Bible Themes |
||
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.

At the heart of the Gospel message is the image of a fruitful life – allowing Jesus to live his life in us and through us. In A Fruitful Life we ponder the teaching of Jesus in John chapter 15, the famous ‘vine’ passage. He is preparing his disciples for his departure and describing how they can be effective witnesses in a hostile world. Just as his instructions revolutionised their lives, so a proper understanding of what he is saying can revolutionise our lives also. ‘It is my desire through these pages to point you back to the simplicity of a life lived out of relationship with Jesus Christ. A life of intimacy, of abiding in him, is the source and spring of all other activity and endeavour. The branch bears fruit because it abides in the vine.’ More books by Tony Horsfall Forty daily readings for people experiencing all kinds of grief - each offering a short Bible reading, reflection and a prayer, with a question or quote to mull over during the day. |
