it’s the lord’s doing - christian books

Extract from It’s the Lord’s doing!

It’s the Lord’s doing by the author John Mollitt is selling well, especially in his community! Read some of his experiences during his pastoral ministry!

After full-time education, John worked in banking and civil service and then, for thirty years, was the pastor of Ingleton Evangelical Church. He then went onto preach the gospel throughout the north of England. John has now been appointed as an elder at Tinshill Free Church in Leeds.

Indeed, his growth in grace, his understanding of Christian doctrine and his love for people convinced me that the Lord would open up even more fruitful avenues of service to Geoff in the future. I was, therefore, quite unprepared for the shock I was to receive in 2011, just two years after I had retired from the pastorate.

….When Geoff did not appear on the Tuesday morning, his tent was entered and it was discovered that he had died in the night. Medical investigations proved inconclusive but it was assumed some heart defect was the cause of death.

Later that week, I was invited to visit Whinfell School where Geoff had worked and I was met by his colleagues, still stunned by recent events. It was obvious the esteem in which Geoff was held and I was able to share with them the difference that Jesus had made to him….I was able also to tell them of the Christian hope that though ‘absent from the body’, Geoff was now present with the Lord. It was a moving occasion but I trust a useful visit.”

Review on Straightforward Christianity

Straightforward Christianity by the author Nigel Scotland.

This second edition of the short book, is written for anyone who wants to know what benefits following Jesus can bring to our lives.

It has gotten great reviews from the British Church Newspaper already, saying,

“…The style is informal… It seeks to introduce Christianity in modern terms to the modern mind…

Dr Scotland starts with Christ’s universal appeal. There follows Christ the teacher emphasising various aspects and culminating in His teaching about Himself and Saviour. We have testimonies to how Christ changed people, the love of Christ the New Birth and the changing qualities that follow…

The books deals at length with Christian qualities. The modern mind is more concerned with morality than theology and the author rightly meets the modern mind at this point, emphasising personal virtues.

‘…we have one who sustains us in our present suffering and destines us for a future without it’.

Death is handled with equal sensitivity and the opportunity taken to show the evidence for Christ’s resurrection and the promise of similar resurrection for the Lord’s people enabling them to come to terms with death…..

The book concludes with the response to faith, the importance of knowing Christ through study of the Scriptures, of prayer, of Christian fellowship and the church….

This is an excellent book which would interest non-Christian, instruct a new Christian or encourage a more experienced one. It would make a useful gift.”

the plans i have for you - christian books

The Plans I Have For You

Alan Batchelor has just published this must read book ‘The Plans I Have For You’.

It draws from talks that he has given at his local church, sermons which Alan reworked as studies from the word of God that can be read, rather than merely listened to. The subject matter covers a range of topics from both Old and the New Testament, but the message of God’s Love and His Grace shines through it all. It is an unchanging message, as God is unchanging and it is a message that men and women today need to hear in a world that is uncertain and often, to many, frightening.

 

Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, I have a degree in languages from Dublin University, Trinity College. I have had no formal training in the art of preaching, although many years at my place of work, the King’s School in Macclesfield, where I had responsibility for organising and frequently delivering the morning assembly, has given me a unique experience in communication to a wide range of listeners.

It has been an enormous privilege, a challenge and a responsibility to be asked to preach from time to time at my local church, Tytherington Family Worship Church in Macclesfield, and previously at the Good News Church in the same town. Both of these Church Fellowships hold the Word of God dear to their hearts and my sermons, I trust, reflect that. Perhaps they might more accurately be described as studies in the word God, since they do not often follow the usual sermon pattern of “say what you are going to say, say it with points beginning with the same letter, and then say what you have said.” – Written by Alan Batchelor
