Tim Chester Boeken

Tim Chester en Steve Timmis gaan terug naar de basis als het gaat om kerk-zijn. Aan de hand van een aantal principes proberen zij te ontdekken hoe een gemeente die het Evangelie centraal stelt er in de praktijk uit zou moeten zien. Het boek bestaat uit drie delen: evangelisatie heeft prioriteit, mensen krijgen prioriteit en het belang van de gemeenschap. In hun voorwoord schrijven de auteurs: 'Veel kerken zijn in meerdere of mindere mate in de val gelopen van de acceptatie en instandhouding van eigen christelijke tradities. Ze zijn er niet in geslaagd om in beweging te blijven en open te staan voor verandering die de zaak van het Evangelie dient. (...)Veel gemeenten hebben, om wat voor reden dan ook, de kern uit het oog verloren.' In het boek worden vragen gesteld die leiden naar een goede doordenking van Gods bedoeling en naar nieuwe keuzes. Het is zeker ook geschikt voor groepsbespreking in het kader van gemeente-opbouw.

In this brief and winsome book, Michael Reeves presents an introduction to the Christian faith that is rooted in the triune God. He takes cues from preachers and teachers down through the ages, setting key doctrines of creation, the person and work of Christ, and life in the Spirit into a simple framework of the Christian life.

Pornography is everywhere. Far too many Christians regularly use and are addicted to it, warping their perception of sexuality and relationships, destroying marriages and ministries. But Christians who struggle with porn also long for change. When we realize the unfulfilling emptiness of porn, we come to yearn for freedom from it. But what do we do? Tim Chester says that we can be captured by a better vision--a liberating confidence that God offers more than pornography does. Moving beyond pat answers or mere willpower, Chester offers spiritual, practical and corporate resources for living porn free. He exposes the false promises of porn and redirects us to the true promises of God. With assurance of God's grace and cleansing power, we can change our desires and escape the traps and temptations of pornography. However great the challenge, God's grace is even greater. And we can come to a place where we no longer feel the need to use porn. Close the window on porn. And open the door to freedom, integrity and new life.

In many ways, Easter is supposed to be the high-point of the year for Christians, where we remember the three days that changed history for ever. But for many of us, the day quickly comes and goes without us really feeling any different. Yet for centuries Christians around the world have marked the season of Lentthe forty days leading up to Easteras a way of reflecting on their need for forgiveness and anticipating Christ's work on the cross. These daily readings present deep theology in a concise and understandable way, allowing you to soak up the real meaning of Christ's death and resurrection. Each week, you'll read through one or two chapters of John's Gospel. The Sunday reading provides an introduction to the passage as a whole, while the rest of the week's reflections work through it in smaller sections. A carefully selected prayerdrawn from the rich work of writers throughout church historyis included each day. So this Lent, prepare your heart with 47 days of short and st

This introduction to Spurgeon's life and ministry--organized around themes such as the centrality of Christ and the empowerment of the Spirit--will encourage readers to live for God's glory.

In this addition to the Union series, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves argue that an individual's relationship with God influences their evangelism and missions more than anything else.

In this book, Michael Reeves calls believers to see God as the object of their fear--a fear marked not by anxiety but by reverence and awe.

This book argues from Scripture that godly fear is the opposite of being afraid of God or his punishment, as if he were a tyrant. Instead, it is the intensity of the saints' love for, delight in, and enjoyment of all that God is.

Shows how this foundational book foreshadows Christ, points to the new creation, and calls us to radical discipleship.
