Book Description
This 10-week study of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon mines the Wisdom Literature not only for wise principles for living, but also for the wise person these books point to through their drama, poetry, proverb, and song. In her accessible and authentic style, Nancy Guthrie focuses on seeing Jesus in the Old Testament instead of emphasizing works-based moralism. She presents clear commentary and contemporary application of gospel truths, speaking directly to issues such as repentance, submission, happiness, and sexuality. Each weekly lesson includes questions for personal study, a contemporary teaching chapter that emphasizes how the passage fits into the bigger story of redemptive history, a brief section on how the passage uniquely points to what is yet to come at the consummation of Christ's kingdom, and a leader's guide for group discussion.

Book Description
Until we understand what Jesus accomplished on the cross, we will not understand the Christian faith. God is holy, so He cannot simply overlook our sin. That means we all stand condemned before His righteous judgment. In order to find deliverance from the wrath we deserve, we must look to the Savior who has paid the penalty of sin for those who trust in Him. In this book, Dr. R.C. Sproul surveys the Bible's teaching about the cross of Christ and the grace of God in redeeming His people.

Book Description
New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Book Description
What is the Gospel? Knowing the answer to this question is vital if one is to receive salvation, for belief in the wrong gospel will not save, but condemn (Gal 1:6-9). In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus himself explains the Gospel in his very own way, for it is written:Jesus...said to them..., "The Son of Man will be...crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life! ... Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant..., just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many (Matthew 20:17-19, 26-28).To save you from eternal damnation, God sent His Son Jesus Christ into the world to become its savior. Because "God so loved the world" (John 3:16), He gave his own son to pay the penalty for our sins on the cross. This is the good news of the Gospel. By his blood, you can pray to invite Jesus into your heart. If you do this, he will become your personal Lord and Savior. The promise given to all true believers is as follows:Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life..., the tree of life and...the holy city (Revelation 22:17-19).Instead of hunger and thirst, you are given the promise of the water and of the tree of life. Through the blood of Christ, you will return to paradise, for from paradise man was taken and to paradise man must return. In the restoration of all things, the end is like the beginning (Acts 3:21). For this reason, theApostle Paul, in his letter to the Romans, clarified the forgiveness that is found in Jesus saying:All have sinned and fall short of the glory ofGod..., but God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us..., for the wages of sin is death, but the gift ofGod is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ... If you confess with your mouth,"Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,you will be saved (Romans 3:23-5:8, 6:23-10:10).The gospel is the good news of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ,of whom the Bible declares, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved"(Acts 4:12). And Jesus said of himself: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).Why is this such wonderful news? It provides full and free deliverance from the power and penalty of sin. This is according to the grace of God alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone, for it is "by grace you have been saved,through faith" (Eph 2:8-10). However, in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus warns,"I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Lk13:3). If you simply turn from your sins by turning to the cross, you will experience the renewal that the Holy Spirit brings. Believe in your heart thatChrist died and rose again. That is faith in God.The only way you can be saved is by accepting His free gift of eternal life. When this happens, the evidence of true belief is the presence of the Holy Spirit,for he convicts you of sin, causes spiritual birth, indwells, seals,sanctifies, guides, equips, teaches

"A marvelous debut...has everything a big, thick novel should have, and I hated to put it down." - John Grisham "A page-turner." - New York Times Book Review For readers of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, this is a dramatic and deeply moving novel about an act of violence in a small Appalachian town and the repercussions that will forever change a young man's view of human cruelty and compassion. After seeing the death of his younger brother in a terrible home accident, fourteen-year-old Kevin and his grieving mother are sent for the summer to live with Kevin's grandfather. In this town of Medgar, Kentucky, a peeled-paint coal town deep in Appalachia, Kevin quickly falls in with a half-wild hollow kid named Buzzy Fink who schools him in the mysteries and magnificence of the woods. The town is beset by a massive mountaintop removal operation that is blowing up the hills and back filling the hollows. Kevin's grandfather and others in town attempt to rally the citizens against the "company" and its powerful owner to stop the plunder of their mountain heritage. But when Buzzy witnesses a brutal hate crime, a sequence is set in play that will test Buzzy and Kevin to their absolute limits in an epic struggle for survival in the Kentucky mountains. *Includes Reading Group Guide*

Book Description
Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.
