At its core, God’s message about the saving power of Christ and our ability to have a relationship with our creator is simplicity in itself. Yet over the generations, the church has built up a dense and complex lexicon of words and phrases we now use to discuss the Bible and other spiritual issues. Anointed...hedges of protection...washed in the blood of the Lamb...communion...sanctification… These are just a few that long-term Christians find totally familiar, but can be baffling to others. It can be daunting for new believers or those seeking the truth to be confronted by a bunch of overly complicated jargon or theological context. What good is the gospel message if it requires flipping through dictionaries or a thesaurus just to understand what’s being said? Dr. Kenneth C. Barker has drawn on decades of academic teaching and spiritual leadership to go back to the roots of the gospel and convey God’s Word in a clear, concise manner, erasing any confusion or double-talk that might keep Scripture from finding fertile ground in a person’s mind and heart.

How Can We Abide in Christ?We often think of our Christian journey as a private, personal walk with the Lord-not something to be discussed vulnerably and openly with fellow Christians. However, when we don't share our walk with other believers, it can become stagnant and can even leave us feeling lonely.Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." This is a clear message to followers of Christ: You were not created to embark on this journey of faith alone.What would your walk with the Lord look like if you allowed yourself to be completely transparent with other women of faith? What if you let them past the superficial conversations about your families and your children and began pouring into each other's lives on a spiritual level?Join Faith Miller as she guides the reader through 30 devotionals, created to spur discussion among female believers, strengthen and deepen relationships, and develop meaningful mentorships.

180 days-that's the critical time every pastor has to establish their role in a new church position. That first six months can make an enormous difference and give them a powerful foundation to impact the Kingdom of God in a positive way, or it can present them with growing challenges that linger for years to come.Pastor Charles Stone draws on 40 years of ministry service to present an easy-to-read guide for new and seasoned pastors alike who want to make the most of those first 180 days.

Evangelism is one of the important pillars of the Christian faith. The Great Commission--outlined in Matthew 28:19, implores us to "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." It's easy to think that this doesn't apply to us in our everyday lives, or that this command is reserved for missionaries and pastors.The truth is that all believers are called to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Intentional, personal evangelism doesn't mean we have to travel overseas or to a foreign country to further God's kingdom. In fact, we can engage in evangelism in our own neighborhoods, communities, and cities.Join author Pastor Mackenzie Kambizi as he guides you through 14 Bible studies and prayer on how to multiply the impact and witness of the gospel through intentional, personal evangelism.

Which Jesus is the true Jesus? The one found in Judaism? In Christianity? In Islam? Which version did God invest Himself into, forming the fully divine, fully human Jesus whose sacrifice and resurrection provided salvation for the world? To this day, people question the person and nature of Jesus. Was he merely a man? Could he have been a prophet? Or might he have been, as he claimed, the very Son of God? Did he teach just as a wise rabbi, or did he fulfill all the Jewish prophets as their Messiah?Dr. Joslyn Angus tackles the identity of Jesus Christ from all these angles and more diverse perspectives, digging for answers that have been sought for centuries. Rooting his search in the mutual history of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, he applies scientific and theological rigor to unravel the facts, helping readers grasp the eternal Yahweh and how Christ's identity plays an essential role in the life of every living person to this day.
