“This book has grown out of the Relationships Revolution project – an ongoing initiative by the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (formerly the Inter-Varsity Fellowship) in UK, to provide positive biblical teaching and realistic practical help in the area of sexuality and relationships…What we are aiming for in this book is:

– to go beyond trite and superficial advice
— to transcend romantic ideals and notions
– to have our relationships turned upside down and inside out.
– to discover and learn together and to be the best that we can be.”

MacArthur, John, Jr. Found: God’s Will [248.4851 MAC]

“You may want to jump and shout when you read the sixth principle for knowing when you have found God’s will. The sixth principle is “Do whatever you want” as long as the first five principles are operating in your life.

Bates, Gary. Gay marriage: right or wrong, and who decides? [261.8357 BAT]

“Gay marriage is being legalized in Western countries all over the world and has set off a firestorm of debate. Does our traditional view of marriage need to be changed in light of these reforms? What should Christians and even non-believers think about this issue when all of the pertinent facts are set before them? … openly and frankly discusss the facts and helps clear away much of the confusion and misinformation that characterizes this debate.”

Brooks, Cyril H. Grace triumphant: the triumph of God’s grace in the Philippines: an autobiography [266 BRO]

In hospital with pneumonia and pleurisy – the doctor’s verdict, “He won’t live through the night!” Years of missionary service in the Philippines including facing starvation during Japanese occupation and internment camp. Dramatic rescue shortly before planned assassination by the Japanese. Experiences like these have made up a full life, a life full of God’s goodness and grace.”

Verwer, George. Drops from a leaking tap [266 VER]

“…narrates and assesses how, in spite of a mixture of the ups and downs, lives that are committed to Jesus can move forward in his purposes.
– Our choice to walk with the Lord and to serve him will bring us good as well as unpleasant experiences
– God answers prayers, but not all prayers will be answered the way we want them
– Victory is our privilege, but not all seeming defeats can be erased from our history
– Obstacles are sure to come in our lives, yet his all sufficiency will help us overcome them all.

We must press forward with our eyes on the Saviour, Lord Jesus. Let’s embrace the pain and hurt and allow them to make us better people for his glory.” Says Goerge Verwer with many examples from his real life and 52 years of ministry.”

Hearts aflame: living the passion for evangelism [269.2 HEA]

“…the Apostle [Paul] himself knew that he could not keep silent about the Gospel as he exclaimed, “Woe is me if I do not preach the Gospel!” Evangelism is truly the overflow and outflow of our relationship with God. We cannot help it but to share the message of God’s love with our friends and loved ones. Yet, we know too that this is by no means an easy task. We may face objections, rejection, and ridicule from the very people we care about. This book seeks to address different issues relating to evangelism. We are privileged to learn from many pioneers and practitioners. Their insights and experiences, sharpened and honed by their commitment to the Great Commission and their faithful ministry of spreading the Good News, will empower, equip, and enable us to be winsome, authentic and caring witnesses for Jesus.”

Verwer, George. Lukewarm no more: for hearers who want to be doers [266 VER]. 3 CDs

“Too often we settle for mediocrity when we really should be on fire for Jesus. In Revelation 3, God promises that He will ‘spit out’ those ‘lukewarm’ churchgoers, but he rewards those who are ‘hot!’ In this special tape series, George Verwer will ignite or re-ignite your passion for Christ as he recalls the early days of Operation Mobilization. With unbridled fervor, he shares anecdotes and war stories from today’s mission field. And he gives a far reaching vision for the next generation of missionaries. In his uninhibited style, George exposes the crisis in the 10/40
