The Gospel according to God: Rediscovering the Most Remarkable Chapter in the Old Testament

The Grace and Truth Paradox: Responding with Christlike Balance (LifeChange Books) Hardcover
Christians trying to model their lives after Jesus may find that He gets buried under lists, rules, and formulas. Now bestselling author Randy Alcorn offers a simple two-point checklist for Christlikeness based on John 1:14. The test consists of balancing grace and truth, equally and unapologetically. Grace without truth deceives people, and ceases to be grace. Truth without grace crushes people, and ceases to be truth. Alcorn shows the reader how to show the world Jesus — offering grace instead of the world’s apathy and tolerance, offering truth instead of the world’s relativism and deception.
The Heroes of Faith
Heroes of Faith, as only A. W. Pink can, presents the persons and events of Hebrews Chapter Eleven both in understandable terms and with deep spiritual insight. The reader will agree this is at once a devotional study of immense practical value, and a biblical exposition with doctrinal clarity. The author skillfully develops the character of Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, and the Judges. Faith itself is expounded in chapters on its excellence, perseverance, reward, achievements, and pinnacle. In all, Christ is glorified as the great Object of faith in the whole of the Scriptures.
The Holy Spirit
Wherever Christianity has been a living power, the doctrine of the Holy Spirit has uniformly been regarded, equally with the Atonement and Justification by faith, as the article of a standing or falling church. The distinctive feature of Christianity as it addresses itself to man’s experience, is the work of the Spirit, which not only elevates it far above all philosophical speculation, but also above every other form of religion. That the Holy Spirit is to be publicly owned and equally honored with the Father and the Son is very evident from the terms of the great commission, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
