Jesus said no one comes to the Father except through him. But in our inclusive world, such an exclusive claim isn't popular. Believers today face persistent pressure to abandon this belief, which the world sees as antiquated at best and hateful at worst. What we need is godly encouragement to stay the course and courage to share the gospel compassionately with those around us.

From award-winning Christian fiction author Laurie Larsen comes something a little different ... A life-long Christian, I've read the Bible several times. But this time was different. My goal wasn't to just journey from cover to cover and consider it done. You know, cross it off my list and move on. I wanted to actually learn something that would impact my life. So for a year, I read my chronological Bible. And when something confused me or interested me or I wanted to learn more, I jotted it down. During Year 2, I went back and did just that -- I researched, asked questions, strived to ...

Short daily reflections from one of the world's favourite adventurers. Best-selling author Bear Grylls has survived a free-fall parachute accident that left him with a broken back, possibly unable to walk again; falling down a mountain in the Rockies, severing a finger in the Vietnam jungle, a broken shoulder in Antarctica. He passed the gruelling training to join the SAS, crossed the North Atlantic in an open inflatable boat, and held the highest ever open-air formal dinner party, in a balloon at 25,000 feet.

Miriam! What a fascinating person. What a joy it has been to unpack her life story. I do hope you find her as enthralling as I did. The previous book, Miriam Part I: Devoted Sister, told of a little girl who saved the life of her baby brother, Moses. We traced her girlhood years as she faced the horrors of belonging to a large and rapidly-growing nation of slaves, owned and ill-treated by the Pharaoh of Egypt. Despite their conditions her parents, Amram and Jochebed, managed to instill in their daughter a rich faith in the one true God, Yahweh. This book takes up Miriam's story at around ...

Colossians 3:11 tells us that God is “over all and through all and in all.” It is easy to see Him in the birth of a new baby, the glories of a magnificent garden, or the joy of a wedding ceremony. But what of the times when we don’t notice him? The difficult times? The occasions when we don’t expect Him to show up? In these seven devotional readings, Shirley Corder encourages you to look for God in the Unexpected. Places such as * the technology that has so much influence over our lives today * the dark prisons of life * the cold place of a cancer diagnosis and more.

What does the word “Gethsemane” mean to you? What do you think of when you hear it? For us, it is the starting point for an examination of the last day Jesus spent on Earth. The primary reason for starting this 40-day devotional journey with the Garden of Gethsemane is the dramatic change in tone as the disciples walked with Jesus from the Upper Room to his private place of prayer. On that walk, Jesus told his followers, “This very night you will fall away from me.” Jesus spoke of his death, his resurrection, and meeting the disciples again in Galilee. Imagine how that announcement ...
