In the late 1800s, Charles Spurgeon spoke to
thousands each week at his Metropolitan Tabernacle in
London, England. His sermons and other writings still
speak to Christians today. Treasures from Charles
Spurgeon, brings together into one volume some of the
finest sermons, devotionals, and inspirational thoughts

| Heretics Orthodoxy |
Chesterton, Glbert K. |
This Nelson Royal Classic includes two famous
classical works by G.K. Chesterton, Heretics and
Orthodoxy. In response to the wrong doctrinal teaching
of many of his contemporaries, G.K. Chesterton takes
readers back to the "fundamentals" in Heretics. In the
compelling work,Orthodoxy, Chesterton provides a look at
what some have described as his own spiritual
autobiography. Of these two books, they describe some of
a Christian's core beliefs and capture the essence of
the Christian experience. They remain an essential part
of every Christian's library, and continue to challenge
the way we conceive our faith and our world.

| A Harmony of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles |
Crocket, William D |
This book makes the study of Samuel, Kings, and
Chronicles much easier, since it shows the parallel
passages next to each other on the same page. The pages
are conveniently divided into 2 larger columns, one for
the Judah, one for Israel. This method takes much of the
confusion out of trying to figure out what is going on
where and when, since the "overlaps" are shown
side-by-side. I think such a harmony in essential to
have available to the Christian community. I myself
teach Sunday School and have found it indispensible. My
only objection to this particular harmony is that Mr.
Crockett has seen fit to rearrange the chronology in
places (rather than just going straight through Samuel
and Kings, incorporating Chronicles where it overlaps).
His way of doing it has made it difficult for those
without harmonies to follow what it going on. |

|
| From God to Us - How we got our Bible |
Geisler, Norman |
Where did the Bible come from? How do we know the
right books are in the Bible? Does the Bible contain
errors? What are the oldest copies we have of the Bible?
How do we know that the Bible hasn't been changed over
the years? Why are there so many translations of the
Bible, and which one should I use? These are just some
of the important questions about the Bible that are
discussed in this book. Understanding basic facts about
the origin of the Bible is essential for every
Christian, but it can also be confusing and difficult.
Here two well-known scholars, authors of a more
technical book A General Introduction to the Bible,
explain simply and clearly these basic facts.
Inspiration, the biblical canon, major manuscripts,
textual criticism, early translations, and modern
versions are some of the major topics discussed. Careful
explanations of important points are given throughout,
as the entire field of biblical introduction is covered.
Clearly organized, the book is ideally suited for Bible
study groups, Sunday school classes, and personal study.
While writing for laymen without previous training, the
authors do not gloss over difficult and complex issues
when they arise. The nature of inspiration, the extent
of the canon, and the usefulness of modern versions are
all clearly discussed. |
| Approaching Hoofbeats |
Graham, Billy |
Billy Graham's book Approaching Hoofbeats, although
being nearly twenty years old (at the time of this
review), is as timely as the day it was first put to
paper. The world famous Evangelist studies some of the
famous symbols of John's Revelations and how they are
more important than ever in today's world and Church. I
admit that I approached the book with a bit of unease,
the Bible warns against listening to those that
interpret omens, and some believe that extends to those
who try to second guess the Bible and the timing of
prophecy events that Jesus said only God would know,
within the context of the fiction arena, as with the
Left Behind series or The Omen trilogy, I have no
problems - it's fantasy. However my worries soon
vanished as Mr. Graham, instead of belting out the
cliched 'the end is now', leaves the inevitable to God
and instead focuses on how Christians must remain
diligent in faith and practice (i.e. really walk the
Walk instead of puffing out our collective chests and
talking the Walk). The three chapters devoted to the
White Horse of Deception, I think, should be required
reading for any Christian, both new to the faith or
smugly tooling around with those "I'm gonna be raptured"
bumper stickers (remember, Pride cometh before the
fall!) next to the license plate. His firm stance on
promoting peace, giving selflessly to those in need, and
remaining true to scripture makes for an invigorating
read. Highly recommended.

| Jesus the Messiah |
Guthrie, Donald |
Stein, professor of New Testament at Bethel
Theological Seminary, here attempts to remove the study
of the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth from the realm
of historical-critical study that has marked the quest
for the historical Jesus from Albert Schweitzer to the
Jesus Seminar. Stein declares that Jesus' supernatural
nature, confirmed through Jesus' miracle-working
ability, is the proper starting point for a study of the
life of Christ. It is necessary, he argues, to speak of
the Jesus of faith rather than merely a historical
figure whose life may be dissected by the scalpel of
academic criticism. Rather than engage in polemics,
Stein very carefully examines every episode in the life
of Jesus, from his birth through his boyhood to his
death and resurrection, in a quest to understand the
life and ministry of Jesus in its first-century context
as well as its meaning for 20th-century culture. Stein's
thoroughly researched and well-informed study of the
life of Jesus offers a good introduction for any reader
interested in the historical Jesus.

| bible Panorama |
Hall, Terry |
What a book! I first read it 20 years ago when first
published, but have returned to it time and again. You
will learn so many things with astounding coherency.
Unique and extraordinary. I have studied many, many
books but have never saw one of this nature. It fills a
vacuum of Biblical education. The book gives a
bird's-eye view of the Bible. It shows how the Bible's
many facts dovetail to form the big picture of
Scripture. "Big picture" is the goal that is so well
served. It's like a defragmentation as facts are
assembled into sequence. Via words and many pictures
"Bible Panorama" shows how Bible truths interlock, thus
forming a mural of God's dealings with people. An
intelligent and visual combo; you would have to see to
understand the information delivered and Powerful
teaching techniques employed, and it stays with you for
years. You will be amazed at the richness and
pertinence. |

This has to be the most practical Bible study ever

There are, in reality, so many! Their lessons are as
timely now as they were in Biblical days. I feel as if I
understand more how God wants me to live my life, and
how I can glorify Him as only a woman can! |

| Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth |
Lindsey, Hal |
No one thinks much about the Devil anymore. In fact,
words like witchcraft and black magic have a strangely
medieval ring to our ears. Many people even think of
Satan as somehow comic -- and therefore harmless. Yet
amidst the tragedy and corruption of our own century, it
is ironic that many people doubt whether an active, evil
force really exists. But Satan is not dead, says author
Hal Lindsey; he has simply adopted a more modern style.
Spiritualism, astrology, "new age" religion -- all of
these and more are signs of the creeping influence of
the Father of Lies in our time. In this book, Hal
Lindsey, well-known speaker and author of the
best-selling Late Great Planet Earth, outlines a battle
plan for overcoming this very real and insidious enemy.
The times may change, but the conflict is as old as the
Garden of Eden. Whatever happened to old

| The Murder of Jesus |
MacArthur, John |
While history is overrun with stories of injustice
that stir us to anger and outrage, the death of Jesus
has become so familiar that often it fails to elicit
such a response. In The Murder of Jesus, John MacArthur
(The Gospel According to Jesus) writes that the
crucifixion of Jesus "was the greatest travesty of
justice the world will ever see... He was cruelly
executed by men who openly acknowledged His
faultlessness." At the same time, however, His death was
purposed by God to secure salvation for sinners.
In this historical narrative, MacArthur gives a complete
biblical account of the events leading up to and
including Jesus' crucifixion. This chronological
examination includes a detailed look at everything from
Judas's betrayal to Peter's denial to Christ's final
words on the cross and the significance of His atoning
work. In the midst of the drama, MacArthur draws out
personal points in regard to handling unjust suffering,
as well as examples of the disciples' faulty faith.
MacArthur's most poignant question, however, asks the
reader to investigate who is responsible for Jesus'
death. The answer might surprise you even while it
elevates you to a new level of doctrinal maturity by
shedding light on God's sovereignty during the most
devilish murder in history. |

MacArthur Jr., John F |
The bestselling author of The Gospel According to
Jesus, MacArthur claims that we have become a people who
shift blame, deny guilt, love self and excuse moral
failure in this compelling book. The result is
diminished integrity and the loss of our ability to
experience God's grace and forgiveness. This explosive
book presents biblical solutions to the problem of sin,
and leads readers from a life of blame and denial to the
true peace and freedom. |

| Dispensationalism - rightly Dividing the People of
God |
Mathison, Keith A |
Just like that book R.C. Sproul did on The Last Days
According to Jesus, one of his associates, Mr. Keith
Maithson, wrote another awesome and educational
resource, to help the church better understand this
unbiblical doctrine and its beliefs.
This book breaks down the Dispensationalist doctrine and
exposes each part of it as unbiblical heresy. This book
was another eye opener for me, as I read from its pages.
The church needs to get back to the Bible and stop
trying to let some Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey and Jack Van
Impe type trick them into thinking that we will not be
here during the tribulation.
After all, this writer, myself. Mr. Sproul and from
countless research, the historal church didn't and still
doesn't support that unbiblical view.
Anyone that would promte the unbiblical doctrine of
Dispensationalism, needs to read from their Bible again
and get this wonderful and educational resource.
I would highly recommend it, for those wanting to learn
more about this doctrine and how so many are being
tricked and deceived by its false teachings. |

| Knowing God |
Packer, J. I. |
A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the
Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian
J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted
by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic
conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first
things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention
to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love
His Word. What began as a number of consecutive articles
angled for "honest, no-nonsense readers who were fed up
with facile Christian verbiage" in 1973, Knowing God has
become a contemporary classic by creating "small studies
out of great subjects." Each chapter is so specific in
focus (covering topics such as the trinity, election,
God's wrath, and God's sovereignty), that each
succeeding chapter's theology seems to rival the next,
until one's mind is so expanded that one's entire view
of God has changed. Author Elizabeth Eliot wrote that
amid the lofty content Packer "puts the hay where the
sheep can reach it--plainly shows us ordinary folks what
it means to know God." Having rescued us from the
individual hunches of our ultra-tolerant theological
age, Packer points the reader to the true character of
God with his theological competence and compassionate
heart. The lazy and faint-hearted should be warned about
this timeless work--God is magnified, the sinner is
humbled, and the saint encouraged. -- |

Peterson, Eugene |
If you have ever felt discouraged by your own
imperfections in your Christian walk, read this book!
David is about as earthy and real as a person gets. As
another reviewer wrote, the chapter on the friendship
between David and Jonathan is also insightful and
valuable. Eugene Petersen explores the reality of
David's life situations and choices, and how his
relationship with God was affected by them. In so doing,
he highlights how God grows us and walks beside us
throughout all of the trials of life, even those we
bring upon ourselves. Ultimately, despite everything,
David remained "A man after God's own heart" proving the
existence and endurance of God's grace and acceptance,
and that there's hope for us all!

| The Church at the End of the 20th Century |
Schaeffer, Francis |
Schaeffer here calls upon the church to be real, to
live a real community and to live in real truth. Only
then can it minister to the young and have a rightful
place to answer honestly questions and challenges to
faith.
One of the strongest points he makes in this book is
that the church often is on the same side of an argument
as the "establishment elite" but it better make sure
that people in general and the young in particular don't
confuse being on the same side of an issue with actually
being an ally of that system.
|
| He is There and He is Not Silent |
Schaeffer, Francis |
Schaeffer deals with the fundamental spiritual
questions What do we know? and How do we know what we
know? He points to an infinite, personal God whom we can
come to know intimately.
|
| the God Who is There |
Schaeffer, Francis |
Schaeffer's book has changed my life and many around
me. Using a historical-cultural approach, Schaeffer
explains the development in ideology and practice of
what he calls "the line of despair," the divide between
the physical realm and the metaphysical realm that
prevents humanity from knowing about transcendent
things. But he is not only able to identify the line, he
also explains how to get beyond it.
I have lived for years in a society that has told me
that such things are unknowable, that they must be a
matter of belief only, but Schaeffer's book dispells all
such misconceptions. "The God Who is There" provides a
solid intellectual foundation for faith in a world of
shifting sand.

Franky Hits the Nail on the Head, May 30, 2006
Reviewer: Timothy Baron (Fort Wayne, IN) - See all my
reviews
If you're a Christian involved in the arts, you MUST
read this.
Even though the book was written back in 1981, Franky's
comments about contemporary evangelicalism indulging
themselves in propagandizing, sloganeering bad art with
the label "Christian" slapped on it is more relevant
that ever.
Franky attacks the false notion that if you're a
Christian and you are an artist that any art you do MUST
have an overt, and obvious "Christian" theme to it.
Creativity in and of itself is Godly, and good and
Evangelicals need not slap a cheap propagandizing slogan
on it to justify it.
Likewise, Franky tears down the false assumption that
some actions in the Christian life are "spiritual," (ie
. reading your Bible and praying) while others are
"non-spiritual" (ie playing with your kids.) All of the
Christian life is spiritual.
I can't recommend this book enough!

| Insight |
sherrill, John L. |
John Sherrill was a skeptic as far as miracles were
concerned. He lived in a suburb with his family,
attended a mainstream church, and although he believed
in the power of the Holy Spirit, he had never seen it
manifested. Then the magazine he worked for sent him to
investigate a strange biblical event that was cropping
up across the country: the phenomenon of speaking in
tongues. His search led him on an adventure that was to
have profound personal results.
Since it was first published in 1964, They Speak with
Other Tongues has sold over two and a half million
copies. This Chosen classic chronicles the discovery of
an investigative reporter that would ultimately change
his life. As Sherrill relates the historical and
biblical background of speaking in tongues, examines
significant contemporary events, and shares his personal
experience, he gives valuable insight into this gift of
the Holy Spirit.

| There Really is a Difference |
Showerc, Renald |
This volume focuses on the differences between the
Covenant and Dispensational systems of theology and
examines their diverse approaches to such issues as:
God’s ultimate purpose for history, God’s program for
the nation of Israel, the significance of several key
biblical covenants, the nature and beginning of the
church, and the Christians’ relationship to the Mosaic
Law and grace.
It explores the differences between the premillennial,
amillennial, and postmillennial views of the Kingdom of
God and presents an apology for
dispensational-premillennial system of theology. The
book is written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical
language and has received favorable response form lay
people, pastors, students, and reviewers.

| Knowing the Face of God |
Stafford, Tim |
In a deeply honest book, Stafford (NIV Student
Bible) acknowledges the great divide within evangelical
Christianity between the idea of a personal relationship
with God and the practice of such a relationship. Can
God, in fact, be known as we know our family and
friends? Stafford explores the dynamics of a variety of
personal relationships from those of conversation and
meals to those of family and work in order to
demonstrate that a relationship with God can, indeed, be
modeled on our daily human ones. In the end, however, he
admits that, try as we might, our efforts to see the
face of God in this world are always frustrated and
incomplete. This conclusion, sober as it is, suggests
that Stafford's book will be popular, in all
probability, with Christians who are seeking
alternatives to the more saccharine strands of New Age
spirituality.

Stott, John |
"If Jesus was not God in human flesh, Christianity
is exploded," writes John Stott. "We are left with just
another religion with some beautiful ideas and noble
ethics; its unique distinction has gone."
If Jesus is not who he said he was, and if he did not do
what he said he had come to do, the whole superstructure
of Christianity crumbles in ruins to the ground. Is it
plausible that Jesus was truly divine? And what might
this mean for us?
John Stott's clear, classic statement examines the
historical facts on which Christianity stands. Here is a

Now in this insightful book John Stott, known worldwide

much to humble and shame us, much to warn us of the

| The Pursuit of God |
Tozer, A. W. |
I would say that this is one of my favorite books.
Tozer communicates in a way that makes you think. He
knows how to make you get you thinking about your
'religious' ways and pursue the living God. This man can
communicate in a way that is not over your head, but yet
takes you deep. If you haven't read this book and would
like to have a more intimate relationship with Him, this
book is a very good place to start as it will direct you
to the God of the Word.

| How to be Filled With the Holy Spirit |
tozer, Q. W. |
This booklet is only 58 pages long, but it may
easily be said that no author save the prophets,
apostles and reformers have packed so much power into so
small a space. There are a multiplicity of theories on
"how to be filled with the Holy Spirit," but if you are
weary of formulas and three-step approaches from this
great mass of experience-oriented teachers then this
book is for you. Tozer's understanding is firmly rooted
in the holy scripture and is both fully divine and
piercingly practical. Be drawn into the presence of God
and know the sweet, fragrant power and peace of His Holy
Spirit as you are led by this great saint--one who lived
and walked in the presence of God and the power of the
Spirit. |

| Be Diligent |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
Mark is the perfect Gospel for space-age people on
the go. In this study, Dr. Wiersbe focuses on Jesus
Christ the Servant, always on the move, always doing the
Father's will and serving others. Mark is the ideal
Gospel for busy people who want to discover how to make
their lives count for God.
Studying Mark's intensely dramatic account of the life
and ministry of Jesus Christ will help you appreciate
Him as God's Ideal Servant. You will be motivated and
encouraged in your own ministry for the Lord . . . and
helped increasingly to BE DILIGENT!

| Be Alive |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
During the months that I have been studying the
Gospel of John and writing this book, I have felt like a
man standing on holy ground. The more I studied and
wrote, the more inadequate I felt. No wonder the great
Greek scholar Dr. A.T. Robertson called the Gospel of
John "the profoundest book in the world."
There is not space in these studies to plumb the depths,
but I have tried to present the basic teachings of this
marvelous book. The Gospel of John is simple enough for
a child to wade in, but deep enough for the scholar and
the most seasoned saint to swim in.
This book is the first of two volumes devoted to the
Gospel of John. The second one, focusing on chapters
13-21, will follow.
Please come to this book with the heart and mind of a
worshiper. John did not simply write a book; he painted
exciting pictures. These pages are filled with images
such as the Lamb, the Door, the Shepherd, the new birth,
the light and darkness, the Water of Life, bread,
blindness, seeds, and dozens more. Use your "sanctified
imagination" as you study and the Gospel of John will
become a new book to you. And, remember, you are not
studying a book--you are seeing a Person. "And we beheld
His glory . . . full of grace and truth" (John 1:14).

| Be Transformed |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
Yes, they became transformed men, those original
disciples. In the opening chapters of John's Gospel, you
see a group of men who were struggling with their faith
and occasionally stumbling. But after Christ's death and
resurrection, things changed--because they became
transformed by His power and His Word.
In completing his study of John's Gospel (see Be Alive
for John 1-12). Dr. Warren Wiersbe explains how you can
become a transformed person. |
| Be Dynamic |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
POWER!
Power is the word that best describes the Christians in
the Book of Acts. They were a dynamic people in a
dynamic church...and what they said and did changed
their world.
In these studies, Dr. Wiersbe helps you understand
• The ministry of the Spirit in the church
• How to be an effective witness for Christ
• How to turn persecution into blessing
• How to understand and solve church problems
The Holy Spirit if God is with us today, and His
triumphant power is available to God’s people. The
invitation to you is to yield to the Spirit andBE
DYNAMIC!

| Be Wise |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
The Christians in Corinth prided themselves in their
spiritual gifts and knowledge. Yet something was
radically wrong with their personal lives and with their
local assembly.
Paul had what they needed--true spiritual wisdom. Not
the wisdom of the world, but the wisdom that comes only
from God.
We need this same wisdom today, and this letter is a
good place to start discovering it. Paul tells us how to
be wise about the message and the ministry of the
Gospel, so that we will not get trapped into "fan clubs"
for religious leaders. He tells us what kind of order we
should have in our worship and how we should discover
and develop our spiritual gifts. He also tells us how to
keep our lives clean so that we glorify God and escape
the pollutions of the world.
In this brief expository study, we obviously cannot deal
with all the challenging details of a large epistle like
1 Corinthians. It is my aim to explain the main lessons
of the letter and to make them practical for our lives
and our local churches. May the Lord assist us in
receiving His spiritual wisdom and applying it
personally.

| Be Encouraged |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
"WE ARE TROUBLED...
yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in
despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but
not destroyed" (2 Cor. 4:8-9).
People who fight battles and carry burdens are the best
candidates to receive blessings. That's what Paul told
the downhearted Corinthians. They often felt troubled
and perplexed, just as believers do today.
But God didn't desert them - and He won't desert us
either. He comforts His hurting children as only "the
God of all comfort" can.
This study of 2 Corinthians shows how God can turn your
trials into triumphs and your sufferings into service.

| Be Free |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
How would you finish this sentence?
If I want to be a really good Christian, I must....
How you would finish that sentence is critical. Finish
it incorrectly, as many people do, and you fall into the
same trap that ensnared first-century Christians in
Galatia.
This expository study of Galatians, Paul's first
epistle, can help you complete the sentence correctly.
And it will clearly tell you one way not to complete it.
It's great to be a Christian.
It's even better to be a really good Christian and at
the same time BE FREE!

| Be Rich |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
What wealth that won't vanish?
The cost of living index frightens most of us. Prices go
up, up, up. The value of money does down, down, down.
Earthy wealth seems more and more transient. But Be Rich
tells you where to find wealth that can change your
life, and change your attitude toward things that the
world calls riches. "People today know the price of
everything--and the value of nothing." says Dr. Wiersbe.
This BE books brings you:
• A study of the Christian home as it relates the work
of the Holy Spirit
• A study of the strategy of Satan, and how a Christian
can be victorious over him
• A study of each Christian's responsibility, in light
of his great wealth in Christ
You can truly BE RICH
|
| Be Joyful |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
Jesus said: "These things I have spoken unto you,
that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might
be full" (John 15:11).
But perhaps you aren't exactly overflowing with joy. If
you could stand a little more joy--or even a lot
more!--Then Dr. Warren Wiersbe has a message for you. In
this book he:
• Unlocks the treasures of the Apostle Paul's "joy
epistle" to the Philippians
• Pinpoints the joy-stealers
• Shows why you don't need to worry
• Outlines the secret of contentment
Author Wiersbe says: "If you master . . . Philippians,
then you should enjoy a happy Christian life!" This
book, then, could be a turning point for you. Discover
the secret of joy, walk out into the sunshine and BE
JOYFUL!

| Be Complete |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
You hear about horoscopes, yoga, transcendental
meditation, and a host of other old and new
philosophies. Do you need these things? Not if you have
Jesus Christ and He is preeminent in your life.
If you're in Jesus Christ, you are complete! Too often
today we try to mix manmade philosophies and legalistic
rules with the Gospel. The Colossians Christians faced a
similar dilemma. But Paul tenderly corrected their
erring ways. He warned against the temptation to look
for spiritual fulfillment from sources other than God.
As he did with the Colossians, the Apostle Paul calls
you to BE COMPLETE in Christ!

| Be Ready |
Wiersbe, warren W. |
Is the coming of the Lord near? Must any signs take
place before he can return?
Must God's pepole go through the Tribulation before
Christ can return?
These are important questions dealt with in 1 and 2
Thessalonians. But Dr. Warren Wiersbe focuses on the
real message of these two Pauline epistles by showing
how we need to Be Ready with prepared lives, with a
prepared church. From 1 thessalonians, the aithor
discusses how to walk...
• in holiness
• in harmony
• in honesty
• in hope
• in helpfulness
From 2 Thessalonians...
• encouragement in suffering
• enlightenment in teaching
• enablement in living
|
| Be Confident |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
When the Book of Hebrews was penned, the ages were
colliding and society seemed to be shaking. Hebrews was
written to Christians who were wondering what was going
on and what they could do about it. As the stability of
the old was passing away, their faith was wavering.
One major message of Hebrews is BE CONFIDENT! God is
shaking things so you might learn to live by faith and
not by sight. He wants to build your life on the
permanence of the eternal, not on the instability of the
temporal.
Look to Jesus Christ and BE CONFIDENT!
Our ever-living High Priest in heaven is able to see us
through our difficult and demanding days too. "The just
shall live by faith!"
|
| Be Mature |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
Born Again Is Only the Beginning!
Yes, having Christ as your personal Savior is only the
beginning. After that, you have to grow up! Many
problems in our lives are caused by spiritual
immaturity. God wants us to grow up, not just grow old.
And He has given us the formula for maturity in the
Epistle of James.
In discussing Christian matuity, Dr. Wiersbe shows you:
• How to learn to be patient
• How to overcome temptation
• How to practice what the Bible teaches
• How to learn to control the tongue
• How to make peace rather than trouble
• How to pray and get resultsIt's all in BE MATURE
Not everybody who grows old, grows up. There is a vast
difference between age and maturity. Ideally, the older
we are, the more mature we should be; but too often the
ideal does not become the real.
The result is problems-problems in personal lives, in
homes, and in churches. As a pastor, I see more problems
in these areas caused by immaturity than by anything
else. If Christians would just grow up, they would
become victors instead of victims.
The Epistle of James was written to help us understand
and attain spiritual maturity: "...that ye may be
perfect and entire, wanting nothing" (James 1:4b). I
like the way J. B. Phillips puts it: " . . . and you
will find you have become men of mature character, men
of integrity with no weak spots."
|
| Be Victorious |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
"To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit
with Me on My throne" (Rev. 3:21).
The Book of Revelation is the book of the throne. Its
message is that the Lamb has conquered and all who trust
Him are overcomers. No matter how dark the day, no
matter how sever the opposition, God's people can BE
VICTORIOUS! In this expository survey of Revelation,
Warren Wiersbe clearly illustrates that prophecy is
practical. The Apostle John wrote this New Testament
book to encourage suffering saints, not only in his own
day, but in every era of church history. It's time to
start living in the light of Christ's return and BE
VICTORIOUS

| Be Alert |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
Don't Be Fooled by the Merchandisers of Error!
Some people who claim to represent the truth are really
merchandisers of error. They deceive, mock, and defile,
as their mouths speak "great swelling words" (Jude 16).
• Who are these false teachers?
• How can you recognize them?
Based on 2 Peter, 2 and 3 John, and Jude, this book will
help you sharpen your spiritual discernment. Join Dr.
Wiersbe as he uncovers the disguises of today's
religious impostors. Religious deception is on the rise.
Don't be fooled by the masquerade.

| Be Real |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
How to Be the Person God Wants You to Be
• Because how you live means more than what you say
• Because hypocrisy and hide-and-seek games with
worldliness hurt you and those around you
• Because many feelings that people “fall into” -
sentimentality, emotionalism, and lust - aren’t love
• Because real faith must be based on time-tested truth
Here’s a book, based on the First Epistle of John, that
shows you how to be the person you know God wants you to
be.
BE REAL
|
| Be Hopeful |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
How to Win When Fiery Trials Come
The people who first read Peter's epistle were familiar
with suffering and persecution because of their loyalty
to Christ. But Peter warned that something new would
soon happen: a "fiery trial" of official persecution was
about to begin. Peter wanted to tell them how they could
be triumphant for the glory of God. We can expect to
suffer for our faith, but we can also be hopeful. God's
grace is ours for the asking! Suffering in the will of
God leads to the glory of God.
We can prepare for the best of God's blessings rather
than fear the worst of man's hatred.
|
| Be Daring |
Wiersbe, Warren W. |
In this practical study of Acts 13-28, Dr. Wiersbe
explains how God equips and calls ordinary people to do
extraordinary tasks. He answers such questions as:
• What is a call to service?
• How does God equip His servants?
• How can I determine His will for my life?
• What is God's program for world outreach?
Don't just watch what's happening! Be a dynamic part of
the excitement and action of Christian service right
where you are. Yes, it's time to BE DARING.
