930075: Take Up the Shield:  Comparing the Uniform of the Police Officer & Armor of God Take Up the Shield: Comparing the Uniform of the Police Officer & Armor of God

THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK TO READ TO THE CHILDREN. I HAD TO SKIP A FEW SECTIONS WHERE THE COP DESCRIBED HIS LIFE BEFORE CHRIST, BUT IT WENT ON AND EXPOSITED THE ARMOR OF GOD PASSAGE INTERSPERSED WITH LOTS OF EXCITING COP STORIES. WE BOUGHT A STACK OF THESE TO GIVE AWAY TO POLICEMEN THAT WE SEE.

Written by a street cop, this unique publication describes the spiritual armor of Ephesians chapter 6 using a contemporary equivalent - the police uniform - giving readers fresh insight into this well-known passage. The importance of each piece of equipment is driven home through engaging, real-life police stories (responding to the infamous L.A. Riots, the devastating 1994 Northridge earthquake, working in jails, making arrests, etc). The author then gives readers a look into the courtroom of the Judge of all mankind, encouraging them to “take up the shield” of faith by placing their trust in Jesus Christ.

39328: The Pursuit of Holiness The Pursuit of Holiness

By Jerry Bridges / NAV Press

AN EXCELLENT BOOK THAT GOD USED TO MOTIVATE ME UNTO HOLINESS. THIS IS ONE BOOK I HAVE READ AND REREAD.
What does holiness look like? For starters, it doesn’t look anything like perfection. And it doesn’t necessarily look like victory. Mostly, it consists of effort, prayer, grace, and obedience. “Scripture speaks of both a holiness we have in Christ before God, and a holiness we are to strive after,” writes Bridges. We can ignore neither Christ’s role nor our own if we are to successfully pursue holiness. It is as simple as refusing to smudge the truth on a tax return or as complicated as forgiving the person who has most viciously hurt us.

Bridges takes holiness out of the realm of the impossible and brings it into the real world of your daily life and decisions. Whether you’re continuing your pursuit of holiness or just beginning, the principles and guidelines in The Pursuit of Holiness will challenge you to obey God’s command of holiness.

5534: The Biblical View of Self-Esteem The Biblical View of Self-Esteem

By Jay E Adams / Harvest House Publishers

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BOOKS THAT I WAS GLAD THAT SOMEONE ELSE WROTE BECAUSE GOD HAD GIVEN ME THE SAME UNDERSTANDING ABOUT SELF-ESTEEM THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES, BUT I NEVER GOT AROUND TO PUTTING IT IN A BOOK. AN EXCELLENT LOOK COMPARING WHAT THE BIBLES SAYS ABOUT THESE POP PSYCHOLOGY CONCEPTS.
Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? There are familiar questions in our day and age. But has our search for answers led us too far from the true biblical position of self? The last 15 years has seen the rise of a powerful and influential movement within the church. Easily identified by labels such as “self-image”, “self-esteem”, “self-worth”, and “self-love”, this movement has one common denominator–the emphasis on self. Now well-known biblical counselor and noted author Jay Adams brings much-needed clarification to the area of self-esteem and offers the church and every believer a truly biblical view of self.

4414: The Seduction of Christianity The Seduction of Christianity

By Dave Hunt / Harvest House Publishers

THIS IS A CLASSIC WRITTEN A FEW DECADES AGO, BUT ENTIRELY RELEVANT TO TODAY’S CHURCH AND CULTURE. THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST BOOKS THAT GAVE ME COMFORT THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD WHO SAW THE ERRORS OF CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY. THIS EQUIPS THE CHRISTIAN TO DISCERN THE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD AND CHURCH TODAY.
The Apostle Paul wrote of a “deluding influence” that would lead to a widespread apostasy. In this hard-hitting book, Dave Hunt and T.A. McMahon examine dangerous doctrines and practices that are influencing believers. Tearing down the pillars of New Thought, including possibility thinking and holistic medicine, this book shines a spotlight on areas to be watchful for and gives tactics for combatting this prevalent mindset.

660613: Psychology and The Church: Critical Questions, Crucial Answers Psychology and the Church

By Dave Hunt & T.A. McMahon / The Berean Call

A GREAT BOOK DISCUSSING THE NATURE OF WHAT IS CALLED ‘CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY’ AND WHAT ARE ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE BELIEVER AND THE CHURCH AT LARGE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO TEACH YOU WHAT THE DANGERS ARE AND WHAT GOOD IS IN ‘CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY’. THE BOOK AND A COMPANION DVD CAN BE HAD DIRECTLY FROM THE BEREAN CALL HERE.
The purpose of this book is not to attack or condemn evangelicals who are practicing psychotherapists or those who have been helped by what is commonly called  “Christian Psychology.” Rather, this volume acknowledges the value of believers bearing one another’s burdens through prayer, fellowship, and the Word of God.

Simultaneously, this compilation exposes—in a biblically incisive manner—underlying concerns that have plagued the evangelical community as a result of embracing what is tantamount to a counterfeit religious practice woven into the fabric of contemporary Christianity.
