Essential Virtues: Marks of the Christ-Centered Life
Essential Virtues by Jim Berg draws from the principles of 2 Peter 1 to explore the marks of the mature Christian life. Peter lists the virtues of a Christlike believer: commitment to be like Jesus (virtue), knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. As believers understand the meaning and importance of these core virtues, they can learn to cultivate these qualities while avoiding worldliness, rebellion, and spiritual apathy. Berg’s clear application encourages personal Bible study that will result in true biblical maturity. Essential Virtues includes study-guide questions for personal reflection.
In the Essential Virtues DVD series, Jim teaches an overview of each of the thirteen chapters. The series is often used for individual study and for group learning activities.

When Trouble Comes
DEDICATION
“On September 11, 2001, America was attacked by Islamic terrorists. On that fateful day thousands lost their lives at the World Trade Center in New York City, a field in Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon in Washington, DC.”
“This book is dedicated to the families and friends who lost loved ones on that horrible day. May they find in these brief chapters the hope they need in these troubled times.”
SUMMARY
In this small format, eighty-page, hardback book, When Trouble Comes, Jim Berg presents four truths for believers who are facing a crisis of life. These truths act as “spiritual CPR” to stabilize Christians or those they are helping in the event of sudden calamity. These truths are the spiritual anchors for those whose minds are spinning and perhaps numb from unexpected tragedy and suffering.
The book is especially helpful when believers are trying to minister to unbelieving loved ones, coworkers, and neighbors who need to hear the gospel presented in a compassionate and hopeful manner during their crisis.
Hospital, military, and first-responder chaplains have distributed this book widely in their ministries to those in their care. Churches have given the book to first-responders in their communities at annual church services honoring those in the community who serve them. Jim dedicated the book to those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001 so that readers would understand that God through His Word has provided the comfort and direction needed in times of crisis.
The separate fifty-page When Trouble Comes Study Guide guides the user through a four-week Bible study applying the four truths for times of trouble contained in the book. This is an excellent evangelistic Bible study when ministering to the lost who are facing trouble.
