New Titles in Emmaus Library  Issue 3, June 2010

 

 

Baldwin, Joyce G. The message of Genesis 12 – 50 [222.11 BAL]

“Shows the vivid narratives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph speaking to us today, despite their great antiquity.  Above all, they highlight God’s ways of dealing with ordinary men and women.  God takes the initiative in drawing us to himself. His purpose is not local, but world-wide; the rich scope of God’s love is tellingly evident. Yet, in fulfilling his great plan in history, he words individually – with people who are fearful like Abraham or twisty like Jacob. Their often painful experiences enabled them (and help us) to know the specific character of the God they worshipped.  The narratives, Joyce Baldwin points out, are an epitome of the gospel.”

 

Anderson, Neil T. The Bondage Breaker [235.4 AND]

The Bible warns repeatedly that all Christians will struggle against Satan and his spiritual forces of darkness. While the spiritual conflict that churns within you is very real, the answers are just as tangible. The book reveals the whys and hows of spiritual warfare and exposes Satan’s battle for your mind.  It also shares the powerful truth that will break even the most stubborn habits or private sins.”

 

Anderson, Neil T.  Victory over the Darkness [253 AND]

“The powers of darkness attack us daily…but you can have the power to conquer them by knowing who you are in Christ. Learn how to realise the power of your identity in Christ; free yourself from the burdens of your past; stand against the spiritual forces of this world; win the battle for your mind; become the spiritual person you want to be; discover the truth about God’s view of you.”

 

Anderson, Neil T.  Purity under pressure [241.66 AND]

“Should I or shouldn’t I?  Everyone else is, so why not?  He says he loves me.  She can’t believe I’m still a virgin.  What if I’ve messed up?  In this book, you’ll find out the difference between being friends, dating, and having a relationship. You’ll see how the physical stuff fits in. And you’ll get answer s to the questions you’re asking:  What is real love? How can you keep a good relationship from going bade? What does God say about sex? How far is too far? What if you’re trapped? Can you ever be free?  Can you ever “start over?” “

 

Tan, Siang-Yang. Rest : experiencing God's peace in a restless world [248.4 TAN]

“Diagnoses what ails us and provide thoroughly practical steps to help us respond to Jesus’ invitation.”

 

Willard, Dallas. The Spirit of the Discipline [248.4 WIL]

“…presents a way of living that enables ordinary men and women to enjoy the fruit of the Christian life. Reveals how the key to self-transformation resides in the practice of the spiritual disciplines, and how their practice affirms human life to the fullest.”

 

Anderson, Kerby. A Biblical Point of View on Homosexuality [261.8 AND]

“Brings into sharp focus the key issues and essential facts you need to know about homosexuality – with clear, concise answers to the controversial questions many are asking, such as: is a person born homosexual, or is it a choice? Should same-sex marriages be legalised?  What are some of the popular myths about homosexuality? Is it possible for homosexuals to change? How should I respond when someone says, Ï’m gay”?.

 

 

Farrel, Bill.  Men are like waffles, women are like spaghetti : understanding and delighting in your differences [306.8 FAR]

Men process life like waffles. They think and act by moving from box to box.  They enter a box, size up the single problem, and formulate a solution. Women process life like a plate of spaghetti. Each issue is like an individual noodle that touches every other noodle on the plate. They find it natural to multitask. In this innovative and fun approach to the differences between men and women, relationship experts Bill and Pam provide humorous stories, easy-to-understand examples, and clear directions to help you achieve harmony in your marriage.  Discover how to really connect when communicating with each other, keep the sizzle in your sex life; experience greater closeness in your day-to-day lives; turn irritations and conflict into positive responses; nourish each other’s dreams and establish goals.  From raising children to divvying up household chores, Bill and Pam reveal practical ways you and your mate can be supportive of each other and create a dynamic marriage.”

God’s Plan for the Family [248.4 GOD]

1 DVD

“No one needs to prove to Christians that we are watching the gradual death of an essential element of civilization: the family. We are constantly exposed in the media to divorce, sexual infidelity, homosexuality, male chauvinism, and women’s liberation. We often see husbands and wives fight over who has control over their lives, careers, finances, and even children. In such circumstances, how can anyone save their marriage relationship?  Here, the author examines what Scripture says about the spiritual transformation that will benefit your marriage relationship and bring about deep contentment and a sense of purpose.”
