Love or Die
     Christ's Wake-up Call to the Church
      By: Alexander Strauch
      Click Here to Purchase Online

             Pastor Strauch speaks of love in the church as that which can naturally digresses if believers allow their love for the Savior to grow cold. He admits strong and doctrinally sound churches are essential to uphold the gospel of Christ, but if they lack love in living and presenting the gospel their heavenly impact is minimal. Strauch says, “The one quality…that should beautify every believer and every church, regardless of giftedness or personality, is love.” If a church loves biblically, then it will not die; it will purposely abstain from the unwanted label of the Ephesian church – “you have left your first love.”

Are you wanting to live in a way that pleases God? Is your life the example to others that brings honor and glory to God?

Respectable
     Confronting the Sins We Tolerate
      By: Jerry Bridges
      Click Here to Purchase Online

Purpose: During his life he has realized that Evangelicals can be so focused on the sins of society that we lose sight of dealing with subtle sins in our own life. We can look at them as “failures” or “falling short” or “It’s just a bad habit I picked up.”
            #1 – Expose sins we may not necessarily give attention to: Unthankfulness, anxiety, selfishness, irritability, judgmentalism, worldliness and frustration “Closely akin to anxiety or worry is the sin of frustration. Whereas anxiety involves fear, frustration usually involves being upset or even angry at whatever or whoever is blocking our plans.”
            #2 – Offer hope and advise for those who struggle with certain sins.

Stop Dating the Church
     Fall in Love With the Family of God
      By: Joshua Harris
      Click Here to Purchase Online

Instead of asking what they can give or how they can serve, too many churchgoers are only interested in what they can get. The church deserves far more than the halfhearted commitment or apathetic neglect it so often receives. In fact, as Harris astutely observes, the Christian life can never be lived to its fullest apart from a genuine passion for the church. It’s time for believers to take the church seriously, which is why the message of this book is so essential. —John MacArthur, Pastor-Teacher, Grace Community Church.

Valley of Vision
     A Collection of Puritan Prayers
      By: Arthur Bennett Editor

I first was introduced to The Valley of Vision nearly two decades ago, and it quickly became a personal favorite. It is a hymnbook of praise [Puritan meditations and prayers] to God, expressed in language more majestic than my feeble tongue is capable of producing. It has enriched my personal walk with God and helped impel my own prayer life to new levels. —John MacArthur, Pastor-Teacher, Grace Community Church.

Worldliness
     Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World
      By: C.J. Mahaney
      Click Here to Purchase Online

            This book is excellent in helping the Christian properly examine their heart. The writers do this by using thought provoking questions that may be we haven’t thought about before. These questions assist us in seeing our hearts from all angles. The men also do a good job of helping Christians understand that they can enjoy the things of this world without being controlled by them. They also make a valid point in displaying the need to set standards and convictions that we should always live by. Having standards is not being legalistic; rather it is living with the fear of God before our eyes.
