An eye-opening book that addresses an often overlooked and commonly misunderstood teaching of Jesus The Lost Commandment Have We Missed What Jesus Really Wants? Dave Greber

When Jesus was asked to name the greatest commandment, he answered with what is now called the Golden Rule: “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Luke 6:31 niv). In this eye-opening new book, author Dave Greber asserts that if Jesus were asked this question again, He would answer with the words He spoke at the Last Supper: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (John 13:34-35 niv). Often overlooked or misunderstood, this “lost commandment” tells us how Jesus wants us to live.   Using stories, Scripture, and practical applications, Greber unpacks the meaning of the lost commandment by looking at seven characteristics of biblical living that Jesus Himself embodied and that Christians should follow to find the joy that comes with following God’s desire for us.

“A great resource for anyone wanting to start exercising the gift of prophecy”

—Dr. Mark Stibbe, The Father’s House Trust

Moving in the Prophetic A Biblical Guide to Effective Prophetic Ministry Today Greg Haslam

The gift of prophecy has always invited some degree of opposition and controversy. It is one of the most vivid displays of God’s presence and power among his people. Many, however, struggle with the very concept of prophecy. They are troubled by the possibility that God may have direct access to our minds.   Greg Haslam argues that such concerns are misplaced. He considers how God speaks, and how we should hear him; how we can test and deliver a prophetic word; and how we can grow in confidence as we learn to discern what the Spirit is saying to the church. “An excellent guide to this vital ministry.”—Dr. Michael Eaton, Chrisco Fellowship of Churches “Greg Haslam offers us sane, biblical wisdom about the prophetic in this vital, long overdue book. This is no inspirational snack, but a gourmet feast to be savored. This book is a gift. Don’t miss it.”—Jeff Lucas, author, speaker, and broadcaster  “Greg has dealt with a most needed and misunderstood subject in modern Christian thinking—and done so with theological acumen, biblical knowledge, and spiritual intelligence. For those who are interested in understanding the prophetic and developing their gift in this area, this book is for you.”—Dr. R. T. Kendall, Minister, Westminster Chapel (1977–2002)

Features and Benefits: • Based on long pastoral experience, study, and reflection • Certain to become the standard treatment of this controversial subject

“A beautifully crafted picture of what it’s like to be under the watchful care of the Good Shepherd”

—Robin Jones Gunn, best-selling author

The Sheep of His Hand

Reflections on the Psalms from a 21st Century Shepherd Suzanne Davenport Tietjen

The Sheep of His Hand is a walk through the Psalms alongside a little band of sheep. Sheep are individuals, and benefit from individualized care. Shepherds have always dealt with primal concerns—birth, death, love, rejection. Technology has changed much in the last millennium but the mud and the blood of shepherding are timeless—and sheep are still sheep. Sharing this ancient occupation with the Psalmist helped Suzanne Tietjen to understand what David had to say about walking with God. “This book is amazing! I not only learned more about sheep than I ever knew, I learned something about The Shepherd, too.”—Bob Hartman, performance storyteller and author, The Lion Storyteller Bible “Brilliant . . . This highly original book breathes fresh life into an old metaphor. It deserves to be read by millions.”—Dr. Mark Stibbe, The Father’s House Trust “Beautifully written, refreshingly funny, and spiritually profound. This is the kind of book that sticks with you. Buy it. Read it. Share it with a friend.”—Dr. Bill Giovannetti, author, How to Keep Your Inner Mess from Trashing Your Outer World “The escapades and tragedies of Suzanne’s little woolly sheep touched my heart.” —Karen H. Whiting, author, God’s Girls

“God, Actually [is] one of the best statements of reasoned faith that I have read. I loved it”

—Tim Costello, Chief Executive, World Vision Australia

God, Actually

Why God Probably Exists; Why Jesus Was Probably Divine; and Why the “Rational” Objections to Religion are Unconvincing Roy Williams

Former agnostic, Roy Williams, was skeptical and uninterested in religious issues until his first child was born. But when he and his wife decided to take their daughter to Sunday school, Roy discovered that the Bible was full of wisdom and insight. Over the next several years, he began studying the Bible and eventually was willing to acknowledge Christ as his Lord.   In God, Actually, Roy discusses the questions he asked on his journey from agnostic to believer, including: • what is the best explanation for the physical universe? • what should we think about Jesus? • how can we usefully address the question of suffering? • and more   This book is packed full of pithy, judicious arguments. It draws widely upon philosophy and the arts, and its tone is lucid, fair-minded, and vigorous. “[The] book is a very considerable achievement. It is exceptionally well-written, and carefully nuanced on all the crunch points.”—Graham N. Stanton, Lady Margaret’s Professor of Divinity Emeritus, University of Cambridge

Jesus’ spiritual practices examined for today’s believers to follow The Spirituality of Jesus

Nine Disciplines Christ Modeled for Us Leslie T. Hardin

What do the gospels reveal about Christ’s spirituality? Do they accurately portray the disciplines He followed? These questions are rarely asked of the gospels, but they can yield astounding insights, and Leslie T. Hardin looks to Scripture for the answers. Hardin argues that Jesus’ spirituality is seen not in miracles, but in his everyday activities. In the gospels we can catch glimpses of these instructive daily routines.   Hardin identifies nine practices or disciplines of Jesus’ spirituality that allowed the Spirit to work in and through him: • Prayer and solitude • Care for the oppressed • Resisting temptation • Corporate worship • Scripture study • Meal sharing • Simplicity • Submission to the Father • Evangelism and proclamation   Hardin looks at how these disciplines opened up avenues for the Spirit, and how they can be integrated into the lives of modern Christians.

Features and Benefits: • Looks at the life of Jesus from a new and insightful perspective • Summarizes the core of Christian spirituality in easy-to-understand terms

An insightful book on the fundamentals of Christian parenting Wise Stewards

Philosophical Foundations of Christian Parenting Michael W. Austin

A parenting philosophy may be the last thing that parents think about in the day-to-day commotion of childrearing. But a philosophical understanding of parenting is not only vital, it’s also practical. In this insightful resource, Michael Austin argues that wise parents should view themselves as stewards of their children, and with this mind-set they can gain a new understanding of the family.   Wise Stewards combines biblical, theological, and philosophical reflection to construct an everyday ethic and practice of parenthood that is distinctly Christian. Addressing practical concerns such as how family members should relate to one another, how they should conceive of their roles, and how they should carry out their tasks, Austin helps parents apply these core ideas to their daily lives. Filling a noticeable gap in parenting literature, Wise Stewards brings the methods and insights of Christian philosophy to bear on the family in a way that is accessible, theoretically sound, and supremely practical.

Features and Benefits: • Fills a conspicuous gap in parenting literature • Presents a philosophy of parenting that is distinctly Christian • Includes study questions in each chapter

Finally a tool to help pastors shape applications that touch the real lives of people in the pew Applying the Sermon

How to Balance Biblical Integrity and Cultural Relevance Daniel Overdorf

Even the most seasoned homileticians balk at sermon application. Why? Because application requires preachers to toss a grenade-like “thus saith the Lord” into people’s lives, and to do so repeatedly.—From the introduction Despite the concern many pastors feel when it comes to sermon application, most homiletics texts devote little more than a chapter, if that, to this vital topic. Daniel Overdorf has filled this glaring gap with Applying the Sermon. This book equips preachers to develop sermon application that grows from the biblical text and addresses the needs of contemporary congregations.   Each chapter includes snippets of interviews with five of today’s most respected homileticians—Haddon Robinson, Will Willimon, Tom Long, Vic Pentz, and Bob Russell. A great addition to any pastor’s library, and a valuable resource for Bible college and seminary courses, Overdorf’s Applying the Sermon also includes an extensive bibliography and a sermon application worksheet to give pastors a chance to acquire hands-on experience with these techniques.

Features and Benefits: • Addresses a topic given little attention by other homiletics books • Includes an extensive bibliography and a sermon application worksheet • Includes advice and reflections from five of today’s most respected homileticians

Biblical theology comes alive in this “hindsight” examination of the biblical narrative From Eden to the New Jerusalem An Introduction to Biblical Theology T. Desmond Alexander

Personal stories aren’t enough to offer individuals peace when they question their own existence. But the Bible’s story comes not from humanity, but from God. Author T. Desmond Alexander suggests that God has given us the reasons for creation and our existence in the Bible. “By resolving an intricate plot that runs throughout the story, a good denouement shed light on the entire story,” Alexander writes. Using this theory to start from the denouement, or resolution, in Revelation’s last verses and work backward, Alexander pieces together the Bible’s overarching plot. The resulting picture reveals the reasons for creation and life that have eluded those who seek to answer life’s biggest questions without first placing themselves in God’s story.

A call for the endurance of the saints with contributions by John Piper, John MacArthur, Randy Alcorn, Jerry Bridges, and Helen Roseveare Cómo perseverar hasta el final Stand

John Piper and Justin Taylor, General Editors

Justin Taylor is an associate publisher at Crossway. He coedited with John Piper Suffering and the Sovereignty of God and The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World.

The modern answer for bettering your life is usually “move on.” But God’s Word values a different standard that, while difficult, leads to deep satisfaction and a great reward: endurance. Long, steady, hold-thecourse perseverance is especially needed within today’s vacillating generation. Each author is a devoted Christ-follower who contributes a chapter about a different kind of endurance.
