Reading the Bbile - let alone understanding and applying it to daily life - can be a daunting prospect even for people who feel they are some way along the road of Christian discipleship. Where do we start? How do we work out its relevance to us? If we feel we know it quite well already, how can we go further in exploring its riches? Michael Green explains step by step how to enjoy the Bible, how to read it by ourselves and how to benefit from discussing it with others, and how we in turn can start to share its teaching with new Christians.
If prayer is simply a matter of talking to God, why do we often find it so difficult, or at the very least, hard to prioritise? While a surprisingly high percentage of people in the UK admit to praying at some time or other, the challenge for Christians is to move beyond prayer as crisis management or shopping list, and experience it as being in the very presence of our heavenly Father.
As Christians, we are called to proclaim our faith in God, but how can we build and maintain this confidence in an increasingly secularised culture where such faith is often seen as marginal, embarrassing or even downright dangerous? This book explores how God can develop a proper self-confidence within individuals and his Church, revealing the gospel through transforming words and transformed lives. The book includes a discussion guide at the back of the book.
Pilgrim's Way is the perfect way for any Christian who feels daunted by the Bible to get to know it better. Written by David Winter, one of the UK's most popular Christian writers and broadcasters, Pilgrim's Way provides gentle yet thought-provoking devotional Biblical reflections for each day of the year. This is an ideal book to use for or to supplement daily Bible reading. David Winter is one of the writers for New Daylight, is the consulting editor for BRF's People's Bible Commentary and has written many books for BRF, including Journey to Jerusalem.
In a verse by verse exploration of one of the New Testament's most inspiring passages, this book invites us on the challenge of a lifetime - the race of faith, which we run in the company of a 'cloud of witnesses' who urge us on as we follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Running the Race Marked out for us reveals a wealth of encouragement and hope in Hebrews 12, and reminds us of all that we are called to do and be, as sons and daughters of God.
