Stay The Course And Stick With The True Gospel
$24.98To “stay the course” means to persevere through difficulty. To “stick with” something means to not give it up. Gospel means “good news.” We need some good news today and God has it. However, the “gospel” offered today is often different from the gospel revealed by God in His word. That has led to a lot of bad news. The “gospel” must be accurate and true to what God has revealed. We can’t change the words of God and expect God to abide by conditions He never offered. That is exactly what is happening in the church today. The consequence of straying off course is spiritual dullness, division, and disillusionment. The church is experiencing a kind of Dark Ages. Because the church is in darkness, the world is too. But there is hope! Throughout history the true gospel has been a powerful reality. Stay the Course and Stick with the True Gospel, based on a study of Galatians, is a challenging call to discover and stick to the true gospel and sound biblical doctrine.

Heart Of The Bible Narrative
$33.33Modern biblical scholarship has long been preoccupied with the relationship between history and doctrine. Karl A. Kuhn argues that an overly rational approach to the thought of the biblical authors misses the equally important but long neglected affective dimension of biblical narrative.
In Part I of The Heart of Biblical Narrative, Kuhn presents an approach to the Bible that applies “affective analysis” to get at a “cardiography of biblical narrative.” Biblical narrative in both Israel’s scripture and the New Testament is understood fundamentally as an attempt to persuade and move the reader, not simply to convince the reader of certain truths.
In Part II, Kuhn’s close reading of the opening chapters of Luke’s Gospel shows how biblical authors employed pathos as a way of drawing readers into their narrative and, thereby, their understanding of reality.

Revelation Of John
$36.00As the only book of its kind in the New Testament, Revelation can be difficult to understand, and for readers without specialized training, the historical-critical approach used in many commentaries can provide more complication than illumination. Here James Resseguie applies the easily understandable tools introduced in his primer on narrative criticism to this challenging book. He shows how Revelation uses such features as rhetoric, setting, character, point of view, plot, symbolism, style, and repertoire to construct its meaning. This literary approach draws out the theological and homiletical message of the book and highlights its major unifying themes: the need to listen well, an overwhelmingly God-centered perspective, and the exodus to a new promised land. Here is a valuable aid for pastor and serious lay reader alike.

From Moab To Bethlehem
$43.73From Moab to Bethlehem…Journey to the King is an in-depth study of the biblical book of Ruth. Full of deep insights by author Cynthia Shomaker, it traces the footsteps of Naomi and Ruth and takes the reader on an inspiring journey from doubt, despair and defeat to triumphant faith and satisfying fulfillment. First taught to a small Bible study group, the 44 lessons in From Moab to Bethlehem address issues every person deals with, among them: the temptation to trust in earthly things, failed expectations, responding to loss, disillusionment and despair, past sins and other debilitating conditions, self-doubts and insecurities and false saviors. Along the way, it constantly points the reader to Jesus, the King, the true Savior and Redeemer, who much like Boaz, Ruth’s kinsman-redeemer, is not only able to redeem fully, but to provide “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.” This inspirational book challenges us to dare to leave our “Moabs” behind, venture by faith onto the pathway to Bethlehem, the “House of Bread,” and find there in Christ everything we’ll ever need.

Continual sadness and depression deplete your energy, your motivation, your enjoyment of life and your physical health. How many times have you heard a pastor or Christian friend say, “God is the answer to all your problems?” How many times have you thought, “Sure? How can that be? My life is in shambles. I have come to the end of my rope. I don’t think God remembers who I am. He seems so distant and unapproachable.” God does love you. Look to Jesus. He felt every emotion as you have. You can have confidence in Him. He knows what He is talking about. You can trust Him.

Faithful Disagreement : Wrestling With Scripture In The Midst Of Church Con (Stu
$21.00Conflict is all too common in the church today. But as Frances Taylor Gench reminds us in this book, conflict over scriptural interpretation has been with the church since its earliest days. Gench reflects on those early experiences of conflict, presenting substantive studies of biblical texts showing that discord (e.g., Rom. 1415; Matt. 14; Jer. 28; 1 Cor. 1214; John 1317) and drawing lessons from each about how it informs current conflicts in the church. In the process, she provides a constructive resource to help Christians wrestle with Scripture when they disagree.
This innovative book can be used by individuals and in groups. Numerous helpful study questions conclude each chapter.

Bible Interpretation : To Help Every Person Discern The Word Of God
$19.98God, who created me and, He had chosen me for His ministry to preach the Gospel one of God’s many purpose’s in my life. I am cautious and careful to be obedient to Him to Praise, Honor, and Glorify God that has created me for His purpose. All of these words in this book, I believe have been inspired by God through the Holy Spirit that was made possible because of the sacrifice that was made by Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. I think back when I thought it was God instructing me to not read these other interpretations or translations of the Bible. I was being deceived by satan the enemy and ruler of confusion. Realize why we do not delight in the law of the Lord and why is it we do not meditate on these scriptures day and night. Because we are infected with the fleshly worldly lusts and desires of the media and addictions of advertisements. Satan indices our flesh with camouflaging treats of mouth watering pleasures that was seemingly pleasantly rewarding. Then after we have partaken of worldly pleasures we find ourselves obese, in credit card debt, or double or triple mortgaged. Abused our bodies till our health, well we wonder, then quickly realize we did not take great care of this Godly temple. Now, when I read the New Living Translation Bible or New International Version, King James Version, or New King James Version, I’m not intimidated. It just gives me more understanding.

He Became Poor
$30.99Drawing deeply on the views of Thomas Aquinas, He Became Poor challenges the modern economic tendency toward the “proprietary self” and calls for a renewed appreciation of the virtues of trusting receptivity and humble awareness of our membership in a larger benevolent order. Christopher Franks reveals how the summons to become poor bestows a new intelligibility on formerly obscure economic teachings. In the course of his discussion Franks juxtaposes Aquinas with Aristotle, John Locke, and Alasdair MacIntyre.
This book makes a provocative case for taking Aquinas’s thoughts on economics more seriously and illustrates how the very market conditions of the modern world cloud any attempt to fully understand Aquinas. Franks offers a convincing argument that questioning market-formed assumptions can actually help us recover the evangelical character of Aquinas’s ethics.

More Precious Than Gold
$21.99Theologian and pastor Sam Storms urges readers to discover and delight in the treasures of Psalms through 50 days of meditations on this beloved Bible book. In his third book of daily meditations, Sam Storms urges readers to not just enter into God’s Word but to take the next step toward knowing him and his Word better. And the book of Psalms, Storms believes, is a great place to start, because Psalms is so popular and so very relevant to our experiences today. In More Precious Than Gold, Storms combines years of life experience and his biblical and theological training to bring readers 50 brief, daily meditations that are both stylistically accessible and theologically substantive. Each meditation includes a historical or theological reflection on the psalm in context, a story that brings it alive, and creative tools to support the key idea. Storms also interweaves the words of such luminaries as Charles Spurgeon, Jonathan Edwards, and John Piper to help readers better understand the concepts that are featured throughout Psalms: worship, prayer, joy, forgiveness, steadfast love, mercy, sin’s consequences, the law of the Lord, and our relationship with our enemies. Like the Psalter, Storms doesn’t shy away from the tough issues. Instead, he encourages readers to experience through these daily meditations what he and generations of Christians have found to be true: that the whole of the Christian faith is about lifting God higher and magnifying his name-even during difficult times.

Heart Almanac Expository And Curriculum
$22.48Human life is governed by the heart. The physical heart sustains the body by pumping life-giving blood to every organ and cell. The spiritual heart, on the other hand, is God’s dwelling place on earth. Our success or failure in life depends not upon material wealth or social status but upon the condition of our spiritual heart. Everyone without exception needs a new heart from God, clean and right before Him, because without a new heart there cannot be a new life. The heart holds the keys of life. Downing’s Heart Manual is biblically and scripturally based to help students know their own hearts and enable them to meet the challenges of life from a heart perspective. This 2-year study guide is designed to help students and teachers broaden their knowledge of the heart and of how to love the Lord with all of their heart, which is the first and greatest commandment (Matthew 22:37-38). Knowledge of our heart is very important because out of the heart flow the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23). In Hosea 4:6 God says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Spiritual heart knowledge-God’s heart as well as our own-is essential for eternal life. This one-of-a-kind heart manual will guide students on an intimate journey into the very heart of God.

Through His Eyes
$26.00Eve, Sarah, Deborah, Mary, the woman at the well…; women have played pivotal roles in redemptive history. Their case studies reveal God’s perspective on women, then and now. Few biblical teachings have been as misunderstood and muddled by those inside and outside the church as its instruction concerning women. Through His Eyes answers the question “What does God think about women, and how does he treat them?” by walking readers through several biblical case studies. Through His Eyes begins with Eve and a series of Old Testament examples that demonstrate the respect God gives to women and their significant place in salvation history. In the New Testament we see how God blessed Mary by calling her to be the mother of our Savior and how beautifully Jesus treated women. Here is a happy exposition of the dignity and glory the Lord showers on women. The author encourages women to delight in their creation and calling, and he challenges men to honor women as does the Lord himself.

Memories Of Ancient Israel
$35.00Recent years have seen an explosion of writing on the history of Israel, prompted largely by definitive archaeological surveys and attempts to write a genuine archaeological history of ancient Israel and Judah. The scholarly world has also witnessed an intense confrontation between so-called minimalists and maximalists over the correct approach to the historicity of the Bible. Memories of Ancient Israel looks at the issues at stake in doing biblical historythe ideologies involved, the changing role of archaeology, and the influence of cultural contexts, both ancient and modern. Davies suggests a different way of defining the problem of reliability and historicity by employing the theory of cultural memory. In doing so, he provides a better explanation of how ancient societies constructed their past but also a penetrating insight into the ideological underpinnings of today’s scholarly debates.

Christ And Caesar
$27.99The slogan “Paul and the Empire” is much in vogue in New Testament scholarship today. But did Paul truly formulate his gospel in antithesis to the Roman imperial cult and ideology and seek to subvert the Empire? In Christ and Caesar Seyoon Kim first examines five epistles of Paul exegetically and shows how the dominant anti-imperial interpretation is actually difficult to sustain.
Next he examines the Lukan writings (Luke-Acts) to see how Luke talks about the encounters of Paul and other gospel preachers with Roman imperialism. Kim explores why it is that Luke makes no effort to present Christ’s redemption as materialized in terms of political liberation. Finally, Kim compares the exaltation Christologies of Luke, Revelation, Paul, and Hebrews and inquires about the hermeneutical possibility of developing a political Christology in our present-day context.

Old Testament Between Theology And History
$57.00From its inception at the time of the Enlightenment until the mid-twentieth century, the historical-critical method constituted the dominant paradigm in Old Testament studies. In this magisterial overview, Niels Peter Lemche surveys the development of the historical-critical method and the way it changed the scholarly perception of the Old Testament. In part 1 he describes the rise and influence of historical-critical approaches, while in part 2 he traces their decline and fall. Then, in part 3, he discusses the identity of the authors of the Old Testament, based on the content of the literature they wrote, demonstrating that the collapse of history does not preclude critical study. Part 4 investigates the theological consequences of this collapse and surveys Old Testament and biblical theology in its various manifestations in the twentieth century. An appendix includes a history of Palestine from the Stone Age to modern times, constructed without recourse to the Old Testament.

Challenging Prophetic Metaphor
$38.00The prophets of the Old Testament use a wide variety of metaphors to describe God and to portray how to understand people in relation to God. Some of these metaphors are familiar and soothing; others are unfamiliar and confusing. Still others portray God in ways that are difficult and uncomfortableGod as abusive husband, for instance, or as neglectful father. Julia OBrien searches the prophetic books for these metaphors, looking for ways that the different images intersect and build off each other. When confronted with disturbing metaphors, she deals with them unflinchingly, providing a sharp critique and evaluation of the interpretations of these metaphors for God. Giving particular attention to the possible uses of these metaphors in the church todayfor good or illOBrien listens to the fullness of the prophetic messages and points us toward new ways to read these theological metaphors for a just faith today.

Gods Magnificent Drama
$18.73Motivated by repeated comments from parishioners, class members and even fellow clergy about difficulties in understanding the book of Revelation, the author set out to demonstrate that the book is a genuine “revelation,” meant to be understood by God’s people. The book title defines that goal; it really is a Magnificent Drama. The contents of Revelation are covered thoroughly but the book is no mere word-for-word commentary. Readers will think and feel with the Apostle John as he receives and records our Lord’s messages about the future and into eternity. Extremes of the drama include a descent to the darkest depths of human history and will soar to unprecedented glory at the end. It’s a breath-taking drama and as the word of God, it is all true, exciting reading. Ken Knappen, an ordained Baptist minister, earned Master of Arts and Doctor of Ministry degrees at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He was engaged in pastoral work for forty-four years including a six-year stint as a Conservative Baptist Association denominational staffer. Concurrent with active pastoral ministry, he served on numerous boards and committees including the National Association of Evangelicals’ Board of Administration and as the vice-chair of the Buffalo/Niagara Falls Billy Graham crusade. For fourteen years following retirement in 1993, he and his wife, Mitzie, taught a Bible class in a United Methodist church.

Introduction To The Gospels And Acts
$24.99An Introduction to the Gospels and Acts offers a concise, readable study of the first five books of the New Testament. Charles Puskas and David Crump (1) clearly explain the need for a historical-critical study of the texts; (2) Summarize source, form, and redaction criticism; and (3) lead readers through the texts, highlighting the various literary devices and themes, pointing out the political and religious context, and offering the scholarly consensus on the sources. Puskas and Crump’s coverage of the Gospels and Acts throughout is clear, comprehensive, and – with more than 300 endnotes – well documented. Evenhanded and nonpolemic, this book will be valuable both for those with a previous foundation of biblical study and for students with no background in reading the Bible.
