Are you struggling to find a Christmas Gift for your loved ones? Let CBD take the trouble away – with a lovely range of gifts costing from as little as R30 each, we have got Christmas covered.
Even people who are not professing Christians think they are familiar with the story of the Nativity. Every Christmas displays of Jesus resting in a manger populate lawns and churchyards, and songs about shepherds and angels fill the air. Yet despite the abundance of these Christian references in popular culture, how many of us have examined the hard edges of this biblical story?
In his new book Timothy Keller takes readers on an illuminating journey into the surprising background of the Nativity. By understanding the message of hope and salvation within the Bible’s account of Jesus’s birth, readers will experience the redeeming power of God’s grace in a meaningful and deeper way.
Hidden Christmas is the perfect gift for the Christmas holiday – a profoundly moving and intellectually provocative examination of the nativity story.
Are you struggling with Christmas Gifts ideas this year? Why not give a gift that will last long after the Christmas tree has been taken down, something that will have an eternal spiritual impact?
We all know how important it is to spend time alone with God daily. We all also know how hard it is to achieve that in the daily bustle and demands of life. Having a daily devotion is the single most important habit you can learn. Here is a selection of daily devotionals to suit everyone.

Year after year millions of people pitch into a growing whirlwind of activity in preparation for just one day-December 25th. Many of those who join in the excitement have at least some idea that this particular day is called Christmas day because it celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. They who are delighted to accept gifts, large or small, refuse to accept the greatest gift ever offered – and one that can be theirs at any time of the year. Here it is: ‘The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord’ (Romans 6:23).

Who was this Jesus?
Do we actually know when he was born?
Was there a special purpose in his birth?
Is there anything special that makes him stand out over the other 60 billion people that have lived on earth?

Many Christians in the west are fearful of engaging in conversation with Muslims – believing that they will be hostile to Christian beliefs and conversations about the Bible.
This short book is designed to help both Christians and whole churches understand more about the variety of Muslims there are living in the West, and to reach out to them with the good news of the Gospel.

Transgender: Vaughan Roberts
There’s been a huge cultural change in the last few decades. Same-sex marriage would have been unthinkable 20 or 30 years ago. Now it’s almost universally accepted in the Western world. Now suddenly the issue of transgender is the next big social, cultural issue that has dominated the headlines. This short book gives an overview and a starting point for constructive discussion as we seek to live in a world with different values, and love, serve and relate to transgender people.

Camaraderie of Confidence: John Piper
This book explores how Charles Spurgeon’s, George Mueller’s and Hudson Taylor’s trust in God’s sovereignty fuelled their faith, enabling them to live in obedience, persevere through hardships and bear fruit for the glory of God. Says the author, ‘What they have to teach us and show us about the camaraderie of confidence for the glory of God is enormous. Let them lead you into a life of greater faith and joy and radical commitment to Christ’s mission in this world.’

Intended for Good: Melvin Tinker
The Puritans used to say that “providence is the last refuge of the saints.” Melvin Tinker believes that the doctrine of God’s providence should be amongst the first refuges for the Christian seeking strength and comfort. From the early church right through into the nineteenth century, belief in providence was part of the staple diet of professing Christians. For various reasons, the doctrine was eclipsed in the nineteenth century, and yet it still lies on the edges of much Christian thought and practice today. Melvin Tinker’s exposition of the wonderful facets of that jewel is both pastoral and practical.

Money Counts: Graham Beynon
Some of us want to escape money. Some of us want to embrace money. We fear money, and we desire it. We think about it every day, and yet often we try not to think about it.
Graham Beynon shows us how to control our money rather than our money controlling us. In this readable, realistic book, he takes us to the gospel to show how we can handle money well in our hearts, so we can handle it confidently and wisely with our hands.

Maybe you grew up a Christian and then stopped going to Church?
Maybe religion failed you in some way and you never returned to God?
Maybe science and skepticism replaced your need for God?
But now you have trouble answering life’s bigger questions…. “Where can I find fulfillment”? … “Will we ever have real justice?”… “Why am I still not satisfied?”…
Maybe it is time to take another look at God?
We live in an age of skepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: “Why should anyone believe in Christianity?” or “What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives?”
In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs. Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.
We were never meant to take this journey of faith alone or in secret. God has entrusted us with the great and mighty gift of the gospel, something too precious and life-giving to keep to ourselves.
In this 6-session Bible study, Beth will encourage you to guard what God has entrusted to you, further His kingdom by sharing Christ with others, and pour into future generations just as Paul once mentored Timothy. Because in this journey of joy and hardship, we need each other to stay the course and live lives of faithfulness.
Biblically-rooted and gospel-centered content
Interactive teaching videos (approximately one hour per session)
Leader material available with guides to questions and discussion with small groups
Beth’s recitation of 2 Timothy to encourage Scripture memorization
5 personal study segments with homework to complete between 6 weeks of group sessions
Additional articles by Melissa Moore, Beth’s daughter and ministry partner, included
Nine Day Queen of England – Lady Jane Grey
Written by Faith Cook
“Lady Jane called out in a clear voice. “Lord, into thy hands I commend my spirit.” Then with a stroke, swift, sharp and terrible, Jane’s short life was ended. Like the Apostle Paul she had fought a good fight, finished the course and kept the faith. Henceforth there was laid up for her a crown of righteousness – a crown that none could take from her.”
Lady Jane Grey has often been called the ‘Tudor Pawn’ but to see her as one whose life was simply moved around by others is totally inadequate. This is no simplistic life and death of a sixteen-year-old girl. In order to understand the full tragedy and triumph of her life it is vital to grasp the far-reaching political and religious changes that were shaking England at that time. The Reformation touched the whole population; from palace to university; from emerging town to peasant cottage.
Like the pieces of a jigsaw, the pieces come together to give a picture of a girl with outstanding natural abilities, whose strength of character and remarkable faith shine out despite the darkness that often surrounded her. Executed at age 16, Jane paid an awful price for a throne she did not seek.
‘Faith Cook writes in a very readable manner. Here is a sympathetic but realistic treatment of Lady Jane, coupled with a helpful study of this vital period of history.’ – Mignon Goswell, Presbyterian Theological College, Melbourne
