PLUCKED FROM THE FIRE

In the mountains of Nepal, a revolutionary was shot and wounded, his body thrown on the pyre. Just when all hope was lost, he was rescued from the fire, his life preserved for a higher calling. Raised to take his father’s place as a Hindu priest, then trained as a guerilla soldier, there was one more transformation awaiting him. This fiery young man would soon learn the name of a man called Jesus, and begin a new struggle – not for political change, but for the hearts and souls of his people.

This is the story of Nanda Giri, a Nepali man turned insurgent turned pastor and missionary. His life is a revelation of the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Through one life, the love of Jesus has spread to some of the most inaccessible places imaginable. Now that same powerful testimony is set to start new fires all over the world.

It is impossible to ignore Israel. No subject is more fascinating and inspiring, polarizing and confusing. Most people have prejudicial opinions of one kind or another, but the Word of God must be the final authority.

The Bible describes the history of Israel as well as its future. But it is their present state that is often overlooked. The Scriptures have much to say on this subject as well. It is not always pleasant to read, but it is necessary to understand the heart and plans of God.

In this book, Pastor G. Tyler Warner examines the Bible’s teachings concerning Israel, with comprehensive attention given to what he terms The Desolation of Israel – the ongoing judgment of God upon the Jews – as described by Christ, the prophets and the apostles. Through careful exegesis and thoughtful exposition, this book demonstrates the sovereignty and love of God for His chosen people as He stewards them through the turmoil of the ages to a glorious destination.

A difference-maker, plainly enough, is someone who makes a difference. When a difference-maker shows up, the story changes. Lives and cities and generations are different because they exist. This book was written for difference-makers – or anyone who desires to become a difference-maker.

We will be following the life of Elijah, one of God’s greatest difference-makers. Elijah experienced incredible highs and very deep lows. Elijah was a hero, but he was just a man (James 5:17). We can relate to his shortcomings, but if we walk by faith we will also relate to his victories. If you plan to walk the path of a difference-maker, you will encounter every step of his journey for yourself, one way or another.

The world is crying out for change. The problem is, they don’t know what to change. As usual, they are looking in all the wrong places. They need a difference-maker. Someone to remind them what God has to say, without compromise or condemnation. They need you!

Every one of us has spent some time in the wilderness – times of upheaval and pressure when we are forced to reckon with the way we have been living. God desires to turn these expeditions into moments of personal transformation.

Using the life of Jacob as a biblical template, Pastor Tyler Warner provides a roadmap to follow through this spiritual wasteland. Examined in the light of Christ’s work on the cross, the story calls us higher and deeper into the things of God.

With an approachable style and a wealth of practical application, Struggle & Surrender is a guide through the Bible’s teachings on sanctification and growth. Each chapter contains discussion questions for personal meditation or small group study.

The world is waiting for the man or woman you could become by the grace of God. It’s time to step out into the wilderness.

Every year, Christians around the world celebrate the final events of Jesus’ life. These days were the culmination of not only his incredible ministry, but of God’s plan from eternity past. And despite the fact that we know these stories so well, there is always something new to learn.

Pastor Tyler Warner presents eight different lessons and meditations on the events surrounding Christ’s death and resurrection, including:

• The Anointing at Bethany

• The Triumphal Entry

• The Cleansing of the Temple

• The Last Supper

• The Crucifixion

• The Resurrection

• The Great Commission

• The Ascension

These familiar stories have proven themselves to be timeless. Whether you are a lifelong disciple or a seeker for God, this is an excellent reminder of the power of the Gospel. Jesus Christ left a mark on this world that will never be erased, so it would be wise to remember his final days.
