Evil In Genesis
$29.99

The genesis of evil.

The book of Genesis recites the beginnings of the cosmos and its inhabitants. It also reveals the beginning of evil. Before long, evil infests God’s good creation. From there, good and evil coexist and drive the plot of Genesis.

In Evil in Genesis, Ingrid Faro uncovers how the Bible’s first book presents the meaning of evil. Faro conducts a thorough examination of evil on lexical, exegetical, conceptual, and theological levels. This focused analysis allows the Hebrew terminology to be nuanced and permits Genesis’ own distinct voice to be heard. Genesis presents evil as the taking of something good and twisting it for one’s own purposes rather than enjoying it how God intended. Faro illuminates the perspective of Genesis on a range of themes, including humanity’s participation in evil, evil’s consequences, and God’s responses to evil.

Radical Apprentices : Risky And Rewarding Decipleship Rediscovered Through
$15.99

How can believers today express their commitment to Jesus in a way that is relevant and alluring? Ron Mahler reintroduces the early Church, whose people were so radical in every facet of their faith and ministry, as the ultimate example for Christians to emulate. The trail-blazing testimony of our pioneering Christian ancestors challenges us to imagine a time when faith and fellowship were not just about believing in certain doctrines and doing “Christian” things, but also about living like Jesus lived.

Finish Line Faith
$14.99

A Call to Finish Well

We all want to give up sometimes. But following Christ is a marathon, not a sprint. The apostle Paul knew this better than most. In the letter we now call 2 Timothy, Paul offers timely advice to a seemingly overwhelmed disciple. These words have encouraged generations of Christians to endure despite overwhelming pressure.

Matt Proctor, a seasoned Bible scholar and well-known college president, unpacks this important book of the Bible in Finish Line Faith, the first book in the Everyday Exposition Series from OCC Press. Proctor draws on his own experience leading churches and a deep knowledge of God’s Word to help Christians realize the biblical and practical applications of Paul’s exhortations.

Each of the twelve chapters includes discussion questions to help individuals or groups gain a deeper understanding of this important letter and God’s work in their own stories. We all might feel overwhelmed at times, but we can endure with the reinvigorating power of Christ.

The Everyday Exposition series by OCC Press offers books that guide readers through the Bible book by book and are great for personal or small group study. While not traditional commentaries, these concise books are faithful to the text of the Bible, highly readable, and applicable to every believer.

Kingdom Of Power
$24.99

Simple. Practical. Powerful. That’s the gospel of the kingdom! Wherever God’s kingdom rules on earth, it is visibly demonstrated.

The kingdom of God is His will exercised on earth as it is in heaven. Each time Jesus announced the good news of the kingdom, sin, sickness, demons, poverty, and death could not remain. Likewise, Jesus did not authorize the church to preach a gospel of mere words. He empowered us to proclaim the good news with supernatural evidence of miracles, healings, and deliverances. We are carriers of the kingdom, which is revealed in and through us by the Holy Spirit.

The kingdom is a reality today-not just in the future-and it may be applied to each circumstance we encounter in life. Through the studies in The Kingdom of Power (Spirit-Led Bible Study), you will learn how to…

*Enter the kingdom of God
*Demonstrate God’s existence through tangible evidence
*Manifest healings and deliverances
*Expand the kingdom in your God-given “territory”
*Drive out the kingdom of darkness
*Overcome the “impossible”
*Rule on earth as God’s king and priest

Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21). The only thing you need to do is to demonstrate it here and now!

This book is designed as a stand-alone Bible study. It may be completed independently by individual students or be used in a group setting, such as a Bible study, a Sunday school class, a course on the foundations of the Christian faith, or a prayer group.

Additional Info
Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage does not come flagged up under a heading of “marriage”. It’s not just the famous “marriage passages” that shape a gospel-centred marriage, but the whole Bible-story of God’s good creation, humanity’s wicked rebellion and God’s gracious redemption.

To understand why marriages struggle-as they all do-we need to understand the nature of our sin. To make marriages work, we need to understand how to apply the truth about God and His salvation.

This study guide on Christian marriage focuses on how the Gospel shapes the practical realities of everyday life. Author Tim Chester lifts the lid on many of the common pressure points that modern couples face, and shows how a proper understanding of the Gospel can shape a response.

Exploring The Mind Of God
$19.99

God’s Thoughts Toward You Are Filled with Love

Exploring the Mind of God reveals the thoughts and plans of our Creator-Father as revealed in the deeper meanings of Hebrew words in Scripture, with reflections on related Greek and Aramaic terms as well.

Hebrew teacher Chaim Bentorah highlights both Old and New Testament passages that reveal the loving nature of God, as opposed to the vindictive nature that is commonly portrayed.

Chaim says, “The foremost thought that expresses the mind of God toward humanity is His love for us in Christ Jesus.”

Each of the sixty devotional readings features a specific passage of Scripture, followed by an investigation of key words in the original languages, all pointing to the eternal purposes of our loving heavenly Father. Use as an inspiring daily devotional that will draw you closer to the Lord, a deeper word study into biblical Hebrew, or both.

You don’t even have to be familiar with a word of Hebrew to be greatly blessed by these insights. Chaim opens up the biblical passages while ultimately pointing us to enter more fully into a loving relationship with our Lord.

Linguistics And Biblical Exegesis
$24.99

We rarely think about the way languages work because communicating in our native tongue comes so naturally to us. The Bible was written in ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek–languages no modern reader can claim to have a native understanding of. A better understanding of how language works should help us understand the Bible better as we seek to discern the original intent and meaning of each biblical author. In this book, you will get a basic introduction to the field of linguistics–its history, its key concepts, its major schools of thought, and how its insights can shed light on various problems in biblical Hebrew and Greek. Numerous examples illustrate linguistic concepts, and technical terminology is clearly defined. Learn how the study of language can enhance your Bible study.

Which Version Is The Bible
$16.88

An alarming expose’ documenting the reasons for the differences between the modern translations of the Bible and the historical translations of the Bible such as the 1611 King James Bible, and other older Bible versions. Numerous illustrations of these significant differences are presented, and the myth that the differences in modern versions are mainly due to synonym choices and language changes is dispelled.

The casting aside of the traditional Greek New Testament text which is the basis of the historic versions by Tyndale, Luther, Coverdale, and others is meticulously documented. Also carefully documented is the process which produced the radically different Greek text of the modern versions including an analysis of textual criticism. The completely unscientific basis of the methods of textual criticism are also exposed, and evidence that the traditional Greek text is actually much older than the newer critical text of the modern versions is presented. The work is carefully footnoted and includes a complete and comprehensive bibliography and index. By Floyd Nolen Jones

Understanding The Purpose And Power Of Men (Expanded)
$16.99

The male is in crisis. Traditional roles once gave men stability and continuity from generation to generation. Today, the world is sending out conflicting signals about what it means to be a man. Many men are questioning who they are and what roles they fulfill in life-as a male, a husband, and a father-leaving them frustrated and causing them to live far below their potential. Best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe examines cultural attitudes toward men and addresses critical issues such as:
*How can men gain their footing in the ever-shifting environment of cultural expectations?
*What does it mean to be male?
*What definition of masculinity should men adopt?
*What roles should men fulfill-in the workplace and in the home?
*What do gender roles have to do with the male’s purpose?
*What are the differences between males and females?
*How are men and women meant to relate to one another?
*How can a man build a better life for himself, his family, and the world?

When men understand the purpose God has given them and the true design of their relationship with women, they will be free to fulfill their destiny and potential. Expanded edition with study guide material included.

Ransom For Many

Mark 10:45 is the key that unlocks the Gospel’s unique focus on true discipleship. Learn how Jesus’s faithfulness is both a summons and pattern for all who carry their cross and follow him.

Do Miracles Happen Today
$7.99

Lots of extraordinary stuff happens in the Bible. People walk on water. People touch handkerchiefs and are healed. People disappear into the sky. Did these really happen? What was their purpose?

And do miracles happen today? How do we respond if someone says they’ve seen a miracle happen? Should we hold healing services? What can I say to a child about praying for healing? How should we react when prayers for healing aren’t answered?

In this warm and accessible book, Tim Chester looks at the Bible’s view of the existence and purpose of miracles and gives a careful and balanced view on whether healings and other miraculous things happen today.

It will help Christians to explore these questions and others regarding miracles, signs and wonders, and know how to pray.

Includes additional questions on:
– Why did Jesus tell people not to tell others about his miracles?
– How should I respond when I hear a claim that a miracle has happened?
– Should we hold healing services?
– What can I say to a child about praying for healing?

Questions Christians Ask are short, readable books which clearly explain how the Bible answers the tough questions Christians are asking.

Letters From Jesus (Audio CD)
$29.99

“In Revelation 2:2, Jesus tells the church in Ephesus something intimate-Google Street View intimate. He says, ‘I know your works’ (Oida ta erga sou). Four words don’t seem like much, but in the Greek, it packs a punch…. Jesus chooses the Greek word oida, which expresses total, comprehensive knowledge. It is intimate knowledge that comes from being up close and personal. This knowledge isn’t hazy on the details. It doesn’t struggle to remember. It preserves the particulars. In the mind’s eye, everything is sharp and clear, like a well-taken photograph.” -Chris Palmer

Letters from Jesus: Studies from the Seven Churches of Revelation explores Christ’s warnings to the seven most prominent churches in Asia Minor in the book of Revelation. These letters date back to 95 A.D., but they help us make a fascinating discovery about civilization: life hasn’t changed that much over the last two millennia.

Author Chris Palmer illustrates the truths contained in the Letters from Jesus using modern, everyday examples. The host of the popular podcast Greek for the Week, he unpacks Greek words and phrases in these verses from Revelation with humor, joy, and biblical scholarship.

Why study Greek, even just a little bit? As Chris explains, looking at the New Testament in the original language in which it was written can offer us some beautiful insights into God’s Word. “It’s like reading the Bible in high definition,” he says. Also, “studying God’s Word in the original language forces us to approach it with reverence and awe, humbling ourselves to obey what it says, whether it’s something we want to hear or not.”

Apocalypse Of John Among Its Critics
$34.99

Should Christians be embarrassed by the book of Revelation?

The Revelation of John has long confused and disturbed readers. The Apocalypse of John among Its Critics confronts the book’s difficulties. Leading experts in Revelation wrestle honestly with a question raised by critics:

*Did John delight in violence? (Dana M. Harris)
*Was John a chauvinist? (Kulli Toniste)
*Was John intolerant to others? (Michael Naylor)
*Was John antisemitic? (Rob Dalrymple)
*Did John make things up about the future? (Dave Mathewson)
*Did John advocate political subversion? (Mark Wilson)
*Did John misuse the Old Testament? (G.K. Beale)

Engaging deeply with Revelation’s difficulties helps the reader understand the book’s message?and respond rightly. The book of Revelation does not need to be avoided or suppressed. It contains words of life.

Fallen Angels Giants Monsters And The World Before The Flood
$28.99

Do You Have Questions About the World Before the Flood?

Does the Bible Really Explain the ‘Unexplainable’?

Are we really living “in the days of Noah” as some prophets have said?

How are the events of Noah’s Ark and the Flood relevant to the last days?

Are rebellious, fallen angels masquerading as aliens and UFOs today?

In this book, Rick Renner — historian and Bible teacher with extensive knowledge of New Testament Greek — clears up some rampant erroneous theories while uncovering brand-new revelations from the Bible. He uses archaeological findings, the writings of Church fathers, trusted historical documents, and Scripture to answer these and other questions, such as:

*When was the first recorded rapture? What does it tell us about the rapture of the Church?

*Are the “sons of God” in Genesis and the fallen angels the same thing?

*Who were the watchers God assigned to guard mankind after the Fall?

*Was Methuselah’s life a prophetic demonstration of God’s longsuffering that preceded judgment?

*What did God’s promise of “120 years” really mean?

*Where is Noah’s Ark today? And why did God save only Noah and his family?

*Are there any consequences of unholy living today?

Using photos from his own expeditions in the lower Ararat mountains — along with other empirical evidence of the Ark’s location — Rick captivates readers in this book and brings the Bible to life concerning this favorite childhood story. Containing hundreds of photos, illustrations, and endnotes, Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters, and the World Before the Flood is “a museum in a book” and a must-have edition to refreshand refire your walk with God!

Reino De Poder Estudio Biblico – (Spanish)

Sencillo. Practico. Poderoso. !Asi es el evangelio del reino! Donde quiera que el reino de Dios gobierne en la tierra, es demostrado visiblemente.

El reino de Dios es su voluntad ejercida en la tierra como es en el cielo. Cada vez que Jesus anuncio las buenas nuevas del reino, el pecado, la enfermedad, los demonios, la pobreza y la muerte no podian permanecer. Por eso mismo, Jesus no autorizo a la iglesia a predicar un evangelio solo de palabras. El nos empodero para proclamar las buenas nuevas con evidencias sobrenaturales de milagros, sanidades y liberaciones. Somos portadores del reino, el cual es revelado en y a traves de nosotros por el Espiritu Santo.

El reino es una realidad hoy-no solo en el futuro-y puede ser aplicado a cada circunstancia que se nos presente en la vida. Por medio de estudios como El Reino de Poder: Como Demostrarlo Aqui y Ahora (Estudio Biblico Guiado por el Espiritu Santo), aprendera a…

Entrar en el reino de Dios

Demostrar la existencia de Dios por medio de evidencias tangible

Manifestar sanidades y liberaciones

Expandir el reino en el “territorio” que Dios le dio

Echar fuera el reino de las tinieblas

Superar lo “imposible”

Gobernar en la tierra como rey y sacerdote de Dios

Demons : What The Bible Really Says About The Powers Of Darkness
$24.99

The truth about demons is far stranger–and even more fascinating–than what’s commonly believed.

Are demons real? Are they red creatures with goatees holding pitchforks and sitting on people’s shoulders while whispering bad things? Did a third of the angels really rebel with Satan? Are demons and “principalities and powers” just terms for the same entities, or are they different members of the kingdom of darkness? Is the world a chaotic mess because of what happened in Eden, or is there more to the story of evil?

What people believed about evil spiritual forces in ancient biblical times is often very different than what people have been led to believe about them today. And this ancient worldview is missing from most attempts to treat the topic.

In Demons, Michael Heiser debunks popular presuppositions about the very real powers of darkness. Rather than traditions, stories, speculations, or myths, Demons is grounded in what ancient people of both the Old and New Testament eras believed about evil spiritual forces and in what the Bible actually says. You’ll come away with a sound, biblical understanding of demons, supernatural rebellion, evil spirits, and spiritual warfare.

Book Of Revelation Decoded Revised Edition (Revised)
$19.99

As the world grows darker so do our eyes to the things to come.

After reading this book, you will understand the connection between the Old Testament and End Times, what to expect during the last days, and how to stand firm in Christ even when facing opposition.

As the world grows darker and darker, many people have a sense of impending doom. In this revised edition, Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider includes updated facts, statistics, and additional insights, showing how prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes.

Decoding the Book of Revelation, Rabbi Schneider shows how the end-time events prophesied in the New Testament book correspond with the teachings of the Torah and the Hebrew prophets. In this prophetic guide, you will not only discover how the Passover foreshadows the great tribulation, but you will also uncover what the Hebrew prophets reveal about:

*The Anti-Messiah
*Heaven and Hell
*The Millennial Kingdom
*The Days of Armageddon
*The Return of the Messiah

The signs of the times are flashing like neon lights, pointing to Jesus’s imminent return. Now more than ever, the church needs to recognize what is happening and prepare for what is yet to come. The time to prepare for the battle is not when you’re in the battle. It’s before the fight. This book will help readers discover what to expect during the last days and how to stand firm in Christ even in the face of opposition

Analytical Red Letter Chronology Of The Life Of Christ
$19.95

This study is for the student who wishes an uncluttered reference source, one free of distracting and often erroneous remarks, comments, personal judgments, etc.; one in which the footnotes lack faith ravaging references to supposed “scribal errors”, “emendations”, “restorations”, “corrections”, etc., in the Text or a supposed Synoptic problem (see Appendix A).

Toward that end, a “standard” harmony of the Gospels has been constructed which will address this subject in a Scriptural and scholarly, yet easy to understand, manner. To obtain optimal direct comparison capability, the computer word processor has been fully utilized so that key words in a given Gospel narrative may be placed alongside the same wording in the other Gospel accounts (a feature which was impractical heretofore). The computer also facilitated the inclusion of red lettering for the words of Christ. For these reasons, this “analytical” harmony will prove advantageous as a study aid over previous works such as Kerr’s (1903) and Robertson’s (1922), long held as standard references in the field.

What Is The Gospel
$14.99

This newest addition to the IXMarks series presents a clear, straightforward statement of the gospel, the third mark of a healthy church. What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God. Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Paul’s systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.

Lords Prayer : Matthew 6 And Luke 11 For The Life Of The Church
$24.99

Since the beginning of Christianity, the Lord’s Prayer has occupied an important place in the lives of Jesus’s disciples, for it is the prayer Jesus himself taught them. Like other biblical prayers, the Lord’s Prayer contains words people offer to God. But since this prayer is from Jesus and is part of Scripture, it is also God’s Word to people. When we say this prayer, not only are we speaking to God, but God is also speaking to us.

Highly regarded New Testament scholar William Wright shows how this classic text can speak afresh to the life of the church today. He integrates critical exegesis, theological exposition, and Christian spirituality to explicate the theological substance of the Lord’s Prayer. His goal is to help readers come to know God and love God and others more deeply through a focused study of this important Christian prayer.

The Touchstone Texts series addresses key Bible passages, making high-quality biblical scholarship accessible for the church. The series editor is Stephen B. Chapman, Duke Divinity School.

Your Glory : A Biblical Study
$21.99

Like the blind men who touched different parts of the elephant and thought they knew the whole, we touch just a piece of God’s glory and think we know what it is. But we can’t agree with each other, so we must not know. Or we try to wrap it up in one big idea: God is great, full of splendour! But does that help?

Moses asked God, “Show me your glory!” And God shouts to be known. Yet, just like the boy in The Emperor’s New Clothes, a voice inside me cries out, “I don’t see it! There must be more!” Do you see and understand God’s glory? If we did, we would be terrified, undone, never the same. And I long for you to know it that way, too.

This study examines every use of the key words used for glory in the Old Testament and the New. We will see the lie about glory that changed everything. Yet the truth about glory is both dangerous and good. It binds us to God in an indivisible eternal bond. It is our identity and purpose for being. It gives to us a magnificent burden that is just the beginning of seeing and knowing glory.

Strange Scriptures : Deciphering 52 Weird, Bizarre, And Curious Verses From
$24.99

What’s that Scripture mean?

Ever asked yourself this question when you’re reading through the Bible? We all have. Whether we’ve been saved a long time or are just beginning to follow Christ, there are portions of Scripture that go over our heads. They’re puzzling. Odd. Complicated. Strange.

*What’s baptism on behalf of the dead? (1 Corinthians 15:29)
*Wasn’t it rude for Jesus to call a woman a dog? (Mark 7:27)
*If Jesus is eternal, why is he called the firstborn? (Colossians 1:15)
*How can we do greater works than Christ? (John 14:12)

Scriptures like these are not preached from the pulpit as commonly as our favorite texts. You rarely hear about them in your small group Bible study. And it’s definitely not easy to explain what they mean.

Think of it like this: if the Bible were an apple orchard, the Scriptures we’re most familiar with are like the luscious Honey Crisp. They’re our favorites. Like, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” and “Love never fails.” Oh, the meaning and relevant application from these just gushes forth into our lives.

But strange Scriptures are more like crabapples. Consider this one: “For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment” (2 Peter 2:4). Not quite a Honey Crisp, is it? There’s juice in it, all right, but if you want meaning and life application, you have to do a whole lot more squeezing.

That’s where Strange Scriptures comes in. Within each short study, author Chris Palmer has aimed to represent scholarship, Greek exegesis, and life application to bring forth a full-bodied study to nourish your soul.

Septuagint : Clouding Gods Word
$12.98

Most of academia does not consider the Jewish Scriptures and the Old Testament portion of the Christian Bible to be one and the same. According to them, the original text of this part of God’s Word has been lost and is in need of “recovery.” To restore the original text, they maintain that the Hebrew Masoretic Text, the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the Septuagint must be compared.

The Septuagint (LXX) is an ancient translation of the Old Testament from Hebrew to Hellenistic Greek. This is almost the only hard fact concerning this translation that is truly verifiable. As the LXX is supposedly over 1,100 years older than the most ancient surviving Hebrew manuscripts, and as it often reads differently from them, text critics presume that the LXX was translated from an older, thus more reliable, Hebrew text.

Believing the LXX contains readings that have been lost or corrupted in the Hebrew Scriptures, critics hold that the Septuagint may be used in determined places to “correct and restore” these adulterated readings. Such is the status that the LXX holds in Old Testament text critical circles.

Indeed, one constantly reads that the Septuagint was “the” Bible of the early Christians. But-we wonder-is such veneration by academia justified? Does the New Testament frequently quote from the LXX instead of the Hebrew?

Rather than offering fanciful theories, this fresh critical analysis examines the above questions by presenting numerous side-by-side comparisons of the LXX Greek and Hebrew Masoretic text, as well as significant mathematical contrasts. This approach allows readers to discover the truth for themselves. The result will be surprising.

Purple Basics : Understanding The Message Of The Gospel In The New Testamen
$14.99

The Purple Basics is the “prequel” to The Purple Book-the bestselling Bible study covering biblical foundations. The focus of this study is what has been called “The Gospel Creed”:

The gospel is the good news that God became man in Jesus Christ. He lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died . . . in our place. Three days later He rose from the dead, proving He is the Son of God and offering the gift of salvation and forgiveness of sins to anyone who repents and believes in Him.

Millions have attended church and studied Scripture yet lament they lack confidence to share the gospel. This study will give you both the confidence and clarity to communicate this life-changing message with others. Christ’s death and resurrection provide the truth that the gospel is “public truth”-that Jesus actually lived, died, and rose again from the grave.

You can spend a lifetime studying Scripture and barely scratch the surface of God’s knowledge. Yet He has communicated enough for you to know that He exists and how you can enter into a relationship with Him.

Each chapter includes:

*Introductions to the Gospel Creed
*Bible study questions to understand the gospel
*Gospel summaries to master the message

Time Of The Signs
$16.99

“What will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” –Matthew 24:3

The disciples could not wait. Christ had said He would bring an end to human rule and establish His kingdom. But when? Eager to learn how the future would unfold, they asked Him about the signs of His coming and the end times. What should they expect to take place?

In The Time of the Signs, pastor Barry Stagner explores the events that will precede Christ’s return. As he describes Earth’s final days, he answers the many questions people ask, including:

*Why is the rebirth of Israel the most significant sign that the end times are near?

*What other important clues, evident today, reveal the closeness of the tribulation and Christ’s return?

*Where does the rapture fit in the chronology of all that will occur in the last days?

*After Christ returns, what is next?

As you study the signs Jesus foretold, you’ll see amazing evidence that we are living in the very time of these signs–and gain a clear understanding of what will happen, and when.

Impact Of Ordinary Women In The Bible
$10.99

Ordinary Women, Extraordinary God

In book two of Don Wilkerson’s series The Impact of Ordinary People, the names listed in each chapter are not well-known women of the Bible. But that’s the theme of this unique devotional.

Adah, Bilhah, Jehosheba, and Huldah are just some of the ordinary women who accomplished extraordinary things for the glory of God. Scripture contains a supporting cast of men and women often overlooked in Bible study. This devotional brings thirty lesser-known women to life with short but thought-provoking lessons. Each woman deserves attention for her significant impact, but it’s God’s redemption story that is highlighted and woven through the lives of these ordinary women.

For those seeking discipleship material for personal growth, this book will aid individual and small group Bible study.

This devotional is also a helpful resource for pastors and Christian leaders to develop biblical lessons or one-of a-kind sermons.

Surprised By The Parables
$18.99

Jesus’ parables can’t simply be interpreted, they must be experienced.

In the gospels, Jesus used parables to teach transformative lessons and convey deep spiritual truths about the kingdom of God. But he often used them to confront and challenge his audience as well, forcing them to open or close their hearts to the kingdom.

Jesus understood the power of stories, but there are some things lost in translation when we try to interpret those same stories thousands of years removed from their original context. The unexpected twists and surprises in the parables might be missed by a modern audience because they’re unfamiliar with the underlying points of reference.

In Surprised by the Parables, Michelle Lee Barnewall explores the ancient context these parables drew from. These stories of grace reveal many of the mysteries central to God’s character, and understanding the ancient world behind them will help us see the parables from a new perspective.

Women Remembered : Jesus’ Female Disciples
$14.99

Inspired by their popular Channel 4 documentary Jesus’ Female Disciples, historians Helen Bond and Joan Taylor explore the way in which Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Mary, Martha and a whole host of other women – named and unnamed – have been remembered by posterity, noting how many were silenced, tamed or slurred by innuendo – though occasionally they get to slay dragons. Women Remembered looks at the representation of these women in art, and the way they have been remembered in inscriptions and archaeology. And of course they dig into the biblical texts, exposing misogyny and offering alternative and unexpected ways of appreciating these women as disciples, apostles, teachers, messengers and church-founders.

At a time when both the church and society more widely are still grappling with the full inclusion and equality of women, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the historical and cultural origins of Christianity.

Analytical Red Letter Harmony Of Four Gospels
$22.88

Return to the Historical Text (Authorized version)

An alarming expose’ documenting the reasons for the differences between the modern translations of the Bible and the historical translations of the Bible such as the 1611 King James Bible, and other older Bible versions. Numerous illustrations of these significant differences are presented, and the myth that the differences in modern versions are mainly due to synonym choices and language changes is dispelled.

The casting aside of the traditional Greek New Testament text which is the basis of the historic versions by Tyndale, Luther, Coverdale, and others is meticulously documented. Also carefully documented is the process which produced the radically different Greek text of the modern versions including an analysis of textual criticism. The completely unscientific basis of the methods of textual criticism are also exposed, and evidence that the traditional Greek text is actually much older than the newer critical text of the modern versions is presented. The work is carefully footnoted and includes a complete and comprehensive bibliography and index.

Letters From Jesus
$24.99

“In Revelation 2:2, Jesus tells the church in Ephesus something intimate-Google Street View intimate. He says, ‘I know your works’ (Oida ta erga sou). Four words don’t seem like much, but in the Greek, it packs a punch…. Jesus chooses the Greek word oida, which expresses total, comprehensive knowledge. It is intimate knowledge that comes from being up close and personal. This knowledge isn’t hazy on the details. It doesn’t struggle to remember. It preserves the particulars. In the mind’s eye, everything is sharp and clear, like a well-taken photograph.” -Chris Palmer

Letters from Jesus: Studies from the Seven Churches of Revelation explores Christ’s warnings to the seven most prominent churches in Asia Minor in the book of Revelation. These letters date back to 95 A.D., but they help us make a fascinating discovery about civilization: life hasn’t changed that much over the last two millennia.

Author Chris Palmer illustrates the truths contained in the Letters from Jesus using modern, everyday day examples. The host of the popular podcast Greek for the Week, he unpacks Greek words and phrases in these verses from Revelation with humor, joy, and biblical scholarship.

Why study Greek, even just a little bit? As Chris explains, looking at the New Testament in the original language in which it was written can offer us some beautiful insights into God’s Word. “It’s like reading the Bible in high definition,” he says. Also, “studying God’s Word in the original language forces us to approach it with reverence and awe, humbling ourselves to obey what it says, whether it’s something we want to hear or not.”

Word From The Beginning
$26.99

And the Word became flesh

John’s Gospel famously opens with a poetic prologue about the Word. However, after these initial verses, the theme of God’s Word incarnate seems to fade.

The silence is only apparent. In The Word from the Beginning, Bruce G. Schuchard reunites John’s prologue with the rest of his Gospel. What Jesus does in the Gospel embodies who Jesus is in the prologue. Jesus’s words and actions reveal and unfold his unique identity as the Word. Jesus is indeed God’s Word enfleshed.

This theological reading of John’s Gospel unifies Jesus’s identity, words, and work, opening up implications for Johannine Christology.
