Belong ( Loving Your Church by Reflecting Christ to One Another ).
Author Barnabas Piper states in the first chapter of his book:
“We are looking for something personal, something deeply meaningful, something we can identify with. And this book is an invitation to find that in the church, because God wills it. Part of God’s perfect strategy is to offer wounded, weary, worn-out, needy sinners like you and me a place to belong…a place to encounter deep, transforming, healing and restorer of Jesus Christ.”
This book explores how you can help create a church where everyone calls home: a place where believers build authentic, honest, and meaningful Christian relationships and enjoy deep fellowship as a community of believers.
You may be a new believer and wonder what it means to belong to a church; you may be reluctant to commit to your church because of past experiences; perhaps you have recently moved and want to find a church where you feel at home; or perhaps you love your church and desire to engage more deeply and serve it more completely. Either way, this book will help you understand that church membership is a good gift from God, the culmination of our identity as brothers and sisters in Christ, and that it deserves your time, your love and your commitment.
Discussion questions are provided at the end of each chapter, along with action steps, making this book ideal for reading in a small group or even with the whole church. Bundles and free downloadable worksheets are available.
Perfect if you’re a pastor looking to encourage your church members to cherish their family and help make it a place where everyone belongs.
This is one of the first books in the new Love Your Church series, written by a group of Acts 29 Bible teachers. It is designed to inspire every church member to love their church in a practical way by presenting a biblical view of what it means to be a local community of the family of God. The series will explore what it means to belong, to welcome, to come together, to care for, to serve and honor one another, to witness and to send people to spread the gospel.

MANGA MAJESTY

The forces of evil are more powerful than ever…
A dragon attacks the holy people…
Who will resist? Who will escape?Can the chosen one really win the fight?
After an eight-year wait, here is the sixth and final volume of the Manga Comics Bible Collection!
The scriptwriters of Manga • Majesté have chosen to limit the interpretations of the text to a strict minimum and to tell the vision as much as possible as the apostle John received it. What we lose in readability we gain in fidelity to the biblical text.
Also note that Manga • Majesty is shorter than the other volumes in the collection. Recounting only the Apocalypse, volume 6 is 128 pages instead of 288 pages for the other 5 volumes.

12 Things God Can’t Do .
3.200 CFAWhat is the secret to truly trusting God so that we can be quiet at night? How can we have the same faith and the same confidence as David who said: “I go to bed and immediately I go to sleep in peace, for it is you alone, Lord, who give me safety in my dwelling.” (Ps 4.9)?
The answer lies in focusing on the greatness of God. When we consider the greatness of God, we generally tend to think about what God can do. However, this book explores 12 things that God cannot do. They all express aspects of his nature and character that we can embrace with relief, celebrate with joy, and worship with awe. You will marvel at both the otherness of God and how he has become one of us in the person of Jesus.
Read this book to grow in faith, live with confidence, and rest quietly at night, trusting in the God who never sleeps.
