10 Women Who Overcame Their Past (Dayspring MacLeod)
This book contains the stories of ten women whose circumstances and choices led them to a place that seemed far removed from the fruitful, joy–filled life we are called to live in Christ. But each of their stories is a testament to the work God does through his imperfect children. Their stories will encourage and inspire, and remind you that you are not alone in your struggles. The names of some of these women are well–known, some are less so. The first five stories are about relationships with other people; the next five stories are about inner struggles. Overcoming Sexual Sin & Identity – Rosaria Butterfield Difficult Marriage and Divorce – Joy Davidman Bereavement – Elisabeth Elliot Singleness – Betsie & Corrie ten Boom Overcoming with Forgiveness – Betsie & Corrie ten Boom Eating Disorders – Christie Dondero Bettwy Illness – Susannah Spurgeon False Beliefs – Doreen Virtue Self–Righteousness – Susanna Wesley The Fear of Man – Sarah Edwards Through exploring how other women of Christ’s Kingdom began anew in him, you will be encouraged on your own path of joy and freedom. Although you may not be in the same position as these women, there are things we can learn from each of them. In every chapter, MacLeod focuses on bearing fruit for Christ even in these circumstances and includes questions to think through and discuss how the truths learned by these women could be applied to your own life.

2,000 Years of Christ’s Power (Nick Needham )
TAKE NOTE PROMOTION

In many ways, I confess I do not feel especially at home in the Age of Reason. My personal roots are far more among those of the Early Church. Still, I gladly admit I cannot help feeling my heart kindled as I read about the mighty deeds wrought in and through the Evangelical preachers of that age.Thoroughly researched with beautifully linked arguments, biographies, context and discussions, Needham provides a riveting text: balancing fact and understanding in the wisdom of experience. The book offers a wealth of knowledge for pastors, missionaries, students and professors as they pursue their own education into the response of Christians during the 18th century towards these shifts in the tides of the affairs of men.Covering the period bracketing the Enlightenment Nick Needham’s new volume in the 2000 Years of Christ’s Power series, covers the social, economic, political and evangelical changes across two continents.

Review... helpfully delineates the variegated state of professing Christendom in this crucial era with magisterial vim and verve. Highly recommended!--Michael A. G. Haykin (Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)

As always, Needham remains attentive to the big picture, yet he also manages to maintain a grasp of the lesser known details throughout. Especially notable is Needham's inclusion of the Eastern and Russian Orthodox Church. Highly recommended.--Jonathan Master (President, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, South Carolina)

As he assesses the European Enlightenment, evangelical revivals ... and developments within Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy from his consistently Reformed perspective, Needham provides illuminating reading for those who share that perspective, but perhaps even more for those who do not.--Mark A. Noll (Author of 'America's Book: The Rise and Decline of a Bible Civilization, 1794-1911')

These volumes should be compulsory reading, first for pastors and elders called to teach and defend the faith, but also for Christians in general who desire to deepen their knowledge of the Saviour's power throughout the church's history.--Ian Hamilton (President, Westminster Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Newcastle, UK )

A Good Return (John C. Lennox )
TAKE NOTE PROMOTION

The world of work is expanding. New technologies, industries and means of meeting apart–and–still–together, have presided in the transition of the workplace into a fast, digital and busier–than–ever era. In whichever sector you care to name, work is increasing exponentially, for reducing rewards and benefits. It is more than easy to complain, drag one’s feet while getting out of the door, and face daily tasks with an apathetic attitude.A Good Return does not provide maxims to get you through the day. Instead, it is a book that encourages Christians to view their workspace, be it field, car, classroom or office, as an avenue of worship.John C. Lennox has crafted a book with thoughtful, biblical and evangelical deliberation on our behaviour in, and towards, our work. With his trademark clarity, faithfulness and wisdom, Lennox curates room for a wider discussion on Christian approaches toward salaries, time management, motivation and attitudes amidst a workspace environment.

All My Knotted-Up Life (Beth Moore)
TAKE NOTE PROMOTION

New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and Wall Street Journal bestseller!

An incredibly thoughtful, disarmingly funny, and intensely vulnerable glimpse into the life and ministry of a woman familiar to many but known by few.“It’s a peculiar thing, this having lived long enough to take a good look back. We go from knowing each other better than we know ourselves to barely sure if we know each other at all, to precisely sure that we don’t. All my knotted-up life I’ve longed for the sanity and simplicity of knowing who’s good and who’s bad. I’ve wanted to know this about myself as much as anyone. This was not theological. It was strictly relational. God could do what he wanted with eternity. I was just trying to make it here in the meantime. As benevolent as he has been in a myriad of ways, God has remained aloof on this uncomplicated request.” – Beth Moore, New York Times best-selling author, speaker, visionary, and founder of Living Proof Ministries Beth Moore has devoted her whole life to helping women across the globe come to know the transforming power of Jesus. An established writer of many acclaimed books and Bible studies for women on spiritual growth and personal development, Beth now unveils her own story in a much-anticipated debut memoir.

All My Knotted-Up Life includes:8 pages of photos, an exploration of Beth’s childhood, love, marriage, and motherhood, insights on what it was like when she was “waist-deep in a season of loss and a discussion of her 2018 break with the Southern Baptist movement. Details the origins of Living Proof Ministries. All My Knotted-Up Life is told with surprising candor about some of the personal heartbreaks and behind-the-scenes challenges that have marked Beth’s life. But beyond that, it’s a beautifully crafted portrait of resilience and survival, a poignant reminder of God’s enduring faithfulness, and proof positive that if we ever truly took the time to hear people’s full stories . . . we’d all walk around slack-jawed.

Review

Living Proof Ministries founder Moore opens up about a range of topics, including her split with the Southern Baptist Church, in this memoir.Born in Wisconsin and raised in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, in 1957, the author regularly attended the Southern Baptist Church from a young age. She describes in detail her immersion baptism at 9 years of age, remarking, "I'd been buried with Christ in baptism and raised . . . to walk in newness of life." Moore's upbringing is described with a veneer of normality, recalling family camping vacations in a Volkswagen bus. However, a darkness is evident when the author states, "No kind of good dad does what my dad did to me." Her memoir approaches not only the horror of abuse, but also the early trauma of her mother's deteriorating mental health. At 18, Moore experienced a distinct moment when she sensed "God's presence" and felt a call to vocational Christian service. Milestones in Moore's life include marrying and becoming a mother and founding Living Proof Ministries in 1994, dedicated to "encouraging women to know and love Jesus through the study of Scripture." She attained celebrity status with her church and never shied away from expressing her opinions. The author candidly addresses the time she called out Donald Trump following the publication of the notorious Access Hollywood tape in 2016: "You think this kind of talk is okay? . . . Do you happen to know women who have had hands forced on them?" Moore also discusses how she handled backlashes and Twitter blow-ups, along with her motivations for ending her affiliation with the Southern Baptist Church.Moore's memoir is punctuated with thoughtful statements that elucidate her understanding of life, as when she discusses the mentors that inspired her the most: "Each made a deep indentation, a bold point with a permanent marker. Draw lines connecting them, and they form a triangle that shaped my entire ministry life." Such solemnity is offset with a generous dose of humor, such as when Moore recalls her baptism: "Even though this is what I'd come for, I was still a good bit surprised by the swiftness of the dunking." In such moments, those familiar with Moore will recognize her oratorical energy in her writing. When examining her deteriorating relationship with the Baptist church, Moore remains candid and does not overlook self-scrutiny: "Something was happening to us. Something bad. Maybe it had been happening all along and I was too blind to see it. Too busy in my own world. Too privileged. Too partial. Too immersed." Moore writes of abuse she faced as a child and does so with graceful prose: "Different slices of the same secrets are on our plates." The author lays down her beliefs with bold clarity throughout: "I am pro-life as well. Not just antiabortion, but pro-life, across the board from conception to coffin or cremation." Readers may not share Moore's beliefs, but the one million Twitter followers she's amassed will be eager to learn more about the life story that forged this well-known evangelist.The frank views expressed in this remembrance will divide opinion, but the quality of Moore's writing is indisputable.--Kirkus Reviews

In this illuminating memoir, Living Proof Ministries founder Moore (Chasing Vines) plumbs the spiritual and personal depths of her life. Born the fourth of five children, Moore grew up in the "bowels of Arkansas," idolizing her older siblings and doing odd jobs at the movie theater her father managed. After the family moved to Houston when Moore was in her teens, she yearned for community and found it in church, inspiring a godly commitment that became the foundation of her life. Tracing her spiritual evolution, Moore recalls moments large and small: a moment in a bathroom during her college years when she spontaneously "sensed the Lord's presence" intensely enough to make her "grip both sides of the sink"; and, at 18, dedicating herself to vocational church service in front of her congregation. Moore takes readers through her career, including teaching at Houston's First Baptist Church and writing Bible studies; she also discusses her 2018 break with the Southern Baptist movement because of an uproar about women preaching in its churches. Moore proves to be a consummate storyteller as she candidly charts her life's ups and downs and shares insight into her career as a high-profile evangelical Bible teacher. Moore's fans will devour this.--Publishers Weekly

Amazing Grace (Bruce Hindmarsh & Craig Borlase)
TAKE NOTE PROMOTION

Amazing Grace is the surprising true story of John Newton, author of the song that has touched millions. A biography that reads like a novel, it reveals Newton’s dramatic story of sin and salvation as a slave trader before his ultimate transformation to speaking out against the horror of slavery. His story speaks to the brokenness within us all and our need for God’s amazing grace—and reveals the truth behind his song.Amazing Grace is based on years of research on the life and writings of John Newton. It tells of a prodigal who returns home, and a young love that defies the odds; of a young man whose life is torn by grief and wounded by the cruelty of others, following his descent into deeper suffering and finally into the brutal world of the slave trade. Newton rejects God repeatedly but is rescued by a divine mercy that reaches deeper than he could ever have imagined as he ultimately faces his past and repents.Newton’s story is shocking, and Amazing Grace does not try to airbrush or excuse his faults. There are glaring contradictions in the life of a ship’s Captain who retreats to his cabin to study his Bible and write tender love letters to his wife while hundreds of slaves lie in chains in the hold below.

The profound lessons from his life are applicable to us today, helping us to:
Discover that the need for grace is universal and offers the deepest hope for overcoming hatred
Be honest about our lives even when we are ashamed and face seemingly unresolvable problems
Look for grace when life is far from perfect and doesn't match up to our expectations Trust that our mistakes and regrets, no matter how deep, can be redeemed in the end Since the first public singing of “Amazing Grace” almost 250 years ago, every generation has been profoundly moved by the song, and now readers can connect with John Newton’s story like never before. In these days of extreme polarization when beliefs about race, church, and politics have all become deeply divisive in society, we need grace more than ever. We need stories like this one that talk honestly about the human condition but even more about the relentless love of God and his forgiveness of sins.

And God Said (Farid Rahme Abou)
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED IF THERE ARE ANSWERS TO LIFE'S MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS? WHERE DID WE COME FROM, WHERE ARE WE GOING, AND THEREFORE WHY ARE WE HERE? What if the story you've been told all your life, about everything coming into being through time and chance, with no real purpose except to survive, was wrong? What if instead, science pointed to a Designer, who in turn had something to say about your life? This book, written with great clarity and conviction, allows you to compare these big questions against evidence from true science, so that you can research and discover the need for an Intelligent Designer. As well as core content on subjects like the Big Bang, Dating Methods, Dinosaur Fossils, and the Flood, this updated edition includes new chapters on DNA, Unfossilised Dinosaur Bones, and C14 Dating. And God Said... will give an answer to diligent enquirers and to vociferous critics alike. It has been recommended by three science professors who, like many in their field over the last two hundred years, find no contradiction between science and faith.

Broken Planet (Sharon Dirckx)
TAKE NOTE PROMOTION

In Broken Planet, Dr Sharon Dirckx, scientist and apologist, offers a measured and thoughtful case for how there could be a God of love that allows natural disasters.The question of suffering is one of the greatest hurdles to Christian faith. When believers respond to the question of why there is suffering in the world, they often turn to the free-will defence. This states that humans make choices for good or ill that can bring about suffering in the lives of others. However, that doesn't explain why children die of cancer, or why the latest earthquakes, tsunamis or pandemics have been so destructive. These seem to happen not because of our choices, but in spite of them. So how do we make sense of these events?Dr. Sharon Dirckx blends argument, science and first-person narrative in this unique book, weaving answers to real questions with compassion and empathy, while also acknowledging the element of mystery we will always live with while on earth.Dr Dirckx addresses topics such as:If God exists, why would he make a world with earthquakes and tsunamis?Why is there so much suffering in a natural disaster?Are natural disasters God's judgement?Is my illness a punishment from God?What kind of God would allow natural disasters and diseases?If you have ever struggled to reconcile the idea of a loving God with all the pain in our world, this book will encourage you that belief in such a God is not as unreasonable as it may seem. In fact, it may be where God is revealed most profoundly.

Review

Natural evil is one of the toughest questions that Christians grapple with. Sharon has combined real-life accounts with insightful theological reflections to create a book that will help anyone looking for answers. Most importantly, Sharon explains why, despite the suffering and evil we face, Christians can offer the redemptive hope of Christ to a broken world. Thoroughly recommended.' -- Justin Brierley, host and author of Unbelievable?'

Broken Planet is a book that speaks deeply to the question, "If there is a good God, why is the created world riddled with natural disasters which wreak havoc and devastation?" In this honest and profound exploration, Broken Planet addresses the pain that can be associated with this question, while opening up fresh and meaningful avenues for thought and consideration. Amongst these perspectives are moving and inspiring accounts of humanity's longing for justice, restoration, hope and a willingness to sacrifice for others, which provoke one to consider the power and presence of goodness within a broken planet. Sharon has provided a helpful and impressive response to a difficult question.' -- Lara Buchanan, Speaker, OCCA The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics

'Broken Planet is an honest, insightful and much-needed book. Dr Dirckx does not shy away from the intellectual and emotional challenge of natural disasters. As a scientist, she brings a unique perspective to the difficult question of how a loving God could allow earthquakes, forest fires, viruses, tsunamis and other kinds of natural forces that often cause such pain and devastation. This is my new go-to book on the natural problem of evil.' -- Sean McDowell, Professor at Biola University and the author or co-author of more than twenty books, including Evidence that Demands a Verdict

'If you've ever thought that belief in God cannot be squared with the existence of a natural world that teems with viruses, parasites, earthquakes, tsunami and a host of other horrible ways to kill us, then this compelling, informative and lucidly argued book will make you think again.' -- Professor Nick Megoran, School of Geography, Politics and Sociology, Newcastle University, UK, and author of Big Questions in an Age of Global Crises

'I don't recommend this book for bedtime reading, for it raises profound and disturbing questions. But therein lies its greatest value. Sharon Dirckx offers no easy answers. In fact, she makes clear that we will never fully understand natural disasters this side of eternity. But her book compelled me to examine my shallow assumptions and dig down to bedrock truths about God, our broken world and our ultimate hope.' -- Glenn Oeland, Senior Editor, National Geographic'

How can there be a good God when there are hurricanes, tsunami and starvation? This question is often overlooked in conversations around the problem of evil. Rather than shying away from disaster, disease and death, Sharon Dirckx demonstrates that Christianity has the resources to face these issues - as well as to give us hope in the midst of them.' -- Lee Strobel, New York Times bestselling author and founding director, Lee Strobel Center, Colorado Christian University, USA

'The occurrence of disasters and all the associated grief and suffering that they cause poses a major problem for both religious and secular people. In a series of thoughtful chapters, Sharon Dirckx discusses how we might approach this problem, finally landing on a Christian perspective of hope even in the midst of perplexity. The chapters are interspersed with moving personal reflections from both survivors and aid workers that keep the discussion grounded; they brought tears to my eyes.' -- Bob White, FRS, Emeritus Professor of Geophysics, University of Cambridge, UK

'Using stories, science, Scripture and philosophy, Sharon helps us to think through the problem of suffering caused by natural disasters. This moving book is honest, and yet it is grounded in the hope of the Christian message.' -- Clare Williams, founder of Get Real Apologetics

Review

A must-read for anyone wanting to understand more of the situation, status and cultural treatment of women in Nepal, even today in the twenty-first century. You will find stories of the amazing courage, inner strength and endurance that these women show in facing incredibly difficult situations, including the added hardship and stigma of contracting leprosy. We also see the power of the gospel and healing love of Christ reaching to them, mainly through God’s Nepali servants, but foreigners too, who specifically believe they are called to serve leprosy sufferers in Nepal. We see the Nepali church that accepts them as brothers and sisters in Christ just as they are. I learnt new things about the negative, oppressive, unjust culture towards women in Nepal that I hadn’t known before. An inspiring, moving book that challenges us to pray for and work for justice and change for all the women of Nepal. --Peter Bisset, missionary with International Nepal Fellowship for 35 years
