We worship a God who is absolutely worthy of our trust in every area of life; but sometimes we allow the longings of our hearts to get the best of us, and we become fearful, not trusting Him with our future. This is a special area of temptation for single girls as they await the unfolding of God s will for their lives in regard to marriage.
 As a relief from these worries, author Jennifer Lamp Neef suggests wholehearted devotion to the Lord; treating Him Who calls Himself our husband (Isa. 54) as such, and knowing that in a deeper relationship with the Lord, we can discover how much more He treasures and loves us right now than any future husband ever will be able to. Don t lose the opportunity, Jennifer says, to discover the rewards of loving and growing closer to Him in this remarkable, wonderful and fleeting season of life we call singleness.

A lot has happened since The Complete Book of Everyday Christianity was first published in 1997 by IVP. We felt that for the book to be really useful for the reader today, we had to add a few critical articles. Some of them include climate change, global financial crisis, restorative justice, social media, and shame. Here, in one book, is the complete guide you need for every part of your life -- family, money, relationships, job, church, entertainment and more. This sound, biblical handbook shows you how to resolve conflicts biblically, understand aging, find God in the ordinary aspects of life, work effectively with committees, discover the benefits of walking, choose the best radio stations to listen to, keep shopping under control, avoid pitfalls of grandparenting, think critically about movies, and much more.

The Hebrew root word for 'work' is also the root word for 'service', particularly service to God in worship. By combining the two English words, 'work' and 'worship', I hope to challenge people to integrate their faith and work. Work does not just refer to what is done in paid employment. I believe God sees work as any purposeful activity requiring focus and effort. It could be housework, schoolwork, caring for children or parents, study, paid work, voluntary work, etc. - Kara Martin In her book, Kara explores the biblical view of work, provides six spiritual disciplines to integrate faith and work, shares practical wisdom on how to make a difference in the workplace, and offers ideas to help churches better equip their congregations to live out their faith at work.

Often, the approach to church small groups is functional. They are seen as part of a structure that serves a key function -- building community. Popular author and preacher Soo-Inn Tan posits that this often results in the small groups missing out on the most critical relationship, the one they should have with the risen Christ. While it is important to structure small-group meetings, it is more important to understand how all these practices relate to the fact that the risen Christ is in the midst of the meeting.

Though the Christian faith is believed to have reached the shores of China way back in the 8th century, it is still generally perceived as a foreign or Western religion to many Cultural Chinese. How does this perception of Christianity as a foreign approach to spirituality advance or hinder our mission of making Cultural Chinese disciples of Christ? Has this negative reputation of the Christian faith changed today among Mainland Chinese? While the church in China has grown exponentially in the last few decades, the question still remains - can we find common ground between the Christian faith and the Chinese culture? What about Diaspora Chinese globally? Is it truly the case that Jesus and his teachings are alien to the Cultural Chinese mind? This book seeks to present the Gospel in a way that seamlessly corresponds with Confucius's ideals for humanity but with a realistic solution. This means a Cultural Chinese can be a follower of Christ without having to shed his ethnic identity. In fact, by choosing the path of Jesus, the uniqueness of one's culture and ethnicity is affirmed, as the Lord of Heaven is the Creator of all. There will be no identity dilemma -- one can be a Chinese and a Christian with honor.

"We all know how easy it is to lose concentration and let our attention wander. In the middle of talking to a friend, you suddenly realise you have not been listening at all and have lost the thread of the conversation because you were miles away. It happens so easily, and far too frequently, this problem of inattentiveness. This also happens in the spiritual life. God speaks to us but we fail to recognise his voice. He has things to teach us, but our minds are elsewhere and we are not attuned to his whisper. He wants to lead us and guide us, but we miss his gentle promptings. He is present all around us, yet we don't notice his approach or register his nearness. This robs us of a greater depth in our relationship with him. The purpose of this book is to help you become more consistently aware of God, to train your ear to hear his voice, and your eye to see what he is doing. I am a learner just as you are, and I have my own struggles with spiritual attentiveness, but I want to grow and improve so that I can serve God more eectively. I'm sure you do as well, which is why you are reading this book." - from the Introduction
