Christ, Not I simply and effectively reveals the profound “secret” to living the Christian life in the full and powerful way indicated by St. Paul: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). If even a small minority of Christians were to read and follow what is written here, we would witness the greatest spiritual revival in the history of our country. Illustrated with engaging personal anecdotes, stories drawn from the lives of great Christians of the past and present, and powerful biblical examples, the book Christ, Not I is truly essential for 21st-century Christians and for a new generation. Dr. Stephen F. Olford was the founder of the Stephen Olford Center for Biblical Preaching in Memphis, Tennessee, where he served as a senior lecturer.

Many Christians recognize that they have been “called” to serve God. But what are the essential aspects of a healthy spiritual life? Through the ministries of the apostles Peter, Paul, and John, Watchman Nee identifies three distinct but complementary aspects of ministry. The first is evangelistic and its purpose is to bring people into the kingdom; the second seeks to build up God's people in union with Christ; and the third calls the Church to turn away from error and disunity. Today, as always, we need all three ministries, as you can read in What Shall This Man Do?

“I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings...” (Philippians 3:10).The word "sufferings" in this book does not refer to physical or mental illnesses, but to the sufferings of Christ. We must pay with him the price of proclaiming the good news of the cross and Christ's resurrection to a world that is hostile to God and His ways.We must not focus on suffering, but on the splendid truth that we are children of God and co-heirs with Christ, who have been given the privilege of participating in the ministry of reconciling all things to Himself through Christ. No matter what God asks of us, He will always give us back more in this life. Furthermore, He assures us that we will be glorified with Him, that His glory will be revealed through us.

The concepts of God's sovereignty and man's responsibility, both present in the Holy Scriptures, have for centuries appeared irreconcilable, giving rise to heated disputes that have led to more divisions than solutions. Yet, the various biblical doctrines complement and enrich each other, and in every aspect, the Word of God captivates us with its perfect unity and coherence. It is from these considerations that Carlo Bertinelli draws inspiration for a passionate search in the Holy Scriptures, the results of which go beyond traditional theological debate and allow him to demonstrate that even on topics normally considered irreconcilable, perfect harmony exists in biblical teaching. Dr. M. Giulia Manzoni

What are words?An ancient proverb stated that the belly is not filled with words, meaning one cannot live on words alone. But in this book, words are signals to encounter the true word of God."Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly" (Colossians 3:16) For Bible study, a Bible concordance or word index is often used, which is a collection listing the main words of the Bible.The author found it useful to extract 365 words from the Bible concordance, one for each day of the year, and to make them the starting point for meditation and prayer.This book does not claim to be a Bible concordance, but it presents in alphabetical order some biblical terms and concepts that we may know well but have never deeply explored.It is not a biblical dictionary, but it serves as an aid for Bible readers who often encounter terms whose meaning they would like to grasp better.The biblical passages collected in this book are intended to be a valuable aid for personal reflection.
