New commentary on the Old Testament prophetic book

John Stott believes that the Thessalonian letters offer us a model for Christian ministry, a vision for the local church, and an affirmation of the foundation facts of our faith.

Understanding and confronting issues of division, and developing a greater desire to develop and maintain biblical Christian unity

Andrew Steinmann's thorough exegetical commentary includes a reconstructed timeline of events from Abraham's life through to the death of Joseph.

When we strip away what is superficial, cultural or traditional, what is the essence of genuine Christianity? John's letters focus on the three most important aspects of the Christian life and help us focus our attention on what really matters.

The author argues that if Christians still believe they have have good news in the sphere of sexual ethics, then we must work out what has gone badly wrong, and offer a better story, one that fires the imagination with such force that people will say, 'I want that to be true.'

A guided book precisely for those who are not as familiar or comfortable with the Old Testament, helping you to comprehend more through six key themes.

Jesus sends us into the world just as God the Father sent him - and yet Christians continue to disagree on what this involves.Some believe that the focus of Christian mission is evangelizing and 'saving souls'. Others emphasize global justice issues or relief and development work.Is either view correct on its own?John Stott's classic volume, first published forty years ago, presents an enduring view of Christian mission that is just as needed today. Newly updated and expanded by Christopher J. H. Wright, Christian Mission in the Modern World provides a biblically based approach to mission that addresses both spiritual and physical needs.With his trademark clarity and conviction, Stott illuminates how the Great Commission itself not only assumes the proclamation that makes disciples, but also teaches obedience to the Great Commandment of love and service. Wright has expertly updated the original book and demonstrates the continuing relevance of Stott's prescient thinking. This balanced approach to mission encourages current and future Christians to embrace an unconflicted and holistic model of ministry.

We have such a problem with our boys,' ..is a common refrain in many churches. The probability, though, is that boys are not actually the problem, rather our attitude to them; our ideas of what a boy really is and what he needs in order to connect with God. Over the last few years, boys have been perceived to have been under-achieving at school, a problem in our society, and disengaged from our churches. It is Carolyn Edwards' heartfelt conviction that this is because we are not meeting boys' spiritual needs. Her experience is that boys are willing to engage in the struggle to make themselves heard and seen as they really are: full of energy, fun, feeling and spirituality. In this intensely creative and practical book, Carolyn provides ten ways that boys would willingly connect with God, given the opportunity. Prompts and practical ideas help readers apply her findings to the boys they know and work with.
