Long before the New Testament was a document, it was a sacrament. Jesus called the Eucharist by the name Christians subsequently gave to the latter books of the Holy Bible. It was the "New Covenant," the "New Testament," in his blood. Christians later extended the phrase to cover the books produced by the apostles and their companions; but they did so because these were the books that could be read at Mass.

Historic statements of faith—such as the Heidelberg Catechism, the Apostles’ Creed, and the Westminster Confession of Faith—have helped the Christian church articulate and adhere to God’s truth for centuries. However, many modern evangelicals reject these historic documents and the practices of catechesis, proclaiming their commitment to “no creed but the Bible.” And yet, in today’s rapidly changing culture, ancient liturgical tradition is not only biblical—it’s essential.

Hidden from the dawn of time by revealed to us in God's word, is the greatest mystery of all - oneness with Christ. We were created not just to be like him, but to become truly one with him. In Consumed By Love, Duncan tells the story of his journey into discovering the God of love who in Christ became one with all of humanity. This priceless act of love holds the key to each of us living an extraordinary life on earth that only God can live, accessing his infinite riches and supernatural power and giving it away to the world.

The world saw Carlos Pena and Alexa Vega enjoying the success of their acting careers--Carlos on Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush and Alexa in the Spy Kids movies. But what they didn't see was the question both Carlos and Alexa were asking in the midst of all that fame and fortune: What's the point of it all anyway?

I believe that this is our time, our hour, and our moment as Christians to be fully consumed by God. This book, Living a Life Consumed by God, is meant to equip and empower every believer to live our lives as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, so that we can live the full life of freedom that Christ has for us!

Louie Giglio came to my house in 1997, and we sat down at my dining room table. We did not know each other, and he had heard and read some things. He said, ‘I am looking for a person whose whole message revolves around the glory of God in Christ, and you seem to me to be one of those.’

Evangelical poster child Addie Zierman wore three WWJD bracelets, led two Bible studies, and listened exclusively to Christian rock. She was "on fire for God", unaware that the flame of her faith was dwindling until it burned entirely out. With candor and transparency, Addie chronicles her journey through church culture, first love, and her entrance - unprepared and angry - into marriage. When she washes out of church and nearly her marriage on a sea of tequila and depression, she isn't sure if she'll ever go back.

Driven by a quest for a life marked by the power of God, hungry Christians often seek out proven formulas to help grow their faith. While this kind of teaching can be helpful, it fails to create mature sons and daughters of God who radiate his love, power, and glory in every area of life. The great pursuit of every believer should not be a religious formula - it should be the face of God himself.

Our God: A Consuming Fire encapsulates the awe-inspiring nature of God as depicted in the Bible. This powerful phrase evokes images of divine holiness, righteous judgment and transformative power. Just as fire purifies and refines precious metals, God’s presence purges sin and ignites hearts with passion for His Kingdom.

Most Christians have seen something asinine like this on Facebook and rightly dismissed it. But not every post on social media is so obviously absurd. As online spaces increase in importance, it is urgent that we as Christians consider how to love our neighbors on the internet—and this includes sharing the truth.
