Emotionally Healthy Spirituality: Unleash A Revolution In Your Life in Christ
Author: Peter Scazzero
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Price: RM42.50
Emotional Healthy Spirituality is a groundbreaking work on the integration of emotional health and contemplative spirituality that current models of discipleship fail to address. Many sincere followers of Christ, followers who are really passionate for God, join a church, participate weekly in a small group, serve with their gifts, and who are considered "mature," remain stuck at a level of spiritual immaturity--especially when faced with interpersonal conflicts and crises. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality offers a strategy for discipleship that address this void, offering powerful pathways to transformation that will help readers mature into a faith filled with authenticity and a profound love for God.



How Then Should We Choose?: Three Views on God's Will and Decision Making
Editor: Douglas S.Huffman
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Price: RM43.50
The three-views approach is an effective and succinct means of introducing theological subjects to readers of all levels. Henry and Richard Blackaby, Garry Friesen, and Gordon T. Smith present three principal views on God's will and how his will should affect our everyday decisions as Christians. How Then Should We Choose? applies this proven format to the vital topic of decision making and the Christian's search for the will of God. Garry Friesen of Multnomah Bible College, Henry and Richard Blackaby of Blackaby Ministries International, and Gordon T. Smith of Regent College each contribute summaries of their perspectives on God's will and their approaches to decision making. Friesen discusses the 'wisdom' view, Henry and Richard Blackaby delineate the 'specific will' view, and Smith champions the 'relationship' view of God's will. In an effort to make this discussion reader friendly, the contributors have applied their beliefs regarding God's will and decision making to three practical, concrete topics: career, relationships, and stewardship. Using three hypothetical stories, the authors illustrate how their respective views would influence decisions in these common areas of concern.

My Heart, the Holy Spirit's Home: A Woman's Guide to Welcoming the Holy Spirit Into Your Daily Life
Author: Lynda Hunter Bjorklund
Publisher: Regal
Price: RM38.40
The Holy Spirit’s role in believers’ lives has been a hot-button since the moment Jesus ascended into heaven and left His kingdom work to the Church. Many Christians are confused about how the Spirit operates in their lives, caught somewhere between an “anything goes” Charismatic understanding of His indwelling and a skepticism that mistrusts anything “fanatical.” In spite of their uncertainty, however, most Christians are hungry for deep communion with God, which only comes when the Holy Spirit is given permission to be a free, active and personal influence on their hearts. Lynda Hunter Bjorklund has lived on both sides of the issue, and her aim in My Heart, the Holy Spirit’s Home is to help close the gap in individual believers’ lives and in the Church. Her approach to the topic is theologically rich yet simple enough for any reader to understand.Christians will learn how to exchange their questions for answers, wariness for certainty and weakness for power as they develop a personal relationship with the Spirit.

A Disruptive Faith: Expect God to Interrupt Your Life
Author: A.W.Tozer
Publisher: Regal
Price: RM38.40
The word “faith” is common these days, but placing one’s faith in God is a weighty action, uncommonly fraught with consequence and, by His design, inconvenience. Faith in God is reassuring and comforting only insofar as believers trust Him—and that depth of trust is the mark of a mature Christian who has allowed faith to intrude on his life and shift his gaze away from his own aims, needs and desires. This is nothing if not a painful and disturbing process.
A Disruptive Faith is A. W. Tozer’s never-before-published teaching on what he termed “faith that perturbs”—faith that contradicts the unbelieving man and threatens the complacency of the Christian. The renowned pastor and teacher insists in these pages that genuine faith breeds dissatisfaction with this life, by God’s design; it weans us from this temporary life and prepares us for the life to come. Readers will learn to be content with this faith-inspired discontent and to experience a fresh hope for eternity with God.

Invitations from God: Accepting God's Offer to Rest, Weep, Forgive, Wait, Remember and More
Author: Adele Ahlberg Calhoun
Publisher: IVP Books
Price: RM38.40
Some invitations we desperately want: "Will you marry me?" "Would you consider a promotion?" Other invitations we never want to receive but must respond to all the same: "What treatment do you want for your tumor?" Invitations pound away at the coastlines of the soul with a transforming force. God is also sending invitations. Sometimes they seem less compelling than anything on my to-do list. Why would I want to say yes to the invitation to rest when I'm already so far behind? Why follow when I could lead? Why accept invitations to weep or to admit I am wrong or to wait? Saying yes might slow me down, sabotage my agenda and even undo who I think I am. Adele Calhoun, author of the popular Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, offers a book about invitations like these—divine invitations we miss or ignore because we've said yes to going with the cultural flow. While these invitations from God can sometimes be difficult to accept, they can heal and restore even as they shape where we go, what we do and who we become. What we say yes to, what we say no to forms the terrain of our future. Included in this book are reflection questions and exercises as well as overview charts with recommended disciplines to guide you through each theme. As you attend to the often hidden, quiet voice of the Great Inviter, you will find yourself as God created you to be.

Author: Charles R.Swindoll
Publisher: Thomas Nelson

It just takes a God-given desire for obedience and the practical applications this book teaches. This will be a must-have for every Christian for years to come.



Desiring God, Revised Edition: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist
Author: John Piper
Publisher: Multnomah Books
Price: RM38.40
EXPERIENCE THE LIFELONG PLEASURES OF KNOWING GOD.
Satisfaction…Happiness…Joy. According to John Piper, the pursuit of pleasure in God is not only permissible, it’s essential.
Desiring God is a paradigm-shattering work that dramatically alters common perspectives on relating to God. Piper reveals that there really is no need to choose between duty and delight in the Christian life. In fact, for the follower of Jesus, delight is the duty as Christ is most magnified in His people when they are most satisfied in Him.
Constantly drawing on Scripture to build his case, Piper shows why pursuing maximum joy is essential to glorifying God. He discusses the implications of this for conversion, worship, love, Scripture, prayer, money, marriage, missions, and suffering.
Piper beckons us to approach God with the hedonist’s abandon. Finally, we are freed to enjoy Jesus—not only as our Lord and Savior, but also as our all-surpassing, soul-satisfying Treasure.
Desiring God may turn your Christian world upside down. And that will be a good thing, for the glory of God, and for your deepest joy.
Includes study guide for individual and small group use.

Publisher: Zondervan
Price: RM48.65
Discover the power of recovery ministry for your church. Churchgoers who experience painful family issues, addictions, abuse, loss, mental illnesses, and other secret sorrows begin to believe they live beyond the grip of God's redemptive hand.

People badly need Christ-centered counsel and encouragement, but few church leaders even know where to start. Bridges to Grace is an inspiring introduction highlighting the stories of churches across the country that are thinking systematically and organizationally about the ministry of recovery.

Business for the Common Good: A Christian Vision for the Marketplace
Author: Kenman L.Wong & Scott B.Rae
Publisher: IVP Academic
Price: RM61.45
Is business just a way to make money? Or can the marketplace a venue for service to others? Scott B. Rae and Kenman L. Wong seek to explore this and other critical business issues from a uniquely Christian perspective, offering up a vision for work and service that is theologically grounded and practically oriented. Among the specific questions they address along the way are these:

-What parts of business can be affirmed and practiced "as is" and what parts need to be rejected or transformed?
-What challenges exist as attempts are made to live out Christian ideals in a broken world characterized by tight margins, fierce competition and short-term investor pressures?
