Have No Fear: Being Salt and Light Even When It's Costly

Christians are under increasing pressure to be silent. We're led to believe that, at best, our beliefs are outdated, and at worst they are dangerous. Silenced by fear, it's all too easy to keep quiet. But our Christian faith was never meant to be private. Jesus' followers are instructed to be deliberately and willingly different, seeking to share the life-changing good news they've heard with everyone, whatever the cost. We might feel that we fall very short of this confident evangelistic lifestyle, but John Lennox shows us that any one of us can become an effective gospel witness. Using examples from the Bible and from his own life, John explains practically how we can winsomely share Jesus with our friends, despite our fears. He argues that it is possible to stand up to the pressure society places on us, and in so doing we ll find our Christian life grows in strength and joy

A Good Return: Biblical Principles for Work, Wealth and Wisdom

Can work be worship? A Good Return does not provide maxims to get you through the day. Instead, it is an audiobook that encourages Christians to view their workspace as an avenue of worship. The world of work is expanding. New technologies, industries and means of communication, have presided in the transition of the workplace into a fast, digital and busier-than-ever era. With increasing demands and declining rewards, in whichever sector you care to name, work can become all-consuming, overwhelming, burdensome, dissatisfying, and more. It becomes easy to complain, drag one's feet while getting out of the door, and face daily tasks with an apathetic attitude. When battling external pressures and internal conflicts, the workplace is a challenging environment. We need equipped to tackle so many aspects of working life: - Salaries - Wealth - Time management - Motivation - Rest and Sabbath - The secular sacred divide - Eternal rewards - Our digital technological era - Gospel support How should the Christian navigate these areas? John C. Lennox has crafted an audiobook with thoughtful, biblical and evangelical deliberation on our behaviour in, and towards, our work. With his trademark clarity, faithfulness and wisdom, Lennox invites us into a wider discussion on Christian approaches to lots of areas of working life.

Joseph: A Story of Love, Hate, Slavery, Power, and Forgiveness

The life of Joseph detailed in the book of Genesis is a story of love, hate, slavery, power, and forgiveness. Although written thousands of years ago, it has a timeless quality that still probes the depths of the human experience. In this thoughtful and devotional book, scholar John Lennox emphasizes the major themes present in Joseph's story-such as suffering, temptation, forgiveness, faith, and God's sovereignty-and applies them to readers at a personal level. This detailed look at Joseph's life in its broader context will invite us into a deeper trust of God in the face of suffering and hardship.

Can Science Explain Everything?

An inspiring new perspective on the science versus religion debate. Can science explain everything? Many people think so. Science, and the technologies it has spawned, has delivered so much to the world: clean water; more food; better healthcare; longer life. And we live in a time of rapid scientific progress that holds enormous promise for many of the problems we face as humankind. So much so, in fact, that many see no need or use for religion and belief systems that offer us answers to the mysteries of our universe. Science has explained it, they assume. Science and religion just do not mix. Oxford Maths Professor and Christian believer Prof. John Lennox offers a fresh way of thinking about science and Christianity that dispels the common misconceptions about both. He reveals that not only are they not opposed, but they can and must mix to give us a fuller understanding of the universe and the meaning of our existence.
