The Book of Covenants is a fresh perspective on the story of redemption as found within the covers of the Christian Bible. God did not choose religion to accomplish His goals, but instead, He carried out His masterful plan of salvation through a series of covenants. Biblical covenants offer great insight into the nature, character, and faithfulness of Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God. These relational covenants give us assurance of Gods blessings and promises while establishing a clear path to eternal life in Jesus Christ. Knowing the terms of these covenants will help the believer live a life pleasing to God with peace and confidence through understanding their expectations of being in a covenant relationship with God.

A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

In this temporal world, the fruit of Christ's disciples is truly eternal. Within Eternal Fruit: Discipleship in Southern Sudan, missionaries Sam and Ginny Cannata share their inspiring real-life story of taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a remote area in Africa. By following God's call to a small Sudanese tribe, the Cannatas discovered firsthand the amazing fruit that comes from making disciples, even those in the most distant, faraway lands. By sharing the wonderful blessings that God brought forth in that remote tribe in southern Sudan, the Cannatas have documented their life-changing travels, trials, and triumphs so that believers everywhere could discover the limitless power of a God who desires to change their own lives as well. After spending thirty-seven years serving and preaching to the people of east and southern Africa, the Cannatas have experienced the ultimate victories and the most challenging hardships of the missionary life, from their arrest in Ethiopia to miraculous moments of witnessing Africans giving their lives to Christ. In Eternal Fruit, you'll join the Cannatas along their autobiographical journey through the wilderness and wonder of their Sudanese mission, where they learned about the significance of discipleship and having a covenant relationship with God, two spiritual topics that are very important for the church to understand. With much of the book written by Sam Cannata, Ginny, his wife, completed his manuscript after his passing in 2017, hoping to place it into the hands of fellow Christians. May this book stir your heart to rekindle your love for Jesus, your passion for making disciples, and your appreciation for a covenant relationship with God. Open your eyes to the saving grace of Christ as you step into life on the mission field, and be encouraged to place your faith in the one who holds the world.

Thanks to coded notes taken by the teenager John Pynchon, this volume virtually transports the reader back to Sundays in the seventeenth century, when the community gathered to listen to the Rev. George Moxon. The setting was Springfield, Massachusetts, founded in 1636 by John's father William Pynchon. As a note-taker, John recorded just what he heard in this rare resource, which allows the reader to listen in on the weekly sermons he documented in the 1640s. This symbol-by-symbol transcription into a word-for-word text preserves the character of the minister's original remarks, and reveals Moxon as an able, engaging speaker who offered encouragement--and challenge--to the growing plantation he faithfully served through its earliest years on the edge of a wilderness. Not only do the sermons in this collection provide snippets of popular theological discourse at particular moments in the 1600s; they also point to issues of the day, and they help us get inside the thoughts and word patterns of that era.

Thousands of congregations are in serious trouble. Children are not being taught the faith. Disciples are not being made. Lives are not being transformed. The poor are not being blessed. Communities are not being redeemed. These congregations know something is terribly wrong. And in most cases, the problems have little to do with the pastor's prayer life or whether the pastor takes weekly Sabbath time. In fact, in many of these churches members deeply respect their pastors as sincerely spiritual people of utmost personal faith and integrity. But they need more from their pastoral leaders. They need leaders who define ministry in terms of fruitfulness as well as faithfulness. They need pastors and lay leaders who ask about the outcomes of any given ministry or program, not just its process. Mostly, they need a vision of ministry that focuses on changing people’s lives. Absent that vision, ministry will fail. In this helpful volume, Lovett Weems and Tom Berlin provide readers with the tools they need to assess the fruit their ministry bears in the lives of their congregations, their communities, and the world.
