Read the Spirit Books Thirty Days with E. Stanley Jones: Global
Book SynopsisDoes a preacher from the previous century have anything to say to this generation? Yes! His clarion call to justice and loving community was shaped by his friendship with Mahatma Gandhi and influenced the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In one of his famous appeals, Jones wrote: "Let us go out to stimulate everybody and throw open the doors of equal opportunity to every single person. We must galvanize beaten down people with a faith in God, in themselves and in the future. ... And this faith in humanity would apply to people outside our own borders."In his day, E. Stanley Jones (1884-1973) was described as the "greatest missionary since Saint Paul." More than an evangelist, he was the author of 27 books that sold millions of copies. He also was a statesman, the founder of Christian ashrams, an interfaith leader as well as a spokesman for peace, racial inclusion and social justice. He was a confidant of presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman. Twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, his ministry in India brought him into close contact with that country''s leaders including Jawaharlal Nehru, Rabindranath Tagore, and Mahatma Gandhi. His writings from India influenced Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.''s own nonviolent approach to injustice.The crystal clarity and the warm hospitality of Jones'' Christian message formed working relationships with leaders of other world religions and often startled his own American evangelical colleagues, especially when he prophetically condemned racism as "spiritual treason against God."As challenging as his preaching sometimes was in confronting injustice, Jones was best known for inspirational Christian messages of hope and refreshment for the millions of people from every walk of life who he addressed either in person or through his writings.Now, a widespread movement is reviving Jones'' spiritual wisdom in the midst of global tensions over faith, ethnicity and race. The Rev. Dr. John E. Harnish, himself a noted Christian educator, writer and pastor, has written 30 short, inspiring true stories from Jones'' life and the people that he touched, that illustrate the timeless, loving wisdom that he believed lay at the core of Christianity.The stories can be read as daily devotionals or could be discussed with friends or within small groups, Sunday schools and congregations. The book includes a complete discussion guide as well as links to introductory videos by Harnish that can be used to spark discussion in your group.In his introduction to these 30 stories, Harnish writes, "From Jones'' life and work, we can hear a word which is as relevant today as it was 75 years ago. In a day when tensions between races and religions are on the rise globally and the message of the Christian faith seems to be either weak or aligned with a political agenda, the voice of a true World Christian needs to be heard once again."

Christian Focus Publications Ltd The Smile of Thy Love: A Collection of Quotes
Book SynopsisThis curated collection of material from Andrew Bonar is an ideal introduction to his work. Andrew Bonar was a nineteenth century Scottish minister who participated in many of the important ecclesiastical changes that happened between 1840 and 1890. He was a much–loved and highly admired man within the Scottish evangelical church. His words still challenge and encourage the Christian reader today. This short book includes a variety of material by and about Andrew Bonar, including: – a brief biography – a selection of his sayings – a pastoral letter to his congregation in Collace that he wrote from the Holy Land while on a visit there – a magazine article about visiting the sick – a sermon he preached on the love of the FatherTrade ReviewToday we need more Christians—and especially more pastors—whose love for God’s people flows out of their love for God himself. We need men with spiritual roots that deepen as they progress in their service to Christ. Andrew Bonar exemplified this. As God used him more widely, Bonar’s private devotion seems to have gone deeper. This brief biographical sketch, pastoral letter, and collection of quotes, introduces readers to a pastor who loved and cared for Christ’s church while drawing from a deep spiritual well of God’s love in Christ. -- Jonathan Master (President, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, South Carolina)… a lovely window onto 19th–century evangelical piety. Reading it will fuel your desire for holiness and your passion for the lost – all with the bonus of an excellent chapter on visiting the sick. -- Tim Chester (Author and senior faculty member, Crosslands Training)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Bless–ed: 52 Weekly Blessings You Have as a
Book Synopsis In 52 short chapters, Bless–ed shows us the gifts God has given us, and how we can share them with our friends When we think about blessings, we often think about material gifts that God has provided. These are indeed things to be grateful for, but these are things that God has given to all people – what are the additional blessings we receive because we are his? Have you given thought to the knowledge that you have a forgiven past, a promising present and a certain, glorious future? Have you thanked God for giving you a proper view of health, balanced emotions and a fearless intellectual life? With one chapter for every week of the year, Larry Dixon looks at a different blessing that we have in our Christian life. He explains the blessing, gives Bible passages to examine, encourages us to take action with three action points, and also provides a guide for praying for unsaved friends to also know this blessing. Trade ReviewThis book will give you joy in your faith and, at the same time, give you a passion to see others get the t–shirt and to join you in the dance. -- Steve Brown (Founder and Bible Teacher, Key Life Network, author, ‘Laughter and Lament: The Radical Freedom of Joy and Sorrow’)Larry’s writing is both doctrinal and practical; it’s convicting and encouraging. If you’re like me, you won’t be able to wait and read only one chapter per week; you’ll want to read the whole book much more quickly than that because of its edifying and equipping contents. -- George W. Murray (Former President & Chancellor of Columbia International University, Columbia, South Carolina)Using profound quotes, gentle humor, extensive biblical passages, along with recommended readings and suggestions for prayer, these readings will not only be a strong reminder of what we have, but if lived out will make your Christianity contagious to those without Christ. -- Allan McKechnie (Professor Emeritus Columbia International University, Columbia, South Carolina)Here is good book to use for devotions that will stimulate the head, heart, and hands and feet! -- Robert A. Peterson (Theologian, editor, and co–author, ‘Jesus In Prophecy: How Christ’s Life Fulfills Biblical Predictions’)The readings are short, which is great for people like me with a short attention span. However, the content is theologically rich. Prepare to be Bless–ed! -- Jeff Philpott (Sandhills Community Church, Columbia, South Carolina)This book is very helpful for Christians who like to please God in their daily activities – especially for those who have the burden to reach their lost friends. -- Mulugeta Ashagre Endeshaw (East African Director of T–NET International, Former General Secretary, Ethiopian Christian Brethren Church)Filled with many little anecdotes, Larry’s writings constantly refer to the text of scripture as a basis for the many blessings. Larry’s book is based on sound biblical principles and careful use of the text of scripture. -- Philip Boom (President of Emmaus Bible College, Dubuque, Iowa)

Church Publishing Inc Hearts Ablaze: Parables for the Queer Soul
Book SynopsisMeditations addressing the spiritual needs of queer Christians. A new look at ten selected parables of Jesus, that expands the scope of interpretation of each story to highlight God's extravagant welcome of all people. The perspective in the reflections is deeply personal and written to be used by both individuals and groups. Queer affirming churches, seminaries, and retreat centers will benefit from this resource as they continue to champion the flourishing of their queer siblings in Christ. Trade Review"By looking at the parables with a queer eye, Hearts Ablaze finds the rainbow light in the liberating stories told by Jesus. . . . “Parables are like pride flags,” writes author Rolf Nolasco. These insightful queer reflections on the parables—or “queerables”—will help today’s readers see the full spectrum of God’s love."—The Rev. Kittredge Cherry, author of The Passion of Christ: A Gay Vision"In this beautifully written book Rolf Nolasco invites us—queer and non-queer alike—to “lean into the gentle invitation of Jesus to discern a response befitting our identity as God’s beloved queers.” With the deep sensitivity of a pastor’s heart and drawing upon his own lived experience as a queer person of color, Professor Nolasco breaks open the Word of God through a truly fresh – and genuinely faith-filled – reading of these ten parables of Jesus. Join the author in queering stories that lie at the heart of the Christian journey, and you may find that your own heart comes ablaze with a new appreciation for the movement of the Divine in your life!"—Bernard Schlager, Associate Professor of Historical & Cultural Studies, Pacific School of Religion, and Executive Director, The Center for LGBTQ and Gender Studies in Religion"Rolf Nolasco’s book departs from the usual queer-affirming biblical apologetics and polemics that stereotypically rail against anachronistic readings and offer facile alternative interpretations. Instead, Hearts Ablaze: Parables for the Queer Soul frames and interprets biblical wisdom from a diverse range of queer perspectives. In his reading and interpretation of the parables of Jesus from his location as a queer person of color, Nolasco boldly incorporates a wide array of personal insights, theological traditions and the narratives of queer Christians who share on their experiences of God’s unequivocal love. The upshot is a book which not only upends biblical queerphobia, but one that allows LGBTIQ people to see themselves in the scriptures in positive, relevant, affirming and empowering ways, and can gently accompany them to a realization that they are cherished and appreciated by God as they are."—Joseph N. Goh, Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies, Monash University MalaysiaTable of ContentsIntroduction Queer Eye for the Parables of JesusChapter 1 TLC: The Parable of the Good ShepherdChapter 2 Don’t Forget to RSVP: The Parable of the Great BanquetChapter 3 The Queerdom of God: The Parable of the Mustard SeedChapter 4 Queer Joy: The Parable of the Hidden TreasureChapter 5 Q-Connections: The Parable of the SowerChapter 6 Queer Bodies: The Parable of the WineskinsChapter 7 Queer Father: The Parable of the Prodigal SonChapter 8 Neighborly Love: The Parable of the Good SamaritanChapter 9 Queers Got Talent: The Parable of the TalentsChapter 10 Queer Christ: The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Day By Day With J.C. Ryle: A New daily devotional
Book Synopsis J.C. Ryle has become one of the most loved of British authors on church matters. He was the first Bishop of Liverpool, managing to establish a thriving diocese in that most sectarian of English cities. Although a convinced evangelical he was regarded as fairminded by those who disagreed with him. Even Ryle’s opponents in church politics wept when he died. His books have remained in print for a hundred years because Ryle was able to touch the person in the street with clear teaching on doctrinal matters. He showed how the Bible was relevant. His writings thus lend themselves to a devotional format and here is a new selection different to any that have gone before. Here Eric Russell has arranged writings according to themes that develop the reader’s understanding on a topic before moving on to new pastures. It is as refreshing as it is profound. Trade ReviewThis selection of Daily Readings taken from all four of Ryle's expository thoughts on the Gospel, is superb. Profound yet plain, it is calculated to nourish the souls of all who will read and meditate on its precious contents. -- Peace and Truth

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Daily Readings – William Wilberforce
Book SynopsisWilliam Wilberforce is probably best known as the leader of the parliamentary campaign for the abolition of the slave trade in the United Kingdom. But behind his heart for justice lay a commitment and desire to serve God that permeated not only his life, but also his writings. Michael D. McMullen has worked extensively on the life and manuscripts of Wilberforce and has carefully selected these daily readings to help readers not only know the man better, but also to point their eyes to the God whom he served. Taken from his spiritual journals and his one published book, as well as his unpublished works, letters and recorded reflections on scriptures, we meet in these writings a man who is introspective and self–deprecating, believing he fell far short of the standards expected of a Christian. But his devotion and love for the God who called him to be an ‘Agent of Usefulness’ is abundantly clear. These words that he wrote to challenge and encourage himself will do the same for a new generation of readers.Trade ReviewWilliam Wilberforce is known as the leader of the Evangelicals in parliament who were responsible for the abolition of the British slave trade. Blessed with a sunny personality, he was also a genuinely humble man who laid out his inner thoughts in written musings on his faith. Michael McMullen has selected some of the best of them as daily readings. Each extract is given under a verse from scripture, the source of his reflections. -- David Bebbington (Professor of History, University of Stirling, Stirling)What a wonderful addition to Kevin Belmonte’s fine books! I can’t recommend his work highly enough. -- Michael D. McMullenWe can benefit greatly from taking unhurried time to reflect on these daily extracts. May our desire be as Wilberforce’s expressed in this book: ‘I would grow in grace, and labour to live a life more honourable to God and more useful to man.’ -- Marylynn Rouse (Director, John Newton Project)What a wonderful opportunity we now have daily to be getting to know Wilberforce through his letters and writings… I am grateful to Professor McMullen for this service to the church. -- Ben Virgo (Director, Christian Heritage London)What a gem this is and what thanks we owe Prof McMullen for his fine editorial skills. -- Michael A. G. Haykin (Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)Michael McMullen has done us a huge favour in making Wilberforce’s devotional reflections into a devotional source for us all. William Wilberforce was a man who had a real faith in Jesus that worked itself out in all of life. I pray these daily readings may inspire that same integrated faith in us all. -- Jago Wynne (Rector of Holy Trinity Clapham, London)

The language of human love is intended to evoke an experience of divine love and inspire in us a response of love. It channels our desires to their true end, our Creator and Redeemer. In this 90–day undated devotional Tim Chester has curated a selection of writings from classic authors such as Gregory the Great, Richard Sibbes, Hudson Taylor, Charles Spurgeon, and many others, that will help readers to know Christ’s love better. Spend 90 days in the company of these heroes of the faith and pin your affection on the one who is their Bridegroom and yours.

Chester has included a thought–provoking question with each reading to help you apply it to your own heart.Trade ReviewThis book takes us back to the beautiful and tender tradition of the classical, christological interpretation, which makes the modern interpretation seem shallow and boring. Highly recommended! -- Craig Carter (Professor of Theology, Tyndale University, Toronto, Ontario)… Tim delves into the writings of Gregory of Nyssa and Charles Spurgeon, Martin Luther and J. C. Ryle, Ambrose and Matthew Henry, as well as many others, to help us think about Solomon’s most famous Song with the cloud of witnesses who have gone before us.

Chase (Preaching Pastor, Kosmosdale Baptist Church, Louisville, Kentucky and author, ‘Short of Glory’)Tim Chester has compiled a treasure trove of writings on the ‘most biblical’ of all the books in Scripture, so called because of what it is ultimately about: God’s love for his people; Christ’s love for the church; the love of the saved for the savior. -- Kevin J. Vanhoozer (Research Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois)This collection contains some genuine Gospel gold.

Book SynopsisMany Christians think about heaven as a distant place we go after we die. But what if it's a very real kingdom available to us right now, here on earth? In What If Jesus Was Serious about Heaven?, Skye Jethani unpacks what Jesus really said about heaven and how it can transform our faith today. The fourth in Jethani's popular What If Jesus Was Serious? series, this guide includes the author's hand-drawn illustrations in each chapter. Jethani explores the importance of the kingdom of heaven in Jesus's ministry, message, and parables.
