Don’t Waste Your Life
The American Dream beckons people to spend their lives on trivial diversions, slipping through life caught up with seeking success, comfort, and pleasure above all else. But God designed people for far more than this.
In this best-selling book, Don’t Waste Your Life, John Piper makes a passionate plea to the next generation to avoid the dangers of a wasted life, calling us to take risks and make sacrifices that matter for eternity—with a single, soul-satisfying passion for the glory of God that seeks to make much of him in every sphere of our lives.

Finally Alive: What Happens When we are Born Again (John Piper)
$11.50When Jesus said to Nicodemus, ‘You must be born again’, the devout and learned religious leader was unsure what that meant. Not much has changed. Today ‘born again Christians’ fill churches that are seen as ineffective at best and hardly recognizably Christian in any way. The term ‘born again’ has been devalued both in society and in the church. Those claiming to be ‘born again’ live lives that are indistinguishable from those who don’t; they sin the same, embrace injustice the same, covet the same, do almost everything the same.
Being ‘born again’ is now defined by what people say that they believe. The New Testament however defines Christians very differently. It is of enormous consequence that we know what being born again really means, and that Christians know how to communicate this to others.

Feed My Sheep: A Passionate Plea for Preaching
$11.99“If you can read only one book this year on preaching, make it this one: Feed My Sheep” — Don Whitney
Biblical preaching is rare today, replaced by sharing, suggesting and storytelling. But the authority of opening and explaining the Word of God is lost when men reduce preaching to that. Too often, men called to feed Christ’s sheep with the Word of God do little more than pet them. This book is a plea to “preach the Word”! But it’s not just a book for pastors; it’s every bit as useful to guide church members to know what to look for in a pastor and in holding their preachers to a lofty Biblical standard.

Don’t Call it a Comeback: The Old Faith for a New Day (Kevin DeYoung)
$13.75Recent cultural interest in evangelicalism has led to considerable confusion about what the term actually means. Many young Christians are tempted to discard the label altogether. But evangelicalism is not merely a political movement in decline or a sociological phenomenon on the rise, as it has sometimes been portrayed. It is, in fact, a helpful theological profile that manifests itself in beliefs, ethics, and church life.
DeYoung and several other key evangelical Christian leaders present Don’t Call It a Comeback: The Same Evangelical Faith for a New Day to assert the stability, relevance, and necessity of Christian orthodoxy today. This book introduces young, new, and under-discipled Christians to the most essential and basic issues of faith in general and of evangelicalism in particular.
