Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith
Download or read book Evangelism for the Rest of Us written by Mike Bechtle and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most common methods of evangelism are tailor-made for extroverts. But what about the rest of us? Other Christians, including introverted, reflective people, are left with feelings of guilt and fear and the desire to become more outgoing. The problem, says Mike Bechtle, is not their personality, but that they've been taught methods of evangelism that push them too far out of their comfort zone. In Evangelism for the Rest of Us, Bechtle shows readers how to share their faith in more comfortable ways by helping them discover and define their unique strengths within their personality type. With fresh, biblical insight, this much-needed resource renews a passion for sharing Christ with others, because telling the Good News does not have to be so intimidating.

Yancey gently took away my blinders and blazed the trail through my own doubting fears, pious know-it-all, and critical balderdash until I saw the Savior anew and thought I heard him ask me, 'Now whom do you say that I am?' and I understood the question as I never had before." --Lewis B. Smedes, Senior Professor, Fuller Seminary "Philip Yancey takes the reader with him on his very personal journey to Jesus. In The Jesus I Never Knew, I became convinced that the Jesus I met--in some ways for the first time--has known me all along. This book is destined to become a favorite--to recommend to those still seeking Jesus and to pass along to those who've met him, but long to know him more." --Elisa Morgan, President Emerita, MOPS International

Download or read book Understanding God s Personality written by Rev J. C. Washington and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-14 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book, God's Personality, is that we all want to know what personality of God that is not like our personality. Our personality changes like the weather, but God's personality does not; his personality is everlasting. With us, we have two kinds of personality. There are the loved kind and the unloved kind. In this book, I am going to talk about both sides. A man's personality versus God's personality. Many of us ask the question, Why are so many things happening today, like murder, shooting, terrorist attacks, robbery, and things like kidnapping, and God is not doing anything about them? I will talk about that as I go through this book. There are many things as humans that we need to know about God and his ways. As we go through chapter to chapter, detailing the study of the fruit of the Spirit, I will awaken your thought and understanding. You need to see and know him as he is. He is not like us. He gives us a chance to be like him, but we have to work at it, by being the people that he created us to be. This too, I will be explaining in this book. If you know how to act toward others and the way you treat them and the way you carry yourself in everyday life, God has given you some talents to work with. This book Understanding God's Personality will answer many questions that one may ask concerning the fallen state of man. If we had the personality of God, many of us would not fall along the way, not knowing which way is right. Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the light." I would like to see everyone go in the right way, that straight and narrow pathway to heaven, and rejoice with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, with the angel singing the highest praise to the Lamb of God. In Isaiah 38:19–20 (KJV), Hezekiah said, "The Living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. The Lord was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the Lord." This to let them know that God can do the same for them. To love God—you need much to serve him!
Download or read book Sacred Pathways written by Gary Thomas and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God. A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.

Download or read book Dangerous Virtues written by John Koessler and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has the World Confused Evil with Righteousness? When sin is disguised as virtue, the path to cultivating righteousness becomes impossible. Such is the challenge Christians face in the modern age. Not long ago, most people would agree that the seven deadly sins are in fact deadly. But ask them today, and you’ll hear a different answer. Today, “anger” is often considered an admirable emotion, “lust” the only expression of love, and “greed” the unassailable right to “get what’s yours.” The world can rebrand sin all it wants and declare the death of truth, but it has no power against the truth of the Scripture. What God calls sin is sin—no matter what the world says. And sin always has the same destination—death and destruction. Dangerous Virtues examines how to recognize these seven deadly sins as they are subtly disguised in today’s culture. Dr. John Koessler provides a theology of sin and why the Christian must develop a prayerful heart and discerning eye to identify where sin exists in a world where good is called evil and evil called good.

The book will be especially helpful to youth pastors, student ministry leaders and parents of young people." -Robert E.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovering your personality makes you live like God here on earth. If you don't discover your personality in Christ you cannot add value to your life and to the lives of others in your family. Until you discover your personality in Christ, you can never know what God wants from you, you will be living here on earth without direction, confused, without knowing what to do and what God wants from you or how he wants you to relate to other people and how to receive your benefits from God as his child. And it will be impossible for you to love your neighbors when you have not discovered their value to your life and for you to discover their value, you must first have discovered yourself. Whenever you discover your role in the life of others, you will understand how useful they can be to you, and you will understand too that there is no need to be at war with anybody. But whenever you have failed to discover yourself, you might think that the breakthrough of others is your disadvantage and if you don't change this mindset and knowledge you might even fight against people that God has ordained to deliver you, like Joseph's brothers who fought the man that God has destined to help their lives. This book, 'YOUR PERSONALITY IN CHRIST', will help you discover your personality in Christ and enjoy his deposit in you!
Download or read book Renovation of the Heart written by Dallas Willard and published by Tyndale House. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Manifesto presents a fresh unveiling of Jesus, seeking to restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world—and a church—that has lost sight of Him. Christians have made the gospel about so many things—things other than Christ. Religious concepts, ideas, doctrines, strategies, and methods that begin to eclipse the beauty, the glory, and the reality of the Lord Jesus Himself. We know a lot about our Lord, but we don't know Him very well. We know a lot about trying to be like Jesus, but very little about living by His indwelling life. Jesus Manifesto provides clarity on the most important points of our faith. It is a prophetic call to restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world and church that has lost sight of Him. This manifesto emphasizes ten crucial areas of restoring the supremacy of Jesus Christ, noting: Christians don’t follow Christianity; they follow Christ Christians don't proclaim themselves; they proclaim Christ Christians don’t point people to core values; they point people to the Cross Christians don't preach about Christ; they preach Christ Read this book to see your Lord like you've never seen Him before and restore the sovereignty of Jesus in your life.
