Max Malikow offers excellent examples of dedication, resilience, and rededication after the experience of loss. This book would be a good text for a course on heroes and heroism as well as a useful resource for a variety of other courses, including ethics, religion, clinical psychology, and pastoral counseling. We never tire of heroic stories, either fictional or real-life. They get our attention and make us wish to be more heroic in our own lives.

It is the purpose of this book to show the relationship of the individual minister (church member) to the collective body of Christ (the church). Paul's second letter to the Corinthians is a transparent inspired account of biblical ministry. He was a true minister to the church, not as a paid professional, but as an individual who served in the kingdom of God. Paul's work as an individual minister ought to be like a flagship for every individual Christian. The modern church often views the pastor as the minister. However, the full counsel of God teaches that every person that belongs to the church of Jesus Christ is a minister. A minister in the church is one who serves in the church faithfully as one who assumes a servant role. This book is an exposition of the Paul's second letter to the Corinthians with a focus on the ministry of the church.

This book shows the validity of constitutional authority and the invasion of postmodern theories in our culture. Postmodern theory has assaulted the western culture on the battleground of absolute truth and reality. If there is no absolute, independent and manifestly defined truth, there is no God. Without God human beings will not understand the purpose of life. Postmodern theory places human experience over abstract objective principles. Postmodernists insist that reality is constructed in the individual mind and must be interpreted relative to each individual. Postmodern theory explains reality based on our perception of all cultural milieu. Christians have a constitution known as the Bible so they will know the truth of reality.

The subjects discussed in this book are serious. Why are they serious? Because God is framing and asking questions that demand an answer. He is not asking rhetorical questions. He expects a definitive answer from us for each of them. A serious God is asking serious questions about serious issues and He expects us to take both Him and the questions seriously. In addition to God's questions, there will also be questions asked by different individuals. Those questions are in terms of what should be known by them from the Law and the Prophets. The Holy Scriptures contain many questions. Some of them are posed by The Lord to His people and followers. Others are posed to His opponents - teachers of the Law and the Pharisees - those who believed they represented righteous standards for the people to obey and follow. This book will examine some of those questions and attempt to ascertain the underlying query posed by those followers and opponents. There are also questions posed by individuals regarding various matters of life and practical applications to faith and practice, which are enlightening. These are not idle questions but those that allow us to know more about the heart and mind of the Lord for His people. By pursuing them and the ensuing answers, it is the hope that each of us will become more aware of the presence of God and His will for us.

The evangelical church has certainly been affected by modernity and the church growth movement. The argument set forth in this book is that although modernity has shaped the character of the evangelical church, the church growth movement is the driving force to implement the tools of modernity in the evangelical church. This book shows in a nutshell how and why the god of the church growth movement prevailed among evangelicals.

This is a daily devotional for Christians. It accompanies daily Bible study.

Prayer is a means of grace offered according to the will of God as expressed in the Bible. Prayer is the speech of the soul. "Prayer is nothing else than the opening up of our heart before God," so said John Calvin. The Psalmist says "Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us" (Psalm 62:8). Christians should empty themselves before the Lord so that their desires are presented to the Lord.God created us, sustains us, governs us, redeemed us and gives us His grace, so it should be natural to offer up our desires to God. It is a great privilege to appear before God with our desires, but because we are sinners we need Christ to intercede for us. Since we are sinners, we must approach Him humbly with a humble heart. Christians will find refuge in God, but they must seek His mercy in humility and confession of sin in prayer.Prayer must be offered earnestly with thanksgiving (Colossians 4:3). The Word of God instructs us to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17). The question is often asked, "How can we pray without ceasing?" This is an action that is habitually repeated at regular intervals with perseverance, but perseverance in prayer is conditioned by a thankful heart.
