The Christian life can have as many heartbreaks as hallelujahs. Circumstances confuse us. Sin frustrates us. The devil likes to inflict pain on God’s children. Wouldn’t it be great if we could go to heaven as soon as we become Christians and skip the confusion, frustration, and pain? Sadly, it doesn’t work like that; we have to learn to overcome this world while awaiting the Second Coming. In 1–2 Thessalonians, we are equipped to do just that. Living & Longing for the Lord will guide you through Paul’s letters to Thessalonica in hopes of helping you become more like Jesus until he returns.

Living & Longing for the Lord: A Guide to 1-2 Thessalonians

Earl D. Edwards

"An urgent message for the exiled church." 1st Place, 2014 Christian Writers Awards Every day, it seems the world becomes increasingly hostile to Christianity. Values are being scuttled, faith is scorned, and God's people are being marginalized. These difficult times pose two questions to Christians: How can we be the "light of the world" in such abject darkness? And how can God still be in control of all things? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed ... He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. —Psalm 2:2-4 This book will help you answer these questions. More than a guide to Daniel, The Derision of Heaven is an urgent message for the exiled church. As you journey through the story and visions of Daniel, you will be awe-struck by the sovereign rule of God, emboldened to live a life that glorifies him, and encouraged to serve in the eternal Kingdom of Heaven.

The Derision of Heaven: A Guide to Daniel

Paul wrote his own inspired memoir when he penned 2 Corinthians. After enduring slander and criticism from some in Corinth who claimed to be apostles, Paul put his qualms aside and defended his commitment to Jesus and the church. In response to those who doubted Paul's legitimacy, he proudly proclaimed all that he had surrendered and suffered for his apostleship.In this 13-lesson study, Gary Hampton captures the passion of Paul and communicates the primary message of 2 Corinthians in a concise and focused fashion. Hampton presents Paul as he truly is—a spiritual father willing to do what is necessary to defend and provide for his children in Corinth.

Thoughts from the Mound: 52 Reflections on the Christian Life

Jenkins, Jeff A.

"Who ministers to the minister?" The man behind the pulpit is the communicator of God’s Word, the dispenser of heavenly wisdom that restores the fainting, encourages the weary, and motivates the determined. The preacher is a minister—a servant to God and to his fellow man. But who ministers to the minister? In Fit for the Pulpit, a host of preachers dispense comfort and counsel to their brothers in the trenches, men who often work in ministerial isolation as they seek to build up the body of Christ. Chris McCurley, the editor of this volume, has assembled ten different writers to cover a wide swath of material. In eleven chapters, McCurley and his colleagues manage to cover many of the areas wherein preachers need continual encouragement: time, relationships, discouragement, stress, criticism, family, finances, sin, attitude, and laziness. The authors of Fit for the Pulpit manage to minister grace to the minister by using candid, captivating language. The variety of the text and the timelessness of the themes make Fit for the Pulpit both readable and relatable. This book makes a valuable contribution to the catalog of homiletical literature—a contribution that accomplishes much, helping to make men fit for the pulpit.

The American family is busier than ever; yet, many fail to realize that this chronic busyness has disastrous implications for the child of God. When schedules become overcrowded, private devotion and worship are the first responsibilities to be neglected. Countless Christians are distracted from devotion by constant worldly influences. God’s people need a place of solace and retreat from the strains and stresses of life—a nest high above the cares of this world to serve as a spiritual haven.  In The Hawk’s Nest, Jacob Hawk provides 90 short devotionals that assist us in refocusing upon heavenly things. Using modern illustrations, Jacob has crafted each section to be short and easy to digest, capable of reading in a matter of minutes. These lessons, great for both individual and family devotion, help rescue God’s children from the grind of life and rest them in spiritual security.

Paul of Tarsus drafted the greatest declarations of Christ-honoring, God-glorifying joy—and he did so while in shackles for preaching the gospel. The message of joy proclaimed in Philippians is so deep in its consolation that it engulfs the depths of human suffering and so broad in its application that it covers all of human experience.Through this careful, 13-lesson exposition of Philippians, Gary Hampton's writing shines light upon the all-encompassing joy found by the side of Jesus. Hampton's study is the perfect companion to Paul's inspired work, developing important themes and directing attention back to the heart of the book—deep, satisfying joy experienced in a life shared with Christ.
