Internationally renowned Bible teacher Derek Prince explains that any believer who is not manifesting gifts of the Spirit is living far below the level of God’s provision for his life. One of our greatest necessities in the church today is to demonstrate through the power of the Spirit that Jesus is alive and that His gospel is true. The world needs to see the manifestation of the presence of God. Believers need the ministry of the body of Christ through spiritual gifts. The Gifts of the Spirit reveals how we can fulfill both of these needs—practically and powerfully.

Many followers of Christ find it discouraging trying to maintain an active prayer life and end up letting that discipline fall to the side. E.M. Bounds, a dedicated prayer warrior himself, shows how much God does listen to prayer and how greatly he desires that his children reach out to him.

Uma tentação constante que cerca a vida cristã é a inversão do chamado: a presunção de que Deus precisa abençoar o meu caminho e me seguir em meus planos e sonhos. Essa postura é enganosa e faz parecer que Deus só é fiel quando me abençoa. Mas e se Deus derrubar o meu sorvete, ele deixa de ser fiel? Claro que não. Às vezes, ele só quer chamar a minha atenção para o caminho certo. Eu já testemunhei gente adulta se comportando como criança por não ter a vida que pediu a Deus. Pediu errado! Neste livro, apresento o caminho do discipulado, o caminho para "sonhar" o que Deus já planejou.

Do you serve on your church's stewardship committee or need to raise money for a mission trip or some other faith-based cause? Perhaps the thought of asking people for money intimidates you. It's time to change the way you think about fundraising. "Fundraising is, first and foremost, a ministry," best-selling author and renowned spiritual teacher Henri Nouwen writes. "It's a way of announcing our vision and inviting other people into our mission."

One of Bounds’ last published works, The Weapon of Prayer, emphasizes his belief that seeing God’s power, experiencing His miracles, and participating in His works relies on dedicated prayer. While receiving prayers is important to God, this communication is crucial for His people. Prayer is not only a religious responsibility, but it is also worship, growth, power, and the Christian’s lifeline. Bounds encourages Christians to practice and sharpen this weapon of strength in order to fully appreciate the gifts that can come from God.

In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to "make it", the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self forgetfulness. In this short and punchy book, best selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self condemnation. A truly gospel humble person is not a self-hating person or a self-loving person, but a self-forgetful person.

New technologies can inspire us, but the breakneck pace of change can also frighten us. So how do Christians walk by faith through the innovations of Silicon Valley?

With the help of several theologians and inventors throughout history, Reinke dispels 12 common myths in the church and offers 14 ethical convictions to help Christians live by faith in the age of big tech.

Christians know what Jesus Christ has done — but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is "gentle and lowly in heart."

Dear. Precious. Lovely. The Bible describes the church in extraordinary ways, even using beautiful poetry and metaphors. How does this compare to how Christians today describe the church? Unfortunately, many believers focus more on its mission, structure, or specific programs than on its inherent beauty. It's time to spark a renewed affection for the church. In The Loveliest Place, Dustin Benge urges Christians to see the holy assembly of God's redeemed people in all its eternal beauty.

The 16th-century Spanish Carmelite nun St Teresa of Ávila was a prominent figure in the Catholic Reformation, and her writings have continued to inspire philosophers, theologians, historians, and countless others interested in Christian spirituality and mysticism.

Many of us have questions about what it means to live as a Christian in the context of a local church. You may even catch yourself asking: If I believe in Jesus, why do I need to join a church?
