It is true that mankind himself has probably always been characterized with the main desire to determine just what "spiritual truth" really is. For centuries and centuries, highly educated philosophers and religious men alike have always stood toe-to-toe disagreeing on "spiritual truth". Since they cannot all be right, this would strongly indicate that education, religious persuasion, or even intelligence has little to do with our discovery of the "real spiritual truth".

Disciple Building: A Biblical Framework provides a biblical strategy for helping Christians grow to maturity. Maturity is defined as becoming increasingly conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ. Maturity is a process, and it is progressive. As people obey the truths of scripture, they increase their understanding of God and his kingdom. As this occurs, God gradually changes the believers’ conduct, belief systems, worldview, and ultimately, their character.

A real stimulus to lift us up to daring and glaring heights with God! God's testimony about the believer is often opposed to what a man thinks of himself. However, it is God's verdict that is true. Man's confession is not the reality of the work accomplished on the cross of calvary. Z.T. Fomum, in this audiobook, aims at leading each believer to realise who he is, what God says about him, in order that he should place all his potential at the service of the gospel, with a view to winning to Christ the perishing souls of men.

The word "Christian", once a powerful descriptor of a peculiar people, has become meaningless. It no longer identifies those who have aligned themselves with the person of Jesus Christ. Imagine a world in which Christians again looked like Jesus, where spiritual leaders made disciples, where churches were groups of people with an insatiable desire to follow their Savior, and where those who identified themselves with Jesus accurately represented his character.

This work by John Owen offers a practical and biblical plan for understanding the power of the enemy and the strategies of sin and temptation. By helping Christians understand the nature of sin, Owen reveals a path to victory through communion with and reliance on God. While sin works to pull Christians away from God and from obedience to him, this powerful guide demonstrates how to combat that and instead grow closer to God.

Millions of people around the world look to the Bible as a source of encouragement and faith formation, a reminder that God is love and is in control, and a guide to living one's life the way God desires. But this treasured book has also been misused and manipulated by many, placed on a pedestal of untouchability, and protected from questioning and honest engagement. In Permission Granted, Jennifer Grace Bird encourages people of faith to explore the texts on their own, freed from long-held myths and misconceptions.

Whether people have enough food or not, they are always hungry for something. This world is a world of appetites, and human beings are always searching for some kind of satiation. People are constantly looking to fulfill some desire or another. What sin has done to us as a people is this; it has distorted our appetites. It has made the satisfaction of our physical desires to be our primary concern, while minimizing, disguising or even completely obscuring our spiritual needs. What the body wants has become first in our priorities, rather than what the soul needs.

I’m surrounded by people at church...so why do I feel so alone? You show up at church every Sunday. You see people you know. You listen to a sermon together. And then you go home feeling just as isolated as you did before. What’s going on? We all know that a church is supposed to be a community. The trick is to actually make it one. Communities don’t happen by chance - certainly not in our Lone Ranger culture that values independence and individualism.

Discipleship seems elusive. We all know that God told us to make disciples. We want to build fully devoted followers of Christ, but most often, we do little more than educate and entertain.

Packed with real stories and insights, How to Make Disciples provides a simple, proven, step-by-step process for making disciples.

Esa pregunta le molestaba e incomodaba constantemente al pastor y autor John Mark Comer. En el exterior parecía muy exitoso pero, por dentro, las cosas no lucían muy bien. Así que se dirigió a su mentor en busca de orientación y le escuchó decir estas palabras: “Elimina, sin piedad, la prisa de tu vida. La prisa es el gran enemigo de la vidaespiritual.”

Zealous faith can have a dangerous, dark side. While recent calls for radical Christians have challenged many to be more passionate about their faith, the down side can be a budding arrogance and self-righteousness that “accidentally” sneaks into our outlook.

"Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of personal nurture and development," says LeRoy Eims. But all too often the opportunity isn't there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services, and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making.

Over the last few years, the literature on Generation Z has grown rapidly.
