Book Description
"In Stand Firm, John MacArthur resounds the Christian's call to holiness. He does this by outlining some of the dimensions of the Christian life, especially as it relates to living in a post-Christian era. First, he addresses the importance of having and maintaining a Christian conscience. Second, he talks about the importance of the Christian to not only his neighbor but also to love his enemy, and this is largely done through a focus on the teaching of Deuteronomy and on the teaching of Jesus Christ in Matthew 5. Third, he further elaborates on the nature of the Christian love and the fact that it often mean loving in a sacrificial way that can require suffering. Fourth, he asserts the necessity of prayer in the Christian life and also elaborates on the true substance of Christian prayer. Fifth, he corrects any false notion that Christian faith is meant to garner influence in culture. He calls this the "myth of influence." Finally, he drives home the importance of persevering to the end of this life as a distinguishing mark of the Christian life, underscoring the title of the book, Stand Firm"--

Book Description
In today's fluid culture, many churches are adrift--longing to reach spiritually thirsty people, but failing to make an impact. Have you noticed? Congregations are stuck or declining. Millennials and Gen Z are walking away. Volunteers and their generosity are drying up. Is your city, town, or neighborhood spiritually dry? Do you long to see more of the living water of Jesus flowing freely through your community, generating a fresh wave of ministry momentum? Buckle up: you're in for a whitewater ride! Liquid Church tells the fascinating story of a New Jersey church that began "on accident" and grew into one of America's 100 Fastest-Growing Churches, with over 5,000 in weekly attendance and more than 2,400 baptisms to date. Their secret? They harnessed the power of six powerful ministry currents sweeping across North America including: special needs, creative communication, ministry mergers, compassionate cause, radical generosity, and leadership development. With powerful stories and scriptural insights, backed by national research, Tim Lucas and Warren Bird describe dozens of fresh ideas, new ministry wineskins, and hard-won leadership learnings that resonate with rising generations in today's "show-then-tell" culture. Each chapter includes practical tools, real-life examples, and links to "Other Churches Making Waves" with cutting-edge ministry ideas designed to help saturate your city for Christ. Ready to dive deeper? Whether you serve a brand-new church plant, fast-growing congregation, or an aging ministry ready for reinvention, Liquid Church is an inspiring and practical guide for leaders ready to reach their spiritually thirsty neighbors--those who have given up on church, but haven't given up on God.

Book Description
Why We Believe What We Believe Like most Christian institutions these days, the Moody Bible Institute has a doctrinal statement. Yet sometimes we need a little more, because sometimes a paragraph just isn’t enough—because you want to dig deeper, you want to know why. In Standing Firm, professors from Moody break down, expand, and elucidate the 11 theological topics of Moody’s doctrinal statement, and why they each matter for you and me. These topics include: Theology Proper General and Special Revelation Authority Jesus Creation & Fall Soteriology The Church Eschatology Sign Gifts Gender Roles Sexuality

Book Description
After many years of wandering in a secular humanist wilderness, James L. Morrisson became a Christian at age 66. He quickly developed a deep love for the life-giving truth of Scripture. Standing Firm in the Faith reflects his rich and varied training and experience. It has the broad perspective of a student of history; the sharp reasoning of a lawyer; the practical, down-to-earth examples of a teacher; and the passion of a classical musician. It also reflects the love of a man who is "Dad" and "Grandpa" to many members of his church. The purpose of Standing Firm in the Faith is very practical-to let Scripture stir people into action. Whether you are a new believer or a seasoned Christian, it will give you a solid, Scriptural foundation so that you can stand your ground in these challenging times. This is more than a discussion of important Scriptural principles. It is also a personal testimony of how the life-giving, mind-transforming power of Scripture can change our lives. "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love." (1 Corinthians 16:13-14, NIV)

Book Description
Young women are deeply dissatisfied with society's standards (and double standards). They want more for themselves--but sometimes they don't quite know what that more should be. That's where Miss Black New Jersey 2018 and Teen Vogue "It Girl" turned fashion writer Tarah-Lynn Saint-Elien comes in. Through her insightful comments on media, pop culture, and pervading cultural myths about beauty, fashion, and womanhood, Tarah-Lynn dismantles the messages that feed into the insecurities, fears, doubts, and guilt that young women experience today. She introduces them to an understanding of God as a loving Father and the King of all kings, who bestows upon his daughters a crown of love, worth, and power. And she shows them how to not only claim the promises of God but also walk purposefully in them as independent women (no prince necessary!) who respond to adversity with righteousness and authority.
