Many of humanity's questions are summed up in the single word, "Why?" God has the answers to those questions. They are generally not simple, one-sentence, or even one-paragraph answers--it is possible that your world-view and the entire way you think may be changed if you truly want to receive and understand God's answers. God is willing to reveal His truth, when we truly want to know and act upon it. Do you want to begin to find God's answers to your "why's"? The Joy of Knowing is a six-lesson Bible study that will help you on your way.

In Christ, God calls us to intimacy, to relationship and to walk with Him. This is the longing of every soul and yet many feel that their experience falls short of their hopes. Intimacy brings certainty - knowing who we are, knowing what to do and knowing how to pray. A life of intimacy and certainty is not meant to be the preserve of a few but the privilege of all God's children. This is His invitation to each one of us.John and Pauline Bagg have been on a 30-year journey together with God. In this book they share some of the lessons that they have learnt along the way. They begin at the beginning when they were naïve and taking their first steps of faith together. They continue through to today as part of the International Leadership Team of a global mission movement. They write as a couple because whilst they have shared the journey together, they have each experienced it very differently. They write from the perspective of parents too. Not just as they sought to follow God with a young growing family but also how they seek to pass on the primary call to 'seek first the kingdom' on to their children and the next generation.To this extent the book has broad appeal and something to say to everyone who seeks to deepen their resolve to know, love and serve the Lord. For all those wishing to grow as disciples, discern the Lord's voice and respond to His calling into whatever He has planned and prepared for you. Whether you are taking your first steps or are experienced in walking with the Lord there is something here for you.In the book they touch on questions such as: -Have you ever felt frustrated, disappointed or disillusioned by the seemingly gaping chasm between what you think your christian life should be like and what you actually experience?-Do you believe that 'walking with God' should be our normal, daily experience?-Do you believe that 'walking with God' should be as much (or more) about the journey as it is about the destination?-Did you know that as we walk with God, He works out His purposes in our lives? -Do you believe that it is possible to hear what God is saying?-Did you know that, as a christian, you have the mind of Christ?-Do you believe that God still speaks today?-Do you know with certainty that what you are currently doing is God's will for you?-Do you believe that a group of people can discern what God wants to say to them as a group?-Do you want to start the journey?-Are you sensitive and attentive to the voice of God?-What should we expect to hear from God? -If we have taken steps to get our hearts in the right place, what else can we do to become a more discerning person? -Are you listening?

The Bible's command to "rejoice continually" seems impossible and, frankly, unreasonable. Yet despite the apparent difficulty in fulfilling this commandment, Gregory Forster argues that Calvinism holds the key—namely that "real Calvinism is all about joy." Forster passionately holds to this belief, and systematically demonstrates it by addressing popular misconceptions of what Calvinism is and is not. Dismantling negative expressions of Calvinist theology, Forster positively reiterates its fundamental tenents, showing how God's love is the driving force behind every facet of Calvin's doctrine of salvation. Written accessibly, The Joy of Calvinism is an important addition to the conversation surrounding Calvinism and its advocates. Skeptics and those who have had negative perceptions of Calvinism, as well as Calvinists themselves, will find this a helpful resource for clearing up the controversies and grasping the winsomeness of the doctrines of grace.
