The nature of spiritual experience is probably both the most interesting and the most difficult subject in Christian literature: interesting because it concerns human life in all observable stages from childhood to death, and embraces all the emotions and behaviour possible in a man regenerated by the Holy Spirit; difficult because the adequate treatment of the subject makes immense demands upon the author. To trace sanctification and backsliding, as they appear in human consciousness, presupposes a sound biblical theology as well as a spirituality of mind and a pastoral knowledge broad enough...

A short, readable book that explains clearly and simply what the church is and why it really matters.The church has an image problem.It is widely viewed in the world at large as being outdated, boring, irrelevant and filled with backbiting hypocrites.How different that picture is to how the Bible talks about the new family that Jesus has gathered. It is a precious bride, a sparkling jewel, a lifeboat for forgiven sinners that is precious and holy; nurturing and warm; filled with truth, friendship and all embracing, forgiving love.Sam Allberry understands the collision between these two views, ...

Winner of the 2018 TGC Book Award for Christian Living"And God saw that it was good..."Look out over the world today, it seems a far cry from God's original declaration. Pain, conflict, and uncertainty dominate the headlines. Our daily lives are noisy and chaotic--filled with too much information and too little wisdom. No wonder we often find it easier to retreat into safe spaces, hunker down in likeminded tribes, and just do our best to survive life. But what if God wants you to do more than simply survive? What if he wants you to thrive in this world, and be part of its redemption? What if y... View More...
A theologically grounded treatment of what it means to be close to God Numerous Christian books aim to provide guidance on relationships with God, but few base their conclusions on a biblical theology of intimacy. In this volume, Tim Anderson develops a biblical and holistic portrait of nearness to God, exploring key themes like God's Trinitarian union, the fall, God's fatherhood, marriage imagery, suffering, and our relationship with the Holy Spirit. A concluding chapter examines contemporary Christian songs that address oneness with God and evaluates their theological messages in light of th... View More...
What comes into your mind when you hear the phrase ""communion with God""? Sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, arms outstretched, humming? Losing yourself in emotional ecstasy? Being ushered into another dimension? Centering rituals? Emptying your mind and hearing audible voices from God? Through a series of meditations on several biblical passages, Scott Aniol demonstrates that communion with God is not mystical or mysterious--rather, communion with God is rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ, clearly communicated throughout the Scriptures, and absolutely vital for a fruitful Christian life th...

This edition reproduces the original book version, revealing the immediate historical context and controversy of the piece. The introduction and notes broad... View More...
Finding Hope in the Book of Job In the Bible, Job is an upright, innocent, and faithful man with seemingly every reason to expect a long and happy life. Instead, Job faces intense personal suffering: the loss of his family, unbearable physical afflictions, and three discouraging friends. And yet, upon closer examination, the book of Job is about more than just Job's suffering; it's a story about God and his relationship to all of human suffering, posing the question How can a sovereign God let evil run rampant? In his latest book, Christopher Ash examines the story of Job to answer the questio... View More...
The Confessions of Saint Augustine is considered one of the greatest Christian classics of all time. It is an extended poetic, passionate, intimate prayer that Augustine wrote as an autobiography sometime after his conversion, to confess his sins and proclaim God's goodness.

His experience of God speaks to us across time with little need of transpositions.This acclaimed new translation by Sister Maria Boulding, O.S.B., masterfully captures his experi... View More...
