A thirty day devotional to build faith and enhance evangelism There is a story, one that runs from the beginning of creation itself, through thousands of years of human history. It is a story of triumphs and disasters, miraculous deeds and terrible betrayals, divine justice and ultimate sacrifice, and of steadfast faith continuing down through generations and across continents to the present day. This is a story that is still going on and will be finished only at the end of time. There have been many incredible adventures along the way, just as there are in the books of Luke and Acts. In these thirty days of devotions, we can zoom in on a very important part of the Christian story and use the lessons it teaches to strengthen our faith and enhance our evangelism. Each day there is an opportunity to dig deeper into the main themes that Luke uses to build his narrative of Christ and the church; pray into the issues Jesus and his apostles faced that we also see in our lives today; reflect on the passage and respond to its teachings; explore "the wider story" and the context; and finally, to meditate on an "evening psalm" to recenter and bring us back to God after the busyness of our day.

How can working parents live wisely with God at the centre, learn to be still and know him, while juggling demands of family and career at today's hectic pace?

Knowing the love of God changes absolutely everything You are loved. It is the single most important thing about you. It is the answer to the deepest longing of every heart, with the potential to change life in every possible way. But what does it really mean to be loved . . . loved by God? And can we truly know it, begin to comprehend it? What difference does it make to our lives? With warmth, wit, and a great depth of wisdom, Jonny Gumbel explores the nature and meaning of this divine love. Drawing on the apostle Paul's epistle to the Romans, he guides us through the letter, highlighting the theme of love and showing how truly powerful it is, bringing joy, authenticity, unity, and purpose, forming the very basis of our identities. Peppered with stories that are marked by the author's self-deprecating humor, it encompasses everything from politics to family life and each illustration is packed with insight. Coming at a time when many of us feel battered and bruised by the uncertainties of life, this compelling book brims with affirmation and hope as it invites us to delve into (or perhaps rediscover) the greatest love story ever told.

"Remember This oozes wisdom, practical help, and above all, understanding."--Rob Parsons, OBE, founder and chairman of Care for the Family From that first angelic role in the nativity play to that first playground love, from cut knees and scuffed shoes, school bullies and World Book Day costume design, life as a parent in the primary years is an emotional roller coaster. Amid the practical chaos of finding swimming goggles, packing lunches, cleaning out the hamster cage, and refereeing sibling squabbles over screen time, many of us long for some help or a little wisdom to get us through. Here is that help. A brand-new edition brimming with sayings, cartoons, and stories in bite-sized chapters to help navigate this challenging season of parenting and family life, and to reassure parents that they're not alone; someone else struggles with feeling judged, with knowing when to act and when to "count to ten," and someone else also accidentally killed Finny the class goldfish over Christmas break (and the class will never know the difference). So encourage parents to grab a cup of coffee and a doughnut, wipe the glitter off the table, and if they forget everything else as a parent, they can remember this . . .

Learn to hear the voice of God speak above what overwhelms us The God of the Bible is a God who speaks, who spoke the world itself into being; his Word is powerful and it will accomplish what he sent it to do. Our God promises to speak to us, to be found by us when we seek him with all our heart. He promises that the old will dream dreams and the young will see visions. But how? What is "God's voice" actually like? Can we really hope to "hear" him today? Yes, we can, argues Bill Cahusac, pastor of Emmaus Road, and not only in church. Whether we're in a supermarket line, at a football game, or out walking, the God of the Bible loves to communicate with us. This beautiful book explores, in the simplest and most practical of ways, some of the important and difficult questions surrounding prophecy. Vulnerable, funny, and relatable, Bill takes readers on a journey of his experience, recounting stories and examples that taught him how to recognize God's voice. Hearing that gentle whisper, he says, comes from spending time with God in his Word and in worship.

Backed by solid, up-to-the minute research and grounded in real life experience, Katharine Hill tackles everything from body confidence, dealing with disappointment to strong emotions, and gives steps to take when challenges come.
