DIE GOEIE BOEK Deron Spoo

THE GOOD BOOK Deron Spoo

Is daar ‘n boek wat vir ons kan sê wat om oor God te glo? Die voor die hand liggende antwoord is die Bybel. Maar waar begin ons die Bybel lees om werklik te verstaan? In Die Goeie Boek bespreek Deron Spoo sleutel-Bybelhoofstukke wat hy as kardinaal beskou vir ons verstaan van die Bybel en van God. Elke hoofstuk onthul een lewensveranderende waarheid van God en sluit af met ‘n “om te oordink”-gedeelte wat jou sal help om daardie waarheid prakties in jou lewe toe te pas. Die Bybelteks van die hoofstuk wat bespreek word, word ook telkens ingesluit (NLV-teks). Die Goeie Boek sal lesers help om die lewensveranderende waarhede in die Bybel te verstaan en te leef.

Is there a book that can tell us everything we need to know about God? Of course there is: the Bible. But how can we even begin to truly understand what the Bible is trying to tell us? In The Good Book, Deron Spoo explores the context and content of 40 key Bible chapters to help readers better understand what the Bible is telling them. The 40 key Bible chapters have been included and are taken from the Christian Standard Bible® (CSB). Each chapter reveals one life-changing truth about God and concludes with a “For Reflection” section that will help readers apply each truth to their everyday lives. The Good Book will help people understand and live by the transformative truths of the Bible.

GENADE IN GEBROKENHEID Ann Voskamp Dit is moontlik om ’n oorvloedige lewe te leef te midde van jou gebrokenheid. So sê New York Times-topverkoper-outeur Ann Voskamp. In haar boek Genade in gebrokenheid vra sy vrae wat ons nie kan bekostig om te ignoreer nie: • Hoe hanteer jy jou onuitgesproke gebroken heid? • Wat is die antwoord op die pyn en gebro kenheid in ons almal se harte? • Wat doen jy as jy regtig volkome heling wil ervaar voor dit te laat is? In ’n diep en persoonlike belydenis lei Ann lesers na ’n plek waar ons die gebrokenheid in ons elkeen kan erken en aanvaar. Sy help ons om God se goeie doel in alles raak te sien, om te besef hoe Hy ons lei, nie met ’n ompad verby die pyn nie, maar déúr die pyn. In Genade in gebrokenheid oortuig Ann ons dat daar niks is wat so gebroke is dat dit nie herstel kan word wanneer ons die lewende Christus se teenwoordigheid betree nie.

NO MORE FAKING FINE Esther Fleece Christian Living 224 pages Softcover 140 x 213mm 9 780310 344759

“I witnessed heartache, divorce, abandonment, adultery, deceit, mental illness, domestic violence, and downright emptiness, as a young child. When you experience loss and grief in your early years, you set your life up to never be hurt again. My heart had space and time for God, but I didn’t want to let Him in fully, for the fear that He might leave me too. It’s hard to move forward when you experience suffering. Faking fine seemed like the easier, carefree way to live. Pretending everything was okay felt like strength. It wasn’t until I was ‘doing everything right’ for God and suffering again hit my life, that I began to question God’s love for me. A lament shook my Faith, and my striving to get out of a mess did not bring any answers. It was only when I slowed down to grieve, to lament, to cry and to deal with my past hurts, that I began to experience a wholeness, that comes after the brokenness. Thankfully, God is still in the business of meeting people in their pain. I now see brokenness as a sign of spiritual health and need for God. I don’t run from brokenness anymore; instead I run to God.”

”Everything happens for a reason.” Most people have heard this cliche, or one like it, at least once in their lives. It’s said to them in response to their hurts and disappointments. While many books have been written about the steps readers can take to heal after a particularly challenging or difficult trial within their life, very few books include the first, crucial step: how to cope while one is still in the middle of the trial. No More Faking Fine fills this gap. Instead of using ineffective, and even psychologically dangerous, coping methods that rely upon shutting down or sucking up painful emotions, Fleece gives readers permission to experience the hurt, anxiety and frustration they’ve silenced for so long. Then, she goes one critical step further, and introduces readers to the life-giving prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes: the prayer of lament. And lament, Fleece writes, leads the way to true hope, healing, and intimacy with God. It’s time to put away our coping mechanisms, for good, and learn the life-giving prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. Drawing from deep reserves of biblical study, hard-won insight, and, especially, through the need to lament, Esther Fleece reveals how to use God’s own language to give voice to one’s pain, which ultimately gives way to new life.

THE RESURRECTION AND YOU Josh McDowell & Sean McDowell When Jesus died on the Cross, it seemed that all had been lost. Death had won. But after three days in a rich man’s tomb, Jesus appeared... alive! The news was so shocking that his followers refused to believe it, until they saw him with their own eyes. Then, Jesus made some amazing promises. His Resurrection would change every aspect of their lives and their futures. In this fascinating look at the claims of the Gospel writers, and two thousand years of believing Christians, best-selling author, Josh McDowell, and his son, Sean McDowell, examine the compelling evidence and present the facts about the Resurrection, and what it means for readers today. KEY MARKETING POINTS • Television, online and print Easter campaign targeting Christian media outlets. • Possible interviews with author/s on Christian radio stations. • Social Media campaign on Christian Books SA Facebook page, which has over 30 000 likes, to promote the book with memes, videos, and promotional offers. KEY SELLING POINTS • Compelling evidence that the Resurrection was real. • Best-selling authors’ robust platforms reach across many different generations and ages. • Format and affordable price point make this an excellent giveaway piece for outreach and evangelism.

SEVEN-MILE MIRACLE Steven Furtick Spiritual Growth 192 pages Softcover 132 x 203mm The most important thing to remember about the first “word” Jesus spoke from the Cross, is that he spoke it about us. Keep in mind, he went to the Cross to atone for sins - the sins of everyone who has ever lived, including me and you. Therefore, we put him up on the Cross, just as surely as anyone in his own day did. This means he was interceding with the Father on our behalf, asking God to spare us the judgment we deserve. Jesus seems to have made his first statement almost immediately after being lifted up on the Cross, and it couldn’t have been what anyone was expecting. Starting the evening before, he had been ... • betrayed by one of his own disciples for money • arrested by temple soldiers • interrogated by the high priest Annas • tried with falsified evidence by the Jewish ruling council • denied by his most vocal supporter, Peter • beaten by some temple soldiers • questioned by the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate • questioned by the ruler of Galilee, Herod Antipas • questioned a second time by Pilate • whipped by some Roman soldiers • condemned to death by Pilate at the insistence of locals • mocked by the Roman soldiers and crowned with horns • forced to carry his Cross to the place of execution • stripped • nailed to the Cross • lifted up in the air to hang from his nail-pierced hands and feet until dead If you were Jesus and you were looking down at the Jewish leaders and their supporters whose schemes had put you there, as well as at the soldiers who had actually carried out the criminal deed, what would you want to say? I won’t tell you what I would want to say. It’s unprintable. What Jesus actually said was this: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” I’ve always been gripped by the power of that statement. I know that I wouldn’t be able to find it in my heart to ask God to forgive the enemies who were responsible for my murderous, scandalous death. Yet, the very first thing Jesus did was to issue forgiveness in the face of his betrayers.

In Seven-Mile Miracle, Pastor Steven Furtick shows us how Jesus’s last words offer mile markers for our journey and relationship with God. It’s a lifelong journey, and not always easy, but Jesus is both our guide and our destination. Put your feet on a proven path – the road that Jesus walked. Includes questions for reflection and a forty-day reading guide to Jesus’s death and Resurrection. A Proven Path for Spiritual Growth. From time to time, we all feel stuck in our relationship with God, and frustrated by life’s setbacks. Jesus faced what could have been the ultimate defeat on the Cross, yet he emerged triumphant, because of his relationship with his heavenly Father. He also showed us the way, so that we could do the same. In Seven-Mile Miracle, Steven Furtick explores how Jesus’s last seven statements on the Cross offer a proven spiritual growth path for us. You will experience the Easter message more personally than ever before, as you engage with the words of forgiveness, salvation, relationship, abandonment, distress, triumph, and reunion.

UNCorreCted Proof THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO

MATTHEW  AUTHOR: The early church uniformly attributed this Gospel to Matthew, and no tradition to the contrary ever emerged. This book was known early and accepted quickly. Matthew occupied the unpopular post of tax collector in Amplified Capernaum for the Roman government, and as a result he was no doubt disliked by his Jewish countrymen. He was chosen as one of the twelve apostles, 2272 pages and the last appearance of his name in the Bible is in Acts 1:13. Matthew’s life 9 780310 440307 from that point on is veiled in tradition.



for Jewish people. In this context it contains the most references to Jewish culture and the Old Testament of the Gospels. The author’s main purpose seems to be proving to his Jewish readers that Jesus is their Messiah. Matthew is also the fullest systematic account of Christ’s teachings. These 5 “blocks” of teaching are one of the key differences with the other Gospels: Chapters 5 – 7, The Sermon on the Mount; Chapter 10, The Mission Charge; Chapter 13, The Parables of the Kingdom; Chapter 18, The Church; Chapters 23 – 25, Judgment and the End of the World.

Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram. 4 Ram was the father of Aminadab, Aminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon. 5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse. 6 Jesse was the father of David the king.

1:1 genealogy. Jesus’ genealogy is crucial to His claim to be the Messiah, as it traces the lineage of Joseph, His recognized father, back to Abraham through David. It shows that from a legal standpoint, Jesus is qualified to rule from the throne of David. 1:3 Tamar. The mention of women in a Jewish genealogy is unusual. But in addition to Mary, four women are listed in this catalogue of names: Tamar, who was involved in a scandal with Judah

(Ge 38); Rahab, the Canaanite harlot of Jericho (Jos 2:1 – 21); Ruth, who was not an Israelite, but a Moabite (Ru 1:4); and Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, who committed adultery with David (2 Sa 11:1:1 – 5). At the beginning of his Gospel, Matthew shows how God’s grace forgives the darkest of sins and reaches beyond the nation of Israel to the world. He also points out that God can lift the lowest and place them in royal lineage.

WITHOUT WARNING (#3 J.B. COLLINS) Joel C. Rosenberg Fiction/Suspense 480 pages Softcover 152 x 229mm 9 781496 406293

From the flap: “Last night, enemies of the United States unleashed a cruel and cowardly attack. . . .” After ISIS terrorists attack the U.S. Capitol building during the president’s State of the Union address, the entire world waits to see how the most powerful nation on earth will respond. The Taylor administration, however, is more committed to political correctness than to justice, and it falls to other nations to lead the way in hunting down Abu Khalif, the criminal and religious mastermind who heads the Islamic State. When New York Times journalist J. B. Collins, reeling from a tragedy closer to home, suddenly finds himself in possession of vital information that could help in the search, he is once again thrust into the crosshairs of global politics. This time, however, it’s personal. As he joins the hunt for the world’s most wanted and dangerous man, his quest takes him from Bay Harbor, Maine, to Tel Aviv, to Cairo, to Istanbul, and beyond. Through it all, he has one goal: find Abu Khalif and hold him accountable for his terrible actions. The clock is ticking, and more attacks are coming. Will Collins locate the ISIS emir before it’s too late? He will stop at nothing to do so but, at what cost?

As he prepares to deliver the State of the Union address, the president of the United States is convinced that the Islamic State is on the run, about to be crushed by American forces, once and for all. New York Times Correspondent, J.B.Collins, however, tells the President that he’s dead wrong. With the Middle East on fire, the Israeli Prime Minister dead, and Amman in ruins, Collins fears a catastrophic attack inside the American homeland is imminent. He argues that only an all-out manhunt to capture or kill Abu Kahlif – the leader of ISIS – can stop the attack and save American lives. Will the president listen and take decisive action, before it’s too late?

One of the most entertaining and intriguing authors of international political thrillers in the country ... His novels are un-put-downable.” STEVE FORBES Editor in chief, Forbes magazine

PLAY THE MAN Mark Batterson Men 224 pages Softcover 140 x 216mm Like a scene straight out of Gladiator, Polycarp was dragged into the Roman Colosseum. Discipled by the apostle John himself, the eighty-six-year-old bishop faithfully and selflessly led the church at Smyrna through the persecution prophesied by his spiritual father. “Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer,” writes John in Revelation 2:10. “Be faithful, even to the point of death.” John had died a half century before, but Polycarp could still hear his voice. It echoed in his ears as the Colosseum crowd chanted, “Let loose the lion!” Then, Polycarp heard another voice - a voice above the crowd. No-one saw who said it, but everyone heard a voice from Heaven: “Be strong, Polycarp. Play the man.” Days before, Roman bounty hunters had tracked him down. Instead of fleeing, Polycarp fed them a meal. Perhaps that’s why they granted his last request – an hour of prayer. Two hours later, many of those who heard him pray, repented of their sin. They did not, however, relent of their mission. Like Jesus entering Jerusalem, Polycarp was led into the city of Smyrna on a donkey. The Roman proconsul implored Polycarp to recant. “Swear by the genius of Caesar!” Polycarp held his tongue and held his ground. The proconsul prodded, “Swear, and I will release thee; revile the Christ!” “Eighty and six years have I served Him,” said Polycarp. “And He has done me no wrong! How then can I blaspheme my King who saved me?” The die was cast. Polycarp was led to the center of the Colosseum, where, three times, the proconsul announced, “Polycarp has confessed himself to be a Christian.” The bloodthirsty crowd chanted for death by beast, but the proconsul opted for fire. As his executioners seized his wrists to nail him to the stake, Polycarp stopped them. “He who gives me strength to endure the fire will enable me to do so without the help of your nails.” As the pyre was lit on fire, Polycarp prayed one last prayer: “I bless you because you have thought me worthy of this day and this hour to be numbered among your martyrs in the cup of your Christ.”2 Soon the flames engulfed him, but strangely they did not consume him. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego before him, Polycarp was fireproof. Instead of the stench of burning flesh, the scent of frankincense wafted through the Colosseum. Using a spear, the executioner stabbed Polycarp through the flames. Polycarp bled out, but not before the twelfth martyr had lived out John’s exhortation: be faithful, even to the point of death. Polycarp died fearlessly and faithfully, and the way he died forever changes the way those eyewitnesses lived. He did what the voice from Heaven had commanded. Polycarp played the man.

BECOMING THE MAN GOD CREATED YOU TO BE Somewhere along the way, our culture lost its definition of manhood, leaving generations of men and men-to-be confused about their roles, responsibilities, relationships, and the reason God made them men. It’s into this “no-man’s-land” that New York Times best-selling author, Mark Batterson, declares his mantra for manhood: play the man. In this inspiring call to something greater, he helps men understand what it means to be a man of God, by unveiling seven virtues of manhood. Mark shares inspiring stories of manhood, including the true story of the hero and martyr, Polycarp, who first heard the voice from Heaven say: “Play the man.” Mark couples these stories with practical ideas on how to disciple the next generation of men. This is more than just a book - it’s a movement of men, who will settle for nothing less than fulfilling their highest calling: to be the man and the father that God has destined them to be. Play the man. Make the man.

I DIDN’T SIGN UP FOR THIS John F. Westfall So many things have the power to dramatically change our lives, including loss, fear, betrayal or failure. When everything goes wrong in life, it’s so easy to give in to the pain, frustration, and anger, that threatens to overwhelm us. Though we may feel like giving up, there is life – abundant, exciting, and fulfilling – after our world gets turned upside down. In fact, as John Westfall tells us, it’s often in the face of fear and loss, that we truly learn to live with courage, Faith and surprising joy. Westfall speaks from experience. He may have pretended everything was fine, but inside he was beaten down, burdened, and aching for freedom from the depression that gripped him after a sudden loss. Through his own story, the stories of others, and wisdom from Scripture, Westfall shares with readers the peace of acceptance, the pleasure of release, and the power of risk.

DIE VISUELE EVANGELIE Tim Challies en Josh Byers Ons leef in ’n tyd waarin mense al hoe meer op visuele voorstellings staatmaak om nuwe en moeilike konsepte te verstaan. Maar die visuele voorstelling van waarheid is nie nuut nie. God het self visuele voorstellings gebruik om sy mense die waarheid te leer. Die tabernakel van die Ou Testament was ’n visuele voorstelling van die mens se verwydering van God en God se afdaling na sy volk toe. Net so is die sakramente van die Nuwe Testament visuele voorstellings van die mens se sonde en God se antwoord. Selfs die kruis was beide realiteit en ’n visuele demonstrasie. Challies en Byers wil die konsepte en beginsels van sistematiese teologie op ’n vars en informatiewe manier oordra. Hulle doen dit met behulp van: • Diagramme en grafiese voorstellings van teologiese uitgangspunte • Praktiese insigte en toepassings • Fokusblokkies met ekstra verduidelikings en aanbevelings vir verdere leeswerk Die visuele evangelie stel die Bybel se diepste waarhede op so ’n manier voor dat dit gesien en verstaan kan word deur ’n generasie wat ingestel is op die visuele.

A HARVEST OF BLESSING Angus Buchan

Dit sal jou deur die hele jaar verryk en bemoedig. Genade in oorvloed sal vir jou ‘n beter begrip gee van wie God is en hoe jy onder alle omstandighede op Hom kan vertrou.

What does it mean to grow in faith? How do you get that first seed of faith planted in your life to germinate and grow into a fruitful, faith-filled life? In A Harvest of Blessing, well-known author and evangelist Angus Buchan helps readers to do just that. Each of the 366 devotions includes a Scripture verse, thoughtful meditation and short prayer.

Q: What books/authors/pastors have most influenced your life? A: There have been many books that have helped shape who I am and helped me to grow spiritually. Some of my favorites include In His Steps (Charles Sheldon), David Livingstone: The Truth Behind the Legend (Rob MacKenzie), Just As I Am (Billy Graham), The Attributes of God (A. W. Tozer) and 558 Days (Yolandé Korkie). I also have a list of classic authors that have profoundly influenced my life through their writings – John Calvin, Martin Luther, Andrew Murray, C. H. Spurgeon, Smith Wigglesworth and Oswald Chambers. Q: Is there a standard theme that runs through each of your books? A: Yes, I like to think that holiness, friendship with Jesus Christ, faith and obedience are all recurring themes that can be found in all my books. Q: What is your life motto? A: There is nothing in this world that is more important to me than knowing Christ intimately (see Philippians 3:10). Q: Can you tell us about a miraculous answer to prayer that stands out to you? A: The absolute desire of my heart was to one day have a Bible printed with my very own devotions running through it. Thanks to Chris Johnsen and CUM Books it happened in 2015 when The Bible with Grassroots Reflections was published. Q: What is the message you are hoping readers of your devotional will take away with them? A: My hope for readers is simply that they may come to know Jesus personally, as the Friend who sticks closer than a brother (see Proverbs 18:24).

Who am I? Does anyone out there understand me? Am I merely the product of blind evolutionary forces or what Richard Dawkins calls a “stroke of dumb luck” in a material world? Or, do I have purpose and meaning, a unique part in a divine plan? Does anyone understand who I am, or who I am meant to be? Do I even understand me? Can I accept the way God has allowed me to be? Do I really accept the identity that God has given me? God does understand you. He has placed significance in you – your “Perfect You” – your unique way of thinking. The blueprint of your identity is a brilliant design that unlocks something you alone can do. As neuroscience shows us, every thought you think matters because it changes your brain! You create your unique reality and shape your brain with your thoughts. In this book you can discover the science behind your Perfect You by learning what it is, filling in a profile called the Unique Qualitative (UQ) Assessment Tool to understand the structure of your thinking, and practice applying it to your life with a series of fun and enlightening exercises that will take you to a whole new level. Understanding how the Perfect You is structured is just the beginning, but once you start the process, you launch out into a lifetime of lasting change! Development and growth is organic and ongoing. Your purpose is to live beyond yourself, but you can’t share your Perfect You, your blueprint for identity, if it’s locked up. You can’t live in your purpose if you don’t identify your blueprint and operate in your Perfect You. God knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb (see Jer. 1:5). You are wired for love, because God is love (1 John 4:8). You are addicted to love because you are made in his image (Gen. 1:27). When he calls you, he calls you by name to a life of love (Matt. 4:18–22). Philosopher Keith Ward puts it this way: The real world is a world of finite spirits, beings of value-saturated experience and creative purpose, existing within one supreme spirit of unrestricted consciousness and value. Human life is not a pointless flicker of awareness in an indifferent and finally decaying machine. It is a developing awareness by finite spirits (but unfortunately not always developing) of the wider consciousness and purpose of the supreme spirit within which they exist, and with which it is their inherent goal to unite in that blissful state of completed desire that is termed love.

A BLUEPRINT FOR IDENTITY There are many personality and intelligence tests out there, designed to label you and put you into a particular box. Dr. Caroline Leaf, however, says that there’s far more to you than a simple personality profile can capture. In fact, you cannot be categorized! In this fascinating book, she takes readers through seven steps, to rediscover and unlock their unique “you quotient” – the brilliantly original way each person thinks, feels, relates, and makes choices – freeing them from comparison, envy, and jealousy, which destroy brain tissue. Readers learn to be aware of what’s going on in their own minds and bodies, to lean in to their own experience, rather than trying to forcefully change it, and to redefine what success means to them. Released from the suffocating box of expectations, they’ll embrace their true identity and develop a clear sense of divine purpose in their lives. Knowing and understanding our identity empowers our choices. Unlocking one’s you quotient is not optional – it is essential.
