Baker, Ph.D. Co-founder and Executive Chairman of the Board, Iris Global"The joy of knowing Jesus and the privilege that we have to share the good news with others at times is breathtaking. "Discovering the Joy" by Andrew Chalmers will point you to the source of all true Joy and that is Jesus.

Download or read book Impossible Commands written by Jonty Allcock and published by The Good Book Company. This book was released on 2019-06-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how obeying Jesus can be both possible and joyful. Rejoice always. "Don't be afraid." "Give cheerfully." What do we do when God's commands sound impossible? Most of us find opt-outs and excuses, or pretend we're doing better than we are. Author Jonty Allcock calls this "the madness of our lives" and "the slavery of the impossible". There is a better way. What if obedience could be a life-giving joy rather than a job, a delight instead of a duty? In this book, Jonty shows us that by facing up to the impossible commands of Jesus, we come to the end of our own will and determination, and end up at Jesus' feet. We find ourselves in the hands of a God who can do all things. Where we fail to obey, there is grace. Where we succeed in obeying, there we find the miracle of the Spirit active within us. This book takes us through four steps - I can't, I'm sorry, please help and let's go - that will help us look to ourselves less and depend on God more, enabling a spirit-led joyful obedience.

Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

Book excerpt: Discover the Unbridled Joy in Obedience to God If you're ready to change your situation--to begin truly living your life richly, successfully, and spiritually--then you need to obey God's word. Sound easy? Try again. Many Christians go through the motions of faith without truly understanding the concept of obedience. Finally, this easy-to-understand book explains completely and frankly what it means to give yourself over to God and His word. You'll learn: - How to sort out your priorities among God, government, family and others. - The incredible meaning behind the miracles of the Bible--from the axe head to the ten healed lepers--and what they have to teach us about relying on God. - How to be a "doer" of the Word and not merely a passive reader. - The consequences of failing to heed the call for obedience. Filled with important biblical scripture and insightful analysis to match, this book--when used correctly--functions as a tune-up for our earthly life. Taking the message of obedience to heart is guaranteed to change your situation--whatever it is--for the good. As the Bible advises us, obedience is a duty commanded by God: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God and keep his commandment: for this is the whole duty of man" (Ecclesiastes 12: 13). May your encounter with this book be a turning point for good things in your life as you obey the word of God.
