Bold as Love by Bob Roberts Jr. (Thomas Nelson, 2012) North America in the 21st century is as diverse ethnically and religiously as it has ever been. In his new book, Bob Roberts helps believers get a picture of what it’s like to reach out in love to neighbors of different religions—whether it’s Hindu- ism, Buddhism, Islam, Atheism or something else. He encourages believers to confront their fears of reaching out to people of other religions and step out in bold, loving faith to tell them about Jesus. It’s a great book for anyone with a desire to tell a diverse neighborhood about Jesus!
I AM Changes Who I Am by Gregg Matte (Regal, 2012) To be an on mission disciple of King Je- sus, you’ve got to be willing to step out in faith. Current SBC Pastors Conference president, Gregg Matte, helps you see how what you believe about Jesus will change what you are to do. The senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Houston shows how the seven “I am” state- ments of John are linked to Jesus’ miracles and can tell us much about who He is and how He wants to move in our lives. Matte attempts to help readers discover the power Jesus operated in and learn what it means to walk in that same power through their own particular callings.
