Book Synopsis''Why is it better for me to forgive someone and take on the cost of that forgiveness myself?''In his new book, renowned pastor and author Timothy Keller grapples with this thorny question: why we should forgive those who hurt us. It is the heart of the gospel, but it''s not solely important on a religious level; the matter of forgiveness has a huge impact on social and cultural levels, in terms of how we deal with the people, and problems, in our lives. What is it like to carry around resentment and judgement, and what does it cost us to do so - as against the very real personal cost of extending forgiveness to others? These are issues that matter on a daily level, as well as a spiritual one.Writing with his trademark wisdom and deep reliance on the Bible, Keller helps readers think about these questions in an way that will help them rethink their lives, in ways that point to Jesus showing us how to live in the world - and how we can live in a spirit of forgiTrade ReviewPastor Keller delivers a thorough and eloquent apologetic for forgiveness... All will appreciate Keller's lucid prose and gift for succinctly summarizing biblical wisdom. The result is a thought-provoking take on how to forgive. * Publishers Weekly *Full of cultural references and solid biblical exposition, Keller deftly explains why the need to forgive is so essential in a society that seems, increasingly, to hang onto hurt feelings and desire vengeance. Without shying away from the thorny issues of church abuse, seeking justice and dealing with the real-world consequences of others' bad behaviour, Keller nevertheless makes the case for forgiving as God commands. But he doesn't leave the reader there. he also provides a practical guide on how to do this. -- Emma Fowle * Christianity Magazine *

We expect so many other things in threes, too, from the three blind mice to big red buses. When it comes to understanding ourselves, we keep coming back to three things that define, complete and motivate the personality; three things that largely determine our words, reactions and our life's direction; these three things, designed by God to draw us into relationship with Him, to answer the big questions of life: Who am I? Do I matter? What's the point?

Book SynopsisAlthough the word worship' features extensively in Scripture, it is difficult to find a Bible verse that could be used as a definition.

It will also be a useful guide for new Christians.

Book Synopsis"That prayer is most likely to pierce heaven which first pierces one's own heart." For the Puritans, prayer was neither casual nor dull. Their prayers were passionate affairs, from earnestly pleading for mercy to joyful praise. These rich expressions of deep Christian faith are a shining example of holy living. The Puritan combination of warm piety and careful intellect have fueled a renaissance of interest in their movement. This combination is on display in Piercing Heaven, a collection of carefully selected prayers from leading Puritans. The language in these prayers has been slightly updated for a modern audience while still retaining the elevated tone of the Puritans. With prayers from Richard Baxter, Thomas Brooks, John Owen, and many more, each prayer reminds us that heartfelt prayer is central to the Christian life.

Scholarly but personal and accessible, Andrew challenges us not only to know the Great Story, but live it - surely the most important Bible translation of all.' -- Paul Woolley, CEO, London Institute for Contemporary Christianity'Every now and again, a book comes along which makes such overriding sense and joins up so many figurative dots that you can hardly put it down. Few people succeed in expounding and communicating the complex spiritual truths of the Bible with such clarity and ease as Andrew Ollerton. Without question this eminently readable, cogent, and most timely book will compel readers not only to read more of the Bible but draw them closer to the God who both inspired and breathed it into life.' -- Siân Wyn Rees, Director, Evangelical Alliance (Wales)'In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, discovering meaning, peace and purpose is more challenging than ever. But the story of our lives today is remarkably similar to the stories of previous generations, whose experience will add wisdom and direction to our own journey. In this compelling book Andrew unlocks the big themes of life by exploring the Bible with a rare combination of passion and expertise. If you want to understand the story of your life I can think of no better place to start than in the pages of this book.' -- Pete Wynter, Director of HTB Leadership College Londonhighly acclaimed book * Reform *
