The Discipline of Grace by Jerry Bridges

Does living the Christian life feel like an impossible task?

According to Bridges, many Christians don't have a good grasp of what the gospel message is. In THE DISCIPLINE OF GRACE, he offers a clear and thorough explanation of the gospel and what it means to the believer. Bridges discusses how the same grace that brings us to faith in Christ also disciplines us in Christ, and how we learn to discipline ourselves in the areas of commitment, conviction, choices, watchfulness, and adversity.

The Wounded Heart by Dan Allender

The Wounded Heart (Second Edition) is an intensely personal and specific look at this most "soul deadening" form of abuse. It's personal because it may be affecting you, your spouse, a close friend or neighbor, or someone you know well at church, and it's specific because it goes well beyond the general issues and solutions discussed in other books.

Dr. Allender's book reaches deep into the wounded heart of someone you know, exploring the secret lament of the soul damaged by sexual abuse and laying hold of the hope buried there by the One whose unstained image we all bear.

Discover God's ideal for intimacy. Enticement of the Forbidden tackles infidelity--head on. Sharing honestly from her personal experience, Judy Starr brings hope to those who have slipped. For all women seeking purity of heart, mind and soul she reveals the secret to sustained purity through the power of God.

Much writing about complementary roles in marriage treats the subject theoretically. But how does this actually work in the give-and-take of real marriages, with flawed husbands and flawed wives? What about marriages where the wife out-earns the husband, or has a powerful position outside the home? Scripture says that wives are to respect their husbands. When does "submission" cross the line into destructive co-dependency? Drawing from in-depth interviews, as well as Scripture and her own story, author and speaker Cindy Easley takes a candid, sometimes humorous, and always helpful look at what it means to submit in 21st-century marriages.

Join Susie Larson as she challenges you to fight against the ordinary and move toward the extroardinary. Guiding you through scenarios in which victory is found in the difficult task of responding in faith, Susie walks with you as a friend. Her experiences have shown her that to fight the current of that which is ordinary, you must look to the Lord, who stoops to make the ordinary great.

Have Christians become so preoccupied with the major sins of our society that we have lost sight of our need to deal with our own more subtle sins? Jerry Bridges returns to his trademark theme of holiness and addresses a dozen clusters of specific “acceptable” sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves - such as jealousy, anger, pride, unthankfulness, and judgmentalism.

Prodigals and Those Who Love Them by Ruth Bell Graham

For anyone waiting for a prodigal's return.There is perhaps nothing that brings more angst to a parent's heart than waiting for a prodigal to return home. Beloved author Ruth Bell Graham knew about prodigals--two of her five children were spiritual wanderers. In this time-tested classic, she offers encouragement to those who anxiously wait. Now beautifully repackaged, this book brings peace and hope to all parents of "wayward" children. Ruth Bell Graham (1920-2007) was a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother, and the wife of well-known evangelist Billy Graham.

We live in a sexually impure world. This fact is felt most assuredly by men. As on preacher put it, "...we live in a culture that sweats sensuality from its pores!" A man today can't escape the temptations to sexual sin that come to him via TV, billboards, magazines, and provocatively dressed women. He can run, but he can't hide. The world he lives in is saturated with sexual temptations. This book seeks to come face to face with the growing problem in the church today- sexual purity has become a major concern in homes, churches, and in the hearts of men across the country. This book will provide keys to unlocking freedom in the fight for purity.

There is no pain like parental pain and the love of a parent for a child is like no other. Our children can disappoint us, hurt us, even abuse us but somehow we cannot stop loving them. And yet as much as we love them we cannot live their lives for them. Our children make choices, and sometimes these choices are bad ones, yet so often we feel the guilt ourselves. But is it possible that we have made prodigals of some of our children who never turned their backs on God at all - just on some pseudo-caricature of the Church and discipleship? This book is a call for parents to be released from guilt, for the church to repent of the part it has played and for prayer that the prodigals will come home.
