About this book

This newest addition to the IXMarks series presents a clear, straightforward statement of the gospel, the third mark of a healthy church. What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God. Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Paul's systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.

Recovering redemption

Matt Chandler and Michael Snetzer

Recovering Redemption, written with a pastor{u2019}s bold intensity and a counselor{u2019}s discerning insight, takes you deeply into Scripture to take you deeply inside yourself, discovering that the heart of all our problems is truly the problem of our hearts. But because of what God has done, and because of what God can do, the most confident, contented person you know could actually be you-redeemed through Jesus Christ. _ None of us, really, can do what{u2019}s required to change our lives for the better, taking what{u2019}s persistently frustrating and making it perfectly satisfying. Yet as hopeless as that may sound, it is the flat-line truth in which good news comes to life . . . to your life. For just as what{u2019}s lost can be found, what{u2019}s wrong can-even now-be recovered.

The battle belongs to the Lord

Joyce Meyer

"In this complement to the bestselling 'Battlefield of the Mind, ' Meyer masterfully illustrates how three of the greatest men of the Bible--Jehosaphat, Gideon, and Elijah--came through their own time of crisis with victory by allowing God to fight their battles for them"--The publisher's web site.

Angels

Billy Graham

Angels have a much more important place in the Bible than the devil and his demons. Therefore, I undertook a biblical study of the subject of angels. Not only has it been one of the most fascinating studies of my life, but I believe the subject is more relevant today then perhaps at any time in history. The Bible teaches that angels intervene in the affairs of nations. God often uses them to execute judgment on nations. They guide, comfort and provide for the people of God in the midst of suffering and persecution. Martin Luther once said in Tabletalk, "An angel is a spiritual creature without a body created by God for the service of Christendom and the church." In the midst of the world crisis through which we are destined to live in the years ahead, the subject of angels will be of great comfort and inspiration to believers in God and a challenge to unbelievers to believe. - Preface.

Celtic blessings

Ray Simpson

The ancient Celts did not differentiate between the sacred and the secular. Rather, to these peoples, virtually everything under the sun had spiritual significance. Ray Simpson illustrates this Celtic vision of spirituality in his collection of over 130 blessings for almost every aspect of our lives, from baptizing an infant to buying a new car, from leaving home to falling in love. Celtic Blessings: Prayers for Everyday Life is a must for fans of Celtic spirituality or anyone who seeks to appreciate the wisdom of one of the world's oldest religious traditions.
