Book Description
Apart from God, we can’t resist temptation. Jesus told the disciples to watch and pray, and that includes us, so we don’t enter into temptation. (Matthew 26:41) We need to pray, and pray often. We also need to pray with others when we can. The enemy makes something look true when it’s a lie, and he makes it look pleasant to the desires of our old nature. It seems good, but it is destructive. We need to recognise temptation for what it is – something that can lead to sin.

Seven Ways, Truths and Reasons
Author: Lin Wills
Publisher: White Tree Publishing
ISBN: 1913950735
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 518
Book Description
Sixty-three stand-alone short chapters of help in living the Christian life. There are chapters here for everyone – people who are walking towards God, people walking with God, and those walking on with God. The short chapters are arranged approximately in this order, but there is much value in the early chapters for those looking for a deeper faith. This is not a book where you have to start at Chapter 1 and work your way through to the end. The Contents page lists the title of every chapter, so just dive in and read one that inter-ests you. Of course, you can start at Chapter 1 and read the whole book if you prefer, and our prayer is that every reader will be greatly blessed by what they read. The majority of these sixty-three chapters have been released individually as booklets, and every chapter as individual eBooks that are available in all formats from major eBook distributors. The eBook editions are free from most distributors. This whole volume is also available as a paperback from major book distributors.

Seven Men
Author: Eric Metaxas
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0718087844
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
In Seven Men, New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas presents seven exquisitely crafted short portraits of widely known—but not well understood—Christian men, each of whom uniquely showcases a commitment to live by certain virtues in the truth of the gospel. Written in a beautiful and engaging style, Seven Men addresses what it means (or should mean) to be a man today, at a time when media and popular culture present images of masculinity that are not the picture presented in Scripture and historic civil life. This book answers questions like: What does it take to be a true exemplar as a father, brother, husband, leader, coach, counselor, change agent, and wise man? What does it mean to stand for honesty, courage, and charity? And how can you stand especially at times when the culture and the world run counter to those values? Each of the seven biographies represents the life of a man who experienced the struggles and challenges to be strong in the face of forces and circumstances that would have destroyed the resolve of lesser men. Each of the seven men profiled—George Washington, William Wilberforce, Eric Liddell, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jackie Robinson, John Paul II, and Charles Colson—call the reader to a more elevated walk and lifestyle, one that embodies the gospel in the world around us.

Seven Truths About Grace
Author: Lin Wills
Publisher: White Tree Publishing
ISBN: 1912529890
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
Think of justice, mercy and grace. If we are guilty, then we deserve justice. Or if we are guilty maybe we can hope for mercy. Grace is completely different. Yes, we are guilty, but through the death of Jesus on the cross we are justified ‒ made “Just as if I’d never sinned,” That’s an example of Grace. We are saved by grace, through faith (Ephesians 2:4-6). It is the gift of God. We can’t earn it. Grace is the undeserved favour of God. God fully accepts us through the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. We are clothed in His righteousness.

Seven Truths About Faithfulness

Publisher: White Tree Publishing
ISBN: 1913950182
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
Let’s be content in who we are in God. There is not another person exactly like us. We are unique, a one-off! There is great power in being ourselves. Trying to be like someone else doesn’t work. We were born to be who we are. We were chosen in advance by God for a particular calling. God has a role for each one of us, a role that only we were born to fulfil. Nobody else can fit into it. It was made and prepared especially for us. Our part fits us like a glove. We don’t have to impress people, we just have to take up what God called us for and chose us for in advance. We need to put our faith into action, and receive all that God has for us.

Seven Truths About Hunger

ISBN: 1913950654
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 55
Book Description
Loss of our natural appetite usually means there is something wrong. Spiritually, it can mean the same. God made us to hunger for His presence. Even good things can take away our hunger for God – even things like our busyness in our work for Him. There is always the temptation to fill our time with good things, and miss the best that God has for us. God wants us to feast on Him, to spend time in His presence, and for His presence to be the pinnacle of our lives. We should desire God above all else. (John 7:37-38)
