Jesus Unleashed

AmazonWritten by John Macarthur
Published: July 2021
Readers: Henry O. Arnold 

 

Walk through the gospel records of the “bold confrontations” of Jesus and discover how to use your newfound knowledge of the person of Jesus to defend the biblical truth of the Christian faith.

Do you have any idea who Jesus really is?

“What you think of Jesus Christ will thoroughly color how you think about everything else,” writes John MacArthur. This is a critical truth in the life of every believer. Your view of Jesus affects the way you view God, the world, and every one of your decisions.

These days, Jesus is often portrayed as a pacifist, a philanthropist, or a docile teacher. He strikes a plastic—and sometimes pathetic—pose in the minds of many. Some prefer the meek and mild Jesus who heals the sick, calms fears, and speaks of peace and goodwill. These things do represent a portion of the Messiah. But tragically, too many have never been exposed to the rest of him. They have never seen a full 360-degree view of the Savior. His boldness in the face of confrontation and why that matters. Until now.

Abridged from his classic bestseller, The Jesus You Can’t IgnoreJesus Unleashed takes a revealing walk through the gospel records. Like an investigative journalist on a mission, author and teacher John MacArthur shows you a remarkable and compelling picture of Jesus unleashed.

The Scandal Forgiveness

Amazon
Written by: Philip Yancy
Published: June 2021
Reader: Henry O. Arnold

Containing new material written just for this book and adaptations from his classic, What’s So Amazing About Grace, best-selling author Philip Yancey presents a one of a kind look at forgiveness: what it is; why it is so difficult; why we have to choose this unnatural, scandalous act; and why we must approach God again and again, yielding to him the residue of what we thought we had committed to him long ago. We do so because the Gospel makes clear the connection: God forgives our debts as we forgive our debtors. The reverse is also true: Only by living in the stream of God’s forgiveness will we find the strength to respond with forgiveness toward others.

We may speak of forgiveness often, even believing that we are a forgiving person, but do we understand the true depth of it and what it demands of us? Does our life proclaim it as powerfully as our words? We should have no illusions about forgiveness, for it may be the most demanding act in human relationships, the hardest thing we ever do. But for anyone who lives and loves imperfectly – in other words, for all of us – forgiveness offers an alternative to an endless cycle of resentment and revenge. It alone can set us free. Christians can and must reveal the forgiveness the world is searching for. A cease fire between human being starts with forgiveness – the beginning and ending of grace.

AmazonWritten by Charles F. Stanley

Reader: Henry O. Arnold

When things are going your way, trusting the Lord is easy. But when painful trials, unmet needs, or lost dreams assail, do you wonder if God can still be trusted? What do you do when facing a challenge that seems insurmountable? Do you believe God can be trusted? In Can You Still Trust God?, Dr. Charles Stanley reveals three essential beliefs for trusting God:

  • God is perfect in his love.
  • God is infinite in wisdom.
  • God is absolutely sovereign.

Can You Still Trust God? is a message of:

  • hope for anyone struggling to reconcile the suffering and turmoil in the world with a loving God.
  • truth for pastors, ministers, and Bible study leaders searching for a resource to teach their communities about God’s promises and how to deepen trust in him.
Even when you cannot understand why God would allow certain situations to occur, these core beliefs form the basis for trusting him. Your ability to receive the blessings God has for you is determined by the degree to which these wise truths are embedded in your soul.
