Piper, Don. 90
Minutes in Heaven : a
true story of death and life [231.73 PIP]
“On the way home from
a conference, Don Piper’s car was crushed by a semi that crossed into his
lane. Medical personnel said he died
instantly. While his body lay lifeless
inside the ruins of his car, Piper experienced the glories of heaven, awed by
its beauty and music. Ninety minutes
after the wreck, while a minister prayed for him, Piper miraculously returned
to life on earth with only the memory of inexpressible heavenly bliss. His
faith in God was severely tested as he faced an uncertain and gruelling
recovery. Now he shares his life-changing story with you.”
Tsukahira, Peter. God's Tsunami :
understanding Israel and end-time prophecy [236.9 TSU]
“…about biblical prophecy and how
its fulfilment is joining the destinies of Israel and the nations of the
world. The shockwaves from this
convergence are generating a spiritual tidal wave of change affecting all the
earth…Peter provides information that sheds light on some amazing miracles that
many believers in the twenty-first century have not been equipped to
appreciate.”
Strauch, Alexander. Love or die : Christ's wake-up call to the church : Revelation 2:4 [241.4 STR]
“Part 1: Examines
this alarming rebuke of Jesus Christ to his church: “an individual or a church
can teach sound doctrine, be faithful to the Gospel, be morally upright, and
work hard, yet be lacking love and therefore, be displeasing to Christ. Part 2:
Presents practical ways to cultivate LOVE in the local church: Study Love, Pray
for Love, Teach Love, Model Love, Guard Love, Practice
Love. Jesus commanded us to love God with all or heart, soul, and mind, and to
love our neighbour as ourselves. Yet few Christians take those commands
seriously. Alexander Strauch
does, and in this book, he helps us understand how to apply Jesus’ commands
both as individuals, and corporately in our churches.”
Perkins, Bill. When young men are tempted : sexual purity for
guys in the real world [241.6 PER]
“Make sense of temptation – discover how you’re
wired and why you might be doing what you know you shouldn’t be doing; admitting
to temptation – most things aren’t real until we can put words on them. Discover how to be honest with yourself, God,
and the people who can help you; Getting out of temptation – the point is not
to stop being tempted; it’s just a part of life. But there are tools to help you deal with
your desires. Sexual temptation is going to be with you your entire life. Now
is the time to figure out how to deal with it. If you’re tangled up in desires
you know are wrong, open this book and start becoming the guy God intended you
to be.”
Eckman, David. Sex,
Food & God : breaking free from temptations,
compulsions, & addictions [241.68 ECK]
“…shares how and why
unhealthy appetites grip people and trap them on a fantasy world; how God
responds gently to weaknesses and failure; how shame and guilt disappear when
we realise His passionate delight in us; how four great experiences of
spiritual life break the addiction cycle; how enjoyment of our relationship
with God actually guards us from addiction. As you begin to grasp God’s
radically loving plan to protect us, you’ll find yourself wanting to run
forward – away from aloneness and self-deception and into the arms of your Abba
Father.”
Sim, Camillus. Casino : memoirs of a compulsive gambler [248.2092
SIM]
“Camillus Sim was a Flight Steward for 17
years. He was a “free thinker” and a compulsive gambler who had “been there” in
most of the casinos all over the world.
He was obsessed with Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, and addicted to soccer
betting, 4D and ‘Mahjong’ at high stakes. He lived
life to the full when everything he betted on turned to gold; he even won the
first and third prizes from the same 4D draw. He acquired all that he wanted –
a BMW, Rolex watches, a $5000 handphone, VIP membership at casinos and resigned
to start a massage parlour. He
eventually lost $1.3 million and had gone through the crisis of loan sharks
splashing paints at his apartment whilst he was “on the run”. He was inevitably
sued into bankruptcy. In the darkest moment of his life, God intervened through
his Christian friends June and Andrew, who signed him for an eight-day Retreat
where he had a personal encounter with Jesus. God touched him in a unique way;
he was transformed, quit gambling and subsequently searched for a
Christian/biblical perspective of gambling…”
Smith, Ken. It’s About Time
[248.4 SMI]
“Anxiety. Over
commitment. Procrastination. Are these holding
you back? Do you feel that there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get
everything done? Then this book is for you."
Loh, Andrew. Generous Giving [248.6 LOH]
“The purpose of this collection of stories is
to make vivid pictures of the principles of biblical giving out of the lives of
outstanding historical and contemporary Christian givers.”
Smith,
Ali. Entrusting the Key
: from serial dating to joyful waiting [248.8432 SMI]
“…a delightful and
humorous blend of storytelling and deep Biblical insights. Find out how
surrendering the key to the door of her heart brought her to new levels of
trusting that the One who loves her unconditionally will provide for all her
needs. She shares a fresh new
perspective on how to find joy and fulfilment during periods of waiting, in
chapters such as “Be content, not confused”, “Lonely but not alone”, “Refusing
the pressure cooker” and many more. As
you see the intricate workings of a personal, intimate and interactive God in
Ali’s life, this book will surely leave you feeling inspired, encouraged and
comforted wherever you are at in your journey.”
