In this age of uncertainty and relativism, it has become increasingly important that Christians remain strongly rooted in Christ and His Word. The Christian s Compass aims to draw Christians back to the foundational truths essential for living as true disciples of Christ. In addition to the basic Christian doctrines, Les Wheeldon addresses subjects such as discipleship, healing and deliverance, prayer, leadership, and church planting and growth. His teaching brings clear spiritual insight to these areas of Christian life and equips Christians with a Christ-centred compass to guide them as they navigate the peaks and valleys of life.
'Few recently published books have made a greater impression on me than R. T. Kendall's Total Forgiveness,' writes Robin Eames. 'I have found so much in his words to challenge my own thinking and work. His Bible-centred approach is matched by the realism of how individuals have tried to face up to loss, distress and frustration.' This book, possibly R. T. Kendall's most important work to date, explains what God calls for as 'total forgiveness'. No sin or action is unforgivable, says R. T., and we are called to keep no record of wrongs, to refuse to punish those who have hurt us, to show mercy and to avoid any form of bitterness. Total Forgiveness contains a radical message for a divided world. 'If I could have only one of R. T.'s books, this would be my choice. There is no more important message for the church today' Rob Parsons

Does a day without difficult news seem out of reach? Does this world seem topsy-turvy at best, toxic at worst? Max Lucado’s sound Biblical insights and signature storytelling provide strength and encouragement amid the current chaos and exhaustion. In Unbreakable Courage, today's headlines and the truth of Scripture intersect in compelling fashion. Max offers a fresh look at the story of Elijah the prophet, showing readers how they can stand strong day by day in the face of turbulent times, regardless of the challenging circumstances they may face. In today’s world, we see echoes of those unsettled, contentious times Elijah endured. Radical departures from long-held truths are taking center stage. Change is evident everywhere we look—in homes, churches, schools, government, and the workplace. We often feel as if we’re swimming upstream in a downstream world. Yet the story of Elijah urges us to have hope in the one true living God. Elijah’s unswerving belief fuelled his courage, and it will do the same for us. Max provides a field manual on how to have strong faith during a time of spiritual drought, anxiety, and exhaustion. He invites us to lean in and let Elijah’s story remind us to -wait for God in solitude and silence, -pray impossible prayers, -live with an expectation of divine disruption, -turn to God during emotional lows, and -understand the spiritual battles we fight. Elijah’s story will help calm readers’ fears and guide their steps. Faith in our unchanging God instils a capacity for living a renewed life of courage. With God’s help and following Elijah’s inspiring example, readers will discover strength to face the challenges of this life and the courage to make a difference.
