241256: Spirit Rising: Tapping into the Power of the Holy Spirit Spirit Rising: Tapping into the Power of the Holy SpiritBy Jim Cymbala with Jennifer SchuchmannThe Christian life is impossible without the Holy Spirit, but many of us manage to live without His power in our lives. In Spirit Rising, pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, Jim Cymbala, seeks to reintroduce the often misunderstood third person of the Trinity. Many Christians fall into one of two camps: those who strongly emphasize the Holy Spirit tend to undervalue Biblical teaching; while other evangelicals are sold out on the Bible, but tend to undervalue the experience of the Spirit. Through a blend of solid Biblical teaching and by sharing the testimonies of those who have been transformed by the Spirit’s presence in their lives, Cymbala shows how embracing the move of the Spirit is vital to living a life of spiritual power and victory.

From musicians and movie stars, to neighbors and friends at work, people are interested in having a spiritual life, but treat faith more like an à la carte menu at a restaurant, choosing what they like and dismissing the rest.

In Why Jesus? Rediscovering His Truth in an Age of Mass Market Spirituality, Ravi Zacharias explores how this “New Spirituality” emerged. Looking at popular culture and contemporary writers and philosophers in this dialogue, Ravi evaluates their claims through the lens of four key elements–Truth, Relevance, Faith, and Reason, to show how relativism cannot answer the spiritual hunger in our hearts.

960881: Beautiful Outlaw: Experiencing the Playful, Disruptive, Extravagant Personality of Jesus Beautiful Outlaw: Experiencing the Playful, Disruptive, Extravagant Personality of JesusBy John EldredgeIn Beautiful Outlaw, John Eldredge removes the religious varnish to help readers discover stunning new insights into the personality of Jesus. He was accused of breaking the law, keeping bad company, heavy drinking. Of being the devil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him. But others loved him passionately. He had a sense of humor. His generosity was scandalous. His anger made enemies tremble. He’d say the most outrageous things. He was definitely not the Jesus of the stained glass.

In the author’s winsome, narrative approach, he breaks Jesus out of the typical stereotypes, just as he set masculinity free in his book, Wild at Heart. By uncovering the real Jesus, readers are welcomed into the rich emotional life of Christ. All of the remarkable qualities of Jesus burst like fireworks with color and brilliance because of his humanity. Eldredge goes on to show readers how they can experience this Jesus in their lives every day. Beautiful Outlaw will quicken readers’ worship, and deepen their intimacy with our incomparable Lord and Savior.
