John F. MacArthur Jr. Bücher

Stress has become part of our daily lives. We worry about our jobs, our relationships, and our families. And while there's no lack of remedies for anxiety, no solution seems to offer true peace of mind. John MacArthur, Jr. believes that peace is not only possible, it's a divine mandate. Drawing from a rich legacy of teaching and ministry, MacArthur puts aside cultural cures to uncover the source of our anxiety and stress. Based on solid Biblical insights, Anxious for Nothing shares how we can overcome uncertainty, defeat doubt, and be truly worry-free. This revised and updated edition includes a guide for both personal and group study and features discovery questions, suggestions for prayer, and activities, all designed to connect life-changing truths with everyday living.

In the distance, a figure, just barely a speck on the horizon, slowly approaches his boyhood home. He hasn't been there in years and is nervous about showing his face. Years ago he wished his father would drop dead, took his share of an inheritance, and lived a shameful life. With all the wealth squandered, his desperate poverty has driven him back to his father's house. At the same time, an elderly man, distinguished and handsomely dressed, sees a far-off silhouette. Could it be? he thinks to himself, not daring to let his hopes up, refusing to believe his son would ever come home. But what is a vague, repressed hope becomes the undeniable truth that his long-lost son draws near. He runs recklessly to meet him. Grace for You , taken from Dr. John MacArthur's best-selling book A Tale of Two Sons , explains the hidden dynamics of Jesus' most well known parable, The Parable of the Prodigal Son. It gives you a brief but powerful look into the homecoming of the son, the unthinkable response of the father, and the often overlooked truth about the older brother who spurns his return. In these pages you will rediscover the depths of god's redemption.

Go with the flow. Times change. Nothing ever stays the same. So proclaims the voice of our age. But is this wisdom of the world congruous with the wisdom of God? Is the church really too old-fashioned, or has it turned a blind eye as the world crept in and redefined God's commands and His power? In fifteen clearly defined essays, John H. Armstrong and fourteen other evangelical leaders examine exactly what the sufficiency of Scripture and the authority of the Gospel entail theologically and what that means to us as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. What does the name 'evangelical' mean historically, and how has its definition been altered? Is theology really important to the modern church? What about 'seeker-sensitive' churches? Should we manipulate the gospel to reach those it would otherwise offend? All sorts of people are claiming they've had 'revelations from God.' Does God still speak to us apart from the Bible? Can Scripture really heal hurting people? Isn't that the job of 'trained professionals?'Examine the answers to these and other tough questions with some of the leading theologians of our time, as they respond to the challenges brought by neoevangelicalism to the authority of the Living Word.
