  Additional Info
  Numerous books set out to help Christian parents in the challenging mission of raising their children well-so what’s different about this one? Well, the answer’s in the title! It’s not about how the gospel fits into Christian family life, but how family life should fit into the gospel-God’s greatest purpose for this universe, achieved in Christ.

  Many books aim to raise up competent, balanced parents and well-trained, well-rounded children. But Tim Chester and Ed Moll focus on families growing God-knowing, Christ-confessing, grace-receiving, servant-hearted, mission-minded believers-adults and children together.

  Christian families should be about…
  – not just making good citizens but also church planters, missionaries, reformers, servants and evangelists
  – not just learning about God but also showing Him to others;
  – not just controlling behaviour but also changing the heart;
  – not just parents and children, but being an integral part of the wider church family.

  In twelve concise chapters, Gospel-Centered Family takes us through the major Bible principles for family life, challenging us to give up our ‘respectable’ middle-class idols, and to become the distinctively different people that God, through His gospel, calls us to be.

  Additional Info
  It’s the hot topic of the moment. Christians, the church and the Bible seem to be out of step with modern attitudes towards homosexuality. And there is growing hostility towards those who hold a different view. So is God homophobic? And what do we say, and how do we relate to to both Christians and non Christians who experience same-sex attraction.

  In this short, simple book, Sam Allberry wants to help confused Christians understand what God has said about these questions in the scriptures, and offers a positive and liberating way forward through the debate.

  Further Reading

  Additional Info
  Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage does not come flagged up under a heading of “marriage”. It’s not just the famous “marriage passages” that shape a gospel-centred marriage, but the whole Bible-story of God’s good creation, humanity’s wicked rebellion and God’s gracious redemption.

  To understand why marriages struggle-as they all do-we need to understand the nature of our sin. To make marriages work, we need to understand how to apply the truth about God and His salvation.

  This study guide on Christian marriage focuses on how the Gospel shapes the practical realities of everyday life. Author Tim Chester lifts the lid on many of the common pressure points that modern couples face, and shows how a proper understanding of the Gospel can shape a response.

  Kingdom Of Power

  $24.99

  Simple. Practical. Powerful. That’s the gospel of the kingdom! Wherever God’s kingdom rules on earth, it is visibly demonstrated.

  The kingdom of God is His will exercised on earth as it is in heaven. Each time Jesus announced the good news of the kingdom, sin, sickness, demons, poverty, and death could not remain. Likewise, Jesus did not authorize the church to preach a gospel of mere words. He empowered us to proclaim the good news with supernatural evidence of miracles, healings, and deliverances. We are carriers of the kingdom, which is revealed in and through us by the Holy Spirit.

  The kingdom is a reality today-not just in the future-and it may be applied to each circumstance we encounter in life. Through the studies in The Kingdom of Power (Spirit-Led Bible Study), you will learn how to…

  *Enter the kingdom of God
  *Demonstrate God’s existence through tangible evidence
  *Manifest healings and deliverances
  *Expand the kingdom in your God-given “territory”
  *Drive out the kingdom of darkness
  *Overcome the “impossible”
  *Rule on earth as God’s king and priest

  Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21). The only thing you need to do is to demonstrate it here and now!

  This book is designed as a stand-alone Bible study. It may be completed independently by individual students or be used in a group setting, such as a Bible study, a Sunday school class, a course on the foundations of the Christian faith, or a prayer group.

  What Is The Gospel

  $14.99

  This newest addition to the IXMarks series presents a clear, straightforward statement of the gospel, the third mark of a healthy church. What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God. Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Paul’s systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.
