Is God really in control?' This is a question confronting Christians today - but it is not a new one. In this practical, thought-provoking and inspiring collection of Bible teachings taken from The Keswick Convention 2004, many speakers seek to tackle this seemingly timeless topic.Jonathan Lamb shows how the question was faced by the prophet Habakkuk, as Israel's world seemed to be crashing around their ears, and how he answered it with a ringing 'Yes!' Peter Maiden expands the essential message of how all Christians must take a stand against Phariseeism and Ian Coffey uses the example of John the Baptist to examine the theme of disappointment with God.This title is brought to you by Keswick Ministries.

The contemporary Church finds itself in the context of an ecological crisis. How can we be equipped to live as disciples in such a world? Chris Voke argues that public worship plays a role in shaping the vision and values of a community and empowering it for daily life. Thus the restoration of the dimension of creation and the vision of God as creator to the content of worship services will be critical in shaping communities that can face contemporary challenges. The book shows that a grasp of the links between creation and redemption and an appreciation of the significance of Jesus' humanity will enable Christ-centred worship that gives a proper place and value to creation.This book aims to challenge present practice, to propose changes in public worship, to justify these theologically and practically and to show ways in which a vision of the Creator and his creation may be incorporated into liturgy by those responsible for planning and leading worship. Filled with theological insight and practical examples this book will be of great help to church leaders, worship leaders and theologians.

She moved to America to work as a nanny where the downward spiral continued however despite other spiritual influences Deborah became aware of God's call on her life. After returning to the UK, Deborah gained a degree in theology from the LST, helped her father turn to Christ, and in so doing, restored their relationship.

This book attempts to unpack the gift of prophecy providing practical tools in the area of supernatural hearing, seeing, and speaking. The evangelical and charismatic world is increasingly encouraging its members to prophesy and many emerging prophets are appearing.

This book attempts to practically unpack this gift - dealing with some of the common problems that crop up - and to help with practical tools in the world of supernatural hearing, seeing, and speaking.

In recent years Buddhism has attracted a fast-growing following in North America and Europe. In part, this is because Buddhism seems to offer peace and inner tranquillity, a profound spirituality and insight into ultimate reality yet without the need for belief in a God. To many spiritual seekers in the post-Christian West this 'spirituality without God' has strong appeal.Whilst Buddhism has been a formative influence in the cultures of South and East Asia it is a relatively new arrival in the West and is little understood by Christians. This book has the twofold aim of introducing the diverse Buddhist traditions to Western readers and of offering a Christian engagement with the central truth-claims of Buddhism. This book is one of few attempts by Christians to offer a respectful and informed, but honest and robust critique of this important religion. It forms a helpful contribution to inter-faith understanding and discussions.' This is interfaith dialogue at its best. Netland and Yandell provide a thoughtful understanding of Buddhism, followed by a careful pressing of internal problems within Buddhism, then a constructive summary of real differences between Christianity and Buddhism. They also succeed in establishing the plausibility of Christianity in the light of various possible Buddhist critiques. No reader, Christian or Buddhist, will be left unchallenged by this lucid exposition, critique, and proclamation.'
In Re: Mission: A Vision of Hope for a Post-Eschatological Church Andrew Perriman provides an innovative and radical book where postmodern mission and New Testament studies collide. Andrew Perriman examines the mission of the earliest church in its historical context and argues that our context is very different and so our mission cannot simply be a matter of doing exactly what the earliest church did. The key question at the heart of the book is, "How do we shape a biblical theology of mission for a post-biblical church?" Controversially Perriman maintains that the eschatological crisis faced by the early church - the coming judgment on the enemies that opposed God's people - has now passed with the collapse of the Roman Empire!Eschatology, says Perriman, is about temporary transitions from oppression to deliverance in the history of the people of God. However, creational disorder is with us all the time. The postmodern church does not face an eschatological crisis but a creational crisis. A missiology that is oriented towards a new creation is far more relevant to us now than a missiology oriented, as it was in most of the N¿ew Testament, towards rescue from opposition and persecution. Andrew Perriman lives in Holland and works with Christian Associates seeking to develop open, creative communities of faith for the emerging culture in Europe.

A church united in truth and mission could be much more fruitful in serving th Lord. Jesus prayed that all his disciples would be one... and yet we are a long way from that. It appears that divisions within the evangelical world are hardening, with many of us going to those conferences, listening to those speakers and reading those books and newspapers which will simply confirm us within our tribal divisions - and we are increasingly neglecting our God-given responsibility to seek for unity. David Coffey has worked across the tribes for many years, and in this book he calls on all evangelicals to be prepared to pull down their barriers and to reach out to each other, for the sake of reaching this needy nation with the gospel.
