcroft argues, we have to address the wider notion that God speaks. Accordingly, Meadowcroft offers fresh, wide-ranging expositions of key passages in both Testaments on the character and power of God's word.

Book Description
He Speaks in the Silence is about Diane Comer’s search for the kind of intimacy with God every woman longs for. It is a story of trying to be a good girl, of following the rules, of longing for a satisfaction that eludes us. Disappointed with all Diane had been told was supposed to fulfill her, she begged God in desperation to give her more. And He did. But first He took her through a trial so debilitating it almost destroyed what little faith she had. He let her go deaf. Using vivid parallels between her deafness and every woman’s struggle to hear God, this book shows women not only how Diane, as a deaf woman, hears in everyday life, but also how she can learn to listen to God in the midst of her own loud life, finding intimacy with God and the deep soul satisfaction she longs for.
