God‿s blessings make us happy,His presence makes us strong. And when the Lord returns to us,He will right whatever is wrong! Haggai‿s prophesies teach obedience and promote courage,two virtues as essential today as when he first wrote.  The minor prophets offer major lessons for believers of all ages!These inspired truths are now shared in story book form for the very first time!Â

If you have ever struggled with deep disappointments,unanswered prayers, or found your life crumbling around you, Conspiracy Theory was written just for you!The world of social media shows us with real clarity the desire that people have to be connected to each other,but with the safety of an off switch. Real world intimacy can be very different‿ much better, but without the off switch. The greatest intimacy however is with God, whether we realise it or not. It can be difficult to take in the fact that God knows us better than we know ourselves, and that his love is bigger than anything we have ever experienced, yet not out of reach. Just as at the airport when we see through our luggage on the x‿ray, nothing is hidden from Him nor do we have to hide anything. Not only that, but He reveals himself as so much bigger than us and also everything we need, which can free us from the bondage of being obsessed with ourselves ‿ true liberation! The roadmap for this book travels through one of the most loved and popular portions in the Bible ‿ Psalm 139. It takes you on a journey from the heights of intimacy to the inevitable lows that life brings us, especially the ones that leave us saying ‿WOW ‿ I never saw that coming.‿ But that is when the need for intimacy with God can hit us like a brick. What if God is behind the WOW?  What if we need to forgive and just cannot, or just do not understand what is going on, or feel that change is overwhelming? Whether these situations are personal,physical, relational, or even bigger, when they arrive, it seems we realise then that we alone are not enough. Real intimacy with God is incredible but will require honesty, wrestling with difficult issues and asking challenging questions. Come along on this possibly life‿transforming journey ‿ it‿s well worth the trip.  Incudes Personal  Questions. Suitable for Study Groups. Looks at  Issues Such as War & Abortion. Interesting Facts & FiguresOther Bible Stories InterwovenEngaging and Funny  Everyday Stories.

An encouraging,warm‿hearted read on the theology of generosityEvery Christian is called to give ‿ of our money, our time, our talents ‿ but how often do we give just because we feel we should? We resent the sacrifice of things we could enjoy ourselves, and the biblical idea of giving cheerfully seems almost impossible. Or we give because we know that it will make us feel good. Or because we want other people to think well of us. But this is not godly giving.  The motivation behind our giving is important. Giving, like everything else in the Christian life, begins with the two greatest commandments ‿ to love the Lord our God with everything we have, and to love our neighbour as ourselves. Our cheerful,outrageous and extravagant generosity begins with unreservedly loving the God who has freely given us all things.   In this concise book, Joel Morris explains that our understanding and practice of generosity is based on our knowledge of God, as well as the condition of our own hearts. While many books explain that we should give, Morris dives into the why of giving.  Christians can afford to be generous because we have been given so much. Generosity overflows from our life in Christ. We are the recipients of amazing grace ‿ we didn‿t save ourselves, we simply said yes to the greatest gift.  Although we often think of money when we speak about giving, the theology that Morris lays out so clearly can be applied to many things in our lives. To name but a few,we can be generous in serving, in giving money, time and talent, in hospitality,food, stuff and good works.  The book‿s conclusion encourages readers to think through how the theology of generosity applies to their everyday lives. To whom will the generosity of the gospel flow through us? In what ways can we show the heart of God to those we meet? This is not a long book, but it is packed full of the encouragement we need to become big‿hearted givers. Essential reading for every Christian, it will help you to see that rather than giving begrudgingly, we can rejoice in the opportunity we have to give as God gives ‿ joyfully, sacrificially, and lovingly.  ContentsForewords by Michael Reeves, President of Union School of Theology and Daryl Heald, Founder of Generosity PathPreface by the authorIntroductionOverflowing GodThe Greatest GiftCheerful Givers are BrokenPlaying GodConclusion

A pastoral guide to dealing wisely with domestic abuse in the local church.  This book is intended to equip pastors, church leaders and church members to respond with the heart of God to situations of domestic abuse that occur in their local church. Prioritising the safety of the victim at all times, Jeremy Pierre and Greg Wilson seek to help you be the kind of church leader, church member, friend,parent, sibling, or neighbor who responds wisely. We want the church to be a new normal for those grown accustomed to abuse. A home that doesn‿t hurt those inside, but instead welcomes them into the tender care of the Lord.    Split into three sections, When Home Hurts begins with an overview to provide a framework for understanding abuse and the people caught up in it, before moving on to advice on how to help in the short and long terms.  This very practical, pastoral book acknowledges the reality and the horror of domestic abuse, but also the reality and power of God to heal. It will be a helpful guide to anyone who suspects abuse within their church family but is unsure how to help without making things worse.  The five appendices at the end of the book offer helpful answers to difficult questions as well as additional resources.  Section 1 ‿ How to Understand AbuseUnderstanding Your Role as Agent of God‿s LoveUnderstanding Abuse DynamicsDiscerning Abuse DynamicsSection 2 ‿ How to Help in the Short TermCaring for the VictimConfronting the AbuserConsidering Collateral DamageSection 3 ‿ How to Help in the Long TermHelping the Move from Victim to OvercomerHelping the Move from Abuser to ServantLeading Your Church to Respond with Wisdom and CompassionAppendix A ‿ FAQs in the Initial StagesAppendix B ‿ FAQs on Separation, Divorce, and Reunification After AbuseAppendix C ‿ The Authority of Scripture and Abuse ResearchAppendix D ‿ ResourcesAppendix E ‿ Care Advocate Role Description

A faithful examination of the role of John Calvin in the execution of Michael Servetus.  The execution of Michael Servetus (1511‿53) is one of the most debated events in the life of John Calvin (1509‿1564). It has left an indelible stain on Calvin‿s reputation, and unfortunately, the retelling of the story is often dependent on the historian‿s relationship to Calvinism.  Jonathan Moorhead here seeks to give a faithful narrative of the role of John Calvin in the execution of Michael Servetus. He examines the life of Servetus, with emphasis given to his education,publications, and relationship with John Calvin. Moorhead also gives attention to the role of Calvin in Servetus‿ arrests, trials, and execution.  Understanding the extent of Calvin‿s power in Geneva at the time of the trial is critical to understanding the events, as is the context of executing heretics throughout history, and in particular, in the16th Century.  This book will challenge readers to think critically about the ethics of telling history, the standards of properly judging previous generations, and the benefits of this study for the building up of the Body of Christ.   Servetus‿ Education and PublicationsServetus‿ Arrest and Escape from VienneThe Authority of John CalvinServtus‿ Arrest, Trial and Execution in GenevaFinal ConsiderationsConclusion
