Street Bible
$13.99
An engaging new translation of the Bible into the language of the city. Rob Lacey reworks the metaphors, situations, and speech patterns of the Bible to create a real impact on the modern, urban reader. Taking the key texts of the Old and New Testament, Rob Lacey employs the MTV dialect of today’s urban city to create a new and original look at what may be over-familiar stories. Through its modern style, The Street Bible acts as an accessible and exciting introduction to the Bible for the uninitiated reader while giving a fresh perspective to the church community. A sample from Romans 7 reads: ‘So what’ll we say then? Are the Ten Written Rules wicked? No! We’d never have known what ‘wicked’ was, unless the rules had been published and circulated. Rule 6 says: “Don’t drool over what’s not yours,” but of course, my dark side takes its cue from this and what happens? I’m gagging for stuff that’s not mine and never should be.’ A translation that will bring the timeless message of the Bible into the 21st century with the impact it had in the 1st century.

7 Last Words
$18.99Based on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.
Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
*”Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
*”Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
*”Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
*”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
*”I thirst.”?
*”It is finished.”?
*”Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
