  Message of Evil and Suffering: Light Into Darkness (Bible Speaks Today Themes Series)

  Peter Hicks

  Paperback

  $19.99 $15.99
  

  Available Now. 4 Available

  Evil and suffering have always been part of human experience - and they present a significant challenge to Christian belief in a good and all-powerful God.
  
  Evil and suffering may be a mystery to us, but they are not a mystery to God. The Bible writers have no time for an unreal idealism, in which the life of faith is free from anguish, pain and perplexity. They are confident that God's power and wisdom are great enough not just to cope with the realities of suffering and evil, but to overcome and transform them, and to enable us to be 'more than conquerors' in a broken and hurting world.
  
  With warmth and clarity, Peter Hicks expounds a range of relevant biblical texts that enable us to set the issue of evil and suffering firmly in the context of the nature and purposes of God. Central to his approach is the conviction that the key lies in the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the suffering and triumph of God himself. In valuable practical sections he explores the Bible's teaching on how we are to live in a world of evil and suffering. 288 pages from IVP.

  Message of Heaven and Hell: Grace and Destiny (Bible Speaks Today Themes Series)

  Bruce Milne

  Paperback

  $19.99 $15.99
  

  Available Now. 10+ Available

  In The Message of Heaven and Hell, Milne guides us from Genesis to Revelation, stopping to examine key texts that illumine the destiny of humanity, the nature of heaven and hell and the glory of life everlasting in the presence of God. Death is one of the certainties of life:

  • What is life? What is death?
  • But what happens beyond death?
  • Is there an afterlife?
  • What inexpressible wonders--or unspeakable horrors--will we encounter beyond the pale of this life?

  The topic of life and judgment beyond death is one that has occupied the minds of Christians in former eras but today seems to be in partial eclipse. As Bruce Milne argues, we are poorer for it--without even recognizing our poverty. There is such a thing as being so heavenly minded that we are of no earthly good. But there is also such a thing as being so unheavenly minded that we lose sense of earthly good and the gravity of life in the present. This is far more dangerous.
  
  Bruce Milne takes us on a journey through the biblical teaching about the awesome realities of heaven and hell - destinies central to our understanding of God and humanity. He begins with an examination of some key Old Testament texts, then moves on to the teaching of Jesus, and finally surveys other relevant New Testament passages.
  Debate continues about this area of Christian belief, but the life to come is a biblical 'fact of life', and the eternal God assures us, repeatedly and clearly, that he will meet us all in eternity.

  Message of Prayer: Approaching the Throne of Grace (Bible Speaks Today Themes Series)

  Tim Chester

  Paperback

  $19.99 $15.99
  

  Available Now. 6 Available

  There are already more books on prayer than anyone could ever hope to read. But the message of prayer as conveyed through the Scriptures is often lost as many books seem to be informed more by the experiences of their authors than by Scripture. However, the Bible not only teaches us about prayer, it also gives us many examples of prayer. It is God's Word to us, and it teaches us how to respond to that Word. For Timothy Chester, an understanding of prayer begins with an understanding of the doctrine of God. The prayer of faith, as represented in the Scriptures, is a trinitarian experience--to God through Christ in the Spirit.
  
  Here we see prayer as practiced by the patriarchs, apostles and ordinary people in the community of faith. We find that our ancestors in the faith faced similar struggles in prayer to ours, and we take guidance from their examples. In the end, the message of prayer is that to be people of prayer is to be people of the Book, and to be people of the Book is to be people of prayer.
  
  Tim Chester's insightful exposition of this central aspect of Christian living is driven by the conviction that we need to reform not only our thinking and behaviour in the light of God's Word, but also our praying.
  
  Drawing on a wide range of biblical texts, he explores the foundations and the practice of prayer, and shows that how we understand prayer is necessarily bound up with how we understand the gospel, and God himself.
  
  In this profound exposition of biblical teaching on prayer, Tim Chester writes, "God has come near to unworthy people 'with the nearness of Father and child'. So, it is in coming as a petitioner before God that the praying person makes the most genuine act of praise and thanksgiving, and therefore worship. . . The Bible invites us to find the model of prayer in the simple petitioning of a child before a father. This leads to freedom and peace."
