DOWNLOAD EBOOKBefore ascending into Heaven, Jesus commissioned all his followers to spread the Gospel throughout the world. That mission did not just apply to those present at that time. It applies to all Christians. It is the duty of every Christian to tell others about Christ. But this should not be viewed as some burdensome task. We should be eager to share the news of salvation through Jesus because of the change it has brought to our circumstances and because of the potential it has to change the lives of others. And yet so many Christians are reluctant to tell others about their faith. There are many sources of this reluctance. Modern society has conditioned us to compartmentalize our faith, making it an ever more private part of our lives. Some of us have simply allowed ourselves to get too busy to take the time for spreading the gospel. Many of us simply want to avoid confrontations and fear that speaking about religion will only lead to an argument and draw unwanted attention to ourselves. Many of us simply just don't know how to go about starting the conversation in the first place. The purpose of this book is to prepare you for a conversation with a non-Christian about Jesus. I will attempt to walk you through the conversation step by step using effective statements and answers to potential questions. It is my hope that this script will help to build your confidence so that you will feel more comfortable sharing your faith with others.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1925, Essae Martha Culver, a California librarian, arrived in Louisiana to direct a three-year project funded by the Carnegie Corporation that aimed to introduce public libraries to rural populations. Culver purchased a round-trip ticket, but she never used the second half. Instead, she stayed in Louisiana the rest of her life, working tirelessly to see libraries established in every parish by 1969. In Spreading the Gospel of Books, Florence M. Jumonville chronicles the impressive, colorful history of Louisiana parish libraries and the State Library of Louisiana. She draws upon Culver’s journals and library reports, in addition to correspondence, scrapbooks, and State Library internal documents, and includes photos from five decades, many never before published. The campaign to persuade individual parishes to financially support a library of their own was a long, uphill pull through poverty and politics, flood and famine, discouragement and depression, war and bureaucracy, ignorance and prejudice. Culver credited success to the citizens, whose thirst for books and embrace of the idea of a library inspired perseverance. In time, Culver’s Louisiana plan served as an exemplar of library development elsewhere in the United States as well as abroad. Culver touched the lives of generations of Louisianians who have never heard her name. Spreading the Gospel of Books is her story, along with that of colleagues and supporters, of making the dream of library service come true for all.
God Is the Gospel

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGod, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 This book is a cry from the heart of John Piper. He is pleading that God himself, as revealed in Christ's death and resurrection, is the ultimate and greatest gift of the gospel. None of Christ's gospel deeds and none of our gospel blessings are good news except as means of seeing and savoring the glory of Christ. Forgiveness is good news because it opens the way to the enjoyment of God himself. Justification is good news because it wins access to the presence and pleasures of God himself. Eternal life is good news because it becomes the everlasting enjoyment of Christ. All God's gifts are loving only to the degree that they lead us to God himself. That is what God's love is: his commitment to do everything necessary (most painfully the death of his only Son) to enthrall us with what is most deeply and durably satisfying-namely, himself. Saturated with Scripture, centered on the cross, and seriously joyful, this book leads us to satisfaction for the deep hungers of the soul. It touches us at the root of life where practical transformation gets its daily power. It awakens our longing for Christ and opens our eyes to his beauty. Piper writes for the soul-thirsty who have turned away empty and in desperation from the mirage of methodology. He invites us to slow down and drink from a deeper spring. "This is eternal life," Jesus said, "that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." This is what makes the gospel-and this book-good news.
