Doctrine & Christian Living
Our Radiant Redeemer
Tim Chester
This devotional looks at the transfiguration of Jesus in depth, giving readers a glorious lens through which to view Jesus during Lent and Easter. Tim Chester says: “The transfiguration is a light that illuminates the meaning of the cross and resurrection. As we look deeper, we’ll discover that it’s not just Jesus who is transfigured. His promise is that we, too, can be transfigured by the light He brings to our lives.” As we see Jesus in all His glory, we will be reminded of how marvellous He is and how brilliant our future with Him will be. We will be moved to worship Jesus with our whole lives, giving thanks for all that He is and all that He has done. Each of the devotions includes prompts to reflect and pray.

Paradoxology
Krish Kandiah
The Christian faith is full of apparent paradoxes: - a compassionate God who sanctions genocide - an all-powerful God who allows horrific suffering - a God who owns everything yet demands so much from his followers - a God who is distant and yet present at the same time. Many of us have big questions that the Christian faith seems to leave unanswered. So we push them to the back of our minds, for fear of destabilizing our beliefs. But leaving these questions unexamined is neither healthy for us, nor honouring to God. Rather than shying away from the difficult questions, we need to face them head on. What if the tension between apparently opposing doctrines is exactly where faith comes alive? What if this ancient faith has survived so long not in spite of but precisely because of these apparent contradictions? What if it is in the difficult parts of the Bible that God is most clearly revealed? PARADOXOLOGY makes a bold new claim: that the paradoxes that seem like they ought to undermine belief are actually the heart of our vibrant faith, and that it is only by continually wrestling with them - rather than trying to pin them down or push them away - that we can really move forward, individually and together. Krish Kandiah is Executive Director for Churches in Mission at the Evangelical Alliance, Chair of the Theological Advisory Panel for Tearfund and lecturer at Regent Park College, Oxford University. He is in demand as a speaker and lecturer. He lives with his wife, children and foster children in Oxfordshire.

Pressing On, Finishing Well : Learning from Seven Biblical Characters
Michael Black
Our lives are finite. There is a date and time when they will come to an end. But will our last years be lived in an upward trajectory or descend ingloriously? There are biblical characters who lived godly lives in their early days but walked away from God and his ways in their later years; there are also biblical characters who stayed true right up until their last day on this earth. The characters in this book all fall in to one of these two categories – and we can learn from them all. Read on, and discover how those who lived long ago encourage us to finish well today.

Prodigal God
Timothy Keller
In THE PRODIGAL GOD, New York pastor Timothy Keller uses the story of the prodigal son to shine a light on the central, beautiful message of Jesus: the gospel of grace, hope and salvation. Keller argues that the parable of the prodigal son, while Jesus' best-known parable, is also His least understood. He introduces the reader to all the characters in this timeless story, showing that it concerns not just a wayward son, but also a judgemental older brother and, most importantly, a loving father. In this challenging and inspiring book, Timothy Keller invites both faithful believers and curious outsiders to come to a new and totally life-changing understanding of the central message of the Christian faith.

Pursuit of God
A.W. Tozer
A call to raise God to his rightful place. Sometimes the voices that speak so clearly in the present are those that echo from the past. In this Christian classic, the late A.W. Tozer brings the mystics to bear on modern spirituality, grieving the hustle and bustle and calling for a slow, steady gaze upon God. With prophetic vigour and flowing prose, he calls Christians to replace low thoughts of God with lofty ones, to quiet our lives so we can know God's presence. He reminds us that life apart from God is really no life at all. Tozer writes from upon his knees, a posture fit for presenting the character of God in all its demanding grandeur. 'Arise, O sleeper!' is his word to us, and yet if we heed the call, we will see that to arise is not to stand, but to kneel before the God of heaven in humble contemplation. To pursue God is to know Him, and in our knowing be drawn in.
