Following Christ
Do you want your life to count for Christ? Would you like to make a real impact for God's kingdom in this world? You can -- and you don't have to be a great leader for it to happen. Just a good follower. In Following Christ, Joseph Stowell shows why Christ's command to "Follow me" isn't merely the starting point of Christianity. It's the very heartbeat of vibrant, effective faith. And it's not just for a few gifted leaders, but for all believers. Stowell shows you what happens when an ordinary man or woman pursues not the trappings of Christianity, but Christ himself. You'll discover - What a "non-negotiated follower" looks like - Why God does his best work through followers - Why self-directed living is a recipe for emptiness - What makes Christ so worth following - What it means to pick up your cross - Why a close walk with Jesus is the key to effective living -- Following Christ paints a compelling portrait of Christianity the way God intended it, marked by simplicity, vigorous faith, purpose and direction, soul-winning impact on others . . . and above all, a joyous, growing closeness with Christ.
Strength for the Journey
Spiritual nourishment for the day-to-day journey. The Christian life is a journey filled with mountaintops and valleys. As the Christian experiences the ups and downs of this walk, a common prayer is 'Lord, give me strength.' Joseph Stowell, President of The Moody Bible Institute, presents this enriching devotional overflowing with spiritual challenges, thought-provoking questions, and keen biblical insights. Through six devotionals each week, and a Psalm for the seventh day, the reader's faith will be nourished and his spirit refreshed. As a gentle guide, Dr. Stowell spurs readers on to consistently turn to the Word of God for sustenance on this lifelong pilgrimage.
The Weight of Your Words
Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me? This lie has been taught to children for years. We claim it strengthens them. Allows them to let the harsh words of other children roll off their backs. But the truth is that words have power. Power to encourage. Power to heal. But also power to intimidate, power to scourge, and power to wound.How are you using the power of words? What we say has both spiritual and physical implications. Revelation 21:8 tells us that liars have their place in the Lake of Fire. And we all have seen the devastation wreaked by rumors on innocent reputations. Yet with the same intensity, kind words can soothe a broken spirit and restore shatter...
Perilous Pursuits
Ever since birth we've been told, "we're nobody unless we're number one." But now that we've so dutifully mastered the ability to defend our self-worth, this book shows why we must learn to forget it and redirect search for significance to the one true source of value: Jesus Christ.
The Trouble with Jesus
Our pluralistic society accepts all... all except Jesus. Joseph Stowell brings to light our need to be undaunted advocates for Jesus in a world that has no tolerance for Him or His followers. How do you reach those who do not have a churched background, or are openly hostile to the good news of Jesus Christ? Would you miss church to go fishing with your colleague at work? What should or would you do when golfing with three non-believing friends, and they want to play for 'prize money'? Joseph Stowell's style is biblical and insightful, but always within reach of today's reader.
I Would Follow Jesus
As Joseph Stowell steps down after eighteen years of noteworthy service as president of Moody Bible Institute, it is appropriate that Moody Publishers commemorate his time at MBI with his reflections on loving, serving, proclaiming, and becoming more like Jesus. Arranged in sections named after Stowell's favorite hymns, the beautifully bound, keepsake book will be a treasure for years to come. The book includes tributes from Christian leaders such as Billy Graham, John Maxwell, Max Lucado, Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Tony Evans, John Piper, Chuck Swindoll and John MacArthur.
Loving Christ
In his retelling of a marvelous story from Luke, Stowell probes the essence of what it means to love Christ, first making readers feel more deeply and then spurring them to action in real life. In "Loving Christ", the contrast between two followers in Luke forces readers to face the reality of whether they are more like the loving woman or the standoffish Simon the Pharisee.
Far from Home
Live out a 'radical reliance' on God.When it is forgotten that God belongs at the center of all we do, Christianity becomes a task maintained by responsibilities and requirements. God becomes a distant figure in our lives. Joseph Stowell has written Far From Home to help readers regain a sense of intimacy and reliance upon the God of the universe.
The Upside of Down
Life is filled with stomach-wrenching drops, dips, and sudden curves, but there is an upside to being down: God, who works in and through Christians' troubles and never abandons them to disaster. This book is about learning to trust in God's work and provision as the divine superstructure underneath every trial.
Radical Reliance
God alone can sustain and satisfy our souls. Do we know this reality? Do we thirst for it? Exploring the biblical background of the answers to these questions, nationally known Bible teacher Joe Stowell shows the way to make these truths real in our daily lives. When God is at the center of our lives 24/7, this is radical reliance -- total trust -- and it's the way God meant it to be. Follow the author on his journey of faith and meet Christ anew. Begin to walk by a deeper faith and enjoy the delight and security of His presence.
