Reading the Bible Supernaturally
Author: John Piper
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 143355352X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
The Bible reveals glorious things. And yet we often miss its power because we read it the same way we read any other book. In Reading the Bible Supernaturally, best-selling author John Piper teaches us how to read the Bible in light of its divine author. In doing so, he highlights the Bible's unique ability to reveal God to humanity in a way that informs our minds, transforms our hearts, and ignites our love. With insights into the biblical text drawn from decades of experience studying, preaching, and teaching Scripture, Piper helps us experience the transformative power of God's Word—a power that extends beyond the mere words on the page. Ultimately, Piper shows us that in the seemingly ordinary act of reading the Bible, something supernatural happens: we encounter the living God.

The Perfect You

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Should Your Heart Be Tested or Trusted? Many believers are convinced they have a “deceitful” and “wicked” heart that is not to be trusted. Theirs is a faith of duty and obligation—only a faint imitation of the full and abundant life Jesus promised. This provocative book invites you to a radically different approach, an inspiring move from head to heart that affects every aspect of your life: how you handle conflict, how you communicate with and love others, and how you view yourself and God. There’s a place of purity within you where Jesus lives. God calls you to live from this perfect place—not merely from your head, but from your heart. Knowing the perfect you means no more waiting for closeness with God. Knowing the perfect you brings a freedom in Jesus that you’ve never experienced before. “In this captivating book, Andrew Farley and Tim Chalas invite you to celebrate God’s perfect (and accurate!) view of you.” —BART MILLARD, singer/songwriter for MercyMe

Pages : 218
Book Description
Break the cycle of doubting yourself, take God at His word, and talk back with truth - a new message of freedom from bestselling coauthor of Wild and Free Hayley Morgan. We know Christ came to speak life, but then how come our inner critic keeps showing up and stealing the mic? If we’re honest, she’s a harsh one, saying things we’d never dream of saying to others: You’ll never measure up, you’ll fail again tomorrow, you just can’t get it right. It has been said that the eighteen inches from head to heart is the soul’s longest journey. Our head knows the good news is true, but our heart struggles to believe it, and it is in this gap that we battle to believe the promises of God. Hayley Morgan, coauthor of bestselling book Wild and Free, has wrestled with this tension her whole life. In Preach to Yourself, she tackles it head-on to discover how we can renew our minds to renew our lives. For every woman who struggles with repetitive, negative self-talk, this book will show you how to identify the toxic loops where you get stuck and replace them with the truth of God we can believe with our whole selves. This is not a “try harder” reprimand, it’s a “believe better” invitation: to take God at His word when He tells you who you are. Come along and learn a simple practice to break free from the lies holding you back, and step forward into the fullness of life God has planned.

"Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you." - Rumi The more we strip ourselves down, the more potent life becomes.

While navigating through unforeseen death, the loss of her baby boy, cancer, and a miraculous birth through surrogacy, Julianne Haycox found herself nudged closer and closer towards a spiritual connection to her heart and soul. As she turned inward and stepped back out into the natural world that she loved most, she discovered that within this sacred silence were the answers to what she needed to heal and unleash.

Grace
Author: Carolyn Ann Bardsley
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781536944976
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Grace, as it is commonly understood, is God's unmerited favor. This definition of grace is impoverished because it makes grace a characteristic of God rather than the presence of His Spirit within our heart. It is from our heart that we are to listen and follow Him. Grace is God's divine influence upon our heart and His expression in and through us. Living in grace shifts us from trying to live beliefs in our mind to believing in our heart where our Lord and Savior resides. Jesus demonstrated how to live in grace. He repeatedly emphasized that He said and did nothing but what Father God did in and through Him. We are to live as Jesus did by receiving and surrendering to God's Spirit within our heart. We are to listen and heed His voice and promptings from within. This book explains how to live in grace and develop an intimate relationship with God our Father through His Spirit residing in our heart. Jesus made it possible for us to come out from under the law and live in grace. This is the abundant life Jesus won for us. Trying to obey written words from Scripture can become laws we try to keep and cause us to deny Christ-God's Spirit-within us. Without understanding grace, Scriptures can seem to conflict with one another such as "a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law" (Romans 3:28) and "a man is justified by works and not by faith alone" (James 2:24). Without understanding grace, Scripture can seem condemning and impossible to live such as "He who commits sin is of the devil" (1 John 3:8) and "No one born of God commits sin; for God's nature abides in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God" (1 John 3:9). Early Christians understood the importance of grace. Their epistles in the New Testament start and end with the word grace. This book is a comprehensive Biblical study of grace with over 300 Scriptures interspersed with the author's discussion about the importance of living in grace. The author wanted to make sure that her new understanding of grace agreed with what Scripture says about Christ and what it means to be a believer. A sequel to this book, Living In Grace, is the author's testimony of how she lives in grace and the significant difference it has made in her life. This book is written for those who have submitted their life to Christ, yet have not entered the freedom and victory of living in grace that Jesus made possible for us. The purpose of this book is to increase your understanding of: How to come out from under the burden and bondages of trying to live by Scripture beliefs and laws and enter into the freedom and victory of living in grace by believing in Christ-God's Spirit-within your heart. How to have faith in a Living God rather than just having knowledge about God from the Bible. How to have a faith based on the Spirit of Truth in your heart rather than knowledge in your mind. How to hear God speak with you and develop a love relationship with your Lord and Savior.

Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
"Jenifer Madson captures the heart of the simple. I loved it. All of it. You will, too." —Karen Casey, PhD, author of The Good Stuff from Growing Up in a Dysfunctional Family Head to Heart gently guides us to cultivate (and sustain) those moments of clarity—the awakenings of everyday life—and to embrace and grow from them all, no matter how joyful or painful. "Awakening…think of it as something we need to do every day; it is a process, a gradual awareness and growing insight," Madson writes. Practice awakening to: generate more compassion or love, create an unshakable sense of well-being, better understand your mind and surroundings, find answers to specific challenges, or all of the above. Practice can happen anywhere, any time: on the mat or on the move, sitting or walking, in silence or conversation, alone or with a group; in short, whenever you are consciously pointing your mind toward greater clarity and service while connecting with the Spirit, you are meditating and preparing to awaken. Head to Heart times 365. Each brief meditation opens to the promise of peace, joy, and purpose.
