Words Of Christ
$25.99In Words of Christ Michel Henry, an important French philosopher, asks how Christ can be both human and divine. Also, how can we as humans experience Christ’s humanity and divinity through his words? Are we able to recognize certain experiences or words as divine? How do divine words differ from human words? Henry approaches these questions from the angle of material phenomenology – the study of reality as we experience it. Startling possibilities – and further questions – emerge as Henry systematically explores these enigmas. For example, do divine phenomena possess their own kind of phenomenality, and do we have access to this other realm? Henry’s perspective on Christ’s words – here translated into English for the first time – is highly original and interdisciplinary in nature, in keeping with other volumes of the Interventions series. This was Henry’s last published work before his death in 2002.

Mission In The Old Testament (Expanded)
$25.88Walter Kaiser questions the notion that the New Testament represents a deviation from God’s supposed intention to save only the Israelites. He argues that–contrary to popular opinion–the older Testament does not reinforce an exclusive redemptive plan. Instead, it emphasizes a common human condition and God’s original and continuing concern for all humanity. Kaiser shows that the Israelites’ mission was always to actively spread to gentiles the Good News of the promised Messiah. This new edition adds two new chapters, freshens material throughout, expands the bibliography, and adds study questions to the text.

Trinity Of Sin
$19.99Many African Christians can’t explain what sin is, how it affects people, or how it came into the world. The best they can offer is a mix of popular opinions, traditional views and guesswork—far from what Scripture teaches. Drawing on his understanding of Africa’s traditional beliefs and social and spiritual values, Turaki will explain the Scriptural teaching about the origin, nature, effects and power of sin and God’s solution in terms that make sense to Africans.

Daniel And The Time Of The End
$19.36The Angel of God told Daniel, “…shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end…” (Daniel 12:4). Then in verse 9 he said, “… the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.” Most of us believe we are now in “…the time of the end”, so is the seal to be opened? A surprising drive from Southern California to our home in Central California was made most intriguing by an unexpected “visitation” from an unseen guest in the car, and during a brief few intense minutes a revelation came that identified the parts of Nebuchadnezzar’s image and the beasts of Daniel’s later vision in their end-time significance. It was stunning, and in the years since, corroboration has been received that has made it evident that the seal may well have been broken. Sir Isaac Newton devoted much time seeking to get into these sealed prophecies of Daniel and was completely thwarted. It would only be opened when God, Himself, would open it by revelation, not by academic or intellectual pursuits. Read and judge for yourself.

Truth About The Lordship Of Christ
$17.99A focused, powerful message about Jesus, his relationship with God the Father, and his centrality in the Christian life.
Can I just raise my hand one Sunday in church and forever call myself a Christian?
Is there more to this life and faith than just believing Jesus died for me? What does it mean to make Christ “Lord of my life”?

Step by step, he walks through the impact of God’s sovereignty, our submission, the characteristics of holy living, and our assurance of salvation.

And it is absolutely worth the cost.
For decades, Dr. John MacArthur has encouraged countless Christians to develop a deeper understanding of the Bible and a greater respect for God’s truth.

Truth About Forgiveness
$12.99A focused, powerful message about forgiveness and its necessity in living a joy-filled Christian life.
“The greatest measuring rod of love in the life of a Christian may be forgiveness, because God showed His love to us in terms of forgiveness.” -John MacArthur
Does anyone really want to forgive? Or admit that we need forgiveness? Whether we’re giving or receiving, forgiveness is hard. It seems unfair. It feels unnatural. And as best-selling author and pastor John MacArthur demonstrates, forgiveness apart from Christ is unnatural. It is only as we understand our need, Christ’s power and example, and what it really means to love that we can embrace two of the most liberating acts of love: forgiving and being forgiven.

Truth About Grace
$17.99A focused, powerful message about God’s character and the purpose of grace in the Christian life.
“Is the experience of God’s grace in your life a thrilling thing? Just thinking about the fact that God, by His own sovereign plan, decided to be gracious to me is overwhelming. There is nothing greater than receiving grace upon grace.” -John MacArthur
Simple definitions can make grace feel like an obvious-even mundane-concept. Nothing could be further from the truth. Grace is the defining feature of the Christian faith. Once we understand how undeserving we are and how much favor we’ve been given, grace becomes shocking, thrilling, inspiring, and contagious.
Best-selling author and pastor John MacArthur illuminates this profound concept with verse upon verse of Scripture. He also shows that misunderstandings about grace have led to some of the church’s greatest problems, perhaps because grace is her most precious gift.

Sacred Word Broken Word
$24.99Following up on his controversial book God’s Word in Human Words, Kenton L. Sparks further articulates his view of Scripture in Sacred Word, Broken Word – this time aimed at a more popular audience. Compulsively readable, Sparks’s case steadily unfolds as he unpacks the reasons for embracing his view of Scripture: “God’s written word, which is good, nevertheless includes evil.” As a result, he contends, Scripture, like creation, is in need of redemption.
Although Sparks has abandoned a view of Scripture that many evangelicals hold dear – the doctrine of inerrancy – he remains committed to dialogue within evangelicalism about this issue. This book is sure to cause further passionate debate about the nature of Scripture and how to interpret and apply it.

Luther And The Stories Of God
$31.76Martin Luther read and preached the biblical text as the record of God addressing real, flesh-and-blood people and their daily lives.

Leading Lutheran scholar Robert Kolb highlights Luther’s use of storytelling in his preaching and teaching to show how Scripture undergirded Luther’s approach to spiritual formation. With both depth and clarity, Kolb explores how Luther retold and expanded on biblical narratives in order to cultivate the daily life of faith in Christ.

Lost In Translation The Book Of Revelation 3
$20.49Lost in Translation The Book of Revelation: Two Brides, Two Destinies is a worthy follow-up to its predecessors, Rediscovering the Hebrew Roots of Our Faith and The Book of Revelation through Hebrew Eyes. This is the final in a three-volume series that covers the entire book of Revelation in awe-inspiring detail, expounding and expanding on familiar verses in God ‘s Word that have been misunderstood and misconstrued for many years. Or, in some cases, linking together verses and concepts that have been repeatedly overlooked. In this volume the authors explore the second half of Revelation from the perspective they established so clearly in Volumes 1 and 2 that of a Hebrew God speaking through a Hebrew believer to an audience that was intimately familiar with the Hebrew language, culture, customs, and concepts that form both the literal and the metaphorical foundation for vast portions of Revelation. In the process they answer a multitude of important questions, including the following: Whose Bride are you? Can you change sides or are you stuck forever in a relationship you really don t want? What is the ancient framework by which you can identify most of the players? Who or what is the False Messiah? Who or what is the False Prophet? What is the Second Death? Who will experience it? How does it differ from any other death? These are just some of the questions to which you ll find plausible, sensible, biblically sound answers in this volume.

Many Witnesses One Lord
$16.00The author writes: This book has been written to say something that I have long felt, and long wished to say. We have heard much of the unity of the New Testament, and that unity is something which no one will wish to deny. But in the New Testament there is also diversity. There is no one standardized religious experience; there is no one stereotyped interpretation of the Christian faith and message. There is a company of men witnessing to what Jesus Christ has been to them, and still is. So in this book I have tried to see what Christ and Christianity and the Christian life meant to the different men who wrote the books of the New Testament.

Understanding Wisdom Literature
$23.99Israelite wisdom, literature, David Penchansky argues, records the disputes of ancient sages over basic human questions: What is the purpose of life? Is God just? Why do we suffer? Does God even exist? Penchansky sees confl icting answers to these questions in Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Ben Sira, and the Wisdom of Solomon — and does not try to harmonize them. Instead, he fi nds meaning in the very dissonance and contradiction within these texts.
Employing the latest scholarship yet remaining accessible to nonspecialists and students, Penchansky strikingly focuses on the “big picture” behind wisdom literature — making it easy for readers to follow and appreciate these challenging texts — without undermining each book’s distinctive features. In the process, Penchansky opens up this rich and fertile vein of Israelite thought and demonstrates the renewed relevance of ancient Hebrew wisdom for today.

Who Is Jesus
$23.99New Testament scholars have long debated the historical identity of Jesus and the development of Christology within the church’s history. In this book Carl E. Braaten reviews the history of the three historical Jesus quests – the different approaches scholars have taken to understand Jesus. Against the implication that the “real” Jesus has been lost and needs to be found, Braaten suggests that “the only real Jesus is the One presented in the canonical Gospels” and “any other Jesus is irrelevant to Christian faith.” Braaten openly confesses his Lutheran theological convictions even as he conducts a thorough and well-reasoned study and encourages readers to engage enthusiastically with contentious questions such as these: What can we know about Jesus of Nazareth? How do Christians come to believe in Jesus? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Why do Christians believe that Jesus is “truly God”? Is Jesus unique – the one and only way of salvation? Why did Jesus have to die on the cross? Was Jesus the founder of the Christian church?
