Title: Faithful To The End: A Preacher's Exposition of 2 Timothy
Author: Robert M Solomon
Call number: 108.2 SOL









In his last known epistle, Apostle Paul, the extraordinary missionary to the Gentiles, left a poignant reflection on the most important matters in life. As we read and meditate on 2 Timothy, we are challenged to think about the direction and destiny of our own lives. Are we in the story of Jesus or are we in the many faulty and futile stories of the world? Are we being useful to the King of kings or are we wasting our lives in something transient and puny when measured against eternity? These questions and more come to us from Paul’s epistle and have to be answered in each of our hearts.

Robert Solomon’s passion for biblical exposition helps us plumb the depths of God’s Word and let it cast its search lights on our lives so that we are taught, rebuked, corrected, and trained in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).

So read on to discover how you can remain faithful to the end.

New book - Every Good Endeavour

Title: Every Good Endeavour: Connecting Your Work to God's Plan for the World
Author: Timothy Keller
Call number: 204 KEL









In today's increasingly competitive and insecure economic environment, we often question the reason for work: why am I doing this? Why is it so hard? And what can I do about it? Work may seem just a means to an end: we do it to earn the money to enjoy life outside the workplace. Here, Timothy Keller argues that God's plan is radically more ambitious: he actually created us to work. We are to work together to make the world a better place, to help each other, and so to find purpose for our lives. Our faith should enhance our work, and our work should develop our faith.With deep insight, Timothy Keller draws on essential and relevant biblical wisdom to address our questions about work. There is grace available if we have taken the wrong attitude, idolising money and using our careers to glorify ourselves rather than God. This book provides the foundations for a work-life balance where we can thrive both personally and professionally. Keller shows how through excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity and passion in the workplace we can impact society for good. Developing a better attitude to work releases us to serve others humbly, to worship God everyday, and leaves us deeply fulfilled.
