Message Of Malachi
$20.00Add to cartThe book of Malachi fittingly sits in Christian Bibles as the last book of the Old Testament, which it assumes, summarizes, and applies. Yet it also looks forward to the New Testament with its promises of the coming reign of God.
A striking feature of the book is the people of God’s inconsistent faithfulness. God’s people neither serve God wholeheartedly nor turn entirely away in blatant disobedience. But God persists in speaking to them, showing his grace in close proximity to their sin. Malachi reveals God’s unfailing love and reminds God’s people to keep this conviction central.
Part of the beloved Bible Speaks Today series, The Message of Malachi offers an insightful, readable exposition of the biblical text and thought-provoking discussion of how its meaning relates to contemporary life. Used by students and teachers around the world, the Bible Speaks Today commentaries are ideal for those studying or preaching the Bible and anyone who wants to delve deeper into the text.
This revised edition of a classic volume features lightly updated language, current NIV Scripture quotations, and a new interior design.

Message Of Joel Micah And Habakkuk
$25.00Add to cartWhere is God in times of disaster? How can God allow suffering? What are God’s people to do about moral decay in society? People throughout the ages have pondered these questions, and three of the Bible’s minor prophets-Joel, Micah, and Habakkuk-offer special insight on these perennial problems.
David Prior’s passage-by-passage exposition of these three books provides careful study and measured application for today’s church. The people of Joel’s day were devastated by a locust plague, which Joel said warned of the coming Day of the Lord. Micah rebuked a culture of corruption and moral evil. Habakkuk cried out to the Lord on account of a society bent on violence. All three point to a transcendent God who gives hope in times of uncertainty.

Message Of 1 Corinthians (Revised)
$30.00Add to cartThe ancient city of Corinth was well-known for its prosperity, diversity–and debauchery.
Any church planted there was bound to have problems. Indeed, snobbishness, divisiveness, insensitivity, doctrinal looseness, and overexuberance were all too common in the Corinthian church. When the apostle Paul heard about these difficulties, he was grieved because he had founded the church and felt closely tied to it. He wrote them an intense and pointed letter. In this revised Bible Speaks Today volume, David Prior plainly shows the relevance of 1 Corinthians for our times. Along with clear exposition of each passage and information about the letter’s historical background, Prior identifies key principles and applications for today. When we understand the message of this epistle to the Corinthians, all churches may better live out the lordship of Christ in our cosmopolitan world. This redesigned new edition includes updated language and current NRSV Scripture quotations throughout.
