What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I.

Book excerpt: As our Father God desires that we please Him in all our ways - in our words, actions, character, lifestyle, relationships, etc. What we do brings pleasure or displeasure to God. Pleasing God is the main purpose of our existence. It must be our highest priority. Pleasing God is not difficult, because He gives us everything we need to please Him. Sometimes, our problem is fear of man or trying to please people.We cannot please God in the flesh. We must first accept Jesus Christ into our life and be born again. Once you are in the kingdom of God, pleasing Him is inevitable. You will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live a lifethat is pleasing to God. Pleasing God is about living by God's standards, not by the world's standards. It is a matter of obeying God's Word and living by faith. It is about seeking to know Him and hating what He hates. The life that pleases God also usually pleases men and women. It is a life that fears God. It means following the example of the humility of Christ. It means operating in God's kind of love and wisdom to succeed in life. God promises to reward those who please Him.

Download or read book Seated with Christ written by Heather Holleman and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians find themselves trapped in the rhetoric of platform, influence, retweets, and fame, they need a ladder out of the fray. Many of us live in a prison of self-absorption. Shackled with pride and despair, we compare ourselves to others constantly in our frantic, unending pursuit of perfection. Seated with Christ gets to the root of this behavior and charts a path to freedom. Scripture says that God’s beloved are seated with Christ in the heavens (Eph. 2:6), treasured by Him and given a place at His table. Heather Holleman unveils what this means for us. It means we walk out on the fight for acceptance. We quit measuring ourselves to others.We leap free from cycles of shame. Securely-seated people can ask themselves hard questions about their lives; they can deal with sin, grieve their losses, and move forward in hope. From a position of security and self-forgetfulness they can joyfully do the good works prepared for them uniquely. They can even celebrate the successes of others. Seated with Christ is a deeply personal, liberating look at a glorious truth: that we have a place at God's eternal table.

Book excerpt: A moving, warm, very funny graphic memoir of Simone Lia's search for inner peace and a husband, traveling from London to a Welsh convent to the Australian outback As Simone Lia's book opens we find her in Leicester Square. She's just been dumped by her boyfriend and she's talking to God, telling Him that she's nearly 34 and if He wants her to get married, He'd better get a move on. Amazingly, God sends a reply, prompting Simone to plan an "Adventure with God" that starts with a stay in a nunnery, then takes her to Australia in search of a hermit. The one she finds proves a disappointment, unlike Brett, the handsome horseman who takes her riding. She thinks he looks just like Crocodile Dundee; he thinks she looks just like Penelope Cruz. Is this the man she's been searching for, or is God making fun of her? Funny, touching, and even occasionally profound, this book will be essential reading for singletons, seekers of enlightenment, and lovers of the very best graphic novels.
Download or read book Counterfeit Gods written by Timothy Keller and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2010-09-16 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of idolatry has been with the human race for thousands of years; the subtle temptation is always to take what is good and turn it into the ultimate good, elevating it above all other things in the search for security and meaning. In this timely and challenging book, New York pastor Timothy Keller looks at the issue of idolatry throughout the Bible -- from the worship of actual idols in the Old Testament, to the idolatry of money by the rich young ruler when he was challenged by Jesus to give up all his wealth. Using classic stories from the Bible Keller cuts through our dependence on the glittering false idols of money, sex and power to uncover the path towards trust in the real ultimate -- God. Today's idols may look different from those of the Old Testament, but Keller argues that they are no less damaging. Culturally transforming as well as biblically based, COUNTERFEIT GODS is a powerful look at the temptation to worship what can only disappoint, and is a vital message in today's current climate of financial and social difficulty.
