Guidance & the Will of God
“How do I know God’s plan for my life?” What believer hasn’t asked that at some time or another? There are so many decisions to be made, and we want to have an assurance that we are on the path He intends for us. Of course, many of our problems would be solved if we kept in mind that most of doing the will of God is simply living in faith and habitual obedience to the Word of God. As Jesus said, ‘This is the will of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent”, and the Apostle Paul wrote, “This is the will of God, your sanctification.” Turning to Christ and walking with Christ in holiness. But still, we have individual decisions that require us to carefully weigh biblical principles and determine what is the wise path. These books are proven guides that have helped many make those sorts of decisions.

The Christian and the Magistrate (Pierre Viret)
$9.95What is the Biblical definition of a civil magistrate? Should Christians be subject to them? Should civil governments be subject to God? Is physical resistance to authority ever justifiable? Under what circumstances? And what is a Christian’s role with respect to the civil sphere?
16th century Swiss Reformer Pierre Viret once expressed his feelings of political turmoil: “By nature I have always loved peace, and was always horrified at all dissensions and troubles.” Despite the man’s peace-loving nature, however, God chose to place Viret in some of the most politically tumultuous situations imaginable throughout his life. In these times Viret was compelled to search the Scriptures in an effort to instruct his congregations—as well as countless others asking his advice—on the Biblical definition and response to civil government, war, resistance against authorities, tyrants, and many other political matters. The writings contained in The Christian and the Magistrate are a collection of some of the applications Viret offered of the Biblical truths pertaining to magistrates and the Christian’s duty to them.

The Fire of God’s Presence: Drawing Near to a Holy God (A.W. Tozer and James L. Snyder)
$12.95What Would It Be Like to Encounter God Face-to-Face?
Have you ever truly experienced God’s presence? If not, what do you think is getting in the way?
When Moses met God at the burning bush, it changed his life and his perception of who God is. In that burning-bush moment, he began to understand and appreciate the sacredness of worship. Proper worship has to fit the one we are worshiping, so if we are worshiping God, we must do it on His terms. This means having a spirit of reverence and holiness–like Moses taking off his shoes and kneeling before Him.
The bush’s fire did not frighten Moses, but rather it poured the essence of sacredness into his life. It gave him an experience of God’s presence he had never had before. Let this book teach you how, like Moses, to encounter God afresh.

Humbled: Welcoming the Uncomfortable Work of God (David Mathis)
$7.50How do we humble ourselves? Or, would you prefer to get humbled?
Humility, according to the Bible, is not something we can just up and do. Both the negative and positive examples of Scripture—from Pharaoh to Rehoboam, from Josiah to Ahab, from Hezekiah to Manasseh, and even to Christ himself—teach us that humility first comes from the hand of God. He initiates the humbling of his creatures. And once he has, the question confronts us: Will you receive it? Will you humble yourself in response to His humbling hand, or will you kick against Him?
This concise, accessible study of Scripture’s humble-yourself commands uncovers two surprising lessons about the pursuit of humility in the Christian—both what we cannot do and also what steps we can take.

Just Do Something: A Liberating Approach to Finding God’s Will (Kevin DeYoung)
$9.75Settle down – make a choice – and do the hard work of seeing that choice through. This is Kevin DeYoung’s counsel for Christians – for so often, he writes, God’s people tinker around with churches, jobs, relationships, worrying that they haven’t yet found God’s “perfect will” for their lives. Or, even worse, they get paralyzed and do nothing, stuck in a frustrated state of indecision, while they wait, wait, wait…for some sort of sign of clear, unmistakable direction.
Is this the way we’re meant to find the will of God for our lives? God doesn’t need to tell us what to do at each fork in the road. He’s already revealed so much about His plan for our lives: we’re to love Him with our whole heart, to obey His Word, and after that, to do what we like. There’s no need for hocus-pocus, no need to remain “directionally challenged” – no reason to wait for dreams, visions, fleeces, impressions, open doors, random Bible verses, casting lots, liver shivers or writing in the skies: just do something obedient to God’s Word and seek His blessing on it.

Our Heavenly Shepherd: Comfort and Strength from Psalm 23 (Ian Hamilton)
$8.75Psalm 23 is probably the best known and most read passage in the Bible – a wonderfully reassuring picture of the believer’s life. Through it we learn the Lord God almighty is the faithful, heavenly Shepherd of his sheep – not only faithfully leading his sheep in life but also through the valley of the shadow of death – bringing them into his house where he will dwell with them forever.
Reflecting on Psalm 23 verse by verse will help us see how rich and privileged the believer’s life is as we learn how personally God is committed to protect and bring his people to be with him to heaven.

Psychologized Man: A Biblical Perspective (Martha Peace)
$3.95A low view of God is common today, both among church-goers and those who don’t. Consequently, rather than view God as “the Most High”, He is seen as subservient to man’s purposes and needs: a servant to what we want. What kind of God is that?
If our minds are to be transformed to think soundly about God, we must also have a Biblical view of ourselves. The evolution of psychology, as detailed in this booklet, shows how completely self-focused 21st-century man has become, and how as a result we have lost any understanding of our purpose in this world.

Rescuing Ambition (Dave Harvey)
$14.75Dave Harvey is calling for a rescue. He wants to snatch ambition from the heap of failed motivations and put it to work for the glory of God. To understand our ambition, we must understand that we are on a quest for glory. And where we find glory determines the success of our quest.
Has your God-given ambition been starved and sedated for too long? Are you ambitious? It’s time to reach further and dream bigger for the glory of God.
