CONQUEST BOOKS - Christian resources for all the family

How often have your emotions tossed you back and forth, clouding your visioin and preventing you from hearing God's will clearly? Have you ever been in an undefined emotional relationship with a woman or man and unable to break free, even though you know you should? "Emotional Purity: An Affair Of The Heart" delves into the multi-layered issues of emotional intimacy. Through personal examples, modern day parables, and scripture, this book reveals the importance for Christian singles to strive toward emotional purity. Christian singles seem to lack a sense of awareness of how thier "innocent" male/female friendships cause a delusion. With the emotional free-for all we have in Christian single circles, many are left wondering why they are broken-hearted over "friendships." Teh effects of accepting the attitude of intimacy without a commitment obviously devastates our culture. Scripture, however, teaches just the opposite. Practical solutions are given for this common, yet unspoken and largely undefined, problem that is running rampant. After taking an in-depth look into emotional purity and intimacy, the book conquers other related issues, such as envy, discontentment, feelings, expectations and God's purpose for marriage.

"the heart of man is his worst part before it regenerated, and the best afterward: it is the seat of principles, and the foundation of actions. The eye of God is, and the eye of the Christian ought to be, principally fixed upon it. The greatest difficulty in conversion is to win the heart to God; and the greatest difficulty after conversion is to keep the heart with God." so writes John Flavel in his classic work on union and fellowship with God. "In this comprehensive and particularly helpful book, John Flavel looks at what 'keeping the heart' (Proverbs 4:23) means, why we should take this commission seriously and especially at those particular times (adversity, prosperity, etc.,) when we need to be really watchful of being discouraged and distracted from the primary focus of the Christian life. Flavel gives many practical suggestions. His advice is timeless, sensitive and encouraging. This book should be read in conjunction with Flavel's other classic, 'The Mystery of Divine Providence.' Together, these two books are a much-needed corrective to modern man-centred thinking. They are especially helpful in providing a Biblical explanation on how to deal with our everyday affairs." - THE BAPTIST STANDARD BEARER, INC.

We see all around us that the world is on a quest for pleasure, power, profit, and position. Many Christians struggle to live faithfully in such a world and stay true to Christ’s command to be in the world, but not of it. Taking direction from the Puritans, John Calvin, and others, Joel Beeke guides readers to the biblical alternatives to worldliness: genuine piety and holiness. Written for such times as these, Overcoming the World will be a source of encouragement and growth for readers that are serious about following Christ. Pastors and other leaders will find here a uniquely practical work that will help them in leading Christians through the narrow gate.
"What is the nature of this worldliness from which the Christian and the church are to be delivered? Why is worldliness such a serious matter for the individual Christian and the church? How can we on a practical level put off worldliness in our lives and churches and put on the godliness that God desires, requires and blesses? Joel Beeke does us a great service by answering these and other crucial questions about worldliness in a very biblical, practical and insightful way." Dr. Wayne A. Mack

Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers." But it often seems like conflict and disagreement are unavoidable. Serious, divisive conflict is everywhere-within families, in the church, and out in the world. And it can seem impossible to overcome its negative force in our lives. In The Peacemaker, Ken Sande presents a comprehensive and practical theology for conflict resolution designed to bring about not only a cease-fire but also unity and harmony. Sande takes readers beyond resolving conflicts to true, life-changing reconciliation with family members, co-workers, and fellow believers. Biblically based, The Peacemaker is full of godly wisdom and useful suggestions that are easily applied to any relationship needing reconciliation. Sande's years of experience as an attorney and as president of Peacemaker Ministries will strengthen readers' confidence as they stand in the gap as peacemakers.

The writer begins by asking, "What is faith?" He asserts that faith is the activity of the entire heart, the entire life, embracing the weighty matters of personal salvation, and the nitty-gritty details of daily living. In these sermons, Dr Beeke looks at four aspects of faith as they operate in the lives of five biblical characters. Characters who, because they fall outside the hall of faith of Hebrews 11, are often forgotten as examples of faith, and yet characters who have much to teach us as they demonstrate aspects of faith that are sorely needed today by the church of Jesus Christ. As these characters are examined we are invited to ask ourselves three questions. Do I have this kind of saving faith? Am I exercising the particular aspect of faith that is being described? And most importantly, how can that particular aspect of faith be used in my life to make me a mature believer?

While reading the Scriptures, we sometimes want additional insight to understand its wealth. The author stands firm on the principle that all Godly teaching must be based upon the authority of God's Word, in its proper context, and not be based on any tradition or philosophy of men. Ralph Bouma writes many of the spiritual guides printed by Triangle Press for both the family and individual scholar. All of his writings reflect the principle that everything we believe must be weighed on the balance of the authority of God's Word. We are all wrestling in this life. We wrestle against the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness -- against Satan himself! However, there is a defense. Jesus Christ is our complete armour against the power of the devil. Spiritual Wrestling outlines the objects used by Satan to tempt us, detailing his tactics in capturing our hearts, the powers which we wrestle against, and how to defeat these evil powers through Christ.

What is the purpose of our lives? God's design is that he might be glorified and that those he has chosen might be saved to have abundant life. The life of faith is lived in the light of this truth: so that Christians must remember lack of growth brings God no honour, prayerlessness gives no glory. Yet, positively God works in the believer through Scripture to prepare them for glory and to give them happiness here and now. A. W. Pink looks at what God has done for us, why he has done this and how we should respond. He gives us marks of grace to look for in ourselves and reassurance as to the help God provides.
