Shows busy Christians how to serve joyfully, not wearily. Many of us are serving, and feel like we're sinking. We feel joyless, weary and burdened. John Hindley shows how Jesus was telling the truth when he offered people an "easy yoke"-a way of serving him that is joyful and liberating. He explains why serving is so often joyless-and how our identity in Christ changes everything. If you are serving, but sometimes feel as though you're sinking... you need this book! If you know someone who has burn out, or is heading in that direction... they need this book too. Serving with sinking... * Is written in a personal, warm, gospel-hearted style. * Encourages readers to see not only how they serve, but WHY they serve * Points Christians away from themselves and back to Jesus * Frees people from the burdens of joyless, duty-based serving

The Joy of Service gives us a view of service often missed by the world. It is though service to others that we gain joyfulness in our own life. In reading you will find strength and a desire to at first search out ways to serve others. In time your life will be one of service without thought and one of peace. "THESE fragments of lessons may have their mission of helpfulness to some who are earnestly striving to grow into a braver, truer, richer-hearted life, and to become inspirers of others in their efforts and struggles." James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois. He was the General field Agent for the United States Christian Commission, an organization established by the Young Men's Christian Association after the First Battle of Bull Run. Miller authored nearly 100 books and articles.

"Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul." —John Piper No one has had a greater impact on the world for eternal good than the apostle Paul—except Jesus himself. For John Piper, this impact is very personal. He does not just admire and trust Paul. He loves him. Piper gives us thirty glimpses into why his heart and mind respond this way. Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother? If we know this man—if we see what Piper sees—we too will love him. Paul's testimony is a matter of life and death. Piper invites you into his relationship with Paul in the hope that you will know life, forever.

You may have found yourself reflected from the pages of Paul's letter to the Phillipians - the subject of 'Serving with Joy'. Why? Because in many respects the Christians in first-century Philippi were very similar to evangelical Christians today. They were orthodox in belief. They were faithful to the gospel. They seemed to harbor no gross sins. But they nevertheless had need of encouragement and instruction. In 'Serving with Joy', Stephen A. Grunlan concentrates on the practical aspects of Paul's short letter: being like-minded, the cost of commitment, dealing with struggles, overcoming attitudes. I have attempted to avoid heavy theological issues and details that are of limited scholarly interest, he says. Rather, I have attempted to look at Paul's practical counsel and draw application for us today. 'Serving with Joy' is also ideal for personal study. Thought questions at the end of each chapter help summarize the book's content and stimulate reflection.
