Many Christians resolve each New Year to be more faithful in their daily Bible reading. But after the first few days, we forget, fall behind, or become discouraged and give up altogether. We want to be more faithful in studying God's Word, but our hectic schedules and busy lives make it difficult. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!Five Minutes with God is a distinct and exciting approach to daily Bible reading. Instead of a lofty goal of reading through the entire Bible or even the New Testament in one year, Five Minutes with God focuses on shorter passages so that the reader can absorb more of the text and apply it to everyday life.This second volume of Five Minutes with God steps the reader through the rest of the New Testament, Acts-Revelation, in 365 daily readings. By walking with and reflecting on the early church, we learn how to live the Christian life in the midst of a hostile culture.Each day's reading ends with a thought for further reflection and a call to prayer. By reading, reflecting, and praying, Five Minutes with God will help you come to know Him, love Him, and follow Him like never before.

In "5 Minutes with God" I share what God had given me as encouragement for the things I faced daily.

Throughout biblical history the Jewish nation had a tradition of putting memorial stones in the places where God had clearly met with or rescued them. They served as reminders of God's faithfulness to them and to the generations that followed. As I reflect on ten years in Central Asia I am overwhelmed by the memories of how faithful God was. In these pages are some of our most significant memorial stories that reflect the pilgrimage of an ordinary person in the hands of an extraordinary God living among those who have never heard the Gospel. My hope is that as you read our stories you find reassurance knowing that God continues to use ordinary people! That Jesus is alive! And that our Father is faithful!

The history of the church is filled with stories. Stories of triumph, stories of defeat, stories of joy, and stories of sorrow. These stories are a legacy of God's faithfulness to His people. In this book, Dr. Stephen J. Nichols provides postcards from the church through the centuries. These snapshots capture the richness of Christian history with glimpses of fascinating saints, curious places, precious artifacts, and surprising turns of events. In exploring them, Dr. Nichols takes the reader on a lively and informative journey through the record of God's providence to encourage, challenge, and enjoy. This is our story--our family history. "THE CENTURIES OF CHURCH HISTORY GIVE US A LITANY OF GOD'S DELIVERANCES. GOD HAS DONE IT BEFORE, MANY TIMES AND IN MANY WAYS, AND HE CAN DO IT AGAIN. HE WILL DO IT AGAIN. AND IN THAT, WE FIND COURAGE FOR TODAY AND FOR TOMORROW."
