Book Description
Charles Spurgeon, the “Prince of Preachers,” was very mindful of the need to avoid seeing Christmas as a merely religious holiday, open to commercialization and frivolity. Accordingly, throughout most of his extensive ministry he refused to alter his teaching schedule to fit in a “Christmas” sermon, as is so common today. Looking through Spurgeon’s vast teaching archive, we find only 19 instances in which special attention was given to the topic of Christmas. Spurgeon’s focus in these 19 sermons is overwhelmingly the who and why of Christmas. He marveled at the fact that God would send his only Son into the world for people who in no way deserved it. Christ came into the world to save sinners. That was Spurgeon’s focus 150 years ago. We need that message now more than ever. Joy to the world, the Lord has come!

Celebrating The 12 Days of Christmas
Author: Chris Marchand
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532655339
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
The song “The 12 Days of Christmas” is a mainstay of the holiday season, but the practice of celebrating Christmas as a twelve-day festival fell out of fashion long ago in most cultures. In Celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas, author Chris Marchand explores the history behind the season and individual feast days from December 25 to January 6, and then offers suggestions for how you can celebrate it with your family, church, or community. Along with this, he provides answers to many of the nagging questions surrounding the holiday, such as the history behind the twelve-days song, why December 25 was chosen as the date, and what to do about its supposedly pagan origins. The challenge before us is to first help people see Christmas as a holiday that begins, rather than ends, on December 25, and then to together figure out how to reinvent Christmas in the present by learning how it was celebrated in the past.

The Pleasures of God
Author: John Piper
Publisher: Multnomah
ISBN: 1601422911
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 401
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.

Barbed Arrows
Author: Charles H Spurgeon
Publisher: Aneko Press
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The "artillery" herein has been proven by one of the most skillful archers to be effective in piercing the armor joints of many sinners' harnesses. The arrows of conviction have gone home to many hearts when shot from a bow drawn at a venture (1 Kings 22:34). It has been a profitable pleasure to bundle the arrows, and it is hoped that the war-worn soldiers may be relieved a little as we hand them their ammunition in this form. As Spurgeon said, "When the Word of God becomes an arrow in a man's heart, he writhes; and he would gladly tear it out; but it is a barbed shaft." This wonderful volume has been compiled from the sermons of Charles H. Spurgeon. During a season of sickness and recovery, Spurgeon's son found organizing the illustrations, anecdotes, and similes used by his beloved father a pleasing pastime. Knowing the Lord's archers' desire for the arrows of truth to stick fast in the hearts of the King's enemies, it was felt that such a sheaf of arrows, so well barbed, would prove useful to fellow bowmen.
