God Who Are You Anyway

We can trace all our human problems to our view of God. In one of his greatest contributions to the Body of Christ, Bill Bright addresses questions that Christians of all paths ask. These questions include: Do your experiences shape how you see God? or Does your view of God shape how you see your experiences? Do you experience daily the joy and peace Jesus promised all his followers? or Are you stuck on an emotional rollercoaster driven by today’s events?” God, Who Are You Anyway teaches Christians how to deepen their view of God. Readers learn to see problems as opportunities to see God work.

How would your life be different if you truly believed you're loved just as you are?" Holley Gerth poses this compelling question at the start of her latest book. As someone who has connected with thousands of women, Holley has seen the dangers of becoming trapped by impossible standards of beauty, achievement, and even spirituality. We believe if only we were perfect we could beat our depression, banish anxiety, and develop the relationships we long for most. Holley shares how God wants to set the hearts of women free by revealing the lies we believe and the scandalous grace and acceptance offered to us instead. When we know we're truly loved, the response is to love in return--and that changes everything. Bestselling author and every woman's best friend, Holley Gerth helps women lay down their unrealistic expectations so they can embrace who God created them to be, pursue his purpose for their lives, and offer the love they've been freely given.

Valerie Rose is an ordinary, middle-aged, middle-class, working woman whose willingness to share her own oppositional view on faith, religion, the world's filth, and building a relationship with God in the midst of it all is real, raw, inspiring, and encourages others to do the same. She is a daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, wife, mother, stepmother, nana, and friend whose passion is to inspire others to turn their frowns upside down and embrace God's love through all life's trials and tribulations. Using her own personal struggles in building a relationship with God, Valerie shows how recognizing God's love for her in the midst of anger, agony, awkwardness, abandonment, alcoholism, and abuse helped her to replace hatred with healing. She overcame abuse and abandonment, fears, hurts, and other hang-ups to go on teaching and encouraging others to learn and grow. Valerie offers life-transforming insights not only about how to overcome hatred, hurts, hang-ups, and painful circumstances many identify with, but also how to heal, grow, and embrace God's love from those experiences and then help others to do the same. Her personal stories will inspire you to see your own hatred, hurts, and hang-ups that have built barriers around your heart and will help you to begin seeking healing, grace, and love; to recognize God loves all of you and He is there for you.

Originally delivered as sermons by pastor Mark Dever at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington DC, these three studies are now available in one hardcover volume. Dever guides readers to take a step back and look at the Bible from a broader perspective. As we notice new features of an object when viewed from a distance, so too the major themes of Scripture become more apparent when we take in the Bible as a whole. Part of the IXMarks series, this book considers the central messages of the Bible as seen in the promises of God. Dever examines the general narrative of God's Word to answer the question, "What does God wants of us anyway?" Readers looking for a panoramic view of Scripture will be reminded of the faithful, persistent love of God and find themselves drawn into a broader, but deeper, understanding of the maker and keeper of promises.

[ WHAT IF THE GOD YOU BELIEVE IN DOESN'T EXIST? ]What we belive about God is the firm foundation upon which life, the universe, and everything is built. Even if we say there is no God, each of us has something that defines ultimate reality. This foundation, therefore, is the most important piece of our brain or spirit, science or theology, that we could explore.If every single one of us believes in something that defines all reality, even if it is just ourselves, then where did we get these beliefs? How did we come to believe what we believe about the most important question ever asked? Most importantly, what if the God we belive in, doesn't exist?This book begins with a question... THE question. Who Is This God Person, Anyway? The answer may not be 42, but it does give us the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Pastor and author Lee Brown poses this all important question as he invites you into the most life-changing conversation of all. Sprinkled throughout with personal reflection and life stories, as well as a healthy dose of outright nerdery, "Who Is This God Person, Anyway?" is the perfect book for anyone who has questions about God, the universe, and everything, but doesn't want to spend a bunch of time reading theological tomes.

If every Christian knew who they were as a child of God, if they knew their identity in Christ and how valuable they are just because they are His, and if all this went beyond head knowledge and into heart knowledge, just imagine the power in that understanding. Broken relationships could be mended, and families could work out their differences. Individuals held captive by their insecurities would experience freedom in their lives. I'll Love You Anyway, by author Lori Davis, seeks to help Christians experience the freedom of forgiving and letting go of the past. You can break down the walls of protection and be free to give and receive love the way God intended. You can learn to extend unconditional grace and love to others. Davis explains how to recognize that the people who hurt us may have also been hurt in life and that they too may be living with walls of protection around their hearts. If we can integrate the truth of who God says we are within our daily lives, we can come to experience a deeper relationship with the Lord. "Lori writes this book from the inside looking out. She lived this book and has a vantage point few are ever willing to talk about. Walk in her steps as you read and learn how to overcome anger, pain, and disappointment." -Pastor John Hunn, Immanuel Baptist Church

'The Grand Design', by eminent scientist Stephen Hawking, is the latest blockbusting contribution to the so-called New Atheist debate, and claims that the laws of physics themselves brought the Universe into being, rather than God. In this swift and forthright reply, John Lennox, Oxford mathematician and author of 'God's Undertaker', exposes the flaws in Hawking's logic. In lively, layman's terms, Lennox guides us through the key points in Hawking's arguments - with clear explanations of the latest scientific and philosophical methods and theories - and demonstrates that far from disproving a Creator God, they make his existence seem all the more probable.
