“人的信仰決定人的生活，包括價值觀、生活取向、情緒健康等。一個沒有信仰的人，好像沒有舵的船，漂流無定。 本書便是對基督教信仰在生活和人性中的思考，是作者的心靈之聲：「我是在六歲隨家人信主，儘管未能脫離人性的掙扎，但一直自以為在追求敬虔，並且正直誠實。面對我人性的幽暗，我每天都在懺悔，但我的懺悔明顯是在接受和對審判的恐懼使然，而缺少人性的反思。2005年的仲夏，我經歷了一件讓我從惶恐無措，到憤怒，再到反思的事件。在其中我看到人性的敗壞和罪性的權勢？因此，我開始了信仰的反思，因為信，所以我思考！”

For the month of November, The Good Book Company is offering a free download of Glen Scrivener’s The Gift; you can access it here.
“Nothing beats the feeling of giving, or receiving, the perfect gift.
The most meaningful gifts we receive make us feel known, loved and valued. And when we give a gift like that, it’s like we’re putting ourselves in our present. And at Christmas, that’s exactly what God did.
This light-hearted and lively book explores how our gift-giving traditions show us a glimpse of a giving God. Evangelist Glen Scrivener helps readers to celebrate the gift of life in a world brimming with beauty, before taking us to John 3:16 to unwrap the Christmas gift that can give us what we’ve always wanted, and what we really need.”

For the month of September, The Good Book Company is offering a free download of Life in the Wild by Dan DeWitt; you can access it here.
“We see Jesus, we believe in Jesus and we wait for Jesus, yet still we suffer. This book offers real and rugged answers in life’s dark places. Discover how to live with hope in a fallen, messed- up, “wild” world, and be encouraged.
Walking through Genesis 3, Dan DeWitt shows us how we can look at this world realistically but without despairing, as we wait for God to keep his promise to bring us out of the wild and into his new creation. It’s the contrast between Eden, where everything reflects God’s perfection, and exile, where everything is spoiled by sin. The book helps us survive living in exile – Life in the Wild – until “the glorious day when God will welcome us home, out of the wild”.
This book holds dark and light in balance. It shows how we are living with the effects of the fall (we are messed-up people living in a messed-up place) – but God’s promise, made in Eden, serves as a beacon of light to guide our steps in this fallen world.”

“『教會』是一個重要的真理，卻為許多信徒所忽略。主明言，祂要把祂的教會建造在磐石上，陰間的權柄也不能勝過（參太十六18）。聖靈也啟示予主的僕人保羅，使之曉得這歷世歷代隱藏在神裡面的奧秘。本書領我們回到神永遠的心意裡，它正確的闡明了教會的真理，教會在神永遠旨意裡的地位。
教會是基督的身體、是羔羊的妻……，我們的主今天正等候著祂的教會的長大成人，正等候著要來迎娶這新婦，如此我們豈能忽略和逃避成長的責任呢？我們如果持定元首，聯於基督，必要顯出活石的實際，被建造成為靈宮，且催促基督的再來，叫神永遠的旨意早得成全。”
