Robert L. Reymond

Where Do We Go From Here?

John Blanchard

Where do we go from here? may become more widely used than anything John Blanchard has written since Ultimate Questions, which now has over fifteen million copies in print in fifty languages. The reason is obvious. Where do we go from here? is the final question all humanity faces, and this booklet tackles it head-on. Exactly what does happen to us when we die? The immediate future of the body is fairly obvious, but what about the spirit or soul? Is it annihilated or reincarnated? Is it conscious or unconscious? Do we face endless pain or endless pleasure? Is there a second chance to put things right? Do we have to wait until after we die to find out? This booklet answers these and other questions biblically, clearly and in a user-friendly way. Here is an ideal resource to share with people who have no grasp of the Christian message.

Learning Evangelism From Jesus

Jerram Barrs

Studying Jesus' conversations with diverse people in his day, Jerram Barrs draws lessons and principles for attractively communicating the gospel to unbelievers in our day.Living in a culture that is opposed to Christianity tempts God's people to conform, to retreat, to be silent. But Jesus showed the way to live faithfully before an unbelieving world.

As the greatest evangelist, Jesus exemplified how to attract people to the gospel. He modelled how to initiate spiritual conversations full of grace and truth. Christian evangelism, then, both in theory and practice, must be shaped by his pattern.

This highly practical book will guide Christians in how to live before unbelievers and how to love them into the kingdom, just as Jesus did.

Noel Davidson

Five young professionals, each from a different background, and as a group they represent a tremendous variety of life experience... Amanda is a wife and mum who works as a manager for a leading high-street fashion retailer. Andrew is best known for his rugby.

Leonard Ravenhill

One of the twentieth century’s greatest authorities on revival, Leonard Ravenhill gives a no- compromise call to the principles of biblical revival. The heart of his message to the church is in this volume. Appalled by the disparity between the New Testament and the church today, his message is drastic, fearless, and often radical.

Know and Tell The Gospel

John Chapman

'Tell me', said the girl. 'What do I have to do to become a Christian?' I didn't have the faintest idea where to begin. For most Christians, clearly explaining the gospel is more of a dream than a reality. We feel inadequate and reluctant, but at the same time eager to see our friends come to Christ. Know and Tell the Gospel deals with all the questions that so quickly come to mind on this subject. Just what is the gospel anyway? Is it my job to explain it to people? What is God's role and what is mine? Where does church fit in? Why is evangelism so often hard? And how can we train ourselves and others to be involved? In his characteristically friendly and engaging way, John Chapman provides warm encouragement, insightful Biblical teaching, and a wealth of practical information on evangelism for all Christians. This new edition has been extensively revised and rewritten, and contains up-to-date and evaluation on current resources for evangelism. A must read for every Christian who is concerned to take the gospel to our lost world.

Workers For The Harvest Field

Vaughan Roberts and Tim Thornborough

The Lord Jesus saw a vast harvest waiting to be gathered in but hardly any workers to do the job. So he issued an instruction to his followers: 'Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field' (Matthew 9:38). That command still applies today. Although 2000 years of Christian witness have past, there are still millions in our world who have never even heard the name of Christ. Even in countries where many profess to be Christians there is great ignorance, and a spiritual great hunger - which only the Gospel of Christ can answer. This book is an attempt to describe the nature of gospel ministry and to answer the questions that those who are considering it may have. The aim is not to persuade everyone that they should give up their present jobs and offer themselves as workers to churches and missionary organisations. We all have different gifts. But we should all be asking ourselves this question: 'What is it that I could do that would most bring glory to God through the spread of the gospel?' For some that will mean staying where they are, for others it will mean a significant change of direction.

Power Evangelism

John Wimber

God has been refreshing, renewing, healing and equipping his Church through the power of his spirit. How can Christians become more effective in evangelism? What resources are needed for the spirit of God to work in power?

If My People- a journey on the road to spiritual blessing

DJ Reid

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 It s God s promise. We all know it, preachers quote it, so why s nothing happening in our nation today? Perhaps it is because we fall at the first hurdle: the need to be humble! Using a simple but hard-hitting approach, If My People... dares to confront the absence of true, Biblical humility in the Church today. The reader is taken on a journey along a forgotten and neglected road to rediscover this wonderful Christ-like virtue. God demands it and if we are willing, it will unlock His promises of untold blessings. Humbling oneself in obedience to God suddenly becomes a dynamic and empowering quality that we all can access. This book throws down the gauntlet to get real by examining every area of the Christian s experience and bring it into line with the hard sayings of God s Word. Those who take up this challenge will not only change themselves they may well change their world!

Out Of The Salt Shaker And Into The World- evangelism is a way of life

Rebecca Manley Pippert

Evangelism isn't something you do, it's a world-changing way of life. Rebecca Manley Pippert shows how we as Christians, who are called to be the salt of the earth, can get out of the saltshaker and into life itself. People crowd the pages of Becky's book, with language and lifestyles to match. She confronts them with a Jesus as contemporary as themselves, a Christ they can see, who cares. Reading her book we laugh at her mistakes, identify with her failures, and find ourselves eager to emulate her spiritual progress.

Prophetic Evangelism

Mark Stribbe

There are many biblical examples of God's people using prophecy in their witness to unbelievers. Jesus used prophecy in his ministry to seekers. After Pentecost, God gave the gift of prophecy to believers as one resource among many in their witness to the world. Furthermore, Christians today receive prophecies for those who don't know Christ, often with immediate and life-changing effects. This book contains many such testimonies.This is the first book to explore how the gift of prophecy can be used with potent effects in our outreach to non- Christians.

When You Pray- making the Lord’s prayer your own

Philip Graham Ryken

When Jesus’ disciples recognised their need to pray, they asked Jesus Christ to teach them to pray. The answer Jesus gave to their request is found for us in Matthew 6, a prayer commonly called “The Lord’s Prayer.” In When You Pray: Making the Lord’s Prayer Your Own, Dr. Philip Graham Ryken provides a helpful study of that prayer and encourages the reader to view “The Lord’s Prayer” not only as something to be recited but also as something to actually learn from. As Ryken correctly points out early in the book, “Jesus’ teaching about prayer begins with an urgent request: ‘Lord, teach us to pray’ (Luke 11:1). Not ‘teach us how to pray,’ notice, but ‘teach us to pray.’”(p. 13), and it is that desire to teach us to pray that seemed to direct Ryken as he wrote this book.

I Believe God- Saint Paul looks back on his life

Noel Davidson

Beaten by the Jews five times. Flogged by the Romans three times. Shipwrecked three times. Stoned once and left for dead. And in prison more times than I can even recall. I have also spent a night and day adrift on the open sea. During my frequent travels I have been in constant danger from rivers, floods, robbers, my own countrymen and foreigners. I have been in danger in the town, in the country, at sea, and from false Christians. I have known exhaustion and exposure, physical pain and personal hurt, hunger and thirst. And in addition to that I feel the burden of all the churches. Nevertheless, I believe God, and I have learnt to be content, both in His work and His will. I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. And I have kept the faith for which I am about to be put to death. This is my story. Paul, Apostle and servant of Jesus Christ.

Derek Prime

Promoting The Gospel- the Whole of Life for the Cost of Christ

John Dickson

Active Evangelism

Derek Prime

New theories come and go about methods of evangelism involving psychological concepts, social theory, marketing models, church growth strategy and obscure texts applied more widely than intended. The irony is that we have a model for evangelism staring us in the face in the story of the early church told by Luke through the book of Acts. So, it's time to realign your thoughts on evangelism in tune to what God has to say. It's time for ACTive Evangelism. Derek Prime guides us through the book of Acts giving very practical examples of how to do evangelism in the workplace, with our neighbours, to our families, as a church and individually. In each chapter Prime looks at the context the disciples were ministering in, the challenges they would have faced, the methods they used, and then applies it to our situation today.

Kuiper's writing, as his preaching and lecturing, was always characterized by clarity and simplicity.

The Imitation of Christ

Thomas à Kempis

Let it be our chief occupation to think upon the life of Jesus Christ.

THE IMITATION OF CHRIST is one of the great classics on spiritual devotion. It has been influential since it was first written over five centuries ago, with people such as John Wesley and John Newton profoundly touched by it at their conversions. Written by a German monk, it is essentially a manual on the pursuit of holiness and deep communion with God, with its key theme that the study of Jesus is the Christian’s highest ideal.

This new edition includes an introduction by the translator and a new foreword by J. John.

Evangelism & The Sovereignty Of God

J.I. Packer

If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all.

JI Packer shows in this classic study how false both these attitudes are. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he shows how a right understanding of God’s sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as a incentive and powerful support for it.

“...if my people...” Demonstration the Spirit’s Power in Revival

Dr. William Fleming

The 1958 revival centred in the mid- antrim village of Ahoghill, Northern Ireland in some ways echoed the 1859 Ulster revival but it was a specific instance where God demonstrated the power if the Holy Spirit in a special localised way. The full story of this revival has never before been fully reported but here it is told by the minister whose church experienced the revival, and who was personally involved in it. William Fleming also recounts how these marvellous events led to the formation of the Irish Revival Fellowship, the legacy it has left to the church, and the biblical precedents for what happened.

The Hidden Life of Prayer- The Life-blood of the Christian

David McIntyre

Private or secret prayer is the life-blood of the Christian. The great men and women of God down through the ages have testified to the effectiveness of this in their lives.

Drawing on the experiences of people like Luther, Spurgeon, Muller, Whitefield and Wesley, the author presses the case for a greater commitment to prayer. His advice may not only transform your life, it could be a catalyst towards a change in the world around you.

Praying- Finding our Way From Duty To Delight

J.I Packer and Carolyn Nystrom

Merit Award, 2007 World Guild Christian Living Book Praying is an action. Praying is an action that is of the essence of Christian existence. It involves our beliefs, emotions, values, hopes and fears, certainties and uncertainties, knowledge and ignorance. As J. I. Packer and Carolyn Nystrom explain, this book "is a heart-to-heart affair, in which two Christians who try to pray and wish they prayed better share thoughts about what they are doing with people whom they envisage as being like themselves. . . . Our aim is not just to clarify Christian understanding but to foster Christian living. In real praying, head, heart and hands go together." With wisdom, humility and sincerity the authors lead us through different moods of praying, including brooding, praising, asking, complaining and hanging on. In Praying the authors offer hope for those of us who daydream when we try to listen to God and stumble when we try to speak. Yet they don't just teach us about prayer; they challenge and inspire us to do it by pointing us to a clearer realization of the reality of God and his character. Let Packer and Nystrom come alongside you to encourage and guide your active praying to our powerful God, and let him move your praying through mere duty to delight.

The Cross- The Pulpit of God’s Love

Iain H Murray

The atonement is the centre of the Christian faith and of the work of the gospel ministry. The purpose of gospel preaching is to make known what God has done in the cross of Jesus Christ. The evangel is 'the preaching of the cross' (1 Cor. 1:18). If this was apostolic Christianity then we must examine ourselves as to whether our emphasis corresponds with it. Is the cross central to the message we preach in our evangelism? But how are we to preach the cross? Does our preaching resemble that of the NT apostles? Does it match the passionate freeness with which the church's greatest evangelists preached the cross to needy sinners? In this booklet, Iain Murray helps us to think through the message of the cross, to appreciate God's love and justice in the death of Christ, and to grasp the truth afresh that 'by Christ crucified the love of God and his willingness to save is to be made known to all people.'

The Secret Key To Heaven- the Vital Importance of Private Prayer

Thomas Brooks

The power of religion and godliness lives, thrives, or dies, as closet prayer lives, thrives, or dies.' This was the deeply held conviction of Thomas Brooks, the author of this book. As a pastor who knew his people well, he feared that many Christians do not understand the necessity, excellency, and usefulness of private prayer, and that many live 'too great a neglect of this indispensable duty.' Focusing on our Lord's words about 'closet-prayer' in Matthew 6:6, Brooks gives us a masterful treatment of a vitally important aspect of Christian's living. His aim is intensely practical, 'to preserve and keep up the power of religion and godliness both in men's houses, hearts, and lives.'

Questioning Evangelism- Engaging People’s Hearts The Way Jesus Did

Randy Newman

There's no question about it—evangelism is essential to following Jesus. Unfortunately, sharing the Good News is often seen as a matter of using the right method. But methods don't go very far when a conversation about faith runs squarely up against a brick wall of defensiveness or veers off into an unfamiliar landscape of arguments and objections. What's a disciple of Christ to do then? “Ask a question,” says Randy Newman. It is, after all, what Jesus did. This questioning style of evangelism is without formulas, without answers to memorize, and you don’t have to have a Ph.D. in theology to use it. If it sounds too simple, don’t worry. It worked for Jesus; it will work for you. “Questioning Evangelism steps outside the boundaries of evangelism as usual and tackles the tougher issues of our modern day. [It] is a must read for all!”

Revival- a People saturated with God

Brian H. Edwards

It was a week-night prayer meeting. There had been bitter opposition to the gospel in the village, and although many attended the meetings from other areas, very few locals attended. A church leader suggested they should go to prayer, and thirty or so moved into the home of a friendly farmer. Prayer was so hard, and about midnight Duncan Campbell turned to the local blacksmith, who had been silent so far, and said, "I feel the time has come when you ought to pray." The man prayed for about half an hour, because in revival time doesn't matter, and then drew his prayer to a close with a bold challenge: "God, your honour is at stake, and I challenge you to keep your covenant engagements." At that moment, Duncan Campbell recalls, "After they prayed, the whole granite house shook like a leaf," and while one elder thought of an earth tremor, Duncan was reminded of Acts 4:31.
