DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn recent years, churches of all stripes have begun to look afresh at how to more efficiently be God's agents of care to the poor in their communities. Additionally, millennials have become more vocal in their desire for the church to invest more attention and resources in this area. But where do they start? Should they spend more money or launch new programs? In his new book, Discovering God's Heart For The Poor, Thomas Osgood encourages us all--from pastor to pew-warmer--to start from the heart. God's heart. His compassion for the least, the left out and the left behind shows up throughout the Bible in both familiar texts and in other scripture verses that are not so well known. Whether you're a staff member, ministry director, Bible study leader or a Christian who wants to understand God's heart more deeply, you are sure to have a deeper understanding of God's heart for the poor, and develop a strong foundation from which to take action. Tom has sought to orient his life to reflect God's deep love for the poor and marginalized. He has "gleaned" wisdom from his years of experience rolling up his sleeves and ministering to the widow, orphan, and immigrant, and he's excited to share that knowledge with you through this book. Tom currently lives in Chicago with his wife, Angie.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDiscover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today. Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead! Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to be. “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.” - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis
