Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As believers, our walk with God is motivated by hope-not the bland, vague notion most people have, but the expectation of an exotic, pleasurable inheritance that guides us and fires our passion...or, at least, should. Ted Dekker has written an exposé on the death of pleasure within the Church. Because many of us have set aside hope and the inspired imagination that drives it, Dekker says we have been lulled into a slumber of boredom, even despondency. Our faith wanes, the joy at having been liberated fades, and we feel powerless. The Slumber of Christianity explores what robs us of happiness and how we can rediscover it and live lives that rekindle hope. The pursuit of pleasure is a gift to all humans-a function of the Creator himself, who is bent upon our happiness. It's time for Christians to reclaim our inheritance of pleasure. The Slumber of Christianity will inflame hearts toward full-fledged, mind-expanding encounters with hope, through the imagination.

Book excerpt: The Church has been lulled to sleep for generations by the tickling of her ears, with the masterful strokes of watered down doctrines that are powerless to change anything or anyone! The Church must arise in this critical hour and pursue uprightness. Thousands are leaving the Church daily. The Church has a divorce rate that rivals the world! Scores of souls are wandering around lost, dying and undone with nowhere to turn! Where are the true leaders of our day? When will they show up, step forth and put all things back into the control of our Master-Yeshua (Jesus)? We must prepare ourselves for the return of The King of Kings. The Church is not ready for that Great and Dreadful Day! Walk through the pages of this message with Tammy, a ten-year journey of gaining understanding from our Fathers perspective as to why the Church today lacks the luster and the power of her former self, and how we are to get it back!

Book excerpt: Overcoming Spiritual Slumber is a booklet written to encourage and challenge God's people to be passionate about God and His Kingdom, inculcating spiritual vibrancy that will foster fruitfulness and spiritual exploits. The devil tempts Christians to compromise in subtle ways but God has called His people to "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called..." (1 Timothy 6:12, MEV). This book gives insight into 1) How to harness God's grace 2) How to avoid the devil's snare 3) How to overcome distractions and offences 4) How to experience Resurrection Power 5) How to appropriate our inheritance as children of God 6) How to remain fruitful through prayer Our warfare is real and .."we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12, MEV). Satan tries to induce spiritual slumber in the lives of Christians but by the grace of God we can remain alert. The Bible says, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8, MEV). We cannot afford to slumber for God has provided all we need to be victorious (2 Peter 1:3). This author, Rev. Panton Okon hopes that this short book will galvanize God's children into action in such a way that they would exude spiritual vibrancy and joy as we wait for the coming of our Lord, Savior and King, Jesus Christ.

Book excerpt: Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) had a mission—reintroduce the Christian faith to Christians. Mark Tietjen thinks that Kierkegaard's critique of his contemporaries strikes close to home today. Through an examination of core Christian doctrines, he helps us hear Kierkegaard's missionary message to a church that often fails to follow Christ with purity of heart.

Book excerpt: To be asleep is to be oblivious to being oblivious. The danger of sleep is the danger of carbon monoxide: it’s colorless and odorless, and you’re anesthetized before you know it—before you ever hit the floor. And for the follower of Jesus, it’s just as dangerous—because the Christian who is “asleep” is spiritually unreceptive. If anything will be our undoing, sleep will. In this thoughtful, engaging, challenging book, Rick James dives deep into the New Testament’s teachings on spiritual wakefulness, calling Christ-followers to defy the darkness and remain awake as they await Christ’s return. Because being awake—continually in prayer, watchful for God’s will, expectant of open doors, cautious of sin, desiring to serve, eager to repent, continuously giving thanks, willing to witness, embracing of humility, overflowing with kindness, persevering in obedience—changes everything.

Book excerpt: Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"? Troubling questions—so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud. But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them? What if it is God who wants us to face these questions? Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the "good news" is much, much better than we ever imagined. Love wins.
