The Benefit of Doubt Workbook: How Confronting Your Deepest Questions Can Lead to a Richer Faith
by Craig GroeschelYour doubts are an invitation to a deeper faith.Have you ever felt alone in your doubts? Or like you're the only one with questions about your beliefs? If so, you're in good company. Many heroes of the faith struggled with doubt—including C. S. Lewis, Martin Luther, and Mother Teresa.The good news is that having doubts about your faith doesn't mean you're not a faithful follower of Jesus. In fact, doubt indicates a desire for authentic faith. Often, it is the struggle of confronting your doubts that will lead you to a greater understanding of what you believe—and a deeper faith.In The Benefit of Doubt Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel draws on scriptural truths, biblical characters, and church history to lead you through your doubts. You'll dig deeper into some of the tough-to-answer questions that believers in Christ often ask, including:Why should I believe God is good?Why doesn't God answer my prayers?Why does God feel so far away?Why would God send people to hell?If you're ready to face and embrace your doubts, this workbook will provide you with thought-provoking questions and opportunities to understand your doubts and find deeper faith in the truth.This workbook is a companion to The Benefit of Doubt by Craig Groeschel. In each of the ten sessions, you'll examine a passage of Scripture that addresses common doubts, and then you'll get to assess your own beliefs about these topics.
The Problem of Life: How to Find Identity, Purpose, and Joy in a Disenchanted World
by Mark ClarkCompelling answers to your biggest questions about life.The Western world faces unprecedented levels of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Despite advancements in wealth, knowledge, and longevity of life, many feel their lives lack significance, leading to a deep longing for fulfillment and happiness. In The Problem of Life, author Mark Clark recounts a pivotal moment when he mistakenly informed a woman of her husband's death. This profound mistake taught him invaluable lessons about existence and purpose. He argues that our relentless pursuit of money, family, and friendships--while important--often distract us from what truly matters, leaving us disenchanted.What if we could address this inner ache? What if we could discover our true place in the world?In this final book of a trilogy which began with The Problem of God, Clark presents 11 practical principles to help us flourish. He explores foundational topics like our origins, identity, and the meaning of suffering while drawing from biblical theology, psychology, and engaging stories, like:His battle with Tourette Syndrome and how it made him a better preacher and person.How he accidentally saved a woman from killing herself.Why scientists and tennis players agree that the cultural conversation about gender is all backward.Why your view on Sea World may predict your level of anxiety.What the dramatic events surrounding a false missile alert in Hawaii in 2018 have to do with you. The Problem of Life illustrates how we may be looking in all the wrong places for joy, contentment, and satisfaction and points us toward God as the remedy for our brokenness.

1 Corinthians: Living Together in a Church Divided (New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series)
by Scot McKnightScholarly insights with a pastoral heart for all the books of the New Testament."Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity!"—Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacherPaul writes a letter to a church routinely in disagreement with Paul's vision for how to live as a Christian in Corinth (a Roman city). The Corinthians were daily challenged to pursue Romanitas, or the social, cultural, and religious life of the elites in the Roman world, and thus the Corinthians were pursuing too much prestige and status and honor. Various factions, or divisions, had formed among the house churches. Paul addresses a series of church problems presenting themselves in Corinth that need to be understood and corrected so the believers of Corinth can walk in the way of Christ more consistently.In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight reveals the newness and activeness of God's Word as it works in our everyday lives.
