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.

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.

A Biblical Case for the Importance and Goodness of Being “Evangelical” The term  evangelical  is often poorly defined and frequently comes with cultural and political baggage. As the label has become more controversial, many Christians have begun to wonder if they should abandon it altogether. Michael Reeves argues from a global, scriptural, and historical perspective that, while it’s not necessary to discard the label altogether, Christians must return to the root of the term―the evangel , or “gospel”―in order to understand what it truly means. He identifies the theology of evangelicalism and its essential doctrine―the Father’s revelation in the Bible, the Son’s redemption in the gospel, and the Spirit’s regeneration of the heart―calling believers to stand with integrity as people of the gospel.

Many books are written by experts. This book isn't one of them, ' admits Tim Chester. 'It was written out of my own struggle to change. My long battle with particular issues set me searching the Bible as well as writings from the past. This book shares the amazing truths I discovered that now give me hope. 'For years I wondered if I'd ever overcome certain sins. And while I can't claim to have conquered sin - for no one ever can do - here are discoveries that have led to change in my life and in the lives of others.' You may be: A new Christian, struggling to change the habits of your former way of life. An older Christian, feeling you've plateaued: you grew quickly when you first believed but now your Christian life is much of a muchness. A Christian who's fallen into sin in a big way, wondering how you'll ever get back on track. Other books describe how we should live, but this book outlines how we can change. It's about hope: the hope we have in Jesus, hope for forgiveness, and hope for real and lasting change. God promises liberating grace and transforming power to his people.
