Revised with nearly half of its material newly written, "Fresh Encounter" is a discussion of how God brings spiritual revival to individuals and the church.

New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller explores how people are changed by meeting Jesus personally—and how we can be changed encountering him today. The people who met Jesus Christ in person faced the same big life questions we face today. Like most of us, the answers handed down to them didn’t seem to work in the real world. But when they met Jesus, things immediately started to change for them. It seems he not only had the answers—he was the answer. In Encounters with Jesus, Timothy Keller shows how the central events and meetings in Jesus’ life can change our own lives forever. "Keller's work belongs on the bookshelf of every serious Bible student." —Examiner "Keller has mined the gold from these texts of Scripture, and any Christian is bound to have their minds expanded and hearts stirred." —Grace for Sinners

It's all too easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of a busy life. Between late hours at the office, your kids' extracurricular activities, and trying to find the time for a family dinner, your spiritual eyesight can become foggy, clouded by disappointments, or marred by difficult circumstances. If you feel stuck in your faith or you find yourself doubting God, here is a way to stay connected, to stay focused on Him. In Fresh Encounters with Jesus, Cheri Fuller shares stories of biblical and historical figures, modern believers, and her own journey of faith. She shows how God comes to us through the Bible, service, trials, mountaintop experiences, and even quiet whispers. Fuller's stories will encourage you to fall in love with the Lord anew and live life with gratefulness and trust.

Fresh Encounters shows you how to use worship-based prayer to transform your church's prayer life.

The impact Jesus had on numerous lives during his earthly ministry is obvious from the Gospel records themselves. But what we do not have is personal testimonies by those persons whom Jesus helped, healed, befriended, or recruited as disciples. In this creative exploration of what sort of testimonies those original encounters might have produced, Ben Witherington paints a picture for us of what the well known and the less well known eyewitnesses might have said had they been asked. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the historical context in which Jesus operated, Witherington brings these men and women out of the shadows and into the light of day.

Fresh Encounter by Henry Blackaby, Richard Blackaby and Claude King guides believers through the biblical pattern of experiencing God's presence which leads to revival in the church and a spiritual awakening in the world.
