Apostle Paul wrote: "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (Phil. 4:4). Apostle Paul was greatly persecuted in the course of his ministry; and someone may not expect him to make such a statement. It is very important to God that His children rejoice always in Him. Think about it! The Lord, through Paul, stressed its importance by repeating it. The devil will want us to be stressed by different kinds of things, so that he can steal our joy away from us. Have you allowed the devil to steal your joy? How did you allow him to steal it? Is it through sin and indulgence? Is it through the pursuit of this world's cares? Is it through worries, doubt, depression, or sorrow? The remembrance that we have the host of Heaven on our side should keep us cheered up. God the Father is for us; Jesus Christ is with us; the Holy Spirit is in us and upon us; the Word of God is our defensive and offensive armour; and the angels of God minister for us. We should never allow anything to steal our joy from us.
Many of us have endless demands and stifling daily routines. Learn why Sabbath is essential to our full humanity and faith, a rhythm of work and rest set by God that if restored to our lives will bring prolonged life, enriched relationships, increased fruitfulness, and abundant joy. We are waylaid by endless demands and stifling routines. Even our vacations have a panicky, task-like edge to them. “If I only had more time,” is the mantra of our age. But is this the real problem?

In The Rest of God, you’ll: Form a deeper relationship with God by understanding Sabbath’s true purpose Learn how Sabbath allows us to live more fully into our status as free people, released from the grueling, incessant demands of life Connect Sabbath to the ultimate rest—heaven Receive practical advice for restoring Sabbath in your life With this book, Buchanan reminds us that Sabbath is about much more than going to church on Sunday. It's about the much-needed time to be still. The gift of Sabbath is essential to our full humanity and faith. God, knowing that and knowing how easily we might neglect it, made it a command. Begin your own journey of restoration and renewal!

"The question of why God would allow pain and suffering in the world has vexed believers and nonbelievers forever. In Walking with God through Pain and Suffering, Timothy Keller takes on this enduring issue and shows that there is meaning and reason behind pain and suffering, making a forceful and groundbreaking case that this essential part of the human experience can be overcome only by understanding our relationship with God. Using biblical wisdom and personal stories of overcoming adversity, Keller brings a much-needed, fresh viewpoint to this important issue."--Back cover
Volumes have been written about how to be happy. Countless writers from every religion and background have thrown in their own two cents worth on the subject, "How To Live a Happy Life". If there are a thousand different books out there that have "the answer", what's different about this one? Simply this: The book you hold in your hands doesn't express the opinions of man but the Word of God. Frankly, I don't believe a person can be truly joyful without Christ and a solid foundation in the Bible. But knowing that the Bible tells us we have a happy Father who wants happy children makes all the difference in the world. Knowing that Christ gave us His Word so that "My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete" (John 15:11) gives a person reason to hope for a joy-filled life. Knowing that the Bible tells us (actually, commands us) to "rejoice in the Lord always" (Philippians 4:4) takes us from the emotional rollercoaster ride of ups and downs and sets us in heavenly places where in His Presence is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). This is the second of two volumes written on the subject, "You Can Rejoice in the Lord Always". IS such a thing truly possible? And if so, how? The condensed answer is summarized in the subtitle: "Because God is Real and the Bible is True". The expanded explanation is found in the pages of this book. Enjoy!
There are many books on preaching, but few, if any, on the theology of preaching. Yet, whether it is recognized or not, theology underlies any preaching that claims to be biblical. In Speaking God's Words Peter Adam builds confidence in preaching by laying a firm theological foundation for it. Preaching rests upon three great pillars: God has spoken, his words are now recorded in Scripture and he commissions people "to explain, preach and teach his written words to their contemporaries." Throughout the book, using well-chosen illustrations, Dr Adam encourages preachers to give themselves to the demanding yet thrilling task of "preaching God's words" today.
