If God Is A God Of Love

If God Is A God Of Love

If God really is a God of love, why are there wars? Why is there a hell? Why do people die? Why are there starving people?

Christians are often at a loss to answer these kinds of questions, and quickly go on the defensive. But thankfully, there are practical answers.

In this book, Pastor Tony answers these questions and others in a way that both Christians and non-Christians can understand.

Waging War In The Spirit

Waging War In The Spirit

Spiritual warfare is an area of Christian life that is easily relegated to one of two extremes. It is either seen as irrelevant in our enlightened times and therefore ignored. Or it is viewed as an activity to be engaged in on special occasions when the church participates in a spiritual warfare meeting.

That's just what the devil would like us to think. This book is based on sound Biblical teaching that every Christian, like it or not, is involved in warfare daily. If you're serious about overcoming the devil, read this book.

Learn about Satan's tactics, how important your mind is in spiritual warfare, the power of God's Word and the name of Jesus, and why visualising yourself wearing the armour of God will put you at the devil's mercy.

Buy this book and equip yourself for war now!

The Alcohol Question

The Alcohol Question

Many Christians put the issue of alcohol in the "too-hard" basket. Can we drink alcohol, or not? Confusion reigns.

Many base their beliefs on their own prejudices or experiences. Others base them on the opinions of others.

But God wants us to get our values from His Word, not just popular opinion. Since there is no higher authority than Scripture, this book looks at both Old and New Testaments to discover what God says.

Contemporary Music Theory

However, music theory is an essential part of being a good musician. This book has been designed for contemporary musicians. It doesn't major on Italian musical terms, the rules of four-part harmony and other topics of importance to classical musicians. Rather, topics covered include chord structure, improvisation and chord substitution and the theory necessary to understand them.

Hot Communion Talks by Alli Llewellyn

Hot Communion Talks

One of the highlights of every church service is celebrating the Lord's Supper. This can be a time of meaningful connection with the Lord, or it can be a time when people have a sip of wine, bite on a small piece of wafer, and basically tune out.

One of the challenges is not just the actual act of remembrance by partaking of the communion elements, but ensuring that the words that are spoken during that time are meaningful as well as interesting so that people don't drift off into a different mental space.

This book is designed to present communion talks in such a way as to engage the attention of the audience as well as to minister to them. In all, there are thirty communion talks to help achieve this end.
