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?

CHARLES FINNEY, a young lawyer, came into personal contact with Christ, and from that moment his life was completely transformed. "The impulse of my soul," Finney recounts, "was so impetuous that I rushed to pray in the room next to my study. There was neither light nor fire in it, yet it seemed entirely illuminated to me. As soon as I entered and closed the door behind me, I felt as if I met face to face with the Lord Jesus Christ. I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I had the sensation of an electric wave coursing through my entire being: waves upon waves of love. I could not express this reality with different words: it seemed to me that it was the very breath of the Lord. I remember distinctly feeling as if immense wings were fanning me... a wonderful love was poured into my heart. I wept aloud with love and joy."This fascinating biography presents the interested reader with the reality and power of the baptism of the Holy Spirit for a life of living faith.

Billy Graham, now over ninety years old, explores the challenges of aging while gleaning fundamental truths from Scripture.“Getting old has been the biggest surprise of my life. I never imagined what God had in store for me, and I know that as I draw closer to home, He will not abandon me on the last stretch of the journey.When many years of life are granted, getting on in years is natural, but aging gracefully is a choice. Growing older gracefully is possible for those who fix their hearts and minds on the giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.Explore with me not only the realities of life as we age, but also the hope and satisfaction, and even the joy we can have once we learn to view these years from God's perspective and discover His strength that sustains us each day!” (Billy Graham)

This could be the most astounding promise in the Bible: God yearns to know you intimately. In the pages of "Draw Near", Bevere urges you not to settle for a bland Christianity that knows about God without knowing God. The incredible invitation from the Creator of the universe is not simply to worship Him from a distance with words and rituals, but to enter into such a significant and intimate personal relationship with Him that you will know His heart and He will know yours. We often feel God is distant, but this is not due to God, but to ourselves. Material possessions, entertainment, and worship focused on our own well-being prevent us from drawing near to Him. But if we humbly open our lives to God, He will reveal Himself to us. Instead of providing a practical guide, John Bevere offers us a treasure map that leads to the heart of God. Re-establishing intimate communion with God will fill your life with joy and passion. “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you!” (James 4:8)

“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

Hamburg '44 is not a true war story, nor is it an essay against one side or the other that played a significant role in the last great world conflict. Against the tragic backdrop of Hitler's Germany in Hamburg in 1944, the compelling episodes narrated by Erino Dapozzo primarily bring us back to contemplate the themes of hatred and violence as a consequence of wickedness and spiritual disorder. In a very particular way, Erino Dapozzo's reflections lead us to evaluate and deepen our personal relationship with God. Very often, in times of danger and suffering, people wonder if God exists and where He is; Erino Dapozzo, precisely in those circumstances, we see him firmly believing that 'all things work together for good' for him, and therefore wholeheartedly thanking the Lord. And that faith proves to be a demonstration of things unseen, the faith of the Bible.
