Angst ist wahrscheinlich die stärkste menschliche Emotion – aber auch eine, die uns vor ein Rätsel stellt. Ist Angst in der Bibel nun etwas Gutes oder etwas Schlechtes? Und was bedeutet es, "den Herrn zu fürchten"? Michael Reeves lichtet die Wolken der Verwirrung und zeigt, dass Gottesfurcht nichts Negatives ist, sondern ein freudiges Staunen über den herrlichen Gott, unseren Schöpfer und Erlöser.

Das Wort "evangelikal" wird oft unzureichend definiert und ist mit manchem Ballast beladen. So stellen sich einige sogar die Frage, ob sie diese Bezeichnung nicht ganz aufgeben sollten. Michael Reeves argumentiert anhand der Bibel und der Kirchengeschichte, dass es nicht notwendig ist, das Wort zu verwerfen. Christen müssen jedoch zu den Wurzeln des Begriffs – zum euangélion, dem Evangelium – zurückkehren und verstehen, was er tatsächlich bedeutet.

Wie können wir mit Gott ins Reine kommen? Warmherzig und klar zeigt Michael Reeves auf, was die Bibel über die Rechtfertigung durch den Glauben allein lehrt. Für all jene, die Christus noch nicht kennen oder die an ihrer Errettung zweifeln, hält die Bibel eine gute Nachricht bereit, die Trost und Freude schenkt.

Organized around the main beliefs that undergirded his ministry - the centrality of Christ, the importance of the new birth, the indwelling of the Spirit, and the necessity of the Bible - this introduction to Charles Spurgeon’s life and thought will challenge listeners to live their lives for the glory of God.

Scripture warns believers of hypocrisy—called the "leaven of the Pharisees"—and its potential to spread quickly in the church. Outwardly appearing as devout religion, this legalism hides destructive pride, idolatry, and even apostasy. Unfortunately, pharisaism is still a problem among evangelicals today. How does Jesus instruct the church to recognize and defeat one of its deepest theological issues? In this clear, compelling call to spiritual reformation, Michael Reeves helps believers reject pharisaism and embrace gospel integrity.

This accessible and informative volume covers the Apostolic Fathers, Justin Martyr and Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Anselm and Thomas Aquinas.

The reality is that we will only be as full as the well we drink from, and many of us drink from very shallow wells indeed. This book is an invitation to every thirsty Christian, however weary and flat you are feeling, however weak and unworthy you consider yourself, to come to the waters and drink deeply. You will do this as you contemplate the sight, the vision, that transforms from glory to glory.

Where does authentic ministry lie? The answer of this book is: in the heart. Authentic ministry is not simply a matter of mastering professional skills or of endlessly pouring oneself out in works of service. Rather, it springs from joyful union with Christ.

The Puritans, as a body, have done more to elevate the national character than any class of Englishmen that ever lived. Ardent lovers of civil liberty, and ready to die in its defense - mighty at the council board, and no less mighty in the battlefield - feared abroad throughout Europe, and invincible at home while united - great with their pens, and no less great with their swords - fearing God very much, and fearing men very little - they were a generation of men who have never received from their country the honor that they deserve.

Den meisten von uns fällt es schwer, sich Zeit zum Beten zu nehmen. Doch keine Sorge: Dieses Buch ist keines von der Sorte, die deine Schuldgefühle vergrößert – es fordert dich nicht auf, mehr und besser zu beten. Nein, Michael Reeves zeigt, weshalb Gebet so wichtig ist, aber auch, wie wir Freude daran haben können.

Fear is one of the strongest human emotions — and one that often baffles Christians. In the Bible the picture can seem equally confusing: Is fear a good thing or a bad thing? And what does it mean to “fear the Lord”? In this audiobook, Michael Reeves clears the clouds of confusion and shows that the fear of the Lord is not a negative thing at all, but an intensely delighted wondering at God, our creator and redeemer.

We all have experienced fear at some point. And if we are honest, we don’t usually think of fear as a good thing. So why does the Bible call us to fear the Lord? In this audiobook, Michael Reeves explains that the fear of God is not a gloomy fear marked by anxiety but a heartfelt and happy enjoyment of God as Creator and Redeemer. As we learn more about the surprising good news of the fear of the Lord, we will discover the vital role we play in displaying to the world the awesomeness of our God.

Evangelism and missions are parts of the Christian life often accompanied by fears, insecurities, and cultural pressures. In this addition to the Union series, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves argue that an individual's relationship with God influences their evangelism and missions more than anything else. Scripture clearly shows that a believer's responsibility is to make God known in the world, but this cannot be done without first knowing and enjoying God.

How do we become right with God? Michael Reeves warmly and clearly introduces what the Bible teaches about justification by faith alone. For anyone who does not know Christ or is lacking confidence in their salvation, the Bible has good news of comfort and joy.

Many Christians know they should be passionate about evangelism, but in reality they often find it daunting. In this concise version of God Shines Forth, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves urge Christians to grow in their knowledge and enjoyment of God—as they know God more, they will be spurred on to authentic service through missions and evangelism. To illustrate how the nature of God influences evangelism and missions, Hames and Reeves address biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope.

NOUS NE SOMMES PAS DOUÉS POUR LA PRIÈRE. C’est malheureusement vrai pour la plupart d’entre nous et cela ne devrait pas nous étonner. Toutefois, ce livre n’aborde pas le sujet de la prière d’une manière culpabilisante. Au lieu de nous dire de mieux prier ou de prier plus souvent, l’auteur nous montre plutôt pourquoi la prière est essentielle et pourquoi nous devrions en profiter pleinement.

The term evangelical is often poorly defined and frequently comes with cultural and political baggage. As the label has become more controversial, many Christians have begun to wonder if they should abandon it altogether. Michael Reeves argues from a global, scriptural, and historical perspective that, while it's not necessary to discard the label altogether, Christians must return to the root of the term—the evangel, or "gospel"—in order to understand what it truly means.

Michael Reeves wants you to understand that the doctrine of the Trinity has everything to do with the practice of missions. When a Christian sees the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as divine persons who are so full of love that it radiates and overflows into creation — and into the lives of human beings — our perspective on missions is radically changed. No longer are missions an obligation or a drudgery. Instead, realizing the abundance of love that goes forth from God, we who have received and delighted in such love are motivated to go forth as well.
