"With parents running children from football to music lessons to math tutoring, where does the responsibility of God-ordained parenting fit in?
In this wisdom-packed booklet, Alistair Begg explains that Scripture lays out a role for parents that extends far beyond that of carpool driver and homework helper. Drawing from the book of Ephesians, Alistair provides clear and practical accountabilities for both mothers and fathers that are God ordained. When God's design for parenting is followed, everyone in the family thrives, and children grow to healthy-minded, God-honoring adults."
"Die vielen Bücher zum Thema Gebet sind ein Indikator dafür, dass es Christen Schwierigkeiten bereitet, zu beten. Und wenn wir beten, wissen wir oft nicht, was wir sagen sollen. Worauf soll ich mich konzentrieren, wenn ich für meine Familie, meine Gemeinde und mich selbst bete?
Alistair Begg untersucht in »Mutiger beten« warmherzig, klar, humorvoll und lebensnah die Gebete von Paulus für die Gemeinde in Ephesus. Paulus betete mit Freude und Begeisterung. Er erwartete von Gott, dass er ihn hört und im Leben anderer Menschen entsprechend handelt.
Die Wahrheiten, auf denen seine Gebete gründen, werden dich zum Beten motivieren und dir ein Muster bieten, an dem du dich orientieren kannst. Lass dich von Paulus inspirieren, mutiger zu beten – im Aufblick auf deinen himmlischen Vater, der über alles hinaus tun kann, was du bittest und verstehst."
"So many of us struggle with prayer. Many books have been written on the subject and there’s a reason for that. Prayer comes hard to most of us, in most seasons. And when we do pray, we often don't know what to say. What is it that my Father loves to hear about? What are the best things I could pray for my family, my church, and myself?
This short book by renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg combines warmth, clarity, humour, and practicality as he examines Paul’s prayers for his friends in the church in Ephesus.
Paul clearly enjoyed prayer, and was excited about it. He expected his Father in heaven to hear what he said, and to act in other people’s lives accordingly. The truths that underpin and shape his prayers will motivate us to pray and set us an example.
So be inspired by the Apostle Paul to pray bigger and better prayers as we look to our heavenly Father to do more than all we ask or imagine!"
"Jesus Christ has been given the name above all names, the highest seat of honor, the right to reign and rule. Yet the busyness of our lives and the diversions of this world often distract us from knowing the most important person we could ever know. Perhaps we need some help to see Jesus afresh.
In this thoughtful study and worshipful reflection, two influential pastors draw on decades of pastoral experience in order to guide us through the whole sweep of Scripture and examine seven key qualities of Jesus's identity and ministry:
- Jesus as the True Prophet
- Jesus as the Great High Priest
- Jesus as the Conquering King
- Jesus as the Seed of the Woman
- Jesus as the Son of Man
- Jesus as the Suffering Servant
- Jesus as the Lamb on the ThroneName above All Names helps us to see and meditate on the incomparable character of Christ—a spiritual exercise that enables us to readily respond to the exhortations of Scripture, to focus our gaze upon the King of kings, and to better understand just how great Jesus really is."
"Learn from the book of Daniel how to live confidently for Christ today.
What does it look like to live with joy in a society that does not like what Christians believe, say or do? It's tempting to grow angry, keep our heads down, retreat or just give up altogether.
But this isn't the first time that God's people have had to learn how to live in a pagan world that opposes God's rule. In this realistic yet positive book, renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg examines the first seven chapters of Daniel to show us how to live bravely, confidently and obediently in an increasingly secular society.
Readers will see that God is powerful and God is sovereign, and even in the face of circumstances that appear to be prevailing against his people, we may trust him entirely.
We can be as brave as Daniel if we have faith in Daniel's God!
"The message of Daniel is incredibly relevant for us in our generation. Not because it maps out a strategy for how to deal with our new lack of status ... or because Daniel was a great man and we need to follow his example. The reason is that it will help us to believe in Daniel's God." Alistair Begg, author."
"Muchos de nosotros luchamos con la oración. Se han escrito muchos libros sobre el tema y con razón. La oración es difícil para la mayoría de nosotros, en la mayoría de las situaciones. Y cuando oramos, a menudo no sabemos qué decir. ¿Qué es lo que mi Padre en el cielo ama escuchar? ¿Cuáles son las mejores cosas que podría orar por mi familia, mi iglesia y para mí mismo?
Este breve libro del reconocido maestro bíblico Alistair Begg combina calidez, claridad, humor y practicidad mientras examina las oraciones de Pablo por sus amigos en la iglesia de Éfeso.
Pablo claramente disfrutaba la oración, y le emocionaba. Esperaba que su Padre en el cielo escuchara lo que decía y actuara en consecuencia en la vida de otras personas. Las verdades que apuntalan y dan forma a sus oraciones nos motivarán a orar y nos darán un ejemplo.
¡Así que inspírate en el apóstol Pablo para hacer oraciones más grandes y mejores mientras esperas que nuestro Padre celestial haga ¡más de lo que pedimos o imaginamos!

"Are we hapless victims of life's whims? Are we driven along by some blind and impersonal force? Are we battered by circumstances beyond all control?A thousand times, 'No!' says pastor and author Alistair Begg. Instead, Begg says we are the objects of God's providential care. We reside under His guiding and protecting hand.In this richly textured study of Joseph's life, readers will see God at work shaping Joseph's circumstances so that he can ultimately redeem and reconcile his family. And they'll see the hand of God in their own lives, lovingly guiding them through their disappointments and struggles to a place of peace.It's an amazing and comforting fact: God rules and overrules in the circumstances of life.God's authority is neither capricious nor vindictive—quite the contrary—God works through the circumstances of life to bring about something miraculous, something abundantly good, even out of what we perceive to be our darkest moments. We can entrust the baggage of our past, the fears of our present, and the prospects of our future to the God who cares."

Alistair Begg takes us to four songs that were sung by people at the very first Christmas (and his favorite carol).In this short, winsome book a teenage girl, a respected priest, a group of angels and an old man bring readers to the heart of Christmas, showing them the joy and peace that comes from meeting a baby who lay in the food trough and changed eternity."
"Prayer is foundational to the Christian life, but many people don’t really understand it. What is it for? How does it work? Why do we do it? This short and accessible book explains what prayer is, why it exists, and how it can encourage us in our life of faith. Written by a pastor with years of teaching and counseling experience, Why We Pray doesn’t simply tell readers why they should pray, but instead focuses on four blessing-filled reasons that will help Christians want to pray. Rather than feeling discouraged and disheartened by their inconsistency in prayer, readers will feel reinvigorated to approach God with confidence and joy, delighted by the privilege of talking directly to their loving heavenly Father."
