When The Internet Goes Down
0$8,45The existence of pain and evil has baffled people in the world over the centuries, at various scientific, cultural, philosophical and theological levels. It is a universal dilemma which is difficult to understand. What is even more complicated when one tries to reconcile this dilemma with the holiness of God and His love, care and mercy for humans.
We may wonder: is it possible that God is pleased with the presence of evil, pain and suffering in the lives of human beings, who created them in his image? Did God create the world and abandoned it? How can we reconcile between God’s sovereignty and the spread of injustice, corruption, evil and tyranny?
This book presents a study of the Book of Habakkuk, and it is particularly important these days considering what the Arab world is passing through.

Embracing Her Potential
0$8,45The book consists of seven chapters each of which begins with a short story and real events that took place in an Arab country like Iraq, or Egypt, or Jordan, or Palestine, & each story opens the door to discussing one of many difficulties that face women in the Arab world. Although the situations might be dark but there’s still hope at the end of each chapter & an urge to look for practical solutions. The book tackles many issues related to woman, their role in the house, work & community, & being the guardian of the family honor bearing on her shoulders the responsibility of maintaining its name since birth and until her death. The book also raises the question about the status of woman & if she only fits as a painting on the wall at the man’s museum. More talk is mentioned about violence against women exploring the types of violence to make them aware of it. Finally, the book presents a proposal to the leaders of the church in the Arab world reminding them of the Christian woman who despite the distinctive status she has in the eyes of God, is still under the oppression in the church, home, and community.

Shepherding the flock
0$5,07This part is about the third word of advice Jethro offers Moses, in which he says: ‘show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave’ (Exodus 18:20). Here, Jethro is talking about the task of teaching the people of God. Teaching focuses on the practical application in daily life of that which has been preached. In the Bible, teaching always centres on practising what we preach.
In the worldwide church, this teaching is known as discipleship. How can we live our lives as disciples of Jesus? How can we grow in following Christ? What does it mean to be a child of the Father? These things require knowledge of what the faith is really all about, and instruction as to how to put this knowledge into practice day by day. Discipleship combines our creed with our conduct; it deals with what we believe and what we do. That is what this part of the Pastors’ Manual is all about: what do you teach your people in order to help them grow as disciples of Jesus. You can present the many questions in this section to your congregation when you teach them these lessons and you can also use them to go deeper into these lessons yourself.

Organizing the Church
0$5,07Wherever people come to faith, they begin to meet together and form a faith community. This began with the first Christians who came to faith on the Day of Pentecost. They came together in each other’s homes not only to receive teaching from the Scriptures and to pray, but also “to fellowship”(Acts 2:42). A few verses after this, we read that “All the believers were together and had everything in common” (verse 44). Believing is not something you do alone. The moment you come to faith in Jesus, you become a part of his body, a member of a very large, worldwide family. This family includes young and old, men and women, black and white, rich and poor. All these completely different people are bound together by the fact that each one has responded to Jesus’ voice, received the same invitation from God, and said ‘yes’. Each person who comes to faith gives his life to God and God then gives us to one another in order for us to follow and obey Jesus together and serve one another. These two aspects of Christianity are the pillars on which every congregation of Christ rests: honouring God and serving one’s neighbour.

Prayer
0$15,21Christians are taught that prayer is the main way to experience God. But aside from learning prayers by rote, few receive guidance in how to make the most of this essential Christian act. In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller shows us how to make prayer genuinely meaningful.
With his trademark insight and energy, Keller offers brilliant and inspirational biblical guidance, as well as prayers for specific situations, such as dealing with grief, love, and forgiveness. Using great model prayers from the Bible and great Christian teachers throughout history, he discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader.

Man Myth Messiah
0$15,21The search for the historical Jesus continues to be headline news. Any speculative theory seems to get instant attention as the debate rages about His real identity and the claims made in His name. Did Jesus really exist? Is there real historical evidence that demonstrates that He lived and actually said and did the things the Gospels record? Is there any validity to the speculative claims that the Jesus story was a myth, borrowed from a variety of pagan cultures of the ancient world?
In this follow-up to the book God’s Not Dead (that inspired the movie), Man, Myth, Messiah looks at the evidence for the historical Jesus and exposes the notions of skeptics that Jesus was a contrived figure of ancient mythology. It also looks at the reliability of the Gospel records as well as the evidence for the resurrection that validates His identity as the promised Messiah. Man, Myth, Messiah will be released concurrent to the God’s Not Dead movie sequel, which will cover the same theme.

The Listening Life
0$11,83
Christianity Today’s 2017 Book of the Year Award – Spiritual Formation Logos Association Bookstore Award.
“Be quick to listen, slow to speak.” ―James 1:19
How would our lives change if we approached every experience with the intention of listening first? In this noisy, distracting world, it is difficult to truly hear. People talk past each other, eager to be heard but somehow deaf to what is being said. Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships, both with God and with other people. But it is more than that: listening is a way of life.
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality, our relationships and our mission in the world. God himself is the God who hears, and we too can learn to hear what God may be saying through creation, through Scripture, through people. By applying a posture of listening, we become more attentive and engaged with those around us.
Listening shapes us and equips us to be more attuned to people in pain and more able to minister to those in distress. Our lives are qualitatively different―indeed, better―when we become listeners. Heed the call to the listening life, and hear what God is doing in you and the world.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality
0$11,83Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can’t be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do:
· Avoid conflict in the name of Christianity
· Ignore his anger, sadness, and fear
· Use God to run from God
· Live without boundaries
Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health, a relationship with Jesus, and the classic practices of contemplative spirituality. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution, utterly transforming him and his church.
In this book Scazzero outlines his journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality. Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested ways to break through to the revolutionary life Christ meant for you.
“The combination of emotional health and contemplative spirituality,” he says, “unleashes the Holy Spirit inside us so that we might experientially
know the power of an authentic life in Christ.”
