Old Testament Theology
$59.99Add to cartSaul of Tarsus, the impassioned rabbi and persecutor of Christians, had a Damascus road experience that changed his life and helped shape the future of the world. As Paul, writer of some of the meatiest chunks of the New Testament and zealous missionary to the Gentiles, he became one of the most controversial figures in history.
Yet what do we know about the man, other than what’s in the letters that have fashioned the Christian church for 2,000 years? Unless you are a theologian or historian, the answer probably is very little–until now. Walter Wangerin, the highly acclaimed scholar and writer, has breathed new life into this fiery, enigmatic, and passionate creature in what should be celebrated as a seriously good work of literature.The novel, which combines expert knowledge and prophetic imagination, charts the first exhilarating and dangerous years of the church after the death of Christ. It is seen through the eyes of the witnesses–Priscilla, who meets Paul in Corinth; Barnabus, Timothy, and Titus, his companions; James and Simon Peter, the “pillar” of the first Christians; and Seneca, the great Roman writer, statesman, and adviser to Nero.
Wangerin serves up a feast of color and detail that brings the first century–and, even more impressively, the Bible–alive. Whatever your religious persuasion, this book serves as a fine companion to the one of the greatest yet most puzzling stories ever told.

Standing On The Promises Or Sitting On The Premises (Student/Study Guide)
$17.99Add to cartJames W. Moore asks readers a series of challenging questions: Are you standing on the promises, or just sitting on the premises? Do you claim and embrace and celebrate the great promises of God that are underscored again and again in the Bible? Or do you sit lifelessly and listlessly on the remote edges of the church, responding halfheartedly to its message?
In this reissue of one of his best-selling titles, Moore reminds readers of the awesome promises of God that are found in the Bible. On page after page of the Scriptures, God gives generous and gracious promises that believers can claim and rely on. Moore shows that when people fail to lean on God and trust in those promises, they may open themselves to many frustrating, embarrassing, even painful experiences. However, when they truly “stand on the promises,” they can discover the richness and fullness that God intended for their lives.

Images Of The Spirit (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99Add to cartHow do you picture the Holy Spirit?
Our imagination is likely to run to something like a vague fuzzy cloud. Or perhaps we think of an invisible, impersonal force. No wonder the Holy Spirit is often called “it.” While Christians affirm that the Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, we struggle to think of him as a person at all.
The Bible is clear that the Holy Spirit is a person. But how can human beings understand who he is? Scripture helps us by giving us strong word pictures of the Spirit as wind, fire, a counselor, anointing oil and more. As you go through these eight Bible studies by Dale and Sandy Larsen, you will find that your mental picture of the Spirit comes into focus. And even better, you will find that you can have a real relationship with the third person of the Trinity as you experience the power, comfort and gifts that flow out from the Spirit.

Learning From Jesus
$14.99Add to cartBecome a Student of the Master
To Christians, Jesus is many things: the Son of God, the pivotal figure in whom we put our trust and who speaks on our behalf, a companion in the life of faith. But Jesus is also an incredible example of how to lead a faithful life. Jesus, as a human, walked on earth and confronted the same struggles that we face. Our primary mission as his followers is to learn from him — to become his apprentices. In this book we seek to further our apprenticeship by studying everything from Jesus’s interactions with those around him to the revolutionary wisdom recorded in the Gospels. Learning from Jesus is conveniently organized for individual or group study, and each section of this guide leads you further down the path to true discipleship.

Description Reviews Excerpt Table of Contents
Among the classics of ancient Greek and Jewish literature, the story of Luke-Acts has few rivals. Yet we moderns miss much of the meaning of Luke’s two-part drama because we read it like any other text and not as it would have been heard by ancient listeners – in public performance by a skilled storyteller.
The Way according to Luke unlocks the big picture of Jesus’ mission by attending to the repetition, patterns, and other clues of oral narrative. In this single volume Paul Borgman lays out a holistic view of the organic unity between Luke and Acts while demonstrating that the meaning of Luke-Acts is uniquely embedded in its narrative. Borgman’s distinctive work makes available both the satisfying pleasure of reading the Bible as great literature and the rewarding insight gained from receiving Scripture as it was originally delivered.
