From compact narrative commentaries to books on Christian living, each one offers a pocket of wisdom for our journey of faith.
By John Stott
John Stott is well known worldwide for the commitment he had to the Bible, both in his preaching and in his living. In this book, Stott concisely demonstrates the power, authority and relevance of the Bible for every Christian – in every culture and generation. What is the purpose of God’s Word? How does it point us to Christ? What is its relationship to the Holy Spirit? How does it shape the church? And what does it mean for Christian discipleship? The author answers these questions with simplicity and clarity, urging us to hear and obey God’s Word in today’s world.
This narrative commentary explores Paul’s letter to the Galatians by placing it in the larger context of Paul’s life and ministry. Combining cultural and archeological research, Rev. Dr. Johannes W. H. van der Bijl draws together details from the book of Acts and the Pauline Epistles to offer us a unique glimpse into the real-life issues facing Paul, Barnabas, and the first-century church. By presenting Paul as a tangible, flesh and blood human, readers will better understand the message of Galatians – that there is unity and freedom to be had in Christ.
In the last sermon he ever preached, John Stott echoed the Apostle Paul when he said that God’s greatest desire and plan for us is to become like his Son, Jesus Christ. Chris Wright, a close friend of John Stott, reflects on all nine qualities that the Apostle Paul includes in the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians. He shows how they are rooted in the character of God, first revealed in the Old Testament, and modelled and taught by Jesus. With applications to encourage biblical growth with depth, and questions at the end of each chapter, this is an ideal resource for preachers, study groups and personal reflection.
Chris Wright, in conversation with James Cousins, challenges Christians to recognize that the problem of insufficient funding does not belong to those experiencing the shortfall but to those entrusted by God with the means to alleviate it. Combining John Stott’s The Grace of Giving and Chris Wright’s The Gift of Accountability, two classics on generosity and financial integrity, along with a brand new reflection, this book encourages readers to think critically about the problem itself.
Human beings are complex. For all our contemporary knowledge and ability, however wonderful and widely available, people around the world face a crisis of human identity that calls into question the meaning of existence and the basis of moral behaviour. Responding to these challenges, Joe Kapolyo recognizes both the authority of the Bible, which teaches that people are created in the image of God but also corrupted by rebellion and sin, and the relevance of distinctly African perspectives on what it means to be human.
