 What Jesus Demands from the World
John Piper
Retail Price: $21.99
CBD Price: $15.99

The four Gospels are filled with demands straight from the mouth of Jesus. These demands are His way of showing us who He is and what He expects of us. Rather than the harsh demands of a taskmaster, they're like the demands of a father to his child in a burning window saying, "Jump to me!" All of Jesus' authoritative commands can be summed up as "Trust and treasure me above all!" In What Jesus Demands from the World, Piper has gathered fifty of Jesus' demands from the four Gospels. Blending historical context, exegetical insights, and application, Piper concisely examines each demand. The result is an accessible introduction for seekers and new believers as well as meditative meat for mature Christians wanting to know Jesus better!

 Studying the Historical Jesus: A Guide to Sources and Methods
Darrell L. Bock
Retail Price: $24.00
CBD Price: $19.49
( In Stock )
Interest in the historical Jesus continues to occupy much of today's discussion of the Bible. The vexing question is how the Jesus presented in the Gospels relates to the Jesus that actually walked this earth. This book is an introductory guide to how one might go about answering that question by doing historical inquiry into the material found in the Gospels. Darrell Bock introduces the sources of our knowledge about Jesus, both biblical and extra-biblical. He then surveys the history and culture of the world of Jesus. The final chapters introduce some of the methods used to study the Gospels, including historical, redaction, and narrative criticisms. Bock, a well respected author, provides an informed evangelical alternative to radical projects like the Jesus Seminar. His audience, however, is not limited only to evangelicals. This book, written for college and seminary courses, offers an informed scholarly approach that takes the Gospels seriously as a source of historical information.

 Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die
John Piper
Retail Price: $9.99
CBD Price: $7.99
( In Stock )
The most important questions anyone can ask are: Why was Jesus Christ crucified? Why did he suffer so much? What has this to do with me? Finally, who sent him to his death? The answer to the last question is that God did. Jesus was God's Son. The suffering was unsurpassed, but the whole message of the Bible leads to this answer.
The central issue of Jesus' death is not the cause, but the meaning - God's meaning. That is what this book is about. John Piper has gathered from the New Testament fifty reasons. Not fifty causes, but fifty purposes - in answer to the most important question that each of us must face: What did God achieve for sinners like us in sending his Son to die?

 Before The Throne of God Above: Jesus: Our Heavenly High Priest
Michael Plant
Retail Price: $10.00
CBD Price: $9.00
( Usually ships in 24-48 hours. )
For good reason evangelical Christians have been keen to emphasise the finished work of Christ on the cross in their presentation of the Gospel. Understandably, but to our loss, this emphasis hasn't always been accompanied by a similar emphasis on the ongoing work of the Lord Jesus in glory where, as our great High Priest, he always lives to intercede for his people.In a simple, non-technical way this book aims to look at the subject of the heavenly High Priesthood of Christ. Key questions on the subject are examined: - Why do we need a heavenly High-Priest?
- What is the link between Jesus' life on earth and his present work as our High-Priest?
- What is Jesus actually doing when he intercedes for us?
- What impact should it have on our lives?
Understanding the answers to these questions will equip us for confident Christian living.
