The Apostle John's circular letter in 1 John to Christians everywhere contains over forty things that Christians can know for certain.  In this day and age when there are many questions about the "facts", John says of these things you can be assured.  Bring your Bibles and walk with us through possibly one of the last letters written by John as he approached the end of his life on earth.

The book examines many questions people have about prayer.  Does prayer work?  More personally, does it work the way we think it should?  What can we really expect from prayer?  Does prayer change us or God or both?  If God knows everything, what’s the point of prayer?  Is God listening?  Why should God care about me?  Why do so many prayers go unanswered?  Why does God let the world go on as it does and not intervene?  Does prayer really help with physical healing?  Why does God seem sometimes close and sometimes far away?  How can I make prayer more satisfying?

As Christians, we believe that all sins are considered equal in God's eyes. Yet while evangelicals continue to decry the Big Ones--such as abortion, adultery, and violence--we often overlook more deceptive sins.  It seems we have created a sliding scale where gossip, jealousy, and selfishness comfortably exist within the church. In short, some sins have simply become acceptable.
Acclaimed author Jerry Bridges believes that just as culture has lost the concept of sin, the church faces the same danger. Jerry writes not from a sense of achievement, but from the trenches of his own personal battles. Drawing from scriptural truth, he sheds light on subtle behaviors that can derail our spiritual growth.
Throughout, Jerry encourages victory over personal sin through the gospel's transforming power. This release is perfect for readers who long to thoughtfully examine their lives and discover a deeper walk with God.
