"For many people the word theology suggests seminary-educated scholars who sit in ivory towers, isolated from the real world, studying the Bible. Such study is often viewed as esoteric and unrelated to the world where men and women live, work, play, raise families, and struggle with the realities of day-to-day life. Nothing could be further from the truth." ---Tony Evans What we think about God, also known as theology, influences what we believe, do, and say. And what we think, whether true or false, makes a big difference in real life. Tony Evans wants you to know the truth about God, so Theology You Can Count On communicates truths about God in language you can understand. He walks through what the Bible teaches, topic by topic, truth by truth. The great thing is, these truths aren''t reserved for people with PhDs. They''re for real life. They''re for you.

Tired of religion? Longing for relationship? You''re not alone. Most Christians yearn to grow spiritually, but many don''t know how to begin. Some seek maturity through deeds or doctrine. But Tony Evans reminds us that flourishing faith comes from a vibrant walk with Christ. "If you are pursuing a relationship with Jesus Christ and are passionately committed to bringing Him glory, your spiritual life will grow at a speed you never imagined possible," says Evans. In Kingdom Living: The Essentials for Spiritual Growth, Tony Evans helps us to understand God''s plan for our maturity, addressing topics like conversion, the Holy Spirit, power, and Scripture. You''ll discover how: Knowing God better is a passion more than a process. Experiencing God deeper is a matter of the heart first, then the mind. Loving God more is what we do when we follow the God who first loved us.

A competitive athlete trains for one thing- the game. Having the skills and knowing how to play aren''t enough- you need to perform when it matters. Yet so many of those same athletes live in a spiritual offseason. They have faith. They know the Word. But they sit back and watch others take the lead. Get in the Game encourages athletes to transfer their drive and determination to the spiritual realm and shows that there is far more than a game on the line.

“God is Up to Something Great will thrill you with its message about our wise and sovereign Heavenly Father’s plan for your life.”—Franklin Graham, President of Samaritan’s Purse and The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association All of us go through good, bad, and just plain ugly times.

But you say, “I am in a mess; it’s the biggest mess anyone ever made. You don’t know my mess!” There’s only one answer for that, says Tony: “You don’t know my God.”

People seemed completely unaware of how the spiritual realm was at work in their lives. “They saw clearly with their physical eyes,” he says, “but remained unaware of the evil, unseen spiritual activity that either caused or aggravated their physical world. Even in my own life, when I faced challenges or struggles, I would often reference the physical system without first looking at the spiritual cause,” says Tony. “Thus this book’s message was born to more effectively help people understand and address their struggles from a spiritual point of view.”
