Turning water into wine took Jesus a few minutes. Changing a reed (which 'Simon' means) into a rock ('Peter') took quite a few years. Which is the greater miracle, transmuting nature or transforming human nature? Many identify with Simon Peter's weaknesses, not least his knack of opening his mouth and putting his foot in it On one occasion he even swore that he didn't know his best friend, just to save his own skin. Jesus taught this fisherman how to catch more fish, then how to catch people. He used that unruly tongue to preach the good news of his death and resurrection for the very first...

Taking the middle section of the Apostles' Creed as a framework, the author explains the fundamental facts about Jesus, on which the Christian faith is based, in a fresh and stimulating way.

It must bewilder many Christians that teachers and preachers using the same Bible can come up with so many different interpretations and, more particularly, applications of God's Word. One of the main reasons for this confusion is their handling of the word 'covenant', which is so fundamental to scripture. The two key questions are: how many covenants has God made with human beings and how many of these apply to Christians today? Some say there is only one ('the covenant of grace') running right through scripture, though they might add a second ('a covenant of works') which applied only to...

For the most part, the church has been silent about Jesus role as baptiser in the Spirit, though John declared this to be the principal contribution of his Messianic ministry. Through exploration of the relevant scriptures of both Old and New Testaments, David Pawson describes eight essential elements in Spirit baptism. He maintains that the sacramental, evangelical and pentecostal streams in Christianity have all failed to do justice to this biblical doctrine. In particular its dual purpose of purity and power, for salvation and service, needs to be recovered if we are to become a truly...

The author explains, clearly and accessibly, man's need for God, and he teaches the basic Christian beliefs. A proven tool for evangelism, this key book is ideal for enquirers, new Christians and all who see David Pawson on broadcast media.

Speculation about the second coming of our Lord is nothing new. The saints in Thessalonica were already being misled. Pauls two corrective letters, among his earliest, deal with the issue in a way that is profound and practical, as well as giving details to be found nowhere else in the New Testament. The rapture, the man of lawlessness, the temple - these and other features are uniquely here.
