NOT ASHAMED 2 TIMOTHY PB

From his early 20s, Con Campbell found that being a Christian is the 'greatest privilege on earth... a great joy indeed'. He also found that there is so much that people don't understand about Christians; that reading your Bible, praying and getting really involved at Church are quite foreign to our university, work and neighbourhood friends. 'While knowing Christ is a privilege and a joy', says Con, 'there is no doubt that as God's people we can sometimes be tempted to deny the truth'. The challenge of holding on to the truth - in a world that rejects it - is what Con's new book, Not Ashamed, is all about. Not Ashamed is a book of daily readings that takes a fresh look at the message of 2 Timothy where Paul encourages us to hold on to our faith in all circumstances without fear or shame. The second book in the Bible Alive Series, Not Ashamed is a set of 17 practical devotions that will revitalise the faith of both new and 'old' Christians, from teens to seniors. Each day's reading is a bite-sized look at a section of this sometimes neglected epistle, with a suggested prayer and 3-4 questions to help readers apply the message to daily life. This practical new book will help Christians to understand that the message of Jesus is counter-cultural; how trusting in God helps us to act in spite of fear, and that the gospel of Jesus is one that's worth suffering for, among other topics.
