Discover the Heart of God"You were created with an internal void that only God Himself can fill.""The depth of your hunger for God is the length of your reach to Him.""You can be as close to God as you want to be." Are these statements mere clich s? Or do they point to a truth that is so profound it should be the main focus of our life? The mighty God of the universe is also your heavenly Father who loves you deeply. He understands you inside and out, and He desires for you to know Him personally, too. Author James W. Goll joyfully guides you past the clich s and into the spiritual reality of knowing God's heart through an intentional, ongoing relationship with Him. Passionate Pursuit shows you how to open your heart to encounter the living Lord. As your discovery of God unfolds, and your relationship with Him deepens, you will be surprised and delighted to hear His voice, to learn from Him--and to touch His heart. You will be filled with the life of God, and you will always desire to come back for more. In the process, you will gradually be transformed to become like Him and to reflect His image to others.

It's one of the most difficult questions that Christians face, and a problem that keeps many away from faith: why does a good God allow bad things to happen? And how do we keep on trusting him when they do? Having written bestselling books on how to forgive both others and ourselves, much-loved author R. T. Kendall now tackles our need to forgive God for all the times we feel he's let us down. Written with courage, humour and above all kindness, this book is an encouragement to all who've grappled with life's deepest mysteries.

Bestselling Author and Theologian Explores the Life and Ministry of ElijahKnown for his in-depth yet accessible teaching, beloved author R. T. Kendall delves into the life of one of the most famous and most relatable persons in the Old Testament: Elijah. Drawn from a popular sermon series Dr. Kendall preached at Westminster Chapel in London, this discussion taken from 1 and 2 Kings traces the prophet's life and ministry from his first appearance and his confrontation with King Ahab until the time he is taken up to heaven. Kendall shows how even this revered prophet--an ordinary man with many imperfections--was used tremendously by God. A great study for both individuals and groups.

I felt as if I were actually there - on that hill, sitting with the others - as the young teacher was speaking the most radical words our world has ever known.' - Rob Parsons, OBE The Sermon on the Mount is one of history's best-known and most loved teachings. While the words Jesus used are simple, humble and straightforward, the power contained in them will revolutionize your world. Known for his keen insight and biblical understanding, Dr R. T. Kendall offers you the keys to unlocking and applying this matchless sermon. In his accessible, in-depth, verse-by-verse exposition of Matthew 5-7 he brings the words of Jesus to life. Complete with an index for easy reference, this is the definitive, must-have resource on the most famous sermon in the world. 'Dr Kendall writes as he preaches, with conviction and clarity. He is a formidable Bible teacher for whom the Spirit and the word flow seamlessly. This, his masterpiece, is a must-read on the pivotal teaching of the New Testament.' - Ken Costa, Chairman, Alpha International ''The words of the Sermon on the Mount are some of the best known and least understood verses in the Bible. I am delighted that Dr R. T. Kendall, whom I consider to be one of the best Bible teachers in the world, has given us his scholarly, thoughtful, insightful commentary and application - this book and its message are manna for today.'' - Revd Canon J. John "Dr Kendall presents us with a profound, yet eminently readable study. He sweeps aside the confusion that so often surrounds the Sermon on the Mount and exposes the pure teaching of the gospel. A must for everyone who truly desires to follow Christ today." - Colin Dye, Kensington Temple, London

Teachings from the life of Jacob on the theme of 'Letting God love us'.

We live in a world filled with injustice and evil, and there is nobody on the planet who has not suffered. There are famines and wars, earthquakes and tsunamis, wicked governments, racial prejudices, and diseases. We all have been hurt, attacked, mistreated, deceived, or falsely accused. God allows this. He could stop it. After all, He is unlimited in power and knowledge. But God doesn't stop it. Why? In the third title of his series on forgiveness and his most important book to date, R. T. Kendall tackles this question head-on, demonstrating why we need to release God from the blame we put on Him when we feel He has betrayed us.

Too often these days Christianity is seen as just part of our cultural background, rather than a living, breathing faith that sets out to challenge the norms we live by. Here R. T. Kendall brings the scandalous nature of Christianity back to the forefront of our faith, arguing not just that an unscandalous Christianity isn't good for much, but that Christians must welcome that scandal if they are to know God's blessings to the full. R. T. argues that as Christians we must not try to simply fit in alongside our neighbours, but should be willing to stand out - even when that's hard to do. He makes clear that we shouldn't seek out difficulties, but equally shouldn't be shy of standing up for our beliefs, wherever that may take us.

Proven Formula for a Balanced, Effective Christian LifeToo often churches emphasize the Bible without welcoming the work of the Holy Spirit, who inspired the Bible. Or they focus on seeking manifestations of the Spirit while neglecting sound Bible teaching. The result: a schism in their faith lives in which they cut God--and his power--out of Christianity's equation. How can God draw a lost world to his Son through people who are powerless? With over 170 years of diverse ministry experience among them, respected veteran leaders R. T. Kendall, Charles Carrin, and Jack Taylor restore balance to the Christian walk. They show that when the Word is faithfully preached and the Holy Spirit warmly welcomed, the Lord manifests his power, bringing salvation, miracles, healings, heart understanding, and much more. Only when Christians honor the Word and the Spirit can they lead empowered, fruitful lives.

Bringing his insightful and down-to-earth approach to bear on the topic of The Lord's Prayer, R. T. Kendall opens up new depths in this short prayer, exploring the full range of meaning in each line to establish firm principles for all our prayer. Starting from the initial focus on God, through asking for what God wants in our world, then on to our needs, and so finally on to the benediction with which the prayer closes, he unpacks the meaning of each line, brings personal challenges to bear on our own lives, and gives us the reassurance of God's love and care for us.

Isaiah 53 is one of the clearest messianic messages of the Old Testament, and is often quoted in the New Testament as a prophecy of what would happen to Jesus. Going carefully through the chapter verse by verse, Dr Kendall tackles such crucial subjects as: * What makes faith, faith? * How does one recognise God at work? * Who really crucified Jesus? * Is there healing in the atonement? * Why did Jesus die? * What are the results of Jesus' death? * What does the blood of Jesus do for us, and what does the blood of Jesus do for God? This chapter goes right to the heart of the Christian faith.

The Power and Freedom of a Humble Life Pride is often the true reason why we get our feelings hurt, why we feel rejection, why we won't admit to mistakes, why we want to be seen with certain people, and why we "stay" angry. Jesus gives us the perfect example of a powerful life lived without conceit, smugness, or arrogance. So why do we not want to admit to our pride? It is because of our pride In "The Power of Humility," R. T. Kendall challenges us to look deeply into our hearts and motives to recognize the pride and self-righteousness there. Using personal stories and enlightening examples from the Bible, he demonstrates how pride interferes with a close relationship with God and reveals how to overcome pride and become more like Jesus.

Jealousy is something that we all have to deal with - both in ourselves and in others. Rooted in our natural fears and insecurities, it has damaged relationships since the time of Cain and Abel and still does today - if we let it. In this wise and compassionate book, R. T. Kendall tackles, head-on, the sin that no one likes to admit to. He shows that it is only when we grasp that it is God we should aim to please that we will be able to recognise and overcome jealousy and, like Jesus, be jealous only for the glory of God.

To this groundbreaking work, originally published by the Oxford University Press in the 1980s, the author has added a new preface and two appendices, one of which consists of extracts from Calvin's Commentaries. The author demonstrates that the English "Puritans", who he calls "experimental predestinarians", were followers of John Calvin's successor in Geneva, Theodore Beza, and not of Calvin himself. R. T. Kendall maintains that what became known as English Calvinism was largely the thought of Beza, not Calvin. His book is an important clarification of Calvin's position in relation to those who have been regarded as his followers.

The message of Malachi is 'You are loved'. We all have skeletons in the cupboard, and God knows every one of them, yet he still says 'I Love you'. Through the prophet Malachi, however, God doesn't just leave it there - he goes on to say HOW he loves us - and what we should do in response. The book of Malachi is intensely practical, as befits the last book of the Bible before the New Testament. This was God's last word for almost 500 years and he wanted us to take notice! Malachi has lessons for us on taking God for granted, who we should marry, how we should talk to God, recovering from backsliding, God's character and our future with him. Kendall writes in his characteristic devotional style, one that enables us to meditate on God's word. Each section will therefore help you stand still in front of God and re- assess your relationship with him. Kendall reaches the acme of Biblical explanation.
