Changed Into His Likeness
Watchman Nee
Are you ready for real transformation? God Is Enough! This message comes through loud and clear in the lives of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. While they failed time and again, God was faithful to restore and bless them. He is able to deal with our slipping and stumbling as well. Watchman Nee uses the lives of the patriarchs to show that God is able to turn our failure into success and our weakness into strength.

Choose Love
Stormie Omartian
Stormie Omartian's bestselling books on the power of prayer have touched millions of lives. Recent books have taken a closer look at the leading of the Holy Spirit and the call to be a prayer warrior for God. Now Stormie takes a fresh look at another powerful aspect of knowing our Creator…His amazing and great love for us. We reflect God most clearly when we are motivated by the power of love in all we say and do. But first we have to understand the depth of God's love for us and receive it. Then we must learn how to effectively express our love for Him. 'One of the many ways we can show our love to God is to deliberately choose to show love to others and in every situation,' says Stormie. 'We can only accomplish this with the guidance and enablement of the Holy Spirit. When we do that, God blesses us and transforms our lives in ways we cannot even imagine. And we will have a sense of God's pleasure toward us that is far more valuable than anything else we may desire. This book is about making that sometimes difficult choice and the rewards that follow.' Transform your heart, your relationships, and your future as you press into God's love and let the power of His life and character move through you.

Choosing Forgiveness
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth
Perhaps you still remember the moment, the time of day, the look in the other person's eye, when you were deeply hurt by someone you trusted. And since then your life has been put on hold, sabotaged by harbored resentment, dreams of revenge, or perhaps indifference and numbness. Or it may be just the "stuff" of every day life and relationships that has left you with a knot in your stomach and a dull ache in your heart. There are no magic words or secret formulas for forgiveness. But there are Biblical principles that can help you break free from bitterness and pain. In Choosing Forgiveness, celebrated teacher Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth delves into God's word to uncover the promises and expose the myths of forgiveness. Discover specific strategies for putting God's grace and mercy into practice, forgiving others as God has forgiven you. Break free: choose forgiveness.

Christ's Glorious Achievements
C. H. Spurgeon
The popular view of Christianity today is a list of rules. Do's and Don't seems to be what it is all about. But if that's what we think Christianity is all about then we have a lot to learn. The key to understanding Christianity is not something we have to do, but rather something that Jesus Christ has already achieved on our behalf. This book, by one of the most influential Christians of the last 200 years, looks at what Christ has done for us. Read it and then ask yourself the question "If Christ has done all this for me, is anything I am asked to do for Christ too much in return?"

Church in Disorienting Times : Leading Prophetically through Adversity
Jonathan Andrews
The Middle East is in a period of profound change. In the midst of turbulence, trauma, tragedy and the hopelessness felt by many, an increasing number of indigenous churches are finding ever more imaginative ways to be active in the societies of which they are a long-standing and integral part. This book describes some of these developments. It seeks to inspire Christians worldwide to stand alongside such people and to provoke everyone, in the Middle East and elsewhere, to ask what they should be doing to encourage transformation of societies to the glory of God. How can we be the salt, light and yeast that Scripture exhorts us to be when faced with despair? How can we live as active heroes when others expect us to be passive victims? The expert contributors of this book delve into these issues to give churches direction in these disorienting times.

Crazy Love - Updated Edition
Francis Chan
Five years since it was first released, ‘Crazy Love’ has sold over two million copies. Francis Chan even admits he didn’t see that coming! Now with an extra chapter, this updated version still holds the same powerful message it did five years ago. The 11th chapter offers Francis’ reflections on the past five years that have passed since he wrote the book, plus some examples of people who are now living in a passionate love relationship with God. “As you read this new edition of ‘Crazy Love’, my prayer for you is the same as it was when I first wrote it... I want you to see that the crazy people in this world are those who experience God’s love and remain complacent, not those who let go of all they have and follow Him completely.” – taken from the updated preface, Francis Chan.

Cross of Jesus
Warren Wiersbe
'A hideous mistake'. 'The pivotal event of world history'. These are but two of the multitude of opinions expressed down the ages about the momentus and mysterious crucifixion of Jesus. Warren Wiersbe takes us right back to the scene and shows us how Jesus himself understood the meaning of the cross, why He endured it, and what He actually said as He hung there. It becomes clear that Jesus was confronting cosmic forces. But, more than that, he was accomplishing His Father's purpose that would ultimately affect the destiny of our lives.
