One Thing You Can't Do In Heaven
By Mark Cahill
Here is a REVIEW of this book:
Mark Cahill has written what I think is an excellent challenge to Christians to tell others about Jesus Christ while they still have time. While there are several exhortations to accept the challenge, Cahill also writes of practical ways to share the gospel with others. The most often method is using the 10 Commandments to show how futile it is to try to earn our way into heaven and instead rely on Jesus Christ's death on the cross for our sins to provide the way for the free gift of salvation.
Among the important points covered in the book include:
1. People are hungrier for the gospel than we realize - Indeed, we seem to hear from the people who don't like Christians sharing the gospel while we miss the many who desparately want someone to talk to them about eternity.
2. Reasons why we don't witness to others - Many reasons have to do with fear of what others think and our own spiritual complacency.
3. Ask God for creative ways to share the gospel - I have done this myself and it works!
4. Don't worry about pleasing others - Jesus Christ was perfect and yet He was still nailed to the cross! How can we expect to escape persecution and hard times when we witness to others?
5. 4 thought provoking questions to ask when witnessing to others - What do you mean by that? How do you know that to be true? Where do you get your information? What if you are wrong?
6. Common questions and objections and how to overcome them - Some questions are honest while others are meant to distract us.
7. Be bold while we still have time - Compared to eternity in heaven, the temporary pain we may feel when rejected pales in comparison!
All in all, an excellent challenge and encouragement to keep witnessing until we either pass from this earth or until Jesus Christ comes back for His children!
Read and enjoy. Highly recommended.
The Emergent Church - Undefining Chirstianity
By Bob Dewaay
Product Description:
The Emergent Church.
Its very name implies innovative understandings of Orthodox Christianity.
But what exactly does it stand for?
What exactly does it teach?
In The Emergent Church Undefining Christianity Bob DeWaay exposes the core belief that unifies the Emergent Church its eschatology. He demonstrates that in their system every other Christian concept is open to discussion and contradiction, yet their definition of eschatology remains constant and fixed; it is their sole unifying foundation. Without their eschatology there is no Emergent Church. Many have attempted to understand the movement, but have met with frustration when they encounter undefined language and contradictory beliefs that are inconsistent within the text and between authors. Indeed, the Emergent Church and its leaders intentionally avoid definitions or defined statements of faith that can be understood and discerned and welcome definitions that are felt or experienced. It is no wonder that frustration results. Once these facts are understood it becomes obvious that Emergent is not new at all; it is age-old heresy repackaged in postmodern subjectivity whose purpose is the further seduction of the naive and of those who refuse to love and obey the truth.

Here are excerpts from different chapters of this book:
Excerpts - Deceived on Purpose
Product Description:
When former New Ager Warren Smith began reading Purpose-Driven Life, he was shocked to discover language, ideas, terms and philosophies that he learned as a New Ager. If you have ever wondered what really lies beneath the surface of the Purpose-Driven agenda, then Deceived on Purpose is a must-read. A stunning and thought-provoking testimonial.
The book answers the following questions, and much more—
1. What is the connection between Rick Warren and Robert Schuller and what is the significance of this?
2. What does “God’s Dream” mean?
3. Are the details of biblical prophecy and Jesus’ return our business? Not according to Rick Warren, but what does Scripture say?
4. What is Rick Warren’s “Global P.E.A.C.E. Plan” really all about?
Sam Storms, A Sincere and Pure Devotion to Christ: 100 Daily Meditations on 2 Corinthians
By Sam Storms
Product Description:
Sam Storms's new devotional on 2 Corinthians, A Sincere and Pure Devotion to Christ, just came out. Here is his very practical application of 2 Corinthians 6:14: "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers." Sam writes:
The separation Paul has in mind between Christians and non-Christians is spiritual and moral, not spatial. The principle is this: enter into no relationship or bond or partnership or endeavor that will compromise your Christian integrity or weaken your will for holiness or cast a shadow on your reputation. . . . Some of the questions we must ask ourselves, in the effort to apply this principle, include:
“When I am with these nonbelievers, do I find myself in situations where I am unduly and dangerously exposed to temptation that may get the better of me?”
“When I am with non-Christians, do I find it easier than at other times to compromise on ethical matters? Do I find myself judging as “grey” what I would call “black” if I were with Christians?”
“Does my association with non-Christians tend to make me less vocal about my faith or less visible in my stand for Christ?”
“When I am with non-Christians, does conversation focus primarily on things of the world, or is there also opportunity for discussion of spiritual matters?”
“Does my association with non-Christians serve as an offense to others or a cause of reproach to the gospel?”
Christian Beliefs: Twenty Basics Every Christian Should Know
By Wayne Grudem
Product Description
A basic guide to twenty Christian beliefs that is solid, yet readable, and not intimidating for new believers and Christians in general. Includes chapter review questions.
From the Back Cover
Christian Essentials Made Plain and Simple God doesn’t call every Christian to go off to seminary, but there are certain matters of doctrine—that is, the church’s teaching—that every Christian simply must know. Theology is important because what we believe affects how we live. If you’re a relatively new believer in Jesus, or if you’re a more mature Christian looking for a quick brush-up on basics of the faith, Christian Beliefs is for you. This readable guide to twenty basic Christian beliefs is a condensation of Wayne Grudem’s award-winning book on systematic theology, prized by pastors and teachers everywhere. He and his son, Elliot, have boiled down the essentials of Christian theology for the average layperson and made them both clear and applicable to life. You will learn about the Bible, the characteristics of God, what it means that we are created in the image of God, what God has done for us in Christ, the purpose of the church, and much more. Each chapter includes questions for personal review or group discussion. These truly are twenty basic beliefs that every Christian should know. Wayne Grudem is a master teacher with the ability to explain profound truths in simple language. He is a man of deep conviction and theological passion—and those who read this book will be both educated and encouraged in the faith. R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky Based on Systematic Theology, this summary will certainly help beginners with Christ to get the hang of their faith. J. I. Packer, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia As Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology contracts into a compact book, I do not lose my enthusiasm for the truth he loves and the clarity of his words.

By John MacArthur

What the Holy Spirit Does in a Believer's Life
By Charles Spurgeon
Product Description:
As one of the greastest expository preachers of all time, Charles Spurgeon is eminently qualified to teach on the role of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life. The amazing success of his thirty-eight-year metropolitan ministry in the city of London during the 1800s was said to have been unparalleled in England since the days of Whitefield and Wesley.
Spurgeon credited his success to the powerful work of the Holy Spirit. He firmly believed that the spiritual transformations that occurred throughout the book of Acts were only the beginning of the mighty works the Holy Spirit intends to do. Declaring that Pentecost was not the pinnacle of the church's experience but only the first unveiling of what could and should happen, Spurgeon called upon believers to receive and live up to the full potential of the Holy Spirit.
Life-changing messages await you. Spurgeon's teaching is so solidly biblical, so understandable, so passionate, so wonderfully visual, and so practical that one cannot help but be inspired and challenged.
By Hugh Black
Product Description:
Here are some great quotes from Hugh Black’s book Friendship, published by Joshua Press.
‘The very existence of the church as a body of believers is due to this necessity of our nature, which demands opportunity for the interchange of Christian sentiment. The deeper the feeling, the greater is the joy of sharing it with another. There is a strange felicity, a wondrous enchantment, which comes from true intimacy of heart, and close communion of soul, and the result is more than mere fleeting joy. When it is shared in the deepest thoughts and highest aspirations, when it is built on a common faith, and lives by a common hope, it brings perfect peace. No friendship has done its work until it reaches the supremest satisfaction of spiritual communion.’
‘We cannot live a self-centered life, without feeling that we are missing the true glory of life. We were made for social intercourse, if only that the highest qualities of our nature might have an opportunity for development. The joy, which a true friendship gives, reveals the existence of the want of it, perhaps previously unfelt. It is a sin against ourselves to let our affections wither. This sense of incompleteness is an argument in favour of its possible satisfaction; our need is an argument for its fulfillment. Our hearts demand love, as truly as our bodies demand food.’
The world thinks we idealize our friend, and tells us that love is proverbially blind. Not so: it is only love that sees…. We only see what dull eyes never see at all. If we wonder what another man sees in his friend, it should be the wonder of humility, not the supercilious wonder of pride. He sees something which we are not permitted to witness. Beneath and amongst what looks only like worthless slag, there may glitter the pure gold of a fair character. That anybody in the world should be got to love us, and to see in us not what colder eyes see, not even what we are but what we may be, should of itself make us humble and gentle in our criticism of others’ friendships. Our friends see the best in us, and by that very fact call forth the best from us.
There is nothing so important as the choice of friendship; for it both reflects character and affects it. A man is known by the company he keeps. This is an infallible test; for his thoughts, and desires, and ambitions, and loves are revealed here. He gravitates naturally to his congenial sphere. And it affects character; for it is the atmosphere he breathes. It enters into his blood and makes the circuit of his veins. All love assimilates to what it loves. A man is moulded into likeness of the lives that come nearest him.
Friends should be chosen by a higher principle of selection than any worldly one, of pleasure, or usefulness, or by weak submission to the evil influences of our lot. They should be chosen for character, for goodness, for truth and trustworthiness, because they have sympathy with us in our best thoughts and holiest aspirations, because they have community of mind in the things of the soul. All other connections are fleeting and imperfect from the nature of the case.

By Paul David Tripp
Product Description:
As we reach and start living in our middle years, we recognize that what was, now is the end of many things as we knew them. However, this mid-life pain can actually be the beginning to turn us in midlife to God's Grace. We even see our own mortality as our parents pass away........this can be boot-camp for the soul. It is imperative that we face up to what underlies our unsettled, heavy-hearted mood.
Paul Tripp gives us four reasons why midlife hits us so hard............do you relate to them??
(1.) We have tended to be our own personal con man. We have shifted blame for our sin onto others. When we play the con man and offer ourselves false atonement, we take ourselves off the moral hook. In doing so we not only get in the way of God's sanctifying mercies, but we also set ourselves up for moments of shock and dismay when it becomes quite clear that we were not, in fact, as rightesous as we thought.
(2.) We have signed a premature armistice agreement with our sin nature. Because God has brought us to himself and delivered us from many sins, we begin to live with a peacetime mentality. The problem is that we tend to think that the enemy has been conquered long before that is actually true. We live as if there were peace when there is no peace. And because we think we are at peace, we turn our attention to other things, becoming even blinder to the war for our hearts. The Christian life is one of serving in an armored division in the middle of an ongoing war. When we forget this, we declare victory and peace too soon and set ourselves up for the rude awakening of regret in midlife.
(3.) We have fed the beast while being surprised that we have been bitten. We are too naive when it comes to the presence, power, attractiveness, and danger of sin. All of us, in our individual ways, feed the beast every day through moments of bitterness, anger, or lust. If the devil is a roaring lion on the prowl for food (and he is), then we should do everything we can in our daily living to stay at a safe distance.
(4.) We have bandaged our wounds without healing the diease. Only when the heart changes will lasting change take place in our behavior.
The Disappearance of God: Dangerous Beliefs in the New Spiritual Openness
By Albert Mohler
Product Description:
Here is the Preface to The Disappearance of God:
Has God disappeared? The tragic reality is that we are living in an age that is marked by so much spiritual and theological confusion that the God of the Bible has largely disappeared from view -- replaced by less imposing deities that are more amenable to the modern mind.
In one sense, we are witnessing the result of secularization and the evaporation of biblical theism from our public life. To this we must add the privatization of truth and the fact that millions of Americans claim a divine right to their own spiritual cocoon and belief system. As the song suggests, Americans now lay claim to “their own personal Jesus.” This personal vision of Jesus Christ may well bear little or no resemblance to Jesus as he is revealed in the Bible.
Indeed, the abdication of biblical faith is one of the hallmarks of our age – whether you prefer to call it postmodern, hypermodern, or post-postmodern. Yet, once the faith is severed from biblical authority, Christianity becomes essentially plastic; a malleable and changeable belief system that just begs for transformation into some other shape and substance.
The situation is complicated further by the embrace of an “openness” that is not open to authentic biblical Christianity. “Tolerance” becomes a code-word for avoiding truth and “openness” means never having to make a judgment about truth at all.
A rescue from this predicament would appear more hopeful but for the fact that the church has, in large part, apparently joined the revolution. Theological fads and fashions dot the American religious landscape, and far too many Christian churches flirt with doctrinal disaster.
As always, truth is the essential issue. Where a clear notion of truth is absent, Christianity becomes more of an attitude than a belief system. But belief has always stood at the center of Christianity, and belief presupposes a truth that can and must be known.
This issues addressed within this book are matters of continuing concern within the Christian church. Intelligent and faithful Christians should know of these issues, and this book is intended to help believers to understand what is at stake.
In the end, the hope for the church is the hope of our lives – Jesus Christ. As our Lord promised, the gates of Hell shall not prevail over his church. This is a promise we can trust, even (and especially) in the face of current controversies and concerns.
God has certainly not disappeared, but the belief that he has sets our present challenge squarely before us. We will soon find out whether this generation of Christians is up to the challenge.
By Mark Hitchcock

Mark Hitchcock, a Dallas Theological Seminary graduate and recognized expert on end times theology, distills the seven essential signs of the end, as foretold in the Bible. In this fifth book of his authoritative series on biblical prophecy, Hitchcock cuts straight to the heart of an urgent topic, providing the information people need as they try to evaluate the state of their world.

By Greg Albrecht
Product Description:
From any non-Christian point of view, the gospel does not make sense. Grace doesn't make sense. Grace doesn't add up. Why would Jesus come to be one of us, to pay a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt we could not pay? Why would He do that? Free? No strings? What was in it for Him? Since the church first began, Christians have had trouble accepting God's grace. We have substituted holiness, discipleship, order, regulation, and a long list of things to avoid in place of God's free gift. The result is a "Bad News Religion" that drains the joy and life out of believers.
Bad News Religion is a convicting, liberating exploration of how we, in the name of religion, have shifted the focus from the work of God to our ability to become worthy of salvation. The result is bondage and defeat. The key to success in the Christian life is not what we do, but who we know. Knowing God and knowing the fullness of His grace is a liberating experience. Most of us don't realize how we have robbed ourselves of experiencing the richness of God's grace.
By Robert A. Morey
Product Description:
Unintimidated by the tide of human thought in contemporary philosophy, ethics, and even liberal theology, Dr. Robert Morey builds a theoretically sound, intellectually compelling, and biblically based case for the Trinity within the context of those issues that will dominate Twenty-first century thought.
"But Don't All Religions Lead to God"
By Dr. Michael Green
Product Description:
We've all heard the rationale: "It doesn't matter what you believe as long as you're sincere." Or "All religions are pretty much the same." But are they the same? Does it matter which one you follow? In this insightful and compelling book, Michael Green invites readers into a relationship with Jesus Christ, the divine revelation and only pathway to the one true God. In a conversational style geared toward nonbelievers, Green compares Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and other religions to help spiritual seekers navigate the multi-faith maze. "But Don't All Religions Lead to God?" is an ideal reference and evangelism tool for churches and individual Christians as well. It offers scriptural references, looks at how divergent religious traditions view salvation and eternity, and answers difficult questions such as "What about people who have never heard of Jesus?" and "How should Christians regard other religions?" In the midst of our pluralistic and tolerant culture, here is an important and convincing argument for faith in Jesus-the only great teacher whose death and resurrection provided grace, forgiveness, and an eternity in the presence of God.
About the Author
Michael Green is a senior research fellow at Wycliffe Hall, a college within Oxford University in England. He is also an evangelist, a Bible teacher, and the author of more than sixty books, including The Message of Matthew and Asian Tigers for Christ. Green was formerly on staff at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. His biography has recently been published in the UK by HarperCollins.
By Walter Martin
Product Description:
All of us can benefit from this book to help us understand the mechanics of spiritual deception ......especially in these troubled times of cultural darkness.
The interest in the paranormal is growing at an alarming rate. This book has sound Biblical truths that help us understand why so many people are drawn to the occult in the first place. Each chapter begins with a “quick facts” overview, an explanation of how each particular occult practice came to be and then it has true life stories to illustrate the chapter's topic and concludes with resources and counseling tools.
More and more people are seeking solace in mystical experiences, as well as "another Jesus" and "other gospels," which is discussed at length. Satan's modus operandus is to draw us away from God any way he can.
The Kingdom of the Occult shows us how to reach the hearts of people with Christ's love and compassion, but with His uncompromising truth. After all, "The one great weakness of occult theology is this: it promises nothing to its followers after a lifetime of believing it." The occult shatters lives.
1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)
"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect."
"It's Not Fair: Finding Hope When Times Are Tough"
By Wayne Mack
Product Description:
Mack says that "correcting our theology automatically corrects our wrong thinking and doing. What we believe about God always affects the way we live our lives." Here is a paraphrase of his ten truths:
(1.) If we know and believe that God is all-wise . . . we will believe he is all-sufficient in the decisions he makes about the way he orders our lives.
(2.) If we know and believe that God is all-wise . . . we will believe that no situation is too difficult for God to devise a successful way of handling it. It might be too tough for us to figure it out, but never too tough for him.
(3.) If we know and believe that God is all-wise . . . we will believe that God controls even our temptations and provides a way out (1 Corinthians 10:13). We may not immediately see the way of escape, but we believe God provides one.
(4.) If we know and believe that God is all-wise . . . we will believe that it's God's job to direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). It's our job to remain trusting no matter what.
(5.) If we know and believe that God is all-wise . . . we will rejoice because of the blessing that comes from our trials (James 1:2).
(6.) If we know and believe that God is all-wise . . . we will believe that God's interpretation of reality is the only one that 100% accurate. His Word, and not our feelings, is the standard and definition of reality and truth.
(7.) If we know and believe that God is all-wise . . . we will trust that God is doing the right things even when we don't fully understand why he has allowed certain things to happen.
(8.) If we know and believe that God is all-wise . . . we will realize that God alone knows why we have problems. He knows what causes our difficulties and why we do what we do. He also knows how they can be resolved.
(9.) If we know and believe that God is all-wise . . . we will no longer look to psychologists and psychiatrists for understanding man, his problems, and their earthly solution.
(10.) If we know and believe that God is all-wise . . . we will love the truth and hate falsehood.
By Dominic Smart
Product Description:
The heart of legalism is an attitude: "I can make myself acceptable to God by what I do." It is self-realizing, instead of accepting the realization of our lives in Christ. It is works mad, because it knows nothing of the rest that comes through faith in Christ. It panders to our activist natures--those who are energetic and well-organized can be especially susceptible to its poisonous charms. It is alien to grace and mercy. . . . Of course, very few of us would ever say that we are legalistic.
Being "in Christ" rescues us from this swamp of legalistic discipleship. First, you can rest in Christ--in fact must rest in him. You can come to God without insecurity and with the kind of confidence and boldness that he has told us he wants to see--the fruits of security in Christ. . . . Your communion with him becomes more important than your operational efficiency. Jesus gave his disciples remarkably little to do. Their main calling was simply to be with him.
If you yearn for a deeper understanding of what it means to be "in Christ," this little paperback will answer a lot of your questions
By Mike Horton
Product Description:
Who is Jesus to You?
(1.) Does Christ come merely to improve our existence . . . or to end it, sweeping us into his new creation?
(2.) Is Christianity all about spiritual and moral makeovers or about death and resurrection--radical judgment and radical grace?
(3.) Is the Bible God's story, centering on Christ's redeeming work . . . or is it something we use to make our stories a little more exciting and interesting?
(4.) Does Christ come to boost our ego or to crucify our ego and raise us up as new creatures with our identity in him?
Encounters With the Unexpected God
By William Smith
Product Description:
The most beautiful word in the English language is grace. Although impossible to adequately define, William Smith has done a masterful job of illustrating God s grace in his book, Caught Off Guard: Encounters with the Unexpected God. The stories are wonderful and refreshing for any parched soul looking for encouragement. --Robert Jeffress, Pastor and author of Second Chance, Second Act
Here is what he says about Lot:
Lot is tempted and charmed by the attractions of the world. When he pursued them instead of the promises of God, he wound up ruining his family. . . . When he made his home in Sodom, Sodom made its home in his family. Lot reached for it all and ended up with nothing.
And that is so easy to do! No one sets out to become a pathological liar so that, by the time she's fifty-three, everyone doubts every word she says. No one plans to turn into a glutton who wheezes whenever he climbs the stairs or has to squeeze behind his car's steering wheel. No one seeks to end up miserly, hypersensitive, or anxious.
People become what they are by making small choices, one after another, over periods of time.
Lot did not wake up one day and say to himself, "I think I'd like to lose everything I value and live among radically depraved people who will influence my daughters to be immoral. Now, what's the best way to make that happen?"
But those were the consequences he set in motion by making small, self-serving choices. He chose the best-looking land for his own, moved his tent nearer to the big city, relocated within it and became a leading citizen who sat in the gate. Little by little, Lot grew more and more comfortable with people who should have made him feel more and more disturbed. Each step along the way was easy because it was small. But each step moved him farther and farther from his God, and he paid a dreadful price.
