Portrait : Jesus Christ In The Book Of Revelation
$18.99
Paul Mellow was born to missionary parents in China and completed high school there. After graduating from Prairie Bible Institute in Canada, he pastored independent Bible Churches in the Midwest and Southwest. For the past 35 years he has made it a habit to read Revelation 4 and 5 every Sunday morning to focus his mind on the grandeur of the Lord Jesus Christ. This led to a thorough study of Revelation, and to the writing of Portrait. He found a wide-spread belief in the church that Revelation is difficult or impossible to understand, in spite of the fact that God called it “The Revelation.” He also found that people thought the book consisted of dark predictions about a terrible future, although God called it, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ.” Worse still, he found that many Christians tend to ignore Revelation, even though it is the only book in the Bible with a specific promise of special blessing to readers (Rev; 1:3). Mellow sees the book as John’s magnificent portrait of Jesus Christ in his various roles. First John identified Jesus as identical with Jehovah in the Old Testament (Rev; I), then as the Lord of the Church (Rev; 2-3), The King of Heaven (Rev; 4-5), The Judge (Rev; 6-20), The Good Shepherd (Rev; 7), Creator of the New Heaven and New Earth (Rev; 21), and finally; the Bridegroom (Rev; 21-22). The terrible events on Planet Earth form the dark background against which the artist paints his brilliant portrait of the Lord Jesus Christ whom he loved so well. Paul and Bernadine Mellow live in Carlsbad, NM. Their two daughters live in Friendswood, a suburb of Houston TX.

Life Lessons From James
$14.99Add to cartDo your Monday actions reflect your Sunday worship? How about your claims to faith? Is your life full of noticeable changes and actions? James, the half-brother of Jesus, wasn’t impressed with talk. He knew that a life of faith was all about actions that revealed a difference in a person’s life. For him, it was not that works save the Christian, but that they mark the Christian. In his letter, he boldly deals with practical issues of faith not bound by culture or place. He shows the importance of living a genuine life of faith. His message is bare-knuckled as he encourages, challenges, and confronts, offering practical words and admonitions to live out our faith.
The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God’s Word. Each lesson includes an opening reflection, background information, an excerpt of the text (from the New International and New King James versions), exploration questions, inspirational thoughts from Max, and a closing takeaway for further reflection. The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.
