Baker Publishing Group A Single Life to Live – Stop Waiting for Your
Book SynopsisA single life is a life worth living--and it's worth living well God has a great life all planned out for you. What you may not realize if you're single is that you're already living it. Right now. Today. Your God-designed life doesn't start when you say "I do" or when you get engaged or even when you meet "the one." It's been happening as long as you've been alive--even if you're still single and wish you weren't. Hannah Schermerhorn knows exactly what it's like. She was months away from getting married when her wedding was called off. She absolutely loathed being single again, but in the following years, God taught her many hard lessons that transformed her bitterness to authentic joy. Drawing from the diverse experiences of single people in the Bible, Hannah debunks common myths and misunderstandings about singleness, including the pervasive feeling that a person can't really begin their life until they're married. If you are lonely, hopeless, or impatient, let Hannah be your guide through the internal battles and external pressures you're facing. God has a special purpose for singleness, whether it lasts for only a season or your whole life. Let Hannah help you discover God's best for you in your single life.

Muddy Pearl That Gentle Whisper: Learning to Recognize God's
Book SynopsisA thundering from the skies? An inner knowing, a quiet certainty? The God of the Bible is a God who speaks, who spoke the world itself into being; his word is powerful and it will accomplish what he sends it to do. Our God promises to speak to us, to be found by us when we seek him with all our heart. But how? What is God’s voice actually like? So often, in our noisy world, we struggle to listen, to recognise when he’s speaking. Can we really expect to ‘hear’ him today? Yes, we can, argues Bill Cahusac, our Father God loves to communicate with us, and it can be as natural to encounter his voice at a football match or the supermarket checkout, as it can be in a church or a prayer room. This beautiful book explores important and difficult questions surrounding prophecy. Vulnerable, funny, and entirely relatable, Bill takes us on a journey of his experience. Hearing that gentle whisper, he says, comes from spending time with God in his word and in worship.Table of Contents1. Home 2. Closer than a brother 3. How wide and long, how high and deep 4.

Christian Focus Publications Ltd The Perpetual Battle: The World, the Flesh and
Book SynopsisThrough the joys and sorrows of life, we can often lose sight of what the Bible has assured us: we are at war, and must be ready, continually standing firm against the world, the Devil and even our own flesh. The Perpetual Battle is a training manual, helping us know our enemy and understand what it means to live in enemy–occupied territory as we learn to fight the good fight.Trade ReviewA war is being waged, a war against an internal foe, an external foe, and an ultimate foe. If Christians fail to realize that, we will find ourselves casualties on the battlefields of personal discipleship, cultural skirmishes, and cosmic conflict. This book is a call to arms and a strategy manual. Read it, equip yourself, and fight the good fight. -- N. Clayton Croy (Professor of New Testament, Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Columbus, Ohio)Simon is a gifted interpreter of scripture and offers many keen insights into this complicated and far–reaching subject. His many years of pastoral experience make this book practical and beneficial to every follower of Christ. The Perpetual Battle is a book you will turn to again and again. -- Richard Pratt (President, Third Millennium Ministries, Orlando, Florida)Simon Vibert sounds the trumpet to call us to arms. Even better, he equips us with strategies and tactics drawn from a variety of Christian writers who understood that our greatest enemies are the ones we cannot see. -- Joel R. Beeke (Chancellor, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan)The book is clear, well organized and well researched. In each of the three main sections he considers the Biblical material, significant writers on the subject, and practical application. This is a book to buy – and to put into practice! -- Michael Green (Distinguished Lecturer in Evangelism and Apologetics, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford)Dr Simon Vibert skilfully amplifies his massive Bible knowledge with the historical writings of the Puritans, and such giants as JC Ryle, CS Lewis, Martyn Lloyd–Jones and John Stott. Read – and become aware! However advanced your spiritual standing, you are a clear target in a perpetual battle! -- Richard Bewes (OBE (1939 – 2019), formerly of All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, England)The Christian pursuit of holiness is a daily battle and a lifelong war. This practical guide brings plenty of wisdom, distilled from the spiritual classics of previous eras. It is accessible, biblical, realistic, and wonderfully encouraging. -- Andrew Atherstone (Tutor in History and Doctrine, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford)Vibert takes a truthful, realistic and encouraging approach to making it through this battle of faith, helping readers to implement redemptive strategies and to recognize who leads and ultimately aids us to win the smaller skirmishes as well as the bigger battles of the Christian life. -- Scott M.

Little, Brown & Company Confessions of a Happily Married Man: Finding God
Book SynopsisConfessions of a Happily Married Man is a husband's painfully honest account of his first ten years of marriage. It offers a window into the perspective of a man who went from "hello" to "I do" in nine months and then figured out how hard marriage could be. When Joshua Rogers thought back on the marriage books he had read of sermons about marriage he had heard, it occurred to him that he could only remember one thing about them: the stories. That's why this book is anchored by stories that other couples will relate to and can easily learn from. The stories are cringe-worthy, humorous, inspiring, heart-breaking and full of wisdom - but the author isn't telling the reader what to do with that wisdom. He's letting the reader learn along with him as he's gradually becoming more aware of his shortcomings and more grateful for his wife. Confessions of a Happily Married Man is full of hope, humour and grace, showing couples that they are not alone in the frequent fight to keep their marriages together. After reading, wives will sigh and husbands will smile at the author and his wife and conclude, "Someone else has been through the same challenges we have. If they can make it, we can too!"

Inter-Varsity Press Looking Shame in the Eye: A Path to
Book SynopsisWhat is shame and where does it come from? How can we break free and help others held in its vice-like grip? And what is the gospel when shame is the problem? Shame, humiliation and stigma are all around us. Online shaming reminds us of the power of shame, the crisis of self-worth, the weight of judgement and the need for freedom. At the same time, people are becoming less responsive to gospel messages about guilt, morality and sin. If we want to reach those around us and bring healing to their hurts, we need to speak their language: the language of shame. This book helps Christians to introduce 'shame thinking' into their own lives and the lives of those they disciple and evangelize. Above all, it shows how God's freedom can release anyone suffering from the debilitating grip of shame. Introduction: Reputation ruined - what shame looks like 1 Identity, perception, judgement, and the horizontal nature of shame - case study from Genesis 2 Shame examined - what exactly is shame and how does it relate to guilt? Helpful emotion but also profoundly destructive 3 Who do you think you are? Shame in relation to identity: fig leaves and Instagram 4 Shame and the cross - flipping the script; putting shame to shame. How Jesus dealt with shame 5 'Disposing' of the shameful body - hiding, distancing, laughter, etc. Cultural perceptions 6 A new life. The role of the church - a brand new social community for the shamed 7 Putting our house in order before we help others: practical application 8 Reaching out to the shamed: practical applicationTrade ReviewSimon Cozens addresses a feature of human experience that is universal but is so often hidden away. He demonstrates that the experience of shame was no less real for the great Augustine of Hippo as it was for the author himself as a 16-year-old who was witnessing the breakup of his parents’ marriage. And herein lies the great value of this book: first, it reassures the reader that each individual’s inevitable experience of shame places them in community. Second, the answer lies in the model of Jesus, who lived to take away guilt and shame "because he blew up shame itself" (Simon's words). Every Christian should read this eminently readable book and should then share its wisdom with their non-Christian friends. -- Professor Peter G Riddell, Melbourne School of Theology, and SOAS University of LondonAs a clinical psychologist, I meet a lot of shame in the therapy room. Shame about body image, internet use or addictions. People who have been shamed for leaving a cult. And deep shame about who we are. This book reveals biblical insights, including how Jesus dealt with shame. Cozens also describes how communities of Christians can help to get rid of shame, and minister to the shamed. I feel no shame in highly recommending this very helpful book. -- Dr Debbie Hawker, Clinical PsychologistShame is universally debilitating and has crippled humanity since the fall. Simon Cozens' brilliant and timely book is theologically rich, culturally relevant, missionally focused and pastorally liberating. Here is hope and help for a crisis of our times. -- Revd Simon Ponsonby, Pastor of Theology at St Aldate's Church, OxfordThis is honestly one of the most thought-stirring and very possibly game-changing books that I have read recently, and I'm a prolific reader. Shame is a significant part of our lives, and Simon's book is a much-needed catalyst to bring it more openly 'to the table' for discussion, not only in the church or in how we present the gospel, but also in our own lives. You'll want to read this book several times; first to dive into the well-developed, biblically rooted truths that Simon presents, but then again, and probably again, to allow the Holy Spirit use these truths for his transforming work in your own life. -- Susan Sutton, International WEC Director and authorShame is everywhere, a powerfully emotional and painfully confusing experience that has the power to eat away at communities, our personal character and our confidence. In this powerfully liberating book, Simon Cozen not only helps us understand shame, but points us to the One who heals and restores. Well-written and timely, this book is Simon speaking from experience into a culture and context where shame is too often hidden or misunderstood. I commend it to all, including all those involved in prayer ministry, helping to bring freedom to others. -- Mitch, Co-Founder of Crown Jesus Ministries / EvangelistThis book is a landmark and original contribution for understanding how shame affects all of us. Drawing richly on his own experience, Simon Cozens weaves stories, biblical insights and thoughtful questions, to force Western readers, time and again, to have another look at the misconception that shame only affect Asian societies. Highly recommended for leaders and cross-cultural workers open to new correlations between our personal and communities’ shame and the claims of Jesus and the gospel. -- Kang-San Tan, Director, Baptist Missionary Society World MissionTable of ContentsIntroduction: Reputation ruined - what shame looks like 1 Identity, perception, judgement, and the horizontal nature of shame - case study from Genesis 2 Shame examined - what exactly is shame and how does it relate to guilt?

Canterbury Press Norwich Love, Remember: 40 poems of loss, lament and hope
Book SynopsisThe bestselling poet Malcolm Guite chooses forty poems from across the centuries that express the universal experience of loss and reflects on them in order to draw out the comfort, understanding and hope they offer. Some of the poems will be familiar, many will be new, but together they provide a sure companion for the journey across difficult terrain. Some of Malcolm’s own poetry is included, written out of his work as a priest with the dying and the bereaved and giving to the volume a powerful authenticity. The choice of forty poems is significant and reflects an ancient practice still observed in some European and Middle Eastern societies of taking extra-special care of a bereaved person in the forty days following a death – our word quarantine come from this. They explore the nature and the risk of love, the pain of letting go and look toward glimpses of resurrection.Trade Review'The most wonderful anthology of poetry I have ever come across in my life.' -- Methodist Recorder

Olympic and World champion hurdler Sydney McLaughlin wants to help you answer these questions as she shares her personal story of struggles and victories, of faith and transformation.Sydney McLaughlin knows about facing down obstacles. She has mastered not only racing over hurdles on the track but also tackling challenges in her personal life—from lifelong battles with perfectionism and anxiety to persistent questions about her identity and whether she was enough.Her pursuit of perfection and people-pleasing continued for years until God broke into her story with his overwhelming grace, transforming love, and empowering truth.In Far Beyond Gold, Sydney will share aspects of her life story and personhood she has never shared publicly before, offering a more complex picture of who she is. She will inspire you to: Trade Review'U.S. Olympian McLaughlin debuts with a soaring testimony to the faith that helped her surmount anxiety, forge a new identity in God, and win gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. After squeaking onto the 2016 Olympic track team at age 16, McLaughlin battled imposter syndrome and crippling anxiety that crested during the Rio games, leaving her without a medal and full of regret. She vowed to return to the Olympics and arrived in Tokyo fueled by a renewed faith, which had ignited by her boyfriend (and eventual husband) Andre Levrone Jr., a former NFL player she'd met in 2020. Newly aware that her 'main identity [was]. . . a daughter of God,' McLaughlin ceded what she couldn't control, maintained 'confidence that His perfect will was going to happen,' and ended up clinching two gold medals. She renders her battles with anxiety, panic attacks, and low self-esteem in candid and unadorned prose, and her uplifting message to release 'other people's expectations' and instead 'find your identity in [Jesus]' resonates. Readers won't need to be athletes to find inspiration here.' * Publishers Weekly *

John Murray Press Faith after Doubt: Why Your Beliefs Stopped
Book Synopsis'For all those who have understood that doubt and free thinking are failings of your faith, Brian's book will help you live fuller and breathe easier.' Glennon DoyleSixty-five million adults in the US have dropped out of active church attendance and about 2.7 million more are leaving every year. In the UK, surveys indicate that religious belief is also declining - and yet a surprising number of people still pray. Faith After Doubt is for all those who feel that their faith is falling apart.Using his own story and the stories of a diverse group of struggling believers, Brian D. McLaren, a former pastor and now an author, speaker, and activist shows how old assumptions are being challenged in nearly every area of human life, not just theology and spirituality. He proposes a four-stage model of faith development in which questions and doubt are not the enemy of faith, but rather a portal to a more mature and fruitful kind of faith. The four stages - simplicity, complexity, perplexity and harmony - offer a path forward that can help sincere and thoughtful people leave behind unnecessary baggage and increase their commitment to what matters most.'In this important book, my friend and colleague Brian McLaren helps you find a deeper and wiser faith that is enriched by doubt instead of threatened by it.' Fr Richard RohrTrade ReviewA gripping, honest and practical book for a Christian who is experiencing doubt... be prepared to be deeply challenged and hugely encouraged. * Christianity Magazine *This is a challenging, provocative, and, at times, uncomfortable read, but, above all, it demands action. Churches need to listen to millennials and engage with their hopes and fears.

Christian Focus Publications Ltd 2,000 Years of Christ’s Power Vol. 5: The Age of
Book SynopsisIn many ways, I confess I do not feel especially at home in the Age of Reason. My personal roots are far more among those of the Early Church. Still, I gladly admit I cannot help feeling my heart kindled as I read about the mighty deeds wrought in and through the Evangelical preachers of that age. Thoroughly researched with beautifully linked arguments, biographies, context and discussions, Needham provides a riveting text: balancing fact and understanding in the wisdom of experience. The book offers a wealth of knowledge for pastors, missionaries, students and professors as they pursue their own education into the response of Christians during the 18th century towards these shifts in the tides of the affairs of men. Covering the period bracketing the Enlightenment Nick Needham’s new volume in the 2000 Years of Christ’s Power series, covers the social, economic, political and evangelical changes across two continents.Trade ReviewAs always, Needham remains attentive to the big picture, yet he also manages to maintain a grasp of the lesser known details throughout. Especially notable is Needham’s inclusion of the Eastern and Russian Orthodox Church. Highly recommended. -- Jonathan Master (President, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, South Carolina)… helpfully delineates the variegated state of professing Christendom in this crucial era with magisterial vim and verve. Highly recommended! -- Michael A. G. Haykin (Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)As he assesses the European Enlightenment, evangelical revivals … and developments within Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy from his consistently Reformed perspective, Needham provides illuminating reading for those who share that perspective, but perhaps even more for those who do not. -- Mark A. Noll (Author of ‘America’s Book: The Rise and Decline of a Bible Civilization, 1794–1911’)These volumes should be compulsory reading, first for pastors and elders called to teach and defend the faith, but also for Christians in general who desire to deepen their knowledge of the Saviour’s power throughout the church’s history. -- Ian Hamilton (President, Westminster Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Newcastle, UK )
