One Step to Jesus is a Bible study for those who struggle with bad habits like substance abuse, anger, depression, eating disorders, gambling, pornography, and other addictive behaviors. It is simplistic. The curriculum will ask questions about sin and instruct you to read the Bible to find the answer. This book leaves space to jot down the Scripture. The lessons have a logical sequence that builds upon one another:Chapter 1 introduces repentance and forgiveness. Here we learn that spiritual birth is necessary for victory. Chapter 2 presents a plan of initial restoration with God and with others. We learn if we do not have the right relationship with God, we will not have a right relationship with people. This is a new way of thinking. Chapter 3 exposes sin so we can recognize it. We learn why accountability and a daily devotional life are essential in making good choices and sidestepping the wrong ones. Chapter 4 teaches obedience to God's Word. This chapter reveals our faith by being a doer of the Bible. Chapter 5 is all about spiritual warfare. Now that we are a part of God's family, as His children, we will always have an enemy that is against us. This chapter teaches us how to gain victory in and through Jesus. Chapter 6 compares the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit. Even though it is the longest chapter, it's important to understand what each spiritual characteristic is to overcome our old way of living. Chapter 7 concludes with God's Faithfulness. If we have faith in God, then we can be assured that His faith will deliver us from temptation. We can trust God as being sovereign over all things. Also included:Understanding Addiction, Warning Signs of Addiction, and Is Using Marijuana a Sin? Jesus made this amazing statement. "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed" (John 8:36). Jesus will free us from life-dominating sin. We don't have to manage it. We can be set free. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we're inviting Him to rule our lives. We now have a relationship where God comes and lives inside of us and changes us from the inside out. We accept that addictive and compulsive behaviors are sinful and wrong. James 4:8 says, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." When you take one step to Jesus, His step toward you makes victory possible.

We tend to look to the New Testament to tell us about Jesus, yet it was the Old Testament about which Jesus said, “the Scriptures point to me!” In The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament, Bible teacher Nancy Guthrie takes readers from Genesis through Malachi, shining the light of Christ on the promise of a descendent who will put an end to the curse of sin; the story of a father who offers up his son as a sacrifice; the symbol of a temple where people can meet with God; the prophecy of a servant who will suffer; the person of a king who will rule with righteousness—and so much more. Day by day throughout the year, readers will see the beauty of Christ in fresh new ways, creating a deeper understanding and appreciation for who Jesus is and what he accomplished through his Cross and Resurrection.

“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

The gospel really is the best news anyone will ever receive. So why do Christians shy away from talking about Jesus outside of church? And, when they do speak of Jesus, why do they often get a disinterested or scornful reponse? Mack Stiles offers a wealth of answers, ideas and stories in this heads-up, hands-on evangelism handbook. His creative strategies for reaching an ethnically, culturally, economically, educationally, geographically and ideologically diverse world with the best news ever are drawn directly from his own work as an evangelist in today's student world. In Speaking of Jesus he shows readers how to keep their eyes open for "divine appointments," how to approach others with a servant spirit, how to cross relational barriers, how to simply tell one's own story of faith, and how to answer questions with honesty and confidence. Speaking of Jesus may well be an Out of the Saltshaker for the 1990s and beyond. With contagious enthusiasm, Stiles stresses that evangelism isn't about exhibiting superhuman courage or perfecting specialized techniques or exercising extraordinary gifts. Instead, he shows that people of faith can use everyday situations and everyday language to pass on the simple--and simply wonderful--news about Jesus.

What is the “Christian life” all about? Studying the Bible, attending church, cultivating a prayer life, witnessing to others—those are all good. But is that really what Jesus has in mind? The answer, says Scot McKnight in One.Life, lies in Jesus’ words, “Follow me.” What does it look like to follow Jesus, and how will doing so change the way we live our life—our love.life, our justice.life, our peace.life, our community.life, our sex.life—everything about our life. One.Life will open your eyes to the full, compelling immensity of what it means to be a Christian. “Jesus offers to us a kingdom dream that transforms us to the very core of our being,” says Scot McKnight. “His vision is so big we are called to give our entire life to it. His vision is so big it swallows up our dreams.” Discover exactly what Jesus meant when he announced the arrival of God’s kingdom. Equipping you with a new understanding of that kingdom’s radical nature, One.Life shares profound, challenging, and practical insights on how to demonstrate its reality in your life. In many ways, what The Cost of Discipleship by Bonhoeffer challenged Christians to do in earlier generations, One.Life will do for a new generation. One.Life will call you beyond the flatlands of religiosity toward a kingdom vision that will shape everything you do.
