You’ll Get Through This by Max Lucado: We all fear that the depression will never lift, the disappointment will never stop, the pain will never leave. Here in the pits, surrounded by steep walls, we wonder if our gray skies will ever brighten. Though these unprecedented and challenging times may bring a load of uncertainty and fear that feels too heavy to bear, God gives us this promise: You'll Get Through This.
|
Twelve Ordinary Men by John MacArthur: Best-selling author John MacArthur examines the twelve men that Christ chose as his disciples and helps us discover how we can transform our own imperfections into usable tools to impact others. |
Twelve Extraordinary Women by John MacArthur: This book offers a poignant and personal look into the lives of some of the Bible's most faithful women. These women were ordinary, common, and in some cases even ostracized and rejected by society, yet each was made extraordinary by her life-changing encounter with God. Their stories show us that the God to whom they were so faithful is the same God who continues to mold and guide us today.
|
Twelve Unlikely Heroes by John MacArthur: The men and women highlighted in the Bible were unnervingly real. They faltered. They struggled. And at times, they fell short. Yet God worked through them in surprising and incredible ways to accomplish His purposes. This book allows us to see these men and women in their own times and cultures. In doing so, it becomes clear how their dramatic stories apply to us today.
|
7 Women: And the Secret of Their Greatness by Eric Metaxas: This book gives us seven captivating portraits of some of history's greatest women, all of whom changed the course of history by following God's call upon their lives. Each of these world-changing figures - Joan of Arc, Susanna Wesley, Hannah More, Maria Skobtsova, Corrie ten Boom, Mother Teresa, and Rosa Parks - is an exemplary model of true womanhood.
|
7 Men: And the Secret of Their Greatness by Eric Metaxas: Written in a beautiful and engaging style, this book addresses what it means to be a man today, at a time when media and popular culture present images of masculinity that are not the picture presented in Scripture and historic civil life. Each of the seven biographies represents the life of a man who experienced the struggles and challenges to be strong in the face of forces and circumstances that would have destroyed the resolve of lesser men. Each of the seven men profiled - George Washington, William Wilberforce, Eric Liddell, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jackie Robinson, John Paul II, and Charles Colson - calls listeners to a more elevated walk and lifestyle, one that embodies the gospel in the world around us.
