3 Gospels
$19.95
A decade after he published his famousfirst novel, A Long and Happy Life, ReynoldsPrice began a serious study of the Hebrew andGreek narratives which combine to form thatcrucial document of Western civilization we callthe Bible. Since early childhood, Price hadknown Bible stories of patriarchs, kings,prophets, and the boldly assertive women ofAncient Israel, as well as the four-fold gospelstory of the life of Jesus — another Jew whosecareer has exerted immense fascination onsubsequent history.
In Price’s early middle age, however, he feltcompelled to go further than simple reading;he began to investigate the rudiments ofthe Bible stories as deeply as possible. Hefocused on the Hebrew and Greek originalsthat are unquestionably the most discussedand annotated texts with the close assistance ofother literal versions and of numerous scholarlycommentaries, old and modern. He was likewiseencouraged and helped by frequent discussionswith distinguished scholar-colleagues at DukeUniversity, where he has taught since 1958.
As the work continued over several years,Price expanded his translation attempts into theGreek New Testament. And soon he had begunan informal navigation of the shoals of KoineGreek — that common Mediterranean dialect inwhich a good deal of the business of the Romanempire was conducted and in which the gospelsand all other books of the New Testament werewritten. Gradually, his translations of separateincidents from the four gospels evolved into aliteral translation of the whole of the oldestgospel, Mark. His first version of Markappeared, along with other translations fromthe Old and New Testaments, in A PalpableGod (Atheneum, 1978). The book met witha wide and favorable reception from scholars,writers, and critics.
Price’s studies have expanded steadily in theintervening decades; and in recent years he hasworked at both a revised version of his earlytranslation of Mark and an entirely new literalversion of the Gospel of John (John is the last published gospel and almost surely the one thatcomes, at its core, from an eyewitness of the lifeof Jesus). To his new translations, Price hasadded extensive prefaces, which he hopes will beof interest to scholars and casual readers alike.The prefaces are the result not only of his ownwork as a translator and his discussions withNew Testament scholars of more than twentyyears reading in textual exegesis, in the life ofthe first-century Roman world (including theimmensely complicated realities of Ro

Be Like Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$13.99In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains that our spiritual transformation involves not only thinking and acting like Jesus but also allowing those thoughts and behaviors to shape our attitudes. As we do this, we experience a new way of looking at the world and discover an inner strength that allows us to remain steadfast, secure, and solid in the face of any circumstance. We also discover a new desire to serve others . . . which, in turn, draws them to the love of Christ. We know we are becoming like Jesus when we possess these attributes:
*I have a deep love for God and for the other people in my life.
*I have inner contentment in spite of my circumstances and understand my purpose in life.
*I have freedom from anxiety because I am at peace with God, others, and myself.
*I have experienced the power, through Christ, to control my thoughts and behaviors.
*I have patience in the unavoidable pressures of life and am slow to anger.
*I have the desire to be kind and good in my relationships with others.
*I have established a good name with God and others based on my loyalty to those relationships.
*I have become thoughtful, considerate, and calm in my dealings with others.Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Be Like Jesus is a churchwide discipleship program that will take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your behaviors. This revised study, adapted from Part 3 of the Believe churchwide study, includes an updated video study and new content and questions adapted from the existing Believe Study Guide and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by Randy Frazee.

God Of All Things
$19.99Abstract theology is overrated. In the contemporary West, we’re desperately in need of rediscovering God through ordinary, physical things we see in the world around us.
Jesus did it all the time. He mentioned a lily, sparrow, sheep, coin, fish, harvest, banquet, lamp, stone, seed, and vineyard to teach about the kingdom of God. In the Old Testament, too, God repeatedly describes himself and his saving work in relation to physical things such as a rock, horn, eagle, shelter, cedar, lion, shield, wave, ox, and so on. “Ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you” (Job 12:7-8).
In God of All Things, pastor and author Andrew Wilson explores glimpses of the sacred in created things, finding in them illustrations of the character and gospel of God. As humans, we encounter glory through stars and awe through storms. We learn about humanity through dust and about Jesus’s death on our behalf through trees and bread and wine. Ultimately, we meet God in his creation. It is a gallery full of sketches, paintings, and portraits revealing our Maker and Savior.
Wilson presents a variety of created marvels–from figs and galaxies to viruses, pigs, and honey–that reveal the gospel in everyday life and fuel worship and joy in God.
