Summer is a great time to sit and relax with a new book. Here at GFP, we’ve been reading through some great books that are both old and new. Here are some of our books that we have on the go:
Upgrade: From Adequacy to Abundance
In Upgrade, Michael Catt outlines the behaviors and mindsets of immature faith and explains how God equips and empowers us to enjoy the Christ-filled life promised to us in the Epistles.
Catt challenges us to accept the “upgrade” offered in Scripture to all Christians-not just an elite few-through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Don’t miss out on God’s best! “You can settle for mediocrity, trying to muddle through on your own strength, or you can claim your upgrade and start living up to your potential in Christ,” Catt writes, “The choice is yours.
“In order to learn what it means to be a woman, we must start with the One who made her.”
The author combines her observations and experiences in a number of essays on male-female relationships. In these days of conflicting demands and cultural pressures, what kind of woman do you wish to be? How should you respond? What should you think? Elisabeth Elliot is one of Christiandom’s most able and articulate writers. In this profound and moving book she presents her unique perspective. Now married a third time after losing two husbands through death, she offers golden insights which apply to the single, the married, and the widowed.These notes on womanhood, written to her daughter Valerie a few weeks before Val’s marriage, are a gift of lasting worth for all Christian women.
They Found the Secret: Twenty Lives That Reveal A Touch Of Eternity
In They Found the Secret, Raymond Edman presents the lives of twenty well-known and little-known Christians. “The details of their experience of the crisis of the deeper life are delightfully different,” Edman writes, “yet their testimony to the reality of the joy and power of the Spirit-filled life is unanimous . . . It is [the Lord] who satisfies the longing soul. He is the secret of the exchanged life!”
Thrilling missionary stories of the Lord’s care for those he tenderly calls “His own” … could be described by the words of Paul to the Corinthians: “as unknown and yet well known.” Many have left all that is familiar to take the gospel to places where Christ’s name has not been heard. The full story is yet to be told when “the Day shall declare it.”
“… worth the price of the book for the Arthur Gook chapter alone.” – Chris Cairns, Manager of Gospel Folio Press
Ahn E. Sook stood alone among thousands of kneeling people. Her bold defiance of the tyrannical demand to bow to pagan Japanese shrines condemned her to a living death in the filth and degradation of a Japanese prison. This brave woman remained faithful to Christ in the face of brutality, oppression, and ruthlessness of her captors. The story of how she won many of her fellow prisoners to Christ in the most deplorable conditions is an inspiration to all.
Poland was a country filled with beauty until the Nazis arrived in 1939.
This is the gripping, true story of two worlds that collided during World War II and the courage of a young Polish woman who fought in the Polish Home Army in Warsaw.
For Jewish people, it was the worst of times. Their world and that of the whole of Europe was being torn apart by a man who seemed to be a harbinger of the biblical, future Antichrist. For Christians, it was a time that tested their faith under horrendous circumstances.
In the midst of this raging fire stood Halina. Her story of personal trust in Christ, her triumph over evil and despair, and her sensitivity to those who suffered under the Third Reich remind us it is always right to fight wickedness and that God never abandons us.
