O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
Edited by Nancy Guthrie

Contributions by: John Piper, Randy Alcorn, Timothy Keller, Joni Eareckson Tada, J. I. Packer, Michael S. Horton, R. C. Sproul, John Calvin, Martin Luther, Jonathan Edwards, John Owen, B. B. Warfield, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Charles H. Spurgeon, Joseph Bayly, Richard Baxter, Abraham Kuyper, Richard Sibbes, R. L. Dabney, Jeremy Taylor, Thomas Boston, John Eaves

For many modern-day Christians, death has become what J. I. Packer terms “the great unmentionable.” This attitude denies not only the reality of the human condition, but also the reality of God’s promises for believers beyond this life. The church needs to think more about death in the light of the gospel.

This compilation, edited by Nancy Guthrie, includes the writings of twenty-two classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers on how to prepare to die in faith. The short meditations are drawn from sermons, books, and other writings of classic theologians such as Jonathan Edwards and John Calvin, and of leading contemporary communicators such as John Piper, Tim Keller, J. I. Packer, and others. The writers provide a solidly scriptural and countercultural way to view the inevitability of death, explaining how and why believers can face physical death with hope, joy, and confidence in God’s promises for the life to come.

Game Plan for Life: A Champion's Guide to a Successful Life
By Joe Gibbs

In the spring of ‘08 Coach Gibbs commissioned a national public opinion research firm to survey men. He wanted to know what areas men were most concerned about in their lives—if they could master these areas they’d live a truly successful and relevant life. He discovered there were eleven key issues that men age 20 and older struggle with: the Bible, God, creation, sin and addiction, salvation, relationships, finances, career, health, life of purpose, and heaven.

Joe drafted a team of men to specifically address each area, focusing primarily on what the Bible says about these issues. He called Randy Alcorn, asking if he would write about Heaven. The rest of the team ended up being Chuck Colson, Josh McDowell, Ken Boa, John Lennox, Don Meredith, Ron Blue, Os Guinness, Walt Larimore, and Tony Evans. Joe got Tony Dungy to write the foreword and Jerry Jenkins to be the editor.

Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus: Experiencing the Peace and Promise of Christmas 
Edited by Nancy Guthrie

Between purchasing presents and planning travel, enjoying holiday pageants and attending parties, it is all too easy for the bustle of Christmas to silence the sacredness and crowd out a quiet anticipation of the season’s truths.

Stand: A Call for the Endurance of the Saints 
John Piper, Justin Taylor, General Editors

The modern answer for bettering your life is usually “Move on.” If your marriage struggles, if your church flounders, if your boss annoys you, if people oppose you, then leave. Make a change. Head for greener pastures.

But God’s Word holds up a different standard—a beautiful value that, while difficult, leads to deep satisfaction and great reward: endurance.

Such long, steady, hold-the-course perseverance is especially needed within our vacillating generation. This thoughtful book thus not only elevates the virtue of faithful, godly endurance but bears witness to its daily power in the Christian life through the experiences of John Piper—who provides the context and perspective for the entire book—and four other devoted Christ-followers who each represent a different kind of endurance:

• from John MacArthur’s longtime, faithful shepherding of a church … to Randy Alcorn’s radical obedience in the cause of life;
• from Jerry Bridges’s unswerving pursuit of holiness …  to Helen Roseveare’s courageous constancy on the war-torn mission field.

If you are weary in your faith journey, Stand will awaken and solidify rugged, Christ-exalting endurance within you. And if you dream of a Christian culture-shift from brief trial runs to lifelong commitments, John Piper and Justin Taylor’s latest offering can serve to seal that vision in your mind and heart.
