Following Jesus: Biblical Reflections on Discipleship

Author(s): N.T. Wright
Publisher: Eerdmans
Price: $0.99      

Featuring a brand-new cover design, this edition of N. T. Wright’s popular Following Jesus — first published in 1995 — includes a new preface in which Wright reflects on the book’s origin and significance for him personally and on its continued relevance to believers even though our global context has changed.

Wright first outlines the essential messages of six major New Testament books — Hebrews, Colossians, Matthew, John, Mark, and Revelation — looking in particular at their portrayal of Jesus and what he accomplished in his sacrificial death. In the second part of the book Wright takes six key New Testament themes — resurrection, rebirth, temptation, hell, heaven, and new life in a new world — and considers their significance for the lives of present-day disciples.

Heaven: The Place We Long For

Author(s): Dwight Lyman Moody
Publisher: Aneko Press
Price: FREE      

For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one that is coming. – Hebrews 13:14

Is heaven a reality to you, or does it still appear far off and uncertain?

The goal of this book is to whet your appetite for heaven. A careful look at Scripture reveals that heaven is what every born-again believer is longing for. Our time on earth is only in a temporary dwelling place, and heaven is the true home of all God’s children. A study of heaven can change how you approach each day, and even how you view others around you. As real as this life is, we are assured that heaven is just as real. While we must not neglect our present God-given duties, we must at the same time be preparing for our future home and should even be looking forward with great anticipation to our eternal home.

Discipling: How to Help Others Follow Jesus

Author(s): Mark Dever
Publisher: Crossway
Price: $4.99       (Dec 23 – 29)

Before ascending to heaven, Jesus instructed his followers to “make disciples of all nations.” But what does this command actually entail? What does it look like for Christians to care for one another’s spiritual well-being and growth? In this introduction to the basics of discipling, veteran pastor and author Mark Dever uses biblical definitions and practical examples to show how Christians can help one another become more like Christ every day. The eighth volume in the 9Marks: Building Healthy Churches series, this short book explains how discipling should function in the context of the local church, teaching pastors and church leaders how to cultivate a culture of edification and growth in their congregations.

Starved

Author(s): Amy Seiffert
Publisher: Tyndale
Price: $3.99       (Ends Jan 31)

We’re consuming, we’re filling up, we’re taking in, but at the end of the day, our souls are still starving.

So many of us feel dissatisfied and empty—emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. Our lives are rushed, overflowing, and we’re low on joy, fulfillment, peace, and purpose. In our spare moments, we turn to our phones, social media, and a million other little things, desperate for relief, but over time, these distractions become an unhealthy diet for our souls—uplifting us for a moment but ultimately denying us the nourishment we need. When we overconsume these imposters that promise a temporary boost but actually leave us weak and weary, we become anxious, fearful, and depleted. These addicting substitutes keep us coming back for more, never providing satisfaction.

But there is hope. We don’t have to stay stuck and malnourished. We can become free of shame, disappointment, and anxiety.

In Starved, popular author and teacher Amy Seiffert shows readers how to stop ingesting spiritual junk food and offers simple and replenishing practices like silence, service, and Sabbath that can bring us closer to Jesus. She encourages us to put down our phones, set aside our pride, and let go of the hustle so that we can receive a spiritual diet change that will leave us delightfully content, spiritually healthy, and free to experience the goodness of Jesus.
