"Are you weary? Does the Christian life feel like drudgery? What can lift you up, cure your cold and flattened heart, and fill you with deep and lasting joy?
The reality is that we will only be as full as the well we drink from, and many of us drink from very shallow wells indeed. This book is an invitation to every thirsty Christian, however weary and flat you are feeling, however weak and unworthy you consider yourself, to come to the waters and drink deeply.
You will do this as you contemplate the sight, the vision, that transforms from glory to glory."
"Das Wort 'evangelikal' wird oft unzureichend definiert und ist mit manchem Ballast beladen. So stellen sich einige sogar die Frage, ob sie diese Bezeichnung nicht ganz aufgeben sollten. Michael Reeves argumentiert anhand der Bibel und der Kirchengeschichte, dass es nicht notwendig ist, das Wort zu verwerfen. Christen müssen jedoch zu den Wurzeln des Begriffs – zum euangélion, dem Evangelium – zurückkehren und verstehen, was er tatsächlich bedeutet. Reeves stellt darum die Theologie des Evangelikalismus und seine wesentlichen Lehren dar: die Offenbarung des Vaters in der Bibel, die Erlösung des Sohnes im Evangelium und die Erneuerung des Herzens durch den Heiligen Geist. Dabei ruft er die Gläubigen dazu auf, mit Integrität als Menschen des Evangeliums zu leben."
""I want to cast a vision for preaching that is nourished by the very being of God, the glory of his Word, and the power of the gospel," writes Michael Reeves.
Preachers are ambassadors of Christ and heralds of God, holding out Jesus so that their listeners trust, worship, and adore him.
This is a high calling, and for that we need a clear vision and great encouragement. Let this book lift your perspective and fire you up to preach with holy boldness and joy. The spiritual darkness of our day can indeed be turned back."
"Sadly, most of us struggle to set aside time to pray. But, fear not, this is not another book that will pile on the guilt, simply saying pray better and more often. Instead, Michael Reeves shows us not only why prayer is so essential, but also how we can enjoy it too.
Taking his cue from Calvin's definition that prayer is 'the chief exercise of faith,' Reeves helps us understand that prayer should be a natural expression of our faith. Just as faith is awakened as we grasp the wonders of the gospel, so prayer follows as our hearts respond to these glorious truths."
"Wie können wir mit Gott ins Reine kommen? Warmherzig und klar zeigt Michael Reeves auf, was die Bibel über die Rechtfertigung durch den Glauben allein lehrt. Für all jene, die Christus noch nicht kennen oder die an ihrer Errettung zweifeln, hält die Bibel eine gute Nachricht bereit, die Trost und Freude schenkt."
"Den meisten von uns fällt es schwer, sich Zeit zum Beten zu nehmen. Doch keine Sorge: Dieses Buch ist keines von der Sorte, die deine Schuldgefühle vergrößert – es fordert dich nicht auf, mehr und besser zu beten. Nein, Michael Reeves zeigt, weshalb Gebet so wichtig ist, aber auch, wie wir Freude daran haben können."
"La crainte est l'une des émotions humaines les plus fortes, et souvent l'une des plus mal comprises par les chrétiens. Dans la Bible, cette émotion peut sembler tout aussi déconcertante : la crainte est-elle une bonne ou une mauvaise chose ? Et que signifie « craindre l'Éternel » ? Dans Réjouissez-vous et tremblez, Michael Reeves lève le voile sur ce sujet en montrant que la crainte de l'Éternel n'est pas du tout une chose négative, mais plutôt un sentiment d'émerveillement intense devant Dieu, notre Créateur et Rédempteur. Disponible également en version courte : Qu'est-ce que la crainte du Seigneur ?"
"In This Follow-Up to Gospel People, Michael Reeves Calls Evangelicals Away from Pharisaism to True Reformation
Scripture warns believers of hypocrisy—called the 'leaven of the Pharisees'—and its potential to spread quickly in the church. Outwardly appearing as devout religion, this legalism hides destructive pride, idolatry, and even apostasy. Unfortunately, pharisaism is still a problem among evangelicals today. How does Jesus instruct the church to recognize and defeat one of its deepest theological issues?
In this clear, compelling call to spiritual reformation, Michael Reeves helps believers reject pharisaism and embrace gospel integrity. Studying 3 essentials of Christian doctrine that the Pharisees misunderstood—their approach to Scripture, understanding of salvation, and disregard of regeneration—Reeves shows readers how to embrace a biblical, Trinitarian, and creedal understanding of the gospel necessary for true reformation.

"Why Missions and Evangelism Are an Overflow of Delighting in God
Evangelism and missions are parts of the Christian life often accompanied by fears, insecurities, and cultural pressures. In this addition to the Union series, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves argue that an individual's relationship with God influences their evangelism and missions more than anything else. Scripture clearly shows that a believer's responsibility is to make God known in the world, but this cannot be done without first knowing and enjoying God.
To illustrate how knowledge of God influences evangelism and missions, Hames and Reeves address biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope. There is hope for those who find these topics intimidating—when believers focus on the glory of the lamb of God, the gospel will shine through them.

"How the Church's Mission and Knowledge of God Are Intertwined
Many Christians know they should be passionate about evangelism, but in reality they often find it daunting. In this concise version of God Shines Forth, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves urge Christians to grow in their knowledge and enjoyment of God—as they know God more, they will be spurred on to authentic service through missions and evangelism. To illustrate how the nature of God influences evangelism and missions, Hames and Reeves address biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope. They invite readers to look to Jesus as the glory of God in the world, which is the Christian's ultimate motivation to share the love of God with others.

"How do we become right with God? Michael Reeves warmly and clearly introduces what the Bible teaches about justification by faith alone. For anyone who does not know Christ or is lacking confidence in their salvation, the Bible has good news of comfort and joy."
"Angst ist wahrscheinlich die stärkste menschliche Emotion – aber auch eine, die uns vor ein Rätsel stellt. Ist Angst in der Bibel nun etwas Gutes oder etwas Schlechtes? Und was bedeutet es, 'den Herrn zu fürchten'? Michael Reeves lichtet die Wolken der Verwirrung und zeigt, dass Gottesfurcht nichts Negatives ist, sondern ein freudiges Staunen über den herrlichen Gott, unseren Schöpfer und Erlöser."
