How could God allow this to happen to me? I'm angry with him, but I don't know if I am "supposed" to be angry! Is it okay to be angry with God? If we are angry, should we hold it inside, or voice our feelings outright? Jones writes that we should not take a "grin and bear it" approach to our anger, nor should we rashly vent our emotions to God. Instead, we need to humbly bring him our struggles, doubts, and questions. We must learn to be transparent in God's presence, think biblically, and act obediently.

God never intended for Christians to live in isolation, sealed inside our own private, stained-glass bubbles. To accomplish, as one part of a tightly knit organism, that which you could never hope to alone. That's the body dynamic--the church of Jesus Christ in action. MacArthur answers questions such as: What unique position, purpose, and privileges are yours as a functioning part of the Body? What are "spiritual gifts"? How do they work in the real world? How can you know yours and use yours to best support the Body? Where does the Body find its power, and how can you tap into it? Encouraging ,insightful, and thoroughly applicable, The Body Dynamic marks the path toward a stronger, unified, love-filled, world-transforming church.

We want God's blessing but not God. Americans have systematically pushed Him out of their lives--rejecting biblical morality, ignoring His Word, and looking to the entertainment industry as the new oracle. Abortion, homosexuality, drug abuse, divorce, and pornography are rampant. Even the church often imitates the world's fashinons at the expense of biblical truth. Given these evidences of moral bankruptcy, can God bless America? MacArthur is convinced God can bless America, but there are several clear biblical conditions that must be met.

Is God unfair? Is God silent? Is God hidden? These 3 questions are asked with piercing honesty and Biblical certaity. If God desires our love why does He sometimes put obstacles in the way? Why does He seem so distant? What can we expect from Him after all? No part of the Bible goes unstudied in the author's search for God's hidden nature in this compelling and profound book. Disappointment with God has had an overwhelming impact on many lives--it can change yours. Chuck Swindoll says "Few are better than Yancey in providing answers that can soothe a faith that's almost been shattered."

Sally, a Christian, laments having an abortion years ago. "I know the Lord has forgiven me, but I just can't forgive myself." What would you say to her? Maybe you yourself have struggled with "self-forgiveness", and wonder how to deal with feelings of guilt. Why is self-forgiveness such an attractive notion? What, if anything, does the Bible say about it? Robert Jones identifies five possible assumptions behind the longing for self-forgiveness. In the process, he pinpoints a deeper problem--and a deeper solution to ongoing guilt. By dispelling a number of misconceptions, Jones clears the path to a joyful realization of complete forgiveness in Christ.

Describing unconditional love as detached "blanket acceptance" and "benign affirmation," David Powlison challenges our common assumption about the nature of God's love. Although wonderfully accepting, divine love is also intrusive, intimate, personal, and active. Instead of simply loving us as we are , God loves us enough to change us. Powlison acknowledges four underlying truths of unconditional love, offers biblical improvements on the idea, and urges us to see God's love for what it really is--better than unconditional.

No matter what the circumstances, death shakes us to the core. It seems so wrong - and it is! We long for comfort, but we don't know where to find it in the Bible. What help does God offer in our grief? With compassion and biblical wisdom, Paul Tripp show us how to think and what to do when death enters our door. He reminds us that God often brings the most wonderful things out of the darkest experiences, just as he did at the cross. Christians have the most reason to grieve -- and the most reason to hope. We have a Savior who knows our cries, and a promise that one day all tears will be wiped away. These reasons lead us to hope even as we grieve.

What choice should I make? How do I know that my decision will fit with God's plan for me? "We tend to think that while God has a 'best' plan for our life, he also has 'cheaper' plans for people who miss the best," writes Petty. "But for those who are in Christ, there is only one plan." Petty explains that God's plan and our actons work in concert. With all the decisions we face and despite the mistakes we make, God works in all things for the good, transforming us into the image of Christ (Rom 8:28). How comforting to know that our choices fulfill that plan in every detail.

Homosexuality is the hot issue of the day," says Edward T. Welch. "Even more than abortion, it will confront the church throughout this generation, forcing us to listen, study, and respond wisely." How can we answer claims that the Bible does not prohibit committed homosexual relationships? Or that science proves that homosexuality is genetic, not a chosen lifestyle? Welch supplies us with timely biblical and biological insight into homosexuality. Just as importantly, he calls us to examine our attitudes in order to minister to homosexuals truthfully, compassionatelyo, humbly, and persuasively.
