Essential Virtues: Marks of the Christ-Centered Life
BJU Press Description:
What are the marks of a truly mature Christian? The first chapter of 2 Peter is a refreshing well of truth on this subject. Peter lists the virtues of a Christlike believer—knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. Explore the meaning and importance of each core virtue and learn to cultivate these qualities while avoiding worldiness, rebellion, and spiritual apathy. Jim Berg's clear application and heart-searching questions encourage inner growth that results in spiritual commitment, courage, and compassion—the foundation of true biblical maturity.
Changed into His Image
When Jim saw his children
on the brink of adulthood, he was burdened to provide them with a
biblically sound, realistic,and practical handbook for godly Christian living. Changed into His
Image is the result of that mission to help them and others maintain their day-to-day walk with
the Lord. Now in its fifth printing since its debut in 1999, Changed into His Image offers
basic training in Christian growth and guidance in recognizing and overcoming the habits that commonly
hinder spiritual progress. Also available in Spanish,
Portuguese, German, Russian, and Chinese.
Created for His Glory
Created for His Glory is Jim's second work on discipleship. It's a dynamic tool for pastors, Christian
educators, parents, or any other Christian dedicated to the ministry of discipleship and personally in search of
greater spiritual fitness. Dr. Berg takes an enthusiastic look at the fullness of joy and the victorious life available
to every Christian who comes to a clearer understanding of God's purpose in redemption. He also takes a probing look
at pitfalls and misconceptions that commonly weaken believers.
When Trouble Comes
Jim Berg presents four truths to
apply when a person faces a crisis. These truths act as "spiritual CPR" to stabilize Christians or those they
are helping in the event of sudden calamity. Dedicated to those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001, When
Trouble Comes contains truths that can help anyone through the toughest times.
Basics for Believers
This tiny treasure offers a
wealth of simple explanations for sometimes complex topics such as resisting temptation, witnessing, finding God’s
will for your life, and personal Bible study. It’s a valuable handbook for new believers, who will
find it a helpful tool for spiritual growth, and for seekers, who will find answers to their most basic
questions about what it means to believe and how to come to Christ. It is also helpful for seasoned
believers, who will want to keep it on hand for personal work and to give away. Available in French and Spanish.
