Jesus Christ Lives: So Great was the Astonishment of the People! is a singular, complete, and purely scriptural account not only of Jesus’ earthly recorded life and teachings among mankind in the land of Jerusalem, but also his resurrected ministry among righteous inhabitants in Ancient America. It is taken both from the best of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John’s accounts in the King James Version of the Holy Bible, as well as the account given in Third Nephi of the Book of Mormon. This book is written for the purpose of removing all the unrelated material and complexity in a person’s attempt to get a basic, clear, yet comprehensive overview of Jesus’ life and teachings among the people who knew him, and recorded their experiences with him in the Biblical account. In the Book of Mormon is the pure, unaltered account of the resurrected Lord’s ministry among the Nephites. . Instead of four partial accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the Holy Bible, this book presents a single story of their accounts, followed by the account of the Savior’s Ancient American ministry. The book includes an index and marking system which makes easily available all of the events, sermons, parables, and miracles recorded in the Biblical section. Jesus Christ Lives: So Great was the Astonishment of the People! is an attempt to gather in simplicity for youth, as well as adults, the Savior’s concepts, wisdom and Spirit in these two ministries.

Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

"Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul." —John Piper No one has had a greater impact on the world for eternal good than the apostle Paul—except Jesus himself. For John Piper, this impact is very personal. He does not just admire and trust Paul. He loves him. Piper gives us thirty glimpses into why his heart and mind respond this way. Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother? If we know this man—if we see what Piper sees—we too will love him. Paul's testimony is a matter of life and death. Piper invites you into his relationship with Paul in the hope that you will know life, forever.

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

Exaltation: The Goal “Exploring the Path” is a marathonic work which focuses on examining through scriptures already imparted to man, the path leading not only to basic “salvation”, but culminating or ending in exaltation for the humble followers of Christ returning to live as worthy sons and daughters of God in his very presence. The book draws expansively on the full scope of ancient, as well as modern-day scriptures, is divided into fourteen chapters, and is meticulously documented throughout. It serves as a remarkable resource on the more than 160 organized subjects covering the revealed path, from man’s very beginning to the veritable end, where sadly, “many are called, but few are chosen”. Will you be among those few?

Is there any eternal value to your day job? Is it possible to find gospel meaning in your "secular" career? If you really love Jesus, shouldn't you quit your job and go into full-time ministry? How does your everyday work have anything to do with God's mission in the world? Many marketplace Christians have wrestled with these questions in their lives and in their work. But from entrepreneurs to assembly line workers, from high-paid execs to minimum-wage hospitality staff, more Christians are becoming overwhelmingly filled with renewed purpose as they realize that their work has a role in God's kingdom plan. In Missional Marketplace, author Erik Cooper offers his perspective through personal stories and reflections on the sacredness of all work, framing the faith and work discussion through the lenses of The Great Story, The Great Commandment, and The Great Commission. This book will create a gospel-collision between your faith, your work, and the global mission of God in this world.

Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.
