God Is For Us

Romans is intellectually and theologically massive. Augustine of Hippo, the great architect of Western theology, was converted while reading Romans.

Loving Mercy : How To Serve A Tender Hearted Saviour
$13.99Add to cartFor years Simon has been absorbed by the quest for a truly Spirit-filled life. But he has realized that this is only the start: the truly Spirit-filled life is one that has a heart for the marginalized – looking outward rather than inward. Justice, he writes, is ‘God’s delight’. The more we become Christ-like, the more we will focus our hearts and minds on spreading justice in every practical way. Justice is God’s design plan, his DNA, the hallmark of righteousness. Salvation and social transformation are inextricably linked – Jesus was a leper lover: who are the marginalised today? Jesus had time and space for the poor: where does our responsibility lie? Jesus called for justice: how do we intercede? We speak warmly of ‘grace’ but grace in action is expressed as justice.This is a passionate, luminous book, filled with interesting and revealing stories and cogent argument.

Now To Him
$14.99Add to cartThe case for a more biblical approach to worship which honours the divine and allows space for wonder.
The authors, a theologian and a worship leader, are concerned that modern worship is growing self-indulgent: more about performance, less about an encounter with the divine. They consider what the Bible teaches about worship, addressing four key concerns: Worship as entertainment; worship which lacks wonder and awe; worship as irrelevant to mission; worship which gratifies the worshipper rather than honouring the Almighty. The authors each contribute six chapters, looking at biblical aspects of worship. They tackle worship and holiness; worship with passion; worship and the danger of idolatry. How, they ask, can we rediscover the mystery of an encounter with God, in corporate worship? How can leaders open themselves and their congregations to the heart of God, releasing his presence and power? How should we craft the unique dynamic of a people gathered to sing to God?

Pursuit Of The Holy
$15.99Add to cart“Be holy as I am holy,” says the Lord.
It’s the most extravagant-and audacious-invitation ever sent: Or in the words of Jesus: “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” But can that really happen? Is holiness an achievable goal for sinful human beings? That’s the ultimate focus of this thoughtful, thorough, and engaging study of what it means to be holy. Drawing on the Bible and Christian thinkers through the ages, Simon Ponsonby affirms that because of God’s gracious love and desire for communion with us, he has done what is possible for us not only to pursue holiness, but to achieve it. While we can never count on attaining moral perfection in this life, we need not settle for less than increasing victory over sin. And as more and more Christians choose to partner with God in the ongoing process of sanctification, we set the stage for revival. -
