Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Draw Ever Closer is an easy-to-use devotional for all who seek both intimacy with God and relationship with other people. This book offers you a personal, thirty-day retreat based on the most popular works of modern spiritual writer Henri J. M. Nouwen, a priest, psychologist, and lifelong seeker whose books include Out of Solitude and With Open Hands. Requiring only a few minutes each day, Draw Ever Closer allows you to reflect deeply on the fundamental longings for meaning, belonging, and intimacy as well as the call to service and social justice in each person’s life. Henri Nouwen—renowned Dutch priest, teacher, and spiritual leader—explored the depths of human experience as a meeting place with God in his spiritual writings for popular audiences. Trained as a psychologist, he was keenly aware of the inner movements of the psyche: the search for authentic self-awareness, the longing for human intimacy, and the desire to draw ever closer to the fullness of union with God. All titles in the 30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher series contain a brief morning meditation, a mantra for use throughout the day, and a night prayer to focus your thoughts as the day ends. This simple book is the perfect prayer companion for busy people who want to root their spiritual practice in Nouwen’s timeless, and timely, teachings on relationship. Reflecting perceptively on the words and deeds of Jesus, Nouwen shares his own relationship with Christ in a way that leads readers to Christ and teaches them to follow his example.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through faith in Jesus Christ anyone can accept the free gift of salvation (a ticket for “the train to glory”). The narrator accepted his ticket without fully knowing what it meant. He sought out a mentor, Stan, to guide him in how to mature in his faith while waiting for the train to eternity. Through casual conversations with Stan, the storyteller’s faith grows in practical, everyday situations. As you join him on his journey, you will feel like you’re listening in on a conversation about God, the Bible, and how to experience personal growth while waiting for the train. The readings are based on the author’s years of journaling, which helped him cultivate a deep relationship with the Lord. Each reading is followed by Scripture references that connect to the theme of the day. A prayer and “Think on this” questions tie it all together. Join the author as he is discipled in moving from conversion towards transformation, and what it means for living your life before catching the train. “There is a place in today’s world for stories that present what Jesus says in a different way, a way that resonates in truth without preaching and without overreaching. That is what Waiting for the Train presents.” —From the Foreword by Josh McDowell

Book excerpt: Many people envision God as a strict father figure--stern, detached, exacting, and vengeful--lacking feelings and emotions. Yet, once we come to understand that God actually expresses a wide range of passion, we will relate to Him on a much more "human" level and start seeing Him for who He really is. In Passionate God, Kenneth Ulmer helps us understand and appreciate the "humanity" of God as expressed through His emotions: joy, sympathy, grief, care, laughter, jealousy, humor, anger, and, of course, love. This book will change the way people view and relate to God because it reveals a Creator intimately involved with His beloved creation and is more like us than we ever imagined.

Book excerpt: “What is at stake is authenticity. . . . Sooner or later Christians tire of public meetings that are profoundly inauthentic, regardless of how well (or poorly) arranged, directed, performed. We long to meet, corporately, with the living and majestic God and to offer him the praise that is his due.”—D. A. CarsonWorship is a hot topic, but the ways that Christians from different traditions view it vary greatly. What is worship? More important, what does it look like in action, both in our corporate gatherings and in our daily lives? These concerns—the blending of principle and practice—are what Worship by the Book addresses.Cutting through cultural clichés, D. A. Carson, Mark Ashton, Kent Hughes, and Timothy Keller explore, respectively:· Worship Under the Word· Following in Cranmer’s Footsteps· Free Church Worship: The Challenge of Freedom· Reformed Worship in the Global City “This is not a comprehensive theology of worship,” writes Carson. “Still less is it a sociological analysis of current trends or a minister’s manual chockfull of ‘how to’ instructions.” Rather, this book offers pastors, other congregational leaders, and seminary students a thought-provoking biblical theology of worship, followed by a look at how three very different traditions of churchmanship might move from this theological base to a better understanding of corporate worship. Running the gamut from biblical theology to historical assessment all the way to sample service sheets, Worship by the Book shows how local churches in diverse traditions can foster corporate worship that is God-honoring, Word-revering, heartfelt, and historically and culturally informed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can't keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don't have what it takes. I can will it, but I can't do it. I decide to do good, but I don't really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don't result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time. --Romans 7:17-20 (MSG) If you read this set of verses and say, "Wow that's me in a nutshell!" then welcome. You have found your people. Frequently as Christians, we fail, and we screw up. We are pegged as hypocrites because, well, we can be and oftentimes we are. Like anyone else in life, Christians have issues, and we don't always handle them right or well. Just because we carry the name Christian, it doesn't make us magically infallible. This mentality tends to leave us in a place of utter aloneness. Y'all, we were never alone to begin with! We don't have to stay in the place of hurt, harm, and hypocrisy! This book explains God's grace and sovereignty over our lives through some heavy and some normal life struggles, digging deep into the meaning of the hymn "His Eye is on the Sparrow" by Civilla Martin, changing our Sundays-only-Christian mentality into someone who's willing to plead with Christ and other Christians to change our character to be more like His.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we are younger, it is very easy to see ourselves as royalty. Our throne is just an imagination away. If asked, we would state with regal authority; Yes I am Princess So-and-so and yes that is Prince Charming by my side. Unfortunately, somewhere between the little girl twirling with her tiara and the young woman trying to feel comfortable in her own skin, we sometimes lose that certainty. While the desire to be a princess remains constant, the hope of actually becoming a princess gets tucked away with other childhood memories. Life happens. Hurt, pain, sin, and shame often happen. The princess within becomes alien and is replaced by what is described as a cinder girl. Within this book, allow God to show you the journey out of the cinders and into your birthright as a princess of the King of Kings. This is not a self-help book. There are no formulas as to how to make your cinders magically disappear. Within these pages are an invitation to know your Prince Jesus more intimately. Prayerfully, you will learn to trust Him as He guides you out of the cinders and into the realization of who you are in the Kingdom of God. In the end, it is our prayer you will find yourself no longer smudged by the cinders.
