Bøker av G. Brian Christie

This book is intended for Christian men who want to grow in their faith by understanding, knowing, and applying God's Word to their daily lives. It is a solid exposition of Romans 5-8, in which the apostle Paul sets out the benefits of justification and God's superabounding grace, which include reconciliation, salvation from God's wrath on that Final Judgment Day, eternal life, new life in Christ, serving in the new way of the Spirit, freedom from the old realm of sin and death, and the benefits and blessing of being indwelt by the Spirit. But the thrust of these chapters is God's unstoppable purpose to bring us justified sinners to glory--resurrection bodies on the restored earth with Christ forever. This book is not written by a seminary professor, pastor, or full-time Christian worker. It is written by a businessman to businessmen, as a fellow traveler, who has spent a lifetime immersed in the hurly-burly of the business world. So the application of the exposition directly addresses the issues men in the business world face on a daily basis like greed, pride, sexual temptation, anger, patience, priorities, humility, lying (exaggeration), and perseverance. It is heavy on grace, forgiveness, and restoration.Each chapter can be read in about ten to twelve minutes. Ideal for busy men. Recommend reading one a day for forty days or as part of a men's Bible study group--a chapter or two a week.G.

He is the author of 12 Marks of a Man of God and Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, an Exposition of the Gospel of Mark for Men.

This book is intended for Christian men who want to grow in their faith by understanding, knowing, and applying God's Word to their daily lives. It is a fast-paced but solid exposition of the Gospel of Mark.. Mark writes in a no-frills, "just the facts" manner. He records eighteen miracles that Jesus performed--casting out evil spirits, healings, raising the dead, walking on water, feeding the five thousand and the four thousand, calming the storm, and of course, the final and most significant miracle is his resurrection. These all showed that Jesus was indeed the Messiah, the Son of God. And that's good news because if he is truly the Messiah and the Son of God, his death and resurrection were effective to provide forgiveness and eternal salvation to those who believe in him.This book is not written by a seminary professor, pastor, or full-time Christian worker.

The 12 Marks of a Man of God draws a biblically balanced portrait of the aspirations of every Christian man. Marks 1-3 address our personal relationship with God, particularly how to have a regular quiet time and how to walk by the Spirit. A flourishing personal relationship with God is the essential foundation on which the other marks are built.Marks 4-6 focus squarely on the three primary challenges we men face on a daily basis: sexual temptation, money, and pride. Marks 7-9 address the critical areas of our words, our work, and our lifestyle. Marks 10-11 focus on our two key ministries: our families and our church. Mark 12 completes the portrait with a call to the indispensable character quality of perseverance.Each chapter can be read in about ten minutes--ideal for busy men.
