Author: Ernest Richards
Published: 2017

Growing in Grace is an easy to read and understand study that grows a believer in their relationship with Christ. No matter how long one has been a believer, the book firmly establishes the Bible as “The Believer’s Nourishment.”

Richards tackles sometimes confusing topics such as a believer’s position in Christ and our assurance in Him. For those frustrated with sin and desperate for the answer, chapter seven explains that God’s divine plan for sin is the Cross. Truly, Growing in Grace, clearly communicates the essential doctrines Christians today are waiting to be taught.

Author: John R. Cross
Published: 2018

Perhaps you’ve journeyed with a friend as they travelled from spiritual death to spiritual life. Perhaps you’ve wondered, “What’s next?”

Following the life of Simon Peter, The Captive and the King’s Will guides the new believer into the next steps of what it means to follow Christ. Assuming the reader has little or no previous exposure to church or Christianity, The Captive endeavours to touch on key sanctificational truths, grounding believers in their new-found faith as they pursue a walk with the Lord.

This book builds on previous books written by John R. Cross. It is truly a sequel—the next step—in learning about God and the Bible. The focus of this book is the identity of the Holy Spirit and his work in the life of a Bible believer.

All That the Prophets Have Spoken https://www.freegracealliance.com/2023/02/28/all-that-the-prophets-have-spoken/ https://www.freegracealliance.com/2023/02/28/all-that-the-prophets-have-spoken/#respond Tue, 28 Feb 2023 02:42:34 +0000 https://www.freegracealliance.com/?p=1780 All That the Prophets Have Spoken

Author: John R. Cross
Published: 2015

As the influence of Islam becomes more widespread, you meet more Muslims. But how do you communicate with them the central message of the Scriptures? Where do you begin? How do you even start?

In their holy book, the Quran, Muslims are told to believe the Torah of Moses, the psalms of David and the gospel of Jesus. If you’ve ever spoken with them about the Scriptures, they may have told you they “believe all the prophets.”

While many Old Testament stories are mentioned in the Quran and both speak of the same prophets, there are significant differences in interpretation and understanding. But how do you bridge those differences to present the message of the Bible in a way they will understand?

All that the Prophets have Spoken takes a look at the Bible without referral to Islam or the Quran. With an awareness of what Muslims believe about key prophets, the book examines what the Scriptures say about these men and connects them with the core message of the Bible. Keeping in mind the Islamic perspective, it builds on this understanding and addresses questions Muslims might have so by the end, they will have a clear understanding of the God of the Bible.

Published: 2017

Life is full of mystery. Is it possible that there is order in the midst of chaos?Are there solutions to everyday problems? Can there be meaning or purpose in life? Is it possible to know why we are here and where we are going? Why is there so much suffering and death? Is there life after death? Can we be enlightened here and now? Am I destined to lose all identity—to become part of a great nothingness? Is it true that there are no answers?

There is an ancient book that discusses the many questions in life. It is called the Holy Bible. But are the answers found within its pages trustworthy? To decide for yourself, you need to know what it really says. By This Name peels the religion off this sacred book and lets the ancient story speak for itself. In the process, a message of hope snaps into focus.

Audience: Engages those who adopt their own spirituality, making God out to be whatever they want. Also for those who think of God as an impersonal force or for those with post-modern, post-Christian and secular mindsets. Addresses questions arising from polytheism, pantheism, animism, agnosticism and atheism.

The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus https://www.freegracealliance.com/2023/02/28/the-stranger-on-the-road-to-emmaus/ https://www.freegracealliance.com/2023/02/28/the-stranger-on-the-road-to-emmaus/#respond Tue, 28 Feb 2023 01:10:07 +0000 https://www.freegracealliance.com/?p=1761 The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus

Author: John R. Cross
Published: 2015

The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus gives a solid overview of the main message of the Bible. It ties together key Old and New Testament stories to reveal the identity of God and the nature of sin, all the time answering two questions: “Who is Jesus?” and “What is the story of the cross and the tomb all about?” It helps a person understand clearly the main message of Bible.

When you are done reading The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus, you may find yourself believing “the Book” like you never have before. Or you may decide not to. The author’s objective approach leaves that decision up to you.

Audience: This book is ideal for people who come from a Christianized background, whether Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox. It assumes readers have a concept of only one God who is a person, not a force.

This is a great book with solid teaching. Would be a good book for a new Christian to read or in a small group study with those seeking to understand more about the Christian faith. It would also be a good book for someone who has been a Christian for a long time who has not spent much time reading through the bible or maybe just needs a better understanding of how it all fits together. –Testimonial
