HELLO FRIENDS!

FEBRUARY is here! It's a happy and exciting month with lots to do and prepare. Of course, Chinese New Year celebrations (though a cosy and intimate affair this year) is the Event of the month. Then there is Valentine's Day too if you want to celebrate the people you love.

But just as important is that we're less than 2 weeks away from the Lent season! As Christians, the Good Friday weekend is something dear to our hearts. After all, we get to be Christians because there was a Good Friday & a Resurrection Sunday!

We highly recommend getting a resource to journey through Lent. Take this period to study all about Jesus. We have selected a list of new/ good Lent materials from our store for your consideration. If you want to explore more, come visit us & spend time to browse :)

Here's our opening hours during the Chinese New Year season. We'll be taking a break from Day 1 - 3 but we'll be back to serve from Day 4 onwards. :)

Journey through Lent with Best-Selling Author Paul David Tripp

“During our forty days together, may your mourning increase so that your joy may deepen.”

— Paul David Tripp

Lent is a time in the yearly Christian calendar when we mourn our sin and let go of worldly things that keep our hearts from experiencing God more fully. But how do we reevaluate and recalibrate the values of our hearts to match those of our suffering Savior?

In this forty-day Lenten devotional, Paul David Tripp invites us to set aside time from the busyness of our lives to focus on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus. Each of the short readings encourages us to abide in the abundant joy found in Christ as we encounter the Savior more fully and follow him more faithfully during this Lenten season.

DAILY DEVOTIONS FROM ASH WEDNESDAY TO RESURRECTION SUNDAY

The LENT 2021, 'From the Ashes to the Cross' devotional book contains daily devotions from 17 February (Ash Wednesday) to 4 April (Resurrection Sunday). Interacting with various Scripture references from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, the author desires readers to have unhurried time with God. Each devotion is kept simple and easy to understand and finishes with a short prayer and a quote to ponder on.

AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH & TAMIL LANGUAGE.

This title will be available in our store starting next week. Kindly pre-order with us if you are interested by emailing to simon@sksbooks.com

"The passion and resurrection of Jesus are central to Christian faith, yet the diverse accounts of these events in Scripture prompt questions about what we can truly know. Bovon provides a clear and accessible overview of the primary texts, the questions they raise, and the historical contexts that drive the action. At the same time he remains attentive to the issues of faith that are at the heart of the matter."     - Holly Hearon

Acclaimed New Testament scholar Francois Bovon engagingly and concisely explores the last days of Jesus. Detailing the similarities and differences in the passion narratives of the four canonical Gospels and the Gospel of Peter, he shows that these stories were not composed by objective witnesses but are reflections of the perspectives of those who wrote them. This lucid, highly readable, yet critical appraisal of Jesus' final days is a masterful example of the discipline of biblical studies.

This Lent, refresh your relationship with God by exploring the way Jesus Himself prayed to His Father. Focusing on six of the prayers of Jesus leading up to the central events of our faith, encounter the Saviour in a new way and reach new depths of intimacy with God in prayer.

Through six sessions, experience more of God’s presence as you pray and reflect on Jesus’ journey to the cross.

Each session includes:

• Warm up suggestions
• Setting the scene
• Bible readings
• Session focus sections
• Discussing starters
• Prayer exercises

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” - Matthew 16:24 ESV

Imagine walking alongside Jesus in His final hours on earth.

This is the journey author Bill Crowder wants to take you on - with Christ as He imparts final lessons to the disciples He will soon leave behind.

Join Jesus as He dines in the upper room during the Last Supper. Feel His agony in the garden of Gethsemane. Witness His betrayal and His trials before the high priest and Pilate. Throughout each pivotal event, you will see Jesus as prophet, sufferer, advocate, and ultimately our Savior.

* And because the journey does not end at the cross, you will also see Christ triumphing over the grave as He conquers death and returns to the Father in heaven.

Is your heart unsettled by the chaos of the world? Are you heavy-laden with bad moments, mad moments, or anxious moments? Today, rest in God’s self-giving love and leave all your troubles at the foot of the cross.

There were no accidents on the days surrounding Jesus’ death. Jesus’ last moments were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. God was never more sovereign than in the details of the death of his Son. God didn’t have to do all these things. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more.

Pastor Max Lucado will help you:

• Learn just how much God loves and cares for you.
• Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life.
• Remember that there’s nothing you can do to earn God’s gift.
• Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God’s presence.

Search the scene of the cross and listen for God’s gentle whisper,

“I did it just for you.”

A JOURNEY THROUGH LUKE'S GOSPEL FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

These simple 10-minute family devotions in Luke’s Gospel explore Jesus’ character through nine meals that he shared with people.

The format is the same as The Wonder of Easter with different questions for 3-4s, 5-7s, 7-12s, teens and even parents, so the whole family can enjoy looking at the Bible together.

As you read these passages, your children will be transported to the dinner table alongside Jesus. They will see for themselves who Jesus really is and why they can trust him.

Designed to be easy to lead with no preparation required, these devotions are an achievable joy, not an unrealistic burden. They can be used at any time of year, including during the run-up to Easter.

(* Recommended for Age Level: 3-5 )
