7 Myths about Singleness
Much of what we sometimes think about singleness ― that it is primarily about the absence of good things like intimacy, family, or meaningful ministry – is not true. The Bible gives a positive view of singleness: it is a gift and a blessing from God. This book will help both married and unmarried Christians value singleness as a gift from God so that we can all encourage singles to take hold of the unique opportunities their singleness affords and see their role in the flourishing of the church as a whole.

The Screwtape Letters
 
The Screwtape Letters
This book is a classic masterpiece of religious satire that entertains readers with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to “Our Father Below.” At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters is one of the most powerful accounts of temptation—and triumph over it—that has ever been written. The message of this book still resonates in our own generation.

There is tangible joy for the reader in Isaiah’s portrayal of judgment – rebuilding within the demolition, the new replacing the old.

Stott regards Paul’s letter to the Romans as a Christian manifesto for our increasingly unstable world, emphasising the good news of freedom through Jesus Christ. Paul’s vision of this freedom is astonishing. It overcomes ethnic conflict, the darkness of moral guilt, condemnation from God and alienation from others. It is a freedom to serve God and our neighbours in love. A very powerful message for any culture and generation.

This was one of the very first Haberci publications as we began to embark on a Bible Commentary series. It has proved very useful and we are encouraged that it has now been reprinted and is available again to serve the Turkish church.

Among a variety of religious authorities espousing different teachings, how were these young believers in Galatia to know who was right? How were men and women to be put right with God? How could Christians in the midst of a pagan culture live lives truly pleasing to God? ‘Only one way -‘ answered Paul, ‘through Jesus Christ.’ His answer holds true for us as well. Some of the issues of our struggles have changed since Paul’s day, but the principles he sets out are as timeless as ever.

The New Freedom of Forgiveness
 
The New Freedom of Forgiveness
Seventy times seven… how many times shall I forgive? Our Lord answers us clearly that our forgiveness of those who hurt us shall have no end. This is one of the most difficult challenges any person has to face. The author knows the outrageous cost-and incomparable value-of forgiving. He also knows this is a believer’s only option. Any other course of action will not only be destructive, it will violate the will of God. This is a challenging message but one which is essential in any culture, but especially in a culture which often sees forgiveness as an act of weakness. This book is an essential resource not only for understanding what God requires, but also learning how to apply it every day.

We are living through a very unique period. The coronavirus pandemic and its effects are perplexing and unsettling for all of us. How do we begin to think it through and cope with it? In this short yet profound book, Oxford University mathematics professor John Lennox examines the coronavirus in light of various belief systems and shows how the Christian worldview not only helps us to make sense of it, but also offers us a sure and certain hope to cling to.

Gospel Centred Hermeneutics
While there are many books on hermeneutics, Graeme Goldsworthy’s perception is that evangelical contributions often do not give sufficient attention to the vital relationship between hermeneutics and theology, both systematic and biblical. Goldsworthy’s aim throughout is to commend the much-neglected role of biblical theology in hermeneutical practice, with pastoral concern for the people of God as they read, interpret and seek to live by his written Word.

The Call to Joy and Pain
 
The Call to Joy and Pain
Joy and pain are both aspects of the call of God for the Christian. The Bible even presents pain as a trigger for joy. The author explores how this is so, showing the connection between rejoicing and suffering, how suffering draws us nearer to God, and how suffering makes us more effective in service. By examining Paul’s words on the subject of suffering for Christ from Colossians 1:24-29, the author explains how suffering can be a blessing to the individual Christian and to the church as a whole. This book will be a help to believers in Turkey.

The large number and diversity of biblical passages dealing with the theme of creation underlines its central importance to the biblical message.

For more than forty years, this book has set the standard for an introduction to world views.

The Message of Evil and Suffering
Evil and suffering have always been part of human experience – and they present a significant challenge to Christian belief in a good and all-powerful God. Evil and suffering may be a mystery to us, but they are not a mystery to God. The Bible writers are confident that God’s power and wisdom are great enough not just to cope with the realities of suffering and evil, but to overcome and transform them, and to enable us to be ‘more than conquerors’ in a broken and hurting world. This book is very relevant to the challenges believers face.

The Grace and Truth Paradox
 
The Grace and Truth Paradox
This title is the seventh in our “Living to Please God” small book series. The author handles this subject in a clear and pastorally sensitive way. He suggests a simple two-point checklist for Christlikeness based on John 1:14. The test consists of balancing grace and truth, equally and unapologetically. Grace without truth deceives people, and ceases to be grace. Truth without grace crushes people, and ceases to be truth. The author shows the reader how to show the world Jesus – offering grace instead of the world’s apathy and tolerance, offering truth instead of the world’s relativism and deception. This title will be a means of encouragement to all who read it.

George Eldon Ladd

The Message of Prayer

Tim Chester

Date published: July 2018

 
The Message of Prayer
 
The author’s insightful exposition of this central aspect of Christian living is driven by the conviction that we need to reform not only our thinking and behaviour in the light of God’s Word, but also our praying. Drawing on a wide range of biblical texts, he explores the foundations and the practice of prayer, and shows that how we understand prayer is bound up with how we understand the gospel, and God himself.

The Message of Lamentations

Christopher J H Wright

Date published: June 2018

 
The Message of Lamentations
 
This was a traumatic event in Old Testament history, with its extreme human suffering, devastation of the ancient city, national humiliation, and the undermining of all that was thought to be theologically guaranteed – the Davidic monarchy, the city of Zion, and the temple of the God of Israel. It is out of that unspeakable pain that Lamentations speaks. How can suffering be endured alongside faith in an all-loving, good God? Even if these events are recognised and accepted as God’s judgment, has not the flood of brutality and evil gone beyond all bounds? If anarchy, death and destruction stalk the land, can the centre of Israel’s faith hold? The author shows that we must not isolate Lamentations from the rest of the Bible. We must still let it speak for itself, as a book for today.

The Message of Holiness

Derek Tidball

Date published: May 2018

 
The Message of Holiness
 
The author surveys the Scriptures for a biblical understanding of the mandate from God to “be holy as I am holy.” The triune God of glory, he contends, sets us on paths that lead us through encounters with God, ourselves, our enemies and our companions to our ultimate destination, where we discover that we have been reshaped by God into his own image. This subject transcends cultures and exhorts believers everywhere to be holy.

What’s the Difference?

John Piper

Date published: May 2018

 
 
The Subject of manhood and womanhood is strongly debated today and impacts our society. For Christians the Bible must be the last word. But what does it teach about true manhood and womanhood? In what ways are men and women essentially the same? In what ways are they essentially different? How do these differences affect our roles in the home, the church, and the wider society? This booklet will be a very helpful resource for believers to help them think through the issues.

The Message of Hosea

The Message of Hosea
 
The Message of Hosea
“Go and marry a prostitute.” These are the startling words God spoke to his prophet Hosea. Why would God ask this of one of his prophets? Because he wanted to teach Hosea, the nation of Israel, and all of us today a lesson we will not forget. Hosea’s paints a sombre picture of the human condition. All of us have played the harlot by forsaking God and his ways. The picture is not pretty but it’s true. Yet Hosea’s clear illustration of God’s love for us brings joy. While we are yet sinners, God comes to us and loves us. We are therefore encouraged to lives lives worthy of the God who loves the loveless.

Risk is Right
 
Risk is Right
This is a powerful and challenging little book which guarantees to shake a believer out of complacency. The author says: “A choice lies before you: Either waste your life or live with risk… life was no cakewalk for Jesus, and he didn’t promise it would be any easier for his followers. We shouldn’t be surprised by resistance and persecution. We pursue comfort. We spend ourselves to get more stuff. And we prefer to be entertained… But what kind of life is that? It’s a far cry from what Jesus calls us to. Hear God’s promise to go with us into the unknown. And… see the joys of a faith-filled life of Jesus-dependent abandon!”

The Message of Proverbs
The book of Proverbs is a very practical book. Its instruction in the art of living has been long tried and long proven. In this commentary the ancient voice of Wisdom cries out again. She summons us to the life skills of godliness and helps us say no to the foolish and destructive enticements that inhabit the daily life of the modern world. But as much as we glean from the surface of Proverbs, there remains still more in its depths. This commentary wonderfully illumines the ancient cultural and religious background of the discourses and sayings of Proverbs. It is Godly wisdom for the people of God in any generation and culture.

The Message of John's Letters
Immorality is inundating the Christian community and gradually eroding the foundations of Christian living. The truth of God incarnate, the atonement and the bodily resurrection of Christ are under attack – even from within the church. These are the concerns of Christians today, and they were the problems that faced the Christians of John’s day. John encouraged Christians with a message composed of two words – truth and love. It is a message both timeless and timely for the church today.
