The church is capitulating to a business organizational ethos and to entanglements with cultural and political movements. By surrendering its grasp of the biblical evangel it has left the people without clear directives for life and belief.

What are the marks of a supernaturally changed heart? This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He s not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep rooted, life altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to make it , the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self forgetfulness. In this short and punchy book, best selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self condemnation. A truly gospel humble person is not a self hating person or a self loving person, but a self forgetful person. This freedom can be yours...

"Society has virtually lost touch with the Creator's design for human sexuality. The book of Genesis-the biblical book of beginnings-supplies the kind of healthy understanding of sex needed today. One of the fullest treatments of the subject of sex found anywhere, Genesis describes over twenty varieties of sexual relationships. Old testament scholar O. Palmer Robertson draws from Genesis vital information on romance, the love-triangle, singleness, divorce, unrequited love, adultery, rape, and other matters related to human sexuality" -- BACK COVER.

Discipleship, says veteran missionary Rose Dowsett, cannot be divorced from mission. We have been born into a worldwide family and given both global privileges and responsibilities. The Great Commission must be the central element of the Christian life. This book is divided into three major sections, beginning with a look at the Great Commission itself and then tracing how the Commission has been enacted over the centuries since Jesus issued it to His followers. The book concludes with an examination of the many challenges facing modern missions including political, theological, social, and economic.

Henry Drummond was a Scottish evangelical writer and lecturer. This volume contains, in addition to the address "Love: The Greatest Thing in the World", a number of other addresses which will bring help and blessing to many. In the words of D.L. Moody, "I was staying with a party of friends in a country house during my visit to England in 1884. On Sunday evening as we sat around the fire, they asked me to read and expound some portion of Scripture. Being tired after the services of the day, I told them to ask Henry Drummond, who was one of the party. After some urging he drew a small Testament from his hip pocket, opened it at the 13th chapter of I Corinthians, and began to speak on the subject of Love. It seemed to me that I had never heard anything so beautiful, and I determined not to rest until I brought Henry Drummond to Northfield to deliver that address. Since then I have requested the principals of my schools to have it read before the students every year. The one great need in our Christian life is love, more love to God and to each other. Would that we could all move into that Love chapter, and live there."

Too many discipleship books are written for clean, perfect people who know all the right Sunday school answers. The Imperfect Disciple is for the rest of us--people who screw up, people who are weary, people who are wondering if it's safe to say what they're really thinking. For the believer who is tired of quasi-spiritual lifehacks being passed off as true, down-and-dirty discipleship, here is a discipleship book that isn't afraid to be honest about the mess we call real life. With incisive wit, warm humor, and moving stories, Jared Wilson shows readers how the gospel works in them and in their lives when - they can't get their act together - they think God is giving them the silent treatment - they think church would be better without all the people - they're not happy with the person in the mirror - and much more Wilson frees readers from the self-doubt and even the misplaced self-confidence they may feel as they walk with Jesus down the often difficult road of life. The result is a faith that weathers storms, lifts burdens, and goes forth to make more imperfect disciples.
