Even pastors struggle to keep going sometimes. When Dr. Jack Graham had a major surgery ten years ago, he knew it would take a physical toll, but to his surprise, he also found himself wiped out emotionally and spiritually. He wrestled with depression and a lack of spiritual energy, and he struggled to find joy and growth in his walk with Christ. Maybe you've been through a crisis of your own. Or maybe the busyness of life has overwhelmed you, or your faith has grown stale over the years and you've just been going through the motions. So how do you get back to being spiritually energized? In Reignite, Dr. Graham shares the powerful lessons he learned during his own dark night of the soul. He shares biblical insights on how to keep your relationship with God from growing cold, how to focus on what truly matters, and how to make the most of your years on earth, creating a legacy that advances the kingdom of God. For those who follow Jesus, God has promised a triumphant life and an eternity of joyous celebration. But we also need to embrace this joy and victory right here and right now. Let Reignite help you recapture what you've been missing.

Leading Baptist Pastor Teaches the Truth about Angels Myths about angels are everywhere. Do we become angels when we die? Are angels always hovering nearby, on guard to protect us from danger? Can we talk to them? Many of our ideas about angels come from the media, which is more interested in ratings and ticket sales than truth. As Christians it's important to understand what angels really are. Pastor Jack Graham walks readers through Scripture, revealing the truth about angels and their roles as worshipers of the Lord, witnesses to his glory, and warriors fighting on his behalf. Focusing on practical application, Dr. Graham separates fact from fiction, encouraging you to become a better worshiper, warrior, and witness. Includes end-of-chapter questions. A small-group curriculum DVD will also be available.

When a man loves Woman.

When Dr. Jack Graham was twenty years old, he got the phone call no one wants to receive. His father had been ruthlessly attacked, and it became clear to young Jack that invisible forces of evil were involved. He realized he needed to take the spiritual world more seriously, because the real battles we face in life are between the powers of good and evil...literally the armies of heaven and hell. Through compelling stories, practical guidance, and biblical truth, Dr. Graham challenges popular opinions and persistent folklore about heaven and hell, good and evil, angels and Satan. You will come away from this book enlightened about the supernatural world and encouraged that God can provide protection, provision, and power for whatever lies ahead. Each chapter includes questions for group discussion or individual reflection. Free online small-group curriculum is also available.

When Does Life Begin?

A transformational resource that ignites believers' understanding and practice of the Holy Spirit's life-altering power so that they think differently, behave distinctly, and victoriously display Christ to the watching world.

Popular author and pastor Jack Graham examines Paul's letter to the Philippians with an emphasis on life and vitality, showing what it means to be fit in body, soul, and spirit.

Have you ever heard people say, "I could never be good enough to get into heaven; I've messed up too many times"? Well, they're exactly right! On our own, we can do nothing to get into heaven. Even if someone is "righteous" in many people's eyes, the Bible tells us that our righteous acts are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). So how can we get into heaven since we are sinful and God is sinless? Sinful people aren't allowed into heaven, are they? No, but forgiven people are! God, in the most sacrificial act in the history of the world, sent his sinless, perfect, only Son to die on our behalf--even though we are sinners--so we can spend eternity with him. Life in heaven is a free gift! The Bible calls what God did an act of grace. The word "grace" means gift. Salvation from our sins is freely provided by a God who loves us despite our sinfulness. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). You cannot earn, learn, or deserve salvation. It is not a goal to achieve, but a gift to receive. Salvation is rooted in the mercy of God, not the merit of mankind. "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). But there is a problem... We are all sinners. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Every person has broken God's commandments. Though you may be a "good person" in the eyes of others, you know in your heart there is something wrong. We often fail to do the things we really should, and we do the very things we shouldn't. We "fall short" of God's high standard, which is perfection. Jesus said, "You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). But no one is perfect! We have all sinned and therefore cannot save ourselves by simply living a good life. The very best we can do is not enough. Because God is holy, he must punish sin. God cares about you to the extent that he is expressing his love to you right now. But he is holy, totally unique, and without sin. It's our sin that separates us from God's love. His righteousness demands that something be done about our sin problem, for God says that he "will by no means clear the guilty" (Exodus 34:7). God cannot simply dismiss sin or admit sinners into heaven because that would violate his own holiness and break his own law. So, God had a dilemma. How could he love us and at the same time judge our sin? The answer is the greatest news ever shared. God solved the dilemma in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God's unique Son who came from heaven to earth to reveal the love of God for you. He is more than just a man, though he was fully human. Jesus was not merely a man of God, but was the God-man--100% God and 100% man. The Bible declares that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:1, 14). The ultimate demonstration of Jesus' deity is the cross and resurrection. In that great act of love by dying on the cross, Jesus paid the price for our sins and purchased a place in heaven for us that he now offers as a free gift. He took our place of judgment, and the wrath of God that burns against sin fell on him: "For our sake [God] made [Jesus] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God"(2 Corinthians 5:21). What does all this mean? Man can receive God's forgiveness and the gift of eternal life. The Bible boldly declares, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31). Only by belief--faith--can we know God's love and forgiveness. Saving faith involves a choice to turn from whatever you may have hoped would save you and instead place your complete dependence only upon Christ Jesus to save you from the consequences of your sin. Faith means that you trust in Christ--nothing more, nothing less, nothing else--for your salvation. If you've never considered yourself good enough for heaven, all you have to do is accept God's gift of grace that he gives through the sacrificial death of his Son. Then let Jesus' righteousness pay for all your sins in full! Are you trusting in Christ alone for your salvation? If you desire to have this certainty of salvation, you can receive Jesus Christ right now by expressing your faith through a prayer like this: Jesus, I am a sinner and I need to be saved by your grace. I turn from trusting in myself, and I look to you who alone can forgive and save me. I know that you died on the cross for my sin, that you were buried, and that you rose again so I can have everlasting life. Come into my life, Christ Jesus, and make me the person you want me to be. Thank you for saving me. Amen. Did you really mean what you just said? If so, let's see what Jesus says about what you have just done: "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has everlasting life" (John 6:47).
