About this listen
Discover the God of the Bible and find meaning in life with Michael O. Borthwick's A Mechanic's Handbook to the God of the Bible. A compelling guide to the complexities of God, making Biblical truths understandable through the use of scripture, personal testimony, and analogies. If you are a believer or a nonbeliever this book has something for you. There are thought-provoking insights, compelling arguments using biblical evidence for the seeker of truth, practical tips to navigate life's challenges, and teachings on God’s forgiveness, purpose, and peace for life.
The author takes his love of mechanics and applies it to the way he wrote his book. Mechanical thought is systematically laid out in design and function, as God’s word is systematically laid out in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. A Mechanic's Handbook to the God of the Bible gives a clear view that God’s plan’s are not haphazard, but are purposefully being fulfilled—also addressing the consequences for those who accept God’s plan for salvation and those who don’t.
As the Bible doesn’t edit out the failures of it saints, the author didn’t edit out his failures, making the book relatable for all those who have missed the mark. His journey is anything but boring, and the subject matter covers not only who God is and his love for us, but covers a wide spectrum of personal experiences, struggles, and reflections, which may be a comfort for those navigating similar trials.
Quote: "As the Bible doesn’t edit out the failures of its saints, I didn’t edit out my failures either. For I want all people, especially the broken ones, to be able to identify with some part of my story and to see that God’s love is for everyone who will receive it. I also hope that I have shown from the Bible who God and Jesus Christ are, and in the process, answered some of the questions or concerns people have discussed with me over the years."

There are far too many Christians who are walking around dejected, depressed, hopeless, powerless, and in bondage to the flesh. Yet this is not what the Christian life is or should be. Though we will experience difficulties, in the midst of these things we are not powerless and without hope. The most powerful thing we can do in our lives is pray. Join Pastor Carter in this book as he looks at the lesson Jesus gives us in Mark 9 - along with some of his own personal experiences and testimonies - and how it relates to us, our walk with God, and our impact on the world.

How You Can Be Sure You Will Spend Eternity with God - it’s a big promise, but this short book delivers. It answers a host of questions, such as: Will good deeds help me get into heaven? Who goes to heaven and who doesn’t? What role do I have in my own salvation? Can I lose my salvation if I commit a serious sin? Is it wrong to doubt my salvation, and what should I do if I doubt? Dr. Lutzer takes many scriptural teachings and siphons them into clear, cohesive truths.

Good character produces good quality, individually and culturally. In light of the turmoil our society currently faces, this book is critical. In the midst of our busy and often chaotic lives, we sometimes forget the importance of building character qualities. By curating our values, we can rise up and fight against cultural instability, family breakdown, social media ranting, and narcissistic and grandiose personal promotions. Values to be discussed include integrity, excellence, authenticity, compassion, generosity, accountability, kindness, and many more.

More of God is about moving beyond faith. It is about getting more of God and experiencing more of God. Every book in the Bible, especially the books of the New Testament, is written for this purpose. Take the letters; those who are addressed were already saved. But the writers wanted their hearers to experience not just more knowledge about God but more of God. Everything in this book is designed to make you hungry. As you listen, keep in mind that the ever increasing hunger for more of God is from God.

In this fresh, new look at God's presence Kendall explores everything from the omnipresence of God to the tangible manifestation of His presence. You will discover why God might at times withhold a sense of His presence while at other times you might experience an acute sense of awe or reverence of God that drives you to your knees in prayer, leads you into spontaneous worship of Him, or brings about healing and other miracles.

Many today are struggling to control their behaviors and actions because they don't have control over their emotions and feelings. They don't have control over their emotions and feelings because they don't have control over their thoughts. And they don't have control over their thoughts because they are not controlling what they believe.

Pause for a moment and ask yourself what your life would be like if it were completely without fear? If you did not fear death. If you did not fear life and what it might bring. If you did not fear any man, or woman, or any living creature. Would you live differently? In this unique work of never-before-published teaching, Dallas Willard revolutionizes our understanding of Psalm 23 by taking this comfortably familiar passage and revealing its extraordinary promises: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.... I will fear no evil."

Kevin Myers, the founding pastor of 12Stone Church, a congregation of more than 30,000 active attenders near Atlanta, believes the reason we don't experience a transformed life is that we fail to grow up spiritually. We focus on developing physically, intellectually, emotionally, and financially, yet our faith remains immature and anemic. In this powerful new book, Myers offers a deep yet simple roadmap to a grown-up faith through understanding the whole context of the Bible, developing spiritual intimacy with God, and gratefully embracing holy obedience.

Christians today face a dilemma: In a world that seems to reject everything we believe, how do we walk closely with God without caving to pressure or alienating those we hope to reach? In this eye-opening new book, Chris Hodges provides a solution by examining the life of the prophet Daniel, who persevered in a corrupt culture that closely resembles our own — and emerged as an influential force in God’s redemptive plan.
