The Life of a Christian
Imagine writing a letter to a loved one that would most likely be the last words they would ever receive from you. What would you say? Dr. Henry Bast explores these final words of Peter in The Life of a Christian.
“In this letter Peter looks not only at the circumstances, problems, difficulties and temptations the Christians faced in the first century; he looks beyond these to the second coming of Jesus Christ and the end time.” While reading this book you may find that Peter’s message rings strangely true even today.
When We Question God
We all have our questions. We ask them of parents and teachers. We put them to experts and professionals in various fields. We debate them with friends and mull over them in quiet moments alone.
What Love is Like
Love is not a feeling, it is a way of behaving.
This is the thesis of one of the most familiar and popular chapters in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter. Paul, the writer of this famous love song, says the most important thing to know about love is what it does. These ten studies try to explain in simple terms each of the love actions, attitudes that characterize the deepest kind of love.
A Guided Life, Touched By Grace
Real praying isn’t easy; sometimes it can be difficult. But God wants us to pray. Prayer is also God’s gift. He provides everything we need and then calls us to respond. Well, then, how do we capture excitement about prayer when we’ve lost the heart to pray? Dr. Brownson doesn’t intend this book to be merely a call to prayer. Rather, his purpose is to inspire courage to pray, to leave us saying “I think I can do that. I can learn to pray.”

Life in the Light of the Gospel
When Paul wrote to the Corinthians that he had decided to “know nothing” among them “except Jesus Christ and him crucified,” he was not claiming for himself a narrow, limited message. The apostle obviously addressed a number of doctrinal issues, ethical concerns and church problems. But he approached every one of those in a particular way – in the light of the gospel, in the light of Christ crucified and risen for us. He brought to bear upon every issue he met, the mighty realities of the Gospel. Christ was always at the center.

Christ in the Psalms (9 Studies)
David Bast follows the trail of Christ in the Psalms. The result is a series of 9 Bible studies that focus not only on what various psalms prophesy concerning Christ, but also the New Testament passages that quote and interpret those texts. When read through the lens of the New Testament, we see Christ depicted in the Psalms in all his various roles – Saviour and Priest, King and Lord. The nine studies in this new book, suitable for either group of individual use, will both deepen your understanding of the person and work of Christ and quicken your devotion to him.
