A beautiful and vital exploration of the person and work of Jesus at a time when the church has lost sight of its first love Inspired by over seventy sermons preached by Simon Ponsonby, Amazed by Jesusfollows the life of Jesus from the crib to the cross, meditating on the resurrection, the promise that He will come again, and what this person and His life mean for us today. Emphasizing both the humanity and divinity of Jesus, Ponsonby showcases what is so amazing about Jesus, helping readers to renew their awe and wonder again. Marshalling the multifaceted names and descriptions of Jesus in Scripture-the King of the Jews, the Good Shepherd, the Lamb of God, the Living Water, the Bridegroom, and many more-this book reveals the one who is God come to us, to be God with us, to show God for us. Following Amazing, Ponsonby's poem penned in love as he rediscovered just how amazing Jesus is, Amazed by Jesushelps restore our vision of Jesus and expand it, so we can know Him better and see Him as He is. Jesus changed and is changing everything. This is a clarion call from Ponsonby to the church to return to our first love, to go deeper and truly experience the living water--a discovery that will impact the whole world.

Most people have prayed for something or someone in earnest, seeking God’s will, only to be left confused by God’s response. Sometimes we ask, “Why would a good God allow bad things to happen to good people?” In Amazed and Confused, Heather Zempel tackles this question head-on by exploring the book of Habakkuk. When the prophet Habakkuk prayed that God would bring change to the backsliding nation of Israel, this issue came to the forefront. Habakkuk begged God for revival and that He would turn the hearts of faithless people back to Him. God’s answer to Habakkuk was, “Take a look at the nations and watch what happens! You will be shocked and amazed” (1:5, The Voice). The vision God gave Habakkuk was one of warfare and exile. How do you respond when God answers your prayers in a way that seems out of line with his character and promises? Amazed and Confused proceeds systematically through the book of Habakkuk, exploring the prophet’s prayer, God’s response, and the prophet’s journey from confusion to worship. This interactive Bible study is the perfect choice for those who are hurting and confused about God’s responses to their prayers. Features include: Helpful guidance on a question without an easy answer Practical tools for studying the Minor Prophets Easy-to-understand, accessible language

Christ promised his disciples that they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came on them, and that they would be his witnesses across the world. When the Spirit did come to them in tongues of fire, thousands believed in Christ and were saved. That same miracle, that same Spirit, is alive in us today.so why are all of us-from the evangelical to the charismatic-so desperate for an intimate encounter with God? Why don't we feel like the new creations we know we are? Pastor and theologian Simon Ponsonby believes that the hunger we feel is a desire for more of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Many Christins have emphasized the experience of the Spirit and neglected the Word, while others have emphasized the Word and neglected the Spirit. Either way, we've become so accustomed to living in the shallow waters of Christianity that we've forgotten the depth of that promised power, and the depth of the love that gave this power to us. In More, Simon invites you to journey with him into the deep waters of God's love. While both biblical and practical, what he says also has the power to inspire in you a new love and a new understanding of everything we've been given in Christ. Are you ready? This journey may not be comfortable or easy, but it will bring you more joy and more of God than you can even imagine.
