Destination Holiness invites you on a journey. Each week provides a theme that is developed each day, along with scriptures and stories that encourage the reader to consider their own lifes journey. There are Challenges and Love Notes from the author, and all along the way a sense that it was written as a personal letter just for you. Indeed it was, as the author and finisher of our faith journey toward holiness is Jesus Christ and this book is truly His inspiration.
“Be holy as I am holy,” says the Lord. It’s the most extravagant—and audacious—invitation ever sent: Or in the words of Jesus: “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” But can that really happen? Is holiness an achievable goal for sinful human beings? That’s the ultimate focus of this thoughtful, thorough, and engaging study of what it means to be holy. Drawing on the Bible and Christian thinkers through the ages, Simon Ponsonby affirms that because of God’s gracious love and desire for communion with us, he has done what is possible for us not only to pursue holiness, but to achieve it. While we can never count on attaining moral perfection in this life, we need not settle for less than increasing victory over sin. And as more and more Christians choose to partner with God in the ongoing process of sanctification, we set the stage for revival.
Derek Tidball surveys the Scriptures for a comprehensive biblical understanding of the elusive mandate from God to "be holy as I am holy." The triune God of glory, he contends, sets us on paths that lead us through encounters with God, ourselves, our enemies and our companions to our ultimate destination, where we discover that we have been reshaped by God into his own image.
The Irredente Chronicles, in multiple volumes, derive from disparate, far-future historical sources and tell the interconnected histories of people and sentient machines at an important crossroads: where technology prohibitions clash with the universal imperative to create and propagate. Book I, Out From Edom, follows the entwined fates of a reactionary priest and an urchin boy who flee on separate trajectories from a backwater world attacked by a mysterious alien power. In their separate voyages across the technology-suppressing Irredente hegemony, each encounters strange beings crouching in the shadow of cruelest repression. What the boy and the fallen cleric separately discover, in the hegemony and beyond, will bring the dark Irredente regime face to face with all that it sought to forbid: genovariant humanity and sentient machines.

Understanding Calvinism in our hearts as well as in our heads. Understanding Calvinism in our hearts as well as in our heads. Calvinism has an image problem. For far too long it has been synonymous with being argumentative, arrogant, and unloving. Somehow the doctrines of grace often haven't made those who believe them actually gracious. Self-confessed recovering, cranky Calvinist, Jeff Medders wonders whether the love of God has been replaced with the love of Calvinism. It's one thing having the "five points" all worked out in your head, but have they really penetrated your heart? His warm-hearted, challenging (and surprisingly witty) book reveals how a true understanding of "the five points" fuels a love of Christ and his people that builds others up, rather than tearing them down. Medders urges readers to be humble and gracious as well as zealous for the truth, to the praise and glory of Christ and his church.
“ALL OF HEAVEN HOLDS ITS BREATH WAITING ON YOUR DECISION TO LIVE OUTRAGEOUSLY IN FAITH. TO BE UNCOMPROMISING TO WHATEVER GOD CALLS YOU TO DO...” The word CRAZY refers to passionate, zealous and devoted individuals. They inspire followers, challenge systems of thinking and bring a revolution. Jesus was in every sense of the word, CRAZY. He set a new standard of living and became a revolutionary; changing the world forever. Too many believers today are spiritually apathetic to things of God. They have no power, influence or fruitfulness of any significant amount. In a time of superficial faith the time has come for a CRAZY Revolution. To make a stand in the faith no matter the cost. To turn over tables in the face of hypocrisy. And to live the Christian faith radically. This is the Jesus way. What does it look like to be a committed Christian? How are we to live in holiness in a dark and fallen world? And how are we to stay true to Jesus’ call in taking up our cross and following Him? The answers will surprise you. This book will cover the essential qualities of what it means to be a faithful follower of Christ. It will explore the key elements of what are to be our priorities and how to finish our race strong. A revolution is rising in on the horizon of a strong and faithful army, living outrageously in faith. Much is at stake and all of heaven is awaiting your decision. Because at the end of the day, as you will soon find, you’ll be crazy not to be CRAZY...
Religion and its Origins in Human Psychology: A View through History by Michael Kay Pdf
In an era of scientific dominance, why does religion still maintain an unshakeable grip over so many lives, dramatically impacting world events? Why did humanity first develop religious constructs and institutions? How has our relationship with the divine evolved over civilisation’s history? This book chronicles religion’s enduring role across millennia - its profound shaping of both individuals and societies. Reviewing psychological theories, it explores the evolution of our inherent need to interact with gods and the supernatural. Religion was our original “science” - humanity’s first response to the natural world and our place within it. Since then, two major transitions have revolutionised our religious approach. First, the emergence of teachers like Zoroaster, Jesus and Mohammed introduced personal and social accountability. Today, science and nationalism inherit many attributes once exclusive to faiths. Throughout history, religion also empowered rulers who claimed special divine sanction to exert authority and wage war. Despite an uneasy coexistence with science, religion perseveres because it continues answering profound human requirements at personal and collective levels. This is the innate legacy that ensures religion’s hold over life and world affairs is unlikely to ever diminish.
Constructing Ethnic Identities by Rachel Sharaby Pdf
The book shows how minority groups recreate their traditions and employ them as a means to preserve ethnic boundaries, to redefine identity, and to move towards mainstream culture. The result is a variation of ritual syncretism, demonstrating the immigrants’ multiple social locations.

Come alongside Micah to discover what it truly means to live out the way of a Trailblazer and to live a life that matters.
