Rather than rehashing the familiar arguments against infant baptism, this work seeks to undercut its very foundation. What is the theological system which undergirds infant baptism and where does this system come unraveled? This work answers these questions by explaining the distinction in the nature of the old and new covenants and their often misunderstood relationship with one another. This critical discussion of the continuity and discontinuity of the covenants is thoroughly explored in this book. To understand the biblical connection between the covenants, it is vital to first understand the \u003cem\u003edual\u003c\/em\u003e nature of the Abrahamic Covenant. What is the relationship between Abraham and Moses, Abraham and Christ, and Moses and Christ?

For Thomas, the cosmological argument not only speaks of God’s existence but also of God’s nature. By learning that the unmoved mover is behind all moving objects, we learn something true about the essence of God—principally, that God is immobile. But therein lies the problem for Thomas. The Catholic Church had already condemned Aristotle’s unmoved mover because, according to Aristotle, the unmoved mover is unable to be the moving cause (i.e., Creator) and governor of the universe—or else he would cease to be immobile. By seeking to baptize Aristotle into the Catholic Church, however, Thomas gave his life to seeking to explain how God can be both immobile and the moving cause of the universe. Thomas even looked to the pantheistic philosophy of Pseudo-Dionysius for help. But even with Dionysius’s aid, Thomas failed to reconcile the god of Aristotle with the Trinitarian God of the Bible. If Thomas would have rejected the natural theology of Aristotle by placing the doctrine of the Trinity, which is known only by divine revelation, at the foundation of his knowledge of God, he would have rid himself of the irresolvable tension that permeates his philosophical theology. Thomas could have realized that the Trinity alone allows for God to be the only self-moving being—because the Trinity is the only being not moved by anything outside himself but freely capable of creating and controlling contingent things in motion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yiv5642162940s2\"\u003e________________________________________________________________\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"With his usual breadth of knowledge and insight, Jeffrey has given Thomas and natural theology an even-handed assessment.

With personal stories of triumph and failure, goal-setting (and resetting), many practical tips, and a little blue tape, they hope that his work will be a valuable companion on your own adventure in parenting and instrumental in helping you to truly enjoy the work of raising your children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBanner of Truth Magazine Review (by Jeremy Walker)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOf the making of parenting books for Christians there is no end. It often seems as if the production line runs in cycles, with a slightly different emphasis every few years, sometimes reacting to the last emphasis, sometimes reflecting wider Christian trends, \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esometimes embracing or resisting some wider cultural pressure. For sensitive, concerned, or frazzled parents, that cycle can be exhausting. However, having read much and taught often on this topic, this may become one of my ‘go to’ texts. It is helpful because of its simplicity and straightforwardness. In thirty-one brief chapters, each with some helpful questions at the end, they work through a variety of biblical precepts, principles and patterns, together with other insightful considerations of relevant topics addressed from a biblical perspective. The particular strength of the book is its resounding practicality. Here there are few abstract theories or high-flown flights of theological fancy; here are few absolute rules laid down like the laws of the Medes and Persians, with the implied threat that without them your family will quickly fall apart. What you end up with is the kind of plain primer on parenting that you can put into the hands of Christian parents at any age and stage of life with the confidence that they will find some help and guidance here. Of course, a faithful pastor will still want to encourage and to check that parents are taking these things to heart, but here is a book to do a lot of the talking for you. Not every parent will need to or should follow every particular suggestion, or even agree with them all. The book is firmly situated in America, for a start, which means some cultural nuance. Nevertheless, I would gladly keep a stock of these as a ‘starter for ten’ for any new parents. I only wish it were more readily available outside the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePurposeful and Persistent Parenting\u003c\/em\u003e is a little gem of a book. I get asked to review many good books, but I have not reviewed a book about which I am more enthusiastic than this one. I am enthusiastic about this book because it takes biblical principles of child-rearing and puts the feet of wise application on them. Often, I fear that parents struggling against the tide of our culture react into extremist and foolish applications of perfectly biblical principles. On the other hand, biblical principles of child-rearing do require more than lip service. They require diligent practice in the everyday world. Parenting challenges like whining, proactive parenting, the practical application of the rod, sitting still, mealtimes, and many other issues are discussed in a biblical, reasonable, and practical way. Another thing that commends this book is its tone. I much appreciate the kind and generous way in which John and Cindy have written. It allows parents to apply the insights and practices John and Cindy suggest in a way that fits their own situation. It also recognizes that in matters of practical application there is room for discussion and difference of opinion. I believe this easy-to-read volume will provide a reason for many parents to thank God for the labors of John and Cindy on behalf of their children and grandchildren. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Sam Waldron\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePastor, Grace Reformed Baptist Church, Owensboro, KY\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePresident, Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePurposeful and Persistent Parenting\u003c\/em\u003e hits a home run for getting things in order from the start of parenting.

It is hands-on, nitty-gritty practical, giving many helpful suggestions and creative ideas without being legalistic, since the writers are careful to distinguish between counsel and Scripture command. Indeed, it addresses many practical and important aspects of parenting rarely addressed in books on this subject. I cannot highly recommend this book enough!

Rather, they invite the reader to inspect their own parenting by providing diagnostic questions drawn from reflection on the Scriptures, and the lessons they have drawn out of their own lives and experience.

And though Dr. Daniel occasionally refers to Hebrew and Greek words, he is careful not to flood the reader with technical language, preferring to keep it as accessible as possible to the Christian with limited experience in theological study.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThose who want a short and non-technical summary of basic Christian theology will find this an excellent tool for Sunday school classes, home Bible studies, homeschools and Christian high schools, and personal Bible study.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Basic Christian Doctrines\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is an important, useful handbook every Christian should keep close at hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurt Daniel’s book \u003cem\u003eBasic Christian Doctrines\u003c\/em\u003e is an absolutely necessary primer in biblical teaching for church members. It has fifty chapters moving all the way from God’s existence, His act of creation, and His acts of self-revelation to the final consummation of history in heaven and hell. Each chapter, averaging around four pages each, has ten assertions about the respective doctrines and then simple Bible-centered explanations of each assertion. Curt’s style is enviable for its simplicity and straightforward confidence and clarity. The simplicity only makes it easy to read, not lacking in profundity. It is slim in words, not skimpy on the rich biblical, historical, theological, and polemical context out of which these clear affirmations arise. In places where Bible-believing, Reformed, evangelical Baptists disagree, Curt gives a brief recognition of the difference and, where possible, suggests some kind of synthesis for slightly differing viewpoints. He never allows such engagements, however, to deflect from the profound message that the Bible is a revelation—clear, meant to be understood, designed to give strong convictions about things unknowable apart from revelation, setting forth a true knowledge of man and God and His redemptive purpose, with transforming power, and given that we might know that Jesus is the Christ and eternal life is found in His name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– Tom J.

Usually, other attempts to accomplish a work like this fall flat. Either the subjects are treated with far too much verbiage—thus unnecessarily lengthening the prose, or else easy enough to read but are much too elementary in content. Daniel, however, deftly succeeds with both aims where many other writers do not. With an astounding economy of words, he explains biblical truth with great clarity. These are just some of the things which make this small volume extremely valuable for personal or group study.

He writes in plain language, so plain, in fact, that some people are more likely to have problems with what he says, not because they cannot understand him but because they do understand him. He addresses questions and objections with a pastor’s skill, but his conclusions are not driven by what will please men. Rather, he bends our ears to hear God the Father and His Son speak through His Word by His Spirit and calls us to lay ourselves at the feet of our great and gracious King with sweet submission and adoration.

Most Christians rightly agree the Bible prohibits homosexual acts. But does the Bible prohibit homosexual desires? And does the Bible allow for Christians to use supposedly “good aspects of same-sex attractions” for righteous purposes? This book answers these questions by pinpointing exactly what the lusts of the flesh are. But this book is about more than just homosexual desires. At its core, this work answers if our attractions to evil are inherently sinful or just temptation. After examining several passages from the Bible, Jesus’s life and temptations, and church history, this book teaches that every desire for evil is sin and needs Jesus’s forgiveness. It’s time for Christians to focus on God, His Word, and Christ when discussing sin, rather than focusing on our “orientations,” memories, and choices. Introspection, misremembering, and rhetoric have never taken anyone’s sins away. Jesus alone cleanses us and makes us like Him for all eternity, so we must continually turn away from the lusts of the flesh and trust in Christ for both salvation and sanctification.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/6856\/6131\/files\/NST_100x100.png?v=1661192749\" alt=\"New Studies in Theology\" style=\"margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 5px; float: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"JsGRdQ\"\u003eThe New Studies in Theology (NST) series exists to enflesh sola Scriptura.

I no longer interpret Solomon’s words as the somber musings of a secular sage about the harsh realities of this fallen world. Instead, they have been transformed into a message of hope, a catalyst to trust God, and a goad to live life to the fullest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you read through this work, you will be confronted with the realities of life in a fallen world. Yes, there is suffering, pain, death, and oftentimes an encroaching sense of futility. However, for the believer, the brevity of life is an incentive to live life to the fullest, and the uncertainties of life are opportunities to trust in an omnipotent, loving, and faithful Creator who gives good gifts to His children and will one day make all things new. Contemporary Christianity, especially in the West, is filled with extremes. On one hand, there are voices urging believers to live their best life now, almost in disregard of eternity. On the other hand, there are voices admonishing us to put our heads down, look for nothing in this life, and mournfully long for heaven. Dr. Borgman sweeps away both extremes by simply expounding the book of Ecclesiastes. He shows us that we are to relish every good thing as a gift from God, face every hardship with hope in a sovereign God, and await a new heaven and earth with great expectation. I will never look at the book of Ecclesiastes the same way again. After reading this work, I found a renewed freedom, even compulsion, to enjoy all of God’s temporal gifts, a clarity and confidence to endure the trials of this fallen age, and lastly, a steadfast hope that does not disappoint. I am greatly indebted.

It is a book that shouts at us, “Do not waste your breath! Enjoy it while you have it.”’ He then expounds the book in twenty riveting chapters, easily accessible to the man in the pew. The first chapter deals with the Hebrew word most versions translate ‘vanity’ or ‘meaningless,’ giving the key to all that follows. It is the ‘lack of permanence, rather than meaninglessness … brevity, not vanity, is this book’s message.’ What follows is a beautifully written, well argued, compelling page-turner. The author deals with various difficulties of the text, sometimes giving other interpretations as well as the one he favours. Judging from the footnotes on most pages, and his bibliography, he has read widely and judiciously. The book is well laid out, with a decent size print. While some readers may disagree on certain points, few, if any, will leave this exposition disappointed or unedified. For myself, it has been the most helpful exposition on Ecclesiastes I have ever read. It seems fitting to let Borgman give us the last word: ‘Do not waste this short, fleeting life. Seize every opportunity to obey God by enjoying this life for His glory, living for the Great Shepherd of the sheep, marveling at His gifts, both the temporary and the eternal ones.

Although Solomon is realistic about life in a fallen world that is full of uncertainty, injustice, suffering, pain, and death, he also shows that man’s vaporous life is full of God’s beautiful gifts—like food, youth, work, and marriage—and that we can glorify our Creator by enjoying these gifts with thanksgiving. The good life, then, is one lived \u003cem\u003esoli Deo gloria\u003c\/em\u003e—for the glory of God alone and in the enjoyment of Him alone.

I do not generally see the same interest or hunger among young Christian parents today. It seems that many in the younger generation, even those in solid churches, are opting for popular social models. Crunchy parenting. Helicopter parenting. Free-range parenting. Snowplow parenting. For those who know the above terms, they know that these parenting styles are fraught with problems. They are radically child-centered, generally passive, and driven by faulty assumptions about the role of parents. But now there is “gentle parenting.” What could possibly be wrong with gentle parenting? It sounds good. Gentleness is a fruit of the Spirit. It sounds like an improvement from previous generations. “Not so fast,” says Justin Miller. Justin skillfully defines and then analyzes this parenting model and demonstrates that it falls short, far short of the biblical standards for raising children. He then deftly gives a wonderful, concise summary of biblical parenting. This little book is a clarion call to return to parenting according to God’s Word and to reject this popular yet unbiblical model. It is my prayer that this short, accessible book will be used by God to help young Christian parents return to an approach to parenting that is governed by the sufficient Scriptures, fueled by prayer for divine wisdom, for the glory of God and the good of our children.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—Dr. Brian Borgman, Pastor of Grace Community Church in Minden, NV \u003ca\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eAuthor of \u003ci\u003eDon’t Waste Your Breath  \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe parenting models of modern psychology are, quite simply, bankrupt to the core. What we need in our day is a return to the authority and sufficiency of Scripture in matters of family life, childrearing, and discipline. Above all, our children must understand that they have violated God’s law and that they need the gospel. Biblical parenting, then, is gospel parenting. By focusing on biblical authority, the paradigm of God as the perfect Father, the centrality of family worship, and the necessity of getting to the heart, Miller ably critiques gentle parenting and offers instead the wise, practical, and loving model of God’s Word.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—Dr. Joel R.

There, the tour guide experts try to convince us that parental authority, discipline, punishment and consequences are cruel and harmful, while a child’s autonomy, feelings, preferences, and freedom are paramount priorities.

Thus, their parenting approach is flawed and harmful.

Who could possibly be against gentleness in parenting? Isn’t gentleness a biblical requirement for parents and a manifestation of the filling of the Holy Spirit? Justin Miller has done us all a favor to expose the problems of the rising gentle parenting movement, which has redefined parenting, and actually even human nature, while excluding other indispensable matters that are direct commands of Scripture. It is a Trojan horse in the church. Parents are often vulnerable to false teaching in their quest to find that new silver bullet, that fresh approach that will fix everything. They think a new technique will take them to the next level. So goes the Christian parenting book market—one new wave after another of creative angles using fresh unbiblical terminology that will make their children happy and well adjusted. Unfortunately, the gentle parenting movement does the opposite. It is actually the offspring of Rousseau, Dr. Spock, Sigmund Freud, Carl Rogers and the modern rejection of the sufficiency of Scripture—leading to false worldly ideas about mercy and compassion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have dozens of modern child-rearing books.

It was written with a deep love for God and pastoral care for God’s people. It has enough zing to rattle the rust off, but enough comforting ointment to keep us encouraged along the way. This historical particular Baptist treasure remains as helpful today as it was when it was first published in 1663.

His writings are marked by deep experiential piety, rich biblical insight, and a clear call to holiness and treasuring the gospel. Though less well-known than some of his Baptist contemporaries, Purnell’s works continue to edify readers hungry for Christ-centered, Scripture-saturated devotional theology.

Never have we encountered the seeping permeation of the Gospel stronger and deeper than we do in our precious little Church. We hear it in song, in Scripture, in recitation, at every single meeting and always, without fail, in his preaching. That may seem like a small thing or a thing that is assumed or a thing that is expected, but we have learned that it is inexplicably rare. We have indeed come to expect it and we try not to ever take it completely for granted. Cuatro is obsessed with three things other than his wonderful wife… Christmas, the Gospel and the local Church.

The miracle of all miracles is that over two thousand years ago in the little town of Bethlehem, God the Son took on flesh, lived among us, died for His beloved sinful people, and rose from the dead having accomplished their complete redemption. Nelson’s book focuses us on the end, or goal, of Christ’s incarnation, which is His death. While some sentimentalize Christmas, making it exclusively about the baby in a manger, Jesus was born “the lamb of God.” He was born to die for His people, to claim a bride for Himself and to bring us back to God.

In this nuanced treatment, which also values psalm-singing, you will find the seasoned reflections of a gifted pastor, theologian, and musician on a much-needed topic in our day.

Far too frequently, advocates for both “contemporary music” and “traditional music,” while giving verbal testimony to their concern for God’s glory, defend their positions with man-centered reasoning. Although proponents of neither position would admit it, what pleases people often takes precedence over any consideration of what pleases the Lord. Scott Aniol’s treatment of this hot topic is refreshingly and delightfully different. Throughout, his analysis is God-focused, biblically based, thought provoking, and practical. He argues convincingly that music is not neutral and that there are indeed music styles that have infiltrated the church that are absolutely inappropriate for acceptable service unto the Lord.

Some have referred to him as the Baptist \"Thomas Watson\" for his warm-hearted devotion and way with words. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Robert Purnell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43981993607283,"sku":"9781952599729","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/6856\/6131\/files\/1_752e335f-5443-4607-8ff4-de7c8a290cc4.png?v=1767031007"},{"product_id":"i-believe-in-the-holy-spirit","title":"I Believe in the Holy Spirit","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eNow Shipping!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-text-len=\"40\" class=\"zw-portion zw-text-portion char_sty4\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRevised\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 8, 21);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eI Believe in the Holy Spirit: \u003cbr\u003eThe Person and Work of the Holy Spirit \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 8, 21);\"\u003e5.5\"x8.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 8, 21);\"\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 8, 21);\"\u003eNatural paper\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 8, 21);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 8, 21);\"\u003e136 Pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WauXKpp61PU\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 238);\"\u003eClick Here to Watch this Sermon on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit by Conrad Mbewe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/churchandfamilylife.com\/podcasts\/church-and-family-life-podcast\/64f736c73bfa63c06b708043\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 238);\"\u003eClick Here to Listen to the Life Story of Conrad Mbewe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eOb1MsMQyeM?si=jr6gKGuZrCXEcyOh\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 238);\"\u003eClick Here to Watch this Short Video on Conrad's Pastoral Heart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 238);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 238);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/h-cHo2s9se4?si=KIJ4RMqj4InjTN7O\u0026amp;t=5\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eClick Here to listen to Conrad's Interview on The Reformed Baptist Network discussing \u003cem style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eI \u003cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eBelieve\u003c\/span\u003e in the Holy Spirit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_1368113080size\"\u003e\"In, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_1368113080size\"\u003eI Believe in the Holy Spirit: the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_1368113080size\"\u003e, Mbewe has given to us a theology of the Holy Spirit in small compass.

This is largely due to the overwhelming number of oddities, errors, and abuses being propagated in His name. So often, believers in the West are told, ‘The Spirit is doing amazing things [i.e. charismata] in Africa, whereas we stiff-arm His work here.’ Yet how refreshing and helpful is it, then, to have Conrad Mbewe, perhaps the most salient pastoral voice in Africa, teaching the church about the doctrine of the Holy Spirit! Conrad not only provides us with a biblical and practical book on the Spirit, he also handles the challenging truths and thorny debates with clarity, wisdom, and grace.

As their father sold off treasured family belongings to buy liquor, his sister radiated joy—singing “Amazing Grace” while she prepared a meal that was next to nothing. But Conrad still thought his “good deeds” were enough. This changed when a friend declared to him that salvation is solely God’s work. Driven to his knees, Conrad repented and gave his life to Christ. After a short stint as a mining engineer, he accepted a call at age 25 to pastor Kabwata Baptist Church, located in the Zambian capital of Lusaka. Serving there since 1987, Conrad has helped to start roughly 40 other Reformed churches in countries across Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s5\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Bio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 16px; float: left;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/6856\/6131\/files\/1_26276546-2653-4f52-84d5-642d80ab6587_160x160.png?v=1764955726\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Conrad Mbewe\u003c\/strong\u003e has served as pastor of Kabwata Baptist Church since 1987 in Lusaka, Zambia, Africa.

It is a serious, Scripture-saturated discipleship resource for those willing to walk patiently, courageously, and faithfully with others toward real freedom. Mike Hefner understands what many churches have forgotten: pornography is not merely a behavioral problem. It is a spiritual battle of the heart. This is not a book for spectators. It is for men and women willing to come alongside brothers and sisters in the fight for holiness—those who believe that freedom is possible, that Scripture is sufficient, and that Christ truly breaks the chains of sin.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— Dr. Chris Harper\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eChief Storyteller \u0026amp; CEO, BetterMan \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFew issues touch the soul so deeply as that of sexual purity.

Mike Hefner has put an extremely helpful tool in the hands of those trying to guide others to “win the war.” Mike will help you be scriptural, spiritual, and practical as you walk alongside others in grace and truth.
