Share Jesus Without Fear

In recent years, the Share Jesus without Fear book and its growing family of ancillary products have sparked a faith-sharing movement that continues to gain momentum. It began with the jaw-dropping story of William Fay, once a money-driven businessman with Mafia ties who ran a house of prostitution until it was raided by police. Facing the threat of jail time, Fay turned to Jesus Christ for redemption and ever since has been turning others to Him as well. Now featuring a fresh new cover design, Share Jesus without Fear relays Fay's passionate, effective instructions on how to share the love of Christ with anyone--without feeling intimidated on either side of the conversation. Bold and joyful, the outreach movement continues without fear.

Come Lord Jesus

John Piper, bestselling author, explores end-times theology and Scripture&#39;s command to love the second coming of Christ in Come, Lord Jesus: Meditations on the Second Coming of Christ.
Many are wondering about the second coming of Christ: what it will be like, when it will happen, and what signs will come first. In Come, Lord Jesus, John Piper addresses these issues while emphasizing that those who love the second coming of Christ will gain a crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:6-8)
Piper explores key biblical texts around the second coming, while encouraging readers toward a Spirit-awakened affection for Christ&#39;s return.

With a special focus on the teachings of Jesus, Paul, and Peter, Come, Lord Jesus reveals not only the glory of the revealed Savior, but also the glorification of the resurrected saints.

Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

In Tell Me the Stories of Jesus, pastor and theologian R. Albert Mohler Jr. exposes the unique power of Jesus&#39; parables for contemporary readers, revealing how they announce the kingdom, communicate both judgment and grace, and call every human heart toward transformation in light of God&#39;s love.
&quot;He who has ears, let him hear&hellip;&quot; The Prodigal Son. The Good Samaritan. The parable of the mustard seed. The stories Jesus told throughout his earthly ministry are filled with such memorable images and characters that they&#39;re part of our culture&#39;s popular imagination. But what if their familiarity has taken away from their powerful message, causing today&#39;s readers to miss their ability to shock and transform?
Jesus perfected the art of telling parables&mdash;short stories with a surprising twist and an explosive message that confronted his listeners with surprising (and often uncomfortable) truths about the human heart and the kingdom of heaven. But two thousand years later, modern readers may not get the cultural and historical context that made these stories so compelling for Jesus&#39; original audience. Mohler brings Jesus&#39; stories to life, uncovering the context and allowing readers to hear these stories in all their shocking, paradigm-shifting power.
Readers will:
- Feel a deeper connection with Jesus by stepping into the shoes of his first-century followers and hearing with fresh ears the stories he shared with his closest followers 
- Gain a deeper understanding of the gospel through Jesus&#39; own words, and 
- See the parables in new light, experiencing&mdash;perhaps for the first time&mdash;their ability to draw people into Jesus&#39; kingdom.
Every parable Jesus told features judgment and grace. They hold up a mirror that exposes the human heart, and invites everyone to welcom the kingdom and reign of Christ. Will you have ears to hear this crucial message?

Growing In Christ

Christ followers grow spiritually by learning and living out the essentials of their faith, which are often taken for granted or overlooked in daily life. J. I. Packer, renowned theologian, believed that Christianity isn&#39;t automatic, but must be learned by new believers and mature Christians alike.
In Growing in Christ, Packer gives readers an easy-to-follow guide for studying theological topics, including the Apostle&#39;s Creed, the Lord&#39;s Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and baptism. Each chapter helps new and lifelong believers explore what Packer refers to as the intellectual ABCs of the gospel, so they can grow in faith.
