Spiritual Theology

Samuel Logan Brengle (1887-1931) was an influential Salvation Army preacher, teacher, and author. Helps to Holiness offers a simple and straightforward examination of the doctrine of entire sanctification. Brengle’s reasoned and practical teaching made this work highly popular.

Many Christians are under the impression that God's grace and his favor are two different things - that while his grace may be a gift, his favor is something we must earn. This misunderstanding has led to destructive teachings about "prosperity" and blessings, and ultimately to lives that feel unfulfilled and inadequate. Pastor Greg Gilbert puts favor back in its rightful place, as God's gift through Jesus Christ. He shows how the favor that Jesus earned through his perfect life and sacrificial death becomes ours the moment we believe.

What makes life meaningful? More to the point, what makes our life meaningful? Without a good answer to that question, we can expend much energy and experience much anxiety as we attempt to live lives of significance, only to find that in the end we missed the point entirely and along the way were deeply dissatisfied. But there is hope. In Why You Matter, Michael Sherrard shows that life is only meaningful if God exists. He then shows how that fundamental fact provides clarity for some of the most important questions of our lives.

The Bible is filled with stories of God using ordinary people in extraordinary ways to change the world. Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, and others were just regular, imperfect people who chose to obey God's call - and what a difference that made! God is still in the business of transforming his followers into world changers, and that includes you.

What if the way you’ve been taught to view God has been the very thing holding you back from the life you were meant to live? For too long, toxic theology has distorted faith—trapping people in fear, shame, and restriction. But what if God is loving, limitless, and empowering beyond anything you’ve ever imagined? In Reimagine God, Rev. Jason Powell offers a bold and liberating path to reclaim your faith. Blending progressive Christianity, New Thought metaphysics, Pentecostal passion, and lived experience, this book is a spiritual awakening for today’s seekers.

One of the standout features of "The Fast Track to Faith" is its exploration of the diverse forms of fasting. This section provides detailed definitions and exegetical insights into key biblical passages that illuminate the unique purposes and contexts of each type of fast. For instance, listeners will learn about the absolute fast described in Acts 9: 9, where Saul of Tarsus refrained from food and drink during a transformative encounter with God.

The primary message: everything we want is possible when we become living spirits. This audiobook is rational, but not a book of the mind. Feelings are expressed, but it is not a book of the emotions. To achieve its purpose, the following lines may even irritate your mind-because we don't know God with our mind. We know God spirit-to-Spirit. What you hold is a book of spirit, for your spirit.

Believers know that when we die, we enter heaven and will spend eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But what actually happens in heaven? What are we going to be doing there? Won't it get boring at some point? According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven will be a continual revealing of God's glory. Not just his glory in the moment, but during all of time.

The Christian faith requires faith. That means that believers are sometimes faced with uncertainty. But is all uncertainty bad? Theologian Joshua McNall encourages listeners to reclaim the little word perhaps as a sacred space between the warring extremes of unchecked doubt and zealous dogmatism. To say "perhaps" on certain contested topics means exercising a hopeful imagination, asking hard questions, returning once again to Scripture, and reclaiming the place of holy speculation as we cling to a faith that stands distinct from both pervasive skepticism and abrasive certainty.

A Godward Life is the first of three devotional volumes by John Piper. Each feature 120 vignettes that focus on the radical difference it makes when we choose to live with God at the center of all that we do. Scripture-soaked and touching on the issues which most affect our lives today, A Godward Life is a passionate, moving, and articulate call for all believers to live their lives in conscious and glad submission to the sovereignty and glory of God.

The central claim in Christ Formed in You is that it is God's purpose to change us by progressively making us more like Jesus, and that this happens only as we understand and apply the gospel to our lives. In this audiobook, we will explore the transforming power of the gospel from several angles.

Since the release of this book, the testimonies have been rolling in... for those who have never spoken in tongues—receiving it for the first time; for those who have not experienced or understood the fullness or specifics of this powerful gift—becoming free and confident on its parameters and usefulness.

Do you struggle with discouragement, fear, or unwanted thoughts but don't know why? Maybe you feel disconnected from God. You've read books and attended church services, yet lasting change in your life remains out of reach. There's a nagging feeling you're missing something, but you're not sure what it is. What if what you need most is being sidestepped by those who will only tell you what you want to hear?

What’s all the fuss lately about the traditional Christian doctrine of hell? Seems like every week there’s a new book, article, or blog debating this long-held view with a growing number of mainstream believers and even Bible scholars beginning to question the status quo. Learn the surprising truth about the origins of the hell doctrine and how, upon closer inspection, it’s not even taught in the Greek or Hebrew scriptures. God’s love is much bigger and more powerful than you ever imagined.

Dr. Neale B. Oliver's What's Up in Heaven? takes a deep dive into Scripture to see what the Bible says about Heaven and to show us, convincingly, that not only is death not the end, it's the beginning of a brand-new existence unlike anything we can even imagine. If you're not sure there's a place in Heaven for you or those you love, it's not too late. Humanity has the promise of everlasting life when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior—and even better, as Dr. Neale illustrates, we have a home with God that will last for all eternity. That home is Heaven.

For many years, Michael Phillips assumed he clearly understood the life of Jesus. Though Jesus was in truth his Savior, and even his Lord, Phillips felt challenged to understand more of the remarkable life lived 2,000 years ago in Palestine. Then came a crisis in his spiritual pilgrimage. Challenged to discover the New Testament imperative for his life, Phillips takes a fresh look at the Bible to find out what is the essence, the foundation, of spirituality. He discovers a key that gives validity to an entire life's purpose as a Christian. And that key to Jesus' life was obedience.

In Theologizin’ Bigger: Homilies on Living Freely and Loving Wholly, pastor, podcaster, and public theologian Trey Ferguson encourages you to re-engage your imagination, and to construct theologies that speak to our current contexts, just as people of faith have done throughout history. With personal stories and some lo-fi truth telling, Ferguson leads us through topics like how we read the Bible, our inherited traditions, the shame and confusion we experience, and a faith that can shape tomorrow.

“For thousands of years, the hope of heaven has called to people through miracles. When we stop to consider their stories, God’s voice calls to us as well.” In our age of constant innovation, technological achievement, and the sad tendency to see ourselves as the captains of our fate, we...
