December 2024 Update
Changing us for Glory – OUT NOW!
An old legend tells of a man who looked so often at a face carved by nature’s forces into a mountain, that his own face came to resemble the rocky image, and the ideals attributed to the face in the mountain came to characterize the man himself. Whatever the truth of that story, Scripture makes it clear that, whether for our good or for our destruction, we become like what we worship. For the believer in Jesus Christ, this principle comes with the promised hope of the words: ‘And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another’ (2 Cor 3:18).
The aim of these 366 one-page readings, drawn from the works of David Gooding, is to deepen our understanding of some of God’s characteristics. We see that he is the Triune God of relationships; the living and transcendent Creator; the sovereign Lord who guides our lives; the God of love and grace, loyalty and humility, wisdom and truth; the God of revival and restoration who welcomes us into his grand story; the God of revelation who wants to be known; and the God of joy who changes how we think and live. And as we see him, he transforms us to be like himself, from one degree of glory to another.

Thanks to our partnership with Revival Movement Association (RMA), and help from other key contacts, a total of over eight thousand titles from our Encounters series will be sent to India to be distributed among Christian organizations. They will distribute them into the hands of their communities, and also include them in ‘book packets’ for Christian pastors.
