 click for details | | HEAVENWARD: How Eternity Can Change Your Life on Earth Cameron Cole Exploring the Life-Changing Impact of Heavenly Mindedness Though they’re destined for eternal glory, many Christians languish in earthly mindedness. Having never set their sights on things above, they lack hope in adversity and vibrancy in their faith. Where can believers find joy and inspiration for everyday life? It’s in the already-and-not-yet reality of heaven. Following the unexpected loss of his firstborn child, pastor Cameron Cole’s daily focus shifted drastically heavenward. He discovered that an intentional eternal mindset can bring meaning and joy to every Christian’s life. In this heartfelt, theologically rich book, Cole draws from his personal story of grief, the apostle Paul’s letters, and the examples of believers throughout history to demonstrate how heavenly mindedness fosters contentment, hope in suffering, motivation for missions and evangelism, commitment to morality and ethics, and no fear in death. "As we depend on God’s grace together, 'Heavenward' will be a journey toward a heart, mind, and life more anchored in glory and more filled with joy, hope, and purpose. Section 1, “The Beginning of the Heavenward Journey,” features a short, basic overview of the components of heaven, largely drawn from Paul’s theology. It also defines what I mean by a “heavenward life.” Section 2 looks at “Why Paul Was So Heavenward (And You Can Be Too!).” We will look at five different factors in Paul’s life and theology that influenced his heavenwardness. In the process, we will find that these factors in Paul’s life are true of your life and the lives of all Christians. Finally, in section 3, we will discuss and enjoy “The Fruit of a Heavenward Life.” We will explore five benefits and promises that flow out of Paul’s heavenward mentality. In doing so, we will see the transformative and hopeful power of living with a heavenward trajectory."

When we are confronted with weariness and the sting of death, heaven breaks into our present reality. Through pain, we can access a deeper joy even now as we wait for that restoration that we will one day know in full. This is a courageous and vulnerable encouragement and offers us a way of wisdom through difficulty.” -Sandra McCracken, singer-songwriter “Heavenward drew me in because of Cameron Cole’s story. Who better to guide us through a studied, biblical understanding of eternity and how it affects our two o’clock on a Monday than one who has lost a child? I’m grateful for these sage words and the story behind them.” -Sara Hagerty, author, Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet and Adore “Cameron Cole invites readers to the heavenward life, and this book equips them for a journey of eschatological sanctification. He shows how looking upward in Christ helps humanize us and grants us resilient hope for times both good and bad. He writes as a fellow pilgrim of the transforming vision that he’s seen and longs to share.” -Michael Allen, John Dyer Trimble Professor of Systematic Theology and Academic Dean, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando “‘The end defines the story.’ These profound words capture the essence of Cameron Cole’s life-giving wisdom and insight in Heavenward. It will help shed the earthly minded scales from your eyes and lift your gaze to see not only the promises of your future heavenly home but also the beautiful reality that heaven has already come to us through our union with Jesus. May it encourage your heart with the truth that the hope of tomorrow directly infuses hope into the realities of today.” -Sarah Walton, coauthor, He Gives More Grace; Hope When It Hurts; and Together Through the Storms Cameron Cole (MA, Wake Forest University) is the director of children, youth, and family at Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama, and the founder of Rooted, a ministry dedicated to fostering gospel-centered student ministry. He is the author of 'Therefore I Have Hope: 12 Truths That Comfort, Sustain, and Redeem in Tragedy', and the coeditor of Gospel-Centered Youth Ministry and The Jesus I Wish I Knew in High School.

 click for details | | HELP HEAVENWARD: Guidance and Strength for the Christian's Life Journey OCTAVIUS WINSLOW (1808-1878) Admission to heaven is promised and guaranteed to all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ but they all need help to get there. Sin, suffering, death and Satan obstruct the believer’s progress in faith and obedience. But God’s grace, his Son’s merit and the Spirit’s might, all cooperate to direct, uphold, encourage and restore the believer who persevered on the holy pilgrimage. Help Heavenward, a practical handbook on sanctification with heaven ever in view, is devotional writing at its finest. I know of no better book to give to Christians as they struggle in this sinful world to live in obedience to their Saviour. Use this book to become acquainted with those sacred truths of Scripture that the Spirit uses to mould our thoughts, words, and actions for Christlike living. TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword Author’s Preface 1 The Ransomed Returning Home 2 Progressive Meetness for Heaven 3 The Burdened Gently Led by Christ 4 The Clouds of the Christian, the Chariot of God 5 Trial, a Help Heavenward 6 Bonds Loosed 7 Human Care Transferred to God 8 Self-Communion 9 Backsliders Returning 10 The Swelling of Jordan 11 Our Father’s House ‘Help Heavenward – that is the strength of the Christian life journey. Chapter two of this book is on progressive sanctification – about the only thing I’ve ever read on it that is well-balanced and makes sense. . . . That alone is worth the price of this book. Winslow is very warmly experiential in all that he writes, and you’ll just find, whatever he does . . . meets the needs of the soul.’ — JOEL R. BEEKE Octavius Winslow (1808-78) was born in Pentonville, a village near London. He was the eighth of thirteen children. Though he grew up in New York, he spent most of his life in England. Winslow was one of the best-known Nonconformist ministers of the 19th century in England, and held pastorates at Leamington Spa, Bath and Brighton. He was one of the preachers at the opening of Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle. Winslow pastored a Baptist church on Warwick Road in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire (1839-1858) and in 1858, become the founder and first minister of Kensington Chapel, Bath. In 1865, the church became a Union Church (a mixture of credobaptist and paedobaptist). This may mark a change in attitude in Winslow who in 1867 left the Baptist Pastorate and was ordained an Anglican deacon and priest in 1870. For his remaining years, he served as a minister of Emmanuel Church, Brighton. In 1868 he had produced hymn book for this very congregation. He died in 1878 after a short illness. Winslow’s many writings include The Work of the Holy Spirit; Help Heavenward; Personal Declension and Revival of Religion in the Soul; No Condemnation in Christ; and Soul-Depths and Soul-Heights, all reprinted by the Trust. shw3p THIS 215 PAGE PAPERBACK REPRINTED AND RE-TYPESET IN LATE 2023 SGCB Price: $10.99 (list price $14.00)ORDER ALONG WITH OUR NEW 'HEAVENWARD TRILOGY' AND SAVE EVEN MORE SGCB Price: $32.00 (list price $54.00)'STEPPING HEAVENWARD' (by Prentiss), 'HEAVENWARD' (by Cole) and 'HELP HEAVENWARD' (by Winslow) |
