Book excerpt: The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

Book excerpt: “I didn’t think he’d do it. I really didn’t think he would. I thought he’d say, whoa, hold on, wait a minute. We made a deal, remember, the land, the blessing, the nation, the descendants as numerous as the sands on the shore and the stars in the sky.” So begins James Goodman’s original and urgent encounter with one of the most compelling and resonant stories ever told—God’s command to Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. A mere nineteen lines in the book of Genesis, it rests at the heart of the history, literature, theology, and sacred rituals of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. For more than two millennia, people throughout the world have grappled with the troubling questions about sacrifice, authority, obedience, and faith to which the story gives rise. Writing from the vantage of “a reader, a son, a Jew, a father, a skeptic, a historian, a lover of stories, and a writer,” Goodman gives us an enthralling narrative history that moves from its biblical origins to its place in the cultures and faiths of our time. He introduces us to the commentary of Second Temple sages, rabbis and priests of the late antiquity, and early Islamic exegetes (some of whom imagined that Ishmael was the nearly sacrificed son). He examines Syriac hymns (in which Sarah stars), Hebrew chronicles of the First Crusade (in which Isaac often dies), and medieval English mystery plays. He looks at the art of Europe’s golden age, the philosophy of Kant and Kierkegaard, and the panoply of twentieth-century interpretation, sacred and profane, including the work of Bob Dylan, Elie Wiesel, and A. B. Yehoshua. In illuminating how so many others have understood this story, Goodman tells a gripping and provocative story of his own.

Book excerpt: Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

Steve Nye writes for an alumni magazine and his long-term relationship is on the steady path to marriage. But his quiet life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a phone call from his mother. His father attacked her and has been committed to a mental asylum. The doctor says he’s suffering from dementia. But Steve’s father seems so calm, clear-eyed, and perfectly lucid when he whispers, “I killed her…” Is it simply another symptom of delusion and madness? To find the answer, Steve investigates the cryptic message leading him down a terrifying path of his own making—and of his own nightmares....

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered why God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son in Genesis 22?The Angel stopped Abraham showing God did not intend for him to kill Isaac, but what did God desire? God wanted to test Abraham, and readers will discover the account primarily reveals:¿In human terms what God would do with His Son two thousand years later¿The many ways Abraham and Isaac are a picture of God and His Son¿The tremendous love of God shown through Christ's sacrificeGenesis 22 is not primarily about Abraham and Isaac. God and Jesus are the true and greater Father and Son shining forth in the account. Abraham did not spare his son but was willing to deliver him up for God. Likewise, God "did not spare His Son, but delivered Him up for us all" (Romans 8:32).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's estimated that there's somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 billion Christians in the world. Yet Jesus tells us (chapter 13 of the book): "The way is narrow that leads to life, and only a few ever find it." {Matthew 7:14} Surely you must see that 2 billion is a far cry from "only a few." And surely we would all be wise to "examine ourselves" (2 Cor. 13:5) to see if we truly believe Jesus when He tells us, "the way is narrow that leads to life." He also tells us, "they that worship him must worship him in truth." John 4:24 (chapter 4 of the book). He at the same time warns us, through one of His prophets, "My people... refuse to stand up for truth." {Jeremiah 9:3 NLT} And I must tell you, that's still applies today: "A time is coming (that time is no longer coming, it's here) when people will no longer listen to right teaching... They will reject the truth." {2 Timothy 4:3, 4 NLT, NIV} And we must make absolutely certain we're not one of those "people that reject the truth." The book contains 20 chapters, each one based on a verse by Jesus. It's packed full of many wonderful Bible passages and it presents profoundly important truths in a clear, convincing, and simple manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it's hard to fathom, an estimated 27.4 million children are growing up without their biological father. This leads to an increased risk of suicide, substance abuse, and potential criminal activity. As shocking as this may be, there are some things that young men and their families can do to stop this vicious cycle and live a successful and fulfilling life. Without a Father is able to show young men, single mothers, and community leaders and mentors how to help young men navigate their way through a world that sometimes seems to be working against them. More so, author Kenny Joyner shows all men that they have value and that their presence in a child's life matters more than they may understand. Whether you're a fatherless son looking for inspiration from a man who walked in your shoes, a single mother trying to get a peek inside your son's head and heart, or an absentee father working to cultivate a relationship with their child, Without a Father can give you the necessary tools and guidance you need. In the book, you'll discover how to take the experiences you have to overcome obstacles and better your life while also learning key principles to help you become the success you're destined to be. Finally, Joyner teaches you how faith works with you and in you to combat fears, insecurities, and shortcomings that may be holding you back.
