Radical: Unabridged Audiobook on CD

By David Platt / christianaudio

In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple-then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus.

Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment-a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Unabridged audio CD; approximately 6 hours; 5 CDs.

Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God

2010-12-18T21:37:00.001-05:00

Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God

By John Piper / Crossway Books & Bibles

In Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God John piper shows us the intricate continuity between the Christian faith and intellectual development. Focusing on the life of the mind helps us to know God better, love him more, and care for the world around us in thoughtful ways.

While we must value the experiential an emotional elements of our faith, the intellectual aspects are far too often neglected and as Piper says in this book, we also need to practice careful thinking about God. Piper contends that "thinking is indispensable on the path to passion for God." So how are we to maintain a healthy balance of mind and heart, thinking and feeling?

Piper urges us to think for the glory of God. He demonstrates from Scripture that glorifying God with our minds and hearts is not either-or, but both-and. Thinking carefully about God fuels passion and affections for God. Likewise, Christ-exalting emotion leads to disciplined thinking.

Countdown to Sunday: A Daily Guide for Those Who Dare to Preach

By Chris Erdman / Brazos Press

From his 20 years of experience, pastor and preaching professor Chris Erdman, has created a preacher's daily devotional---a collection of imminently practical and yet inspirational insights into what it takes to be a preaching pastor, and what it takes perform this task weekly, with grace and wisdom.

As a pastor who also teaches preaching to seminary students, Chris Erdman finds his students are most energized when he relays lessons learned from his daily work of preaching. In Countdown to Sunday, Erdman shares these lessons, which he has gathered over twenty years.

Erdman persisted through times when preparing his weekly sermon left him frustrated and uptight, and found a new way that has changed his life. He breaks down his methods of preparation and delivery from Monday through Sunday into short chapters that are accessible to busy pastors. Believing that preaching is something that grows out of ongoing prayer and study of the scriptures, Erdman shows not only how sermons evolve gradually but also how preachers can learn to preach "on the run" when they must.

With practical advice and insight, Erdman also covers preaching for weddings and funerals, around the time of elections and wars, on the street, and in the hospital. The result is an invaluable guide that will become a daily companion for preachers and a useful tool for seminary students.

I Still Believe: How Listening to Christianity from Critics Strengthens Faith

2010-09-11T22:39:00.000-04:00

I Still Believe: How Listening to Christianity's Critics Strengthens Faith

By Kurt Bruner / Zondervan

A strong faith should not accept easy answers. Hiding from challenges to our beliefs can even cause our own doubts to linger. But, surprisingly, facing Christianity's critics can actually strengthen our faith, moving us further up the continuum of belief. This book gives us a chance to listen to unbelievers - from the disillusioned to the seeker, from the heckler to the rebel. Here, Kurt Bruner accurately records their doubts as they describe what makes the faith we love so hard for them to accept. In the process, he discovers that their disbelief helps answer nagging questions about unbelieving loved ones. And, surprisingly, calms our own doubts and fears so that, in the end, despite their best arguments - we can more confidently declare, I Still Believe.

Bible Doctrine

2009-12-30T19:30:00.001-05:00

Bible Doctrine

By Wayne Grudem / Zondervan

How do we know the Bible is God's Word? What is sin and where did it come from? How is Jesus fully God and fully man? What are spiritual gifts? When and how will Christ return? If you've asked questions like these, then "systematic theology" is no abstract term. It's an approach to finding answers every Christian needs to know.

Abridged from Grudem's Systematic Theology and made accessible to the average reader, Bible Doctrine covers the same essentials of the faith, giving you a firm grasp on seven key topics:

The Doctrine of the Word of God
The Doctrine of God
The Doctrine of Man
The Doctrine of Christ
The Doctrine of the Application of Redemption
The Doctrine of the Church
The Doctrine of the Future

Like Systematic Theology, this book is marked by its clarity, its strong scriptural emphasis, its thoroughness in scope and detail, and its treatment of such timely topics as spiritual warfare and the gifts of the Spirit. But you don't need to have had several years of Bible school to reap the full benefits of Bible Doctrine. It's easy to understand---and it's packed with solid, biblical answers to your most important questions.

Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine

2009-12-30T19:26:00.001-05:00

Systematic Theology

By Wayne Grudem / Zondervan

The Christian church has a long tradition of systematic theology, that is, studying theology and doctrine organized around fairly standard categories such as the Word of God, redemption, and Jesus Christ. This introductory textbook on systematic theology has several distinctive features:

A strong emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine and teaching
Clear writing, with technical terms kept to a minimum
A contemporary approach, treating subjects of special interest to the church today
A friendly tone, appealing to the emotions and the spirit as well as the intellect
Frequent application to life
Resources for worship with each chapter
Bibliographies with each chapter that cross-reference subjects to a wide range of other systematic theologies

The End Times Made Simple

2009-12-30T19:22:00.002-05:00

The End Times Made Simple: How Could Everybody Be So Wrong About Biblical Prophecy?

By Samuel E. Waldron / Calvary Press

Rapture? Pre-Trib? Post-Trib? Millenium? Confused? You should be! In today's Evangelical Christian world, eschatology--or the study of the "last things"--has been turned into a sort of pseudo-science with a plethora of authors claiming to know exactly the scenario of events that are to take place just prior to the Lord Jesus Christ's return. Samuel Waldron's thesis is that there is This Age, and The Age to Come..we will be, or are, in either one or the other. Any "End Times" system that forms a hybrid of these two, or contradicts this simple formula, is unbiblical, and should be rejected.

Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life

So if you'd like to embark on a lifelong quest for godliness, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life will help you on your way. Based on the rich heritage left us by the early church fathers, the Puritan writers, and Jesus Christ Himself, Whitney takes you through a carefully selected array of disciplines that includes Scripture reading, prayer, worship, Scripture meditation, evangelism, serving, stewardship, Scripture application, fasting, silence and solitude, journaling, and learning.

Invitation to Biblical Preaching: Proclaiming Truth with Clarity and Relevance

By Donald R. Sunukjian / Kregel Publications

Simply stated, Talbot preaching professor, Don Sunukjian, defines the "biblical preacher" as someone who declares from the pulpit, "Look, at what God is saying..to us". By this he means: 1) that the true and exact meaning of the text must be explained, and 2) that it must be communicated in a way that is applicable to the listener here and now. Following this 2-part outline, Dr. Sunukjian guides the reader from text to finished sermon.

You will find a step-by-step guide to preparing and presenting a biblical message---from studying a passage with skill and integrity to delivering a sermon with persuasion, accuracy, passion, and relevance. His conversational style and use of illustrations to clarify concepts make the learning process memorable for beginners and mature ministers. 384 pages, hardcover from Kregel.

Spirit-Led Preaching: The Holy Spirit's Role in Sermon Preparation and Delivery

Spirit-Led Preaching: The Holy Spirit's Role in Sermon Preparation and Delivery

By Greg Heisler / B & H Publishing Group

Preaching Professor Greg Heisler believes that the resurgence in expository preaching will not be complete until the role of the Holy Spirit receives the same emphasis as the text of Scripture. Without that balance, exposition will lack freshness and sustenance. Spirit-Led Preaching moves the role of the Holy Spirit from simply working behind the scenes in sermon preparation, to the forefront where His role can be more clearly understood and depended upon.

Dr. Greg Heisler earned a Ph D from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and has served as a senior pastor at churches in Kentucky and Florida.

Jesus Christ: The Prince of Preachers: Learning from the Teaching Ministry of Jesus

By Mike Abendroth / Day One Publications

Since preaching is God's ordained means of disseminating truth, it is vital that Bible teachers preach well and congregations to listen well. This study of Jesus Christ's preaching will assist both the preacher and the congregation in their quests to honor the Lord with their respective responsibilities in worship.

While there are many definitions and descriptions of preaching today, preaching like Jesus must be the unchanging standard for all who dare teach the Bible. Preaching fads come and go, yet the manner and method of the Lord's preaching is always relevant, right and worthy to be emulated.
