Finally Alive: What Happens When we are Born Again by John Piper $14.99 | Paperback | 208 pages | Christian Focus Publications OUR PRICE: $11.50 When Jesus said to Nicodemus, 'You must be born again', the devout and learned religious leader was unsure what that meant. Not much has changed. Today 'born again Christians' fill churches that are seen as ineffective at best and hardly recognizably Christian in any way. The term 'born again' has been devalued both in society and in the church. Those claiming to be 'born again' live lives that are indistinguishable from those who don't; they sin the same, embrace injustice the same, covet the same, do almost everything the same. Being 'born again' is now defined by what people say that they believe. The New Testament however defines Christians very differently. It is of enormous consequence that we know what being born again really means, and that Christians know how to communicate this to others. "I cannot too strongly celebrate the publication of this book." -- D.A. Carson "Unpacks the truth, the necessity, and the process of the new birth clearly and beautifully." -- Bruce Ware Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:

The Gospel-Driven Life: Being Good News People in a Bad News World by Michael Horton $19.99 | Hardcover | 272 pages | Baker Books OUR PRICE: $16.50 Michael Horton's newest book! Just released, October 2009. When did the good news become just good advice? Christianity doesn't work as just a moral philosophy or code of ethics. It makes sense only when it is built upon the foundation of the gospel, the good news. The simple message that God has done everything he requires to reconcile sinners to himself is not just the church's slogan, but its lifeblood. In this candid and hopeful book, Michael Horton challenges us to reorient our faith and our practice toward the transformative, Christ- centered gospel--both in the church and in the world.

Worldliness: Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World by C.J. Mahaney, foreword by John Piper $12.99 | Hardcover | 192 pages | Crossway Books OUR PRICE: $10.00 Every Christian would be in shock if we could discover how far the infection and presence of worldliness in our thinking has permeated us; Mahaney's newest book helps open our eyes to this - to learn to relate to the world while resisting its influence upon us. We're swamped with technology and prosperity. We're bombarded with endless luxuries: fine clothes, hot cars, vacations fit for a king, entertainments in abundance. Yet this world, which offers so many pleasures, is passionately opposed to God and the truth of His Word. Are we passionately opposed to this world? Let this book search you - and hopefully, transform you - in this area. We all deal with sinful cravings, the lust of the eyes, the boasting in what we have or do. Let's learn more about how to engage this fallen world and boldly preach the gospel, yet not be conformed and ultimately seduced by it. As we learn to identify the presence of worldliness in the areas of media, modesty, music, and material possessions, we can have a chance to resist its influence in their lives and instead pursue the higher joys of our eternal inheritance.
