Job : A Man Of Heroic Endurance
$24.99Best selling author Charles Swindoll unveils the life and trials of Job and helps readers understand the key to developing heroic endurance. The trials of Job are legendary. One righteous man suffering so many calamities, so much heartache. Though many have heard about Job and his trials, not all people truly understand what those trials were about and what God was trying to accomplish through them. Job himself was confused about it all. What did I do to deserve such suffering? he cried out. Eventually, though, through tough questions and unexpected answers from God, Job gained new insights on suffering, patience, and endurance. And, more important, he learned how deeply he was loved by God, a lesson available for every Christian wounded by or in the midst of a trial.

Apostle Peter
$20.61For us today, we can see many similarities between our lives and Peter of the gospels. In many ways his story mirrors ours. For instance, how many times are we unsure of ourselves? How often are we prone to shame and guilt? How often do we become overly enthusiastic, often speak before we think, are rash in our behavior, at times becoming more stubborn than a mule, and may even get a little hot-tempered? More than we would like to admit, I imagine. Yet before we write ourselves off as hopeless, consider this. Jesus never saw Peter as hopeless. What Jesus did see was potential, potential that would be realized through one simple touch of the Holy Spirit. Jesus knew that the rushing winds of Pentecost would make all of the difference in the life of Peter, us, and the world. The purpose of this book not only is to explore a before and after transformation of Peter by examining his words in the gospels, but also for us to seek transformation by contemplating how his life reflects our own.

Diamonds In The Rough (Student/Study Guide)
$24.36God used the lives of His Old Testament servants to advance history toward His planned revelation of His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As He did, He also provided a written record for us to study and use as warnings, exhortations, and boundaries for our own lives. Although our circumstances have changed since ancient biblical times, the people represented in them still look much the same as you and I! This study provides women with a unique approach to learning and applying God’s principles for daily living, by examining some of the key lessons that are to be seen from the lives of many Old Testament characters. As we see their attributes and flaws, and study how God interacted with them, we can appreciate how His own standards of holiness are never compromised, although His guidance is tempered with great love and mercy. Join Cindy Lasiter in this seventeen-week study, which can be used for personal study or dynamic group discussion. You too will gain great hope and direction as you see how even God’s most incredible servants in the Bible were, at best, diamonds in the rough!

Mary And Me
$15.61The title, “Mary and Me,” refers to Mary Magdalene, a prostitute written about in the Bible. Her story is found in the four Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. She became a dedicated follower of Jesus after He cast seven devils from her. Of all the people in the Bible, she is the one with whom I feel strongest kinship. Not a lot is revealed about her life, but I have a feeling that it was filled with a form of pain and suffering very similar to mine. Similar also, to the pain felt by thousands of other women who have experienced abuse and the need to feel loved. Mary Magdalene found the only true love in the arms of our Savior. He delivered us from the pain and loneliness of our dark existence. The love Mary felt for Jesus was nothing at all like what “The DaVinci Code” would have you believe. Her love was pure, sweet, and innocent-a spiritual love for the One who delivered her from the evil that had enveloped her. Only those who have experienced such a life transformation can understand the love she felt toward Jesus. I do understand it. It is my hope that this book will help lead others out of the pain and lies that hold their lives hostage and into the loving arms of Jesus Christ. These arms stand ready to replace the sad darkness with a supernatural radiance. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving Mary Magdalene. Her story can help the rest of us see that no matter what our life has been, we can still receive Your forgiveness and saving grace. I was dirty inside and out, yet You loved even me!

Joseph : A Man Of Integrity And Forgiveness
$19.99In Great Lives: Joseph, Charles Swindoll reveals to us a man buffeted with the same kinds of problems we face today, whose tenacious faith in God ultimately won him great honor and achievement. No family today is more dysfunctional than Joseph’s was. No one faces greater temptation than that which Potiphar’s wife offered Joseph. No faith is challenged more severely than was Joseph’s on death row. Yet Joseph stood firm, exemplifying what is possible when ordinary people maintain their connections with God. Like an epic novel filled with intrigue, tension, and torrential emotions, Joseph’s triumphiant story touches us all. Great Lives: Joseph presents a fresh look at one of the most intriguing characters in the Old Testament and focuses on the virtue of forgiveness in the face of deceit and betrayal.

Elijah : A Man Of Heroism And Humility
$21.99Exploring the depths of Elijah’s fascinating life as a prophet of God in Great Lives: Elijah, Swindoll does not gloss over his human weaknesses; rather, he presents an honest picture of this ordinary man whom God transformed into His personal spokesman to confront idolatry and evil in the ancient world. Alone, Elijah faced off with over four hundred prophets of the false god Baal-and won. Yet, on another occasion, he became so terrified of a woman that he ran for his life. He was Elijah–the man in a whirlwind, the humble hero. In a world that has lost its way, due in part to the lack of balanced, godly leadership, we are more than ever in need of a few Elijah-like men and women who are not afraid to live courageously among their peers as they walk humbly with God.

Judas Iscariot Revisted And Restored
$18.73This book is not an apologetic for the sins of Judas. But the author of JUDAS ISCARIOT: REVISITED AND RESTORED is convinced that there is more to the Judas story than has been told. Rogers is further convinced that until we finally understand the unlikely relationship between the “sinner” Judas and the “Savior” Jesus, we will never fully appreciate God’s response to our own faults and failures. Many are convinced that God’s grace i.e. “unmerited favor” must somehow first be merited (an oxymoron). With Judas, Rogers demonstrates that God’s forgiveness is unearned and unlimited.

Women In The Gospel Of John
$14.99When Dan Brown’s novel The DaVinci Code was published, it did something that many biblical scholars had not been able to do. It posed difficult questions about the role of women in Jesus’ life and in the early church, and brought these questions to the forefront of conversations. Judith Kaye Jones contends that the gospel of John does not just include stories about women, it is structured around stories of women. In this unique testament, women and their encounters with Jesus provide the framework for the central message of Jesus.

David : A Man Of Passion And Destiny
$15.99In the first and best-selling Great Lives book, Great Lives: David, Dr. Swindoll explores the Old Testament shepherd, king, and psalmist, to answer the question, “What does it mean to be someone after God’s own heart?” In many ways he was a most extraordinary man-intelligent, handsome, abundantly gifted as a poet, musician, warrior, and administrator. Yet in other ways he was a most ordinary man-often gripped by destructive passion, rocked by family chaos and personal tragedy, and motivated by political expediency. How did David become the national hero of God’s chosen people? Why is he the one character in the Bible described as a “man after God’s own heart”? Chuck Swindoll explores the many facets of David-from his teenaged years and dysfunctional family life to his overwhelming passion for God.

It is the account of God working mightily in one life and how godly attributes like courage, dignity, wisdom, and strength can thwart evil and replace terror with joy. Chuck Swindoll celebrates the story of Esther and reveals how every Christian can live a transformation story.

All The People In The Bible
$50.99All the People in the Bible really delivers on its title: you’ll find literally all of the Bible’s characters in this comprehensive and fascinating reference work. From the first entry on Aaron to the final entry covering Zopar, Richard Losch details each person in a lively narrative style that will have readers sticking around page after page.
The bulk of the work is made up of entries covering familiar and not-so-familiar figures found in Scripture. However, unlike most collections of this kind, the focus falls more on expanding our knowledge about the lesser characters. Losch explains that so very much has been written about the luminaries of Scripture that he chose to focus instead on those who are less well known and on some of the less familiar aspects of well-known characters’ lives. Losch’s new and intriguing look at all the people in the Bible is anything but a dry reference work. This is a book to dip into and enjoy over and over.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Heroes And Villains Of The Bible 1
$26.23Studying the lives of men and women of Scripture is a satisfying and useful investigation for all true followers of God. As Augustine once expressed, “The sacred record, like a faithful mirror has no flattery in its portrait.” The people of the Bible are exposed as the sinners that they are. While looking at heroes and villains of Scripture, the reader will not only learn about character flaws and attributes, but will discover practical doctrines that encourage us to live for Christ. The historic characters of the Bible teach us that choices have consequences and that the life we have been given must be dedicated to God’s glory, not ours.

Memorias De Dos Hijos La Histo – (Spanish)
$15.99En Memorias de dos hijos, uno de los maestros de la Biblia mas queridos de Estados Unidos le hace profundizar en Lucas 15 como nunca nadie lo ha hecho, revelando apreciaciones perspicaces de la cultura de la epoca de Jesus con un desenlace inolvidable. La parabola del hijo prodigo (Lucas 15.11-32) se ha predicado desde casi todos los pulpitos del mundo y es conocida por muchos que leen y aprecian la Biblia. La historia es muy poderosa porque representa, en terminos claros e inspiradores, nuestra lucha con el pecado, la necesidad de arrepentimiento humilde y la inagotable misericordia y amor del Padre. Lamentablemente, muchos cristianos dirian que no tienen nada nuevo que aprender de esta joya de las Escrituras. Ha perdido su brillo. Pero en Memorias de dos hijos, John MacArthur restaura el resplandor de este pasaje, ofreciendo un fascinante trasfondo historico y revelando un sorprendente final que los lectores nunca han oido antes.
In Memorias de dos hijos, one of America’s most loved Bible teachers takes you deeper into Luke 15 than ever before, revealing insights into the culture of Jesus’ day and an unforgettable ending.
The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) has been preached from nearly every pulpit in the world and is known by many who read and cherish the Bible. The story is so powerful because it presents, in clear and inspiring terms, our struggle with sin, the need for humble repentance, and the Father’s inexhaustible mercy and love. Unfortunately, many Christians would say that they have nothing new to learn from this gem of Scripture. It has lost its luster. But in Memorias de dos hijos, John MacArthur restores the brilliance of this passage, giving engrossing historical background and unveiling a surprise ending readers have never heard before.

1st To Follow
$26.95One of the first things that Jesus did in his ministry was to reach out to twelve individuals and draw them into a circle of close companionship with him. This series is about those twelve apostles, their relationships with Jesus and with each other, and what the dynamics of that community can teach us. By studying those whom Jesus selected and what he did for them, to them, with them, and through them, we can learn much about how we can we experience the Holy in our own day. Jesus did not wait for people to be perfect in order to call them into the circle of God’s love. As we look at those that Jesus called, and consider ourselves as part of that enlarging circle, we gain not only a deeper sense of our own reality, but also a deeper sense of how Christ would like to work with us.

Lost Women Of The Bible (Student/Study Guide)
$21.23The women of the Bible have a strong, relevant message for women today that has been lost underneath layers of traditional interpretations and the expectation that God does his most important work through men. Crucial dimensions of their lives have been muted, forgotten, or passed over. Their strong voices are silent at a time when women are searching for answers that will hold up under the pressures and challenges confronting them today. This book brings the women of the Bible into the twenty-first century by recovering their powerful message for contemporary women.
You know the women of the Bible, but you don’t know them like this…
It’s easy for Christian women-young and old-to get lost between the opportunities and demands of the present and the biblical teachings of the past. They live in a confusing world, caught in the crossfire between church and culture. Although home and family still remain central, more women than ever, by choice or by necessity, are blending home, career, and ministry. They need strong biblical role models to help them meet these challenges.
Building on solid scholarship and a determination to wrestle honestly with perplexing questions, author Carolyn Custis James sheds new light on ancient stories that brings the women of the Bible into the twenty-first century. This fresh look at the women in the Bible unearths surprising new insights and a powerful message that will leave readers feeling challenged, encouraged, and deeply valued.

Daughters Of Miiam
$48.33There are untold numbers of female prophets hiding in the masculine grammar and androcentric focus of the Hebrew scriptures. There are women-prophets in the communities around biblical Israel, existing for hundreds of years and even a thousand years before the Israelite and Judean prophets recorded their messages. The rabbinic and Christian fathers analyzed and found more women in the scriptures who function as prophets than the biblical authors identify. All of these female prophets have an intimate connection with the God of Israel; they express that connection by singing, dancing, drumming, speaking with and for God, waging war, performing miracles, exercising statecraft, and giving birth. Each of them is a daughter of Miriam, the mother of all women-prophets.
Women prophets gave powerful voice to Yahwist faith at the formative moments in ancient Israel’s development, and were expected in biblical visions of the future. Now they come to the foreground as Wilda C. Gafney explores prophetic practices in ancient Israel, different models for women’s sacred roles in the Near Eastern environment, and changing understandings of women’s leadership in early and rabbinic Judaism as well.

New Perspective On Paul (Revised)
$49.99This collection of essays highlights a dimension of Paul’s theology of justification which has been rather neglected in earlier decades, specifically that his teaching emerged as an integral part of his understanding of his commission to preach the gospel to non-Jews and that his dismissal of justification “by works of the law” was directed not so much against Jewish legalism but rather against his fellow Jews’ assumption that the law remained a dividing wall separating Christian Jews from Christian Gentiles. The long opening essay interacts with critiques of this new perspective on Paul. Dunn seeks to carry forward the debate on Jewish soteriology, on the relation of justification by faith to judgment “according to works,” on Christian fulfillment of the law, and on the crucial role of Christ, his death and resurrection. Full of detail and intriguing thought, Dunn’s collection will make brilliant reading for any scholar of the New Testament.

Paul Judaism And The Gentiles (Revised)
$42.99In its first edition (1986), this book was the first monograph-length response to the groundbreaking work of E. P. Sanders. Francis Watson shared some of the concerns of what came to be called the “new perspective on Paul,” but took an independent line on several points. Now, in this new, completely rewritten edition, the discussion has been extended, updated, and clarified, in order to point the way beyond the polarization of “new” and “old” perspectives on Paul. The Paul who comes to light in these pages is both agent and thinker, apostle and theologian. He is a highly contextual figure, yet his account of Christian identity continues to shape the church’s life to this day. He is the founder of mainly Gentile, Christ-believing communities, separated from the synagogue; and yet he can see this distinctive existence as an authentic response to Jewish scripture and tradition, as fulfilled in Christ. He is a many-sided figure, transcending all our attempts to categorize him or to co-opt him for our own favored courses. Far longer than the original edition, Paul, Judaism, and the Gentiles also contains a new introduction and an extensive appendix.

What Paul Meant
$24.00In his New York Times bestseller What Jesus Meant, Garry Wills offered a fresh and incisive reading of Jesus’ teachings. Now Wills turns to Paul, whose writings have provoked controversy throughout Christian history. Upending many common assumptions, Wills argues eloquently that what Paul meant was not something contrary to what Jesus meant. Rather, the best way to know Jesus is to discover Paul. In this stimulating and masterly analysis, Wills illuminates how Paul, writing on the road and in the heat of the moment, and often in the midst of controversy, galvanized a movement and offers us the best reflection of those early times.

Fragile Stone : The Emotional Life Of Simon Peter
$20.99A Fragile Stone explores the dynamic life of the apostle Peter, revisiting well-known passages and revealing unexpected insights. Author Michael Card sketches out Peter’s life, showing how the impetuous fisherman of the Gospels was transformed into the pivotal leader of the early church. “The ultimate reason for getting to know Peter,” Card explains, “is so together we might better know Jesus. For the story of Peter is the story of Jesus. Perhaps, if you and I do our best, the same will be said of us someday.”
Peter’s life serves as a model for Christian discipleship, offering hope that we likewise can be changed as Jesus calls us to follow him.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Lost Gospel Of Judas
$19.99With the discovery of the Gospel of Judas came an outpouring of hyperbolic language, both negative and positive. Alongside the overwhelming opinions of historians and scholars was the quiet bewilderment of people who simply weren’t sure what to think, confusion that wasn’t helped by vast media attention. In The Lost Gospel of Judas, Stanley Porter and Gordon Heath attempt to set the record straight. They begin with a look at the initial responses to the announcement of the gospel’s existence, then provide a brief history of Judas himself as seen in the New Testament and in church history, and of Gnostic philosophy. Further sections consider other recent textual finds and examine the discovery, content, and authenticity of the gospel. They also delve into the relationship this new gospel has with the New Testament canon and contemplate the “Lucky Winner” theory of canonical history. The Lost Gospel of Judas sifts through all the evidence, presenting the results with more than enough scholarship to be respected and enough clarity to be easily understood.

Yhwh Pharaoh And Moses
$43.73The story of the Exodus from Egypt is of fundamental importance, both in the Old Testament and beyond. However, it also contains issues that are theologically problematic for many readers, especially concerning the actions of God. Why does God send a series of devastating plagues on Egypt? How do we understand the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart? What do the answers to these questions say about the character of God?
This study addresses these questions, taking into account the complex interaction of the presuppositions of faith and responsible textual interpretation. The approach is narrative?theological and canonical?paying attention to such factors as speaker, addressee, purpose, and reception, a picture is built up of the different and developing relationships between God, Pharaoh, and Moses. This complex interaction provides a way to read and understand the wider plagues story, including the plagues and hardening of the heart within it.
The picture that emerges is challenging rather than comfortable?a God who is responsive, speaking and acting to confront others to make the appropriate response to him.

In this inspiring book he gives us meditations about sixteen men from Scripture, some of them well known, others not even named.
