Dietrich Bonhoeffer died a martyr’s death at the age of 39 but remains one of the most influential and challenging theologians of our time. His writings teach us the value of cross-centered theology, and his courageous actions against the Nazi regime compel us to consider the cost of discipleship. From Bonhoeffer, we learn that the Christian life is lived both alone and together, and that there is a stark difference between cheap and costly grace.

And so he gathered together a people for himself, and fostered them with many liberal distributions of his bounty, and, after so often finding them most ungrateful, ever exhorted them to repentance and sent out the voices of the universal company of the prophets to prophesy. By and by, promising freely the grace which in the last times he was intending to pour as a flood of light on the universal world through his Spirit, he bade the baptism of repentance lead the way.

Our souls cry out for nourishment, but many times we look to the world for a satisfying answer. God is always speaking, even in the most unsuspecting ways, and desires to feed our souls with the never stale food of his word. D. T. Niles said, "Christianity is one beggar telling another beggar where he found bread." So from one beggar to another, here is some bread for the day!

For a group of scientists, their Christian faith is put to the ultimate test: going back in time to find the true meaning of faith in Christ. For Dr. Graham Parker, his journey takes him back to the crucifixion. For his assistant Raj, his journey is the beginning of time itself. All Christians have come to a crossroads in their faith. Though this is a science fiction-based story, the lesson in faith is still the same. We must look no further than our own hearts according to God’s word.

John Calvin is the most notable figure from the Reformed tradition. Unfortunately, he is often characterized as a stern and cerebral individual who had little concern for practical matters. However, Calvin was actually influential in promoting a profound sense of piety among early Protestantism. In The Soul of Life, Joel R.

The Puritans frequently talked about dying well. That is something we do not discuss much these days, though we should. In this book, George Swinnock presents modern listeners with valuable food for thought as he expounds Psalm 73:26, My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

It is not uncommon for professing Christians to question the genuineness of their faith. In seasons like this, they can wonder whether it is even possible to know for sure if they are in a state of saving grace. In this book, Anthony Burgess shows that Christians not only can come to an assurance of their salvation but should pursue it. Burgess provides helpful advice for avoiding a presumptuous spirit while developing a humble confidence in grace.

But until now the character of his own Christian experience and his understanding of the Christian life have remained unexplored.

From Warfield we learn truly what it is to live in light of the gospel.
