In this concise volume, Brent Strawn addresses ten common "lies" or mistruths about the Old Testament, from perceptions of God's personality (the "angry Old Testament God") to the relevance of the Old Testament for Christians. Discover why stories and laws written thousands of years ago, centuries before Christ, are enriching and indispensable for modern Christians. Written by a leading scholar in Old Testament and designed for easy listening and group discussion, this book will expand your thinking about the Bible's First (and largest) Testament.

Nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus told a simple parable about a family...a father and his two sons. It was a story of rebellion, repentance, and unfathomable grace. The Parable of the Prodigal Son still stands out as a crucial lesson about our struggle with sin and dependence on divine salvation. But there is a part of this story that often goes untold. It’s a message you need to hear. This powerful book provides fascinating new insight into one of the Bible’s most important stories.

Come to the River: A Short Survey of the Bible presents an overview of each book of the Bible in plain English. It is intended to be used as introductory and background material for each book to increase comprehension of the Bible as one cohesive story of God's plan of redemption for mankind. It is a great tool for those new to Bible study, and can also serve as a reference tool for those more familiar. Included with the summary of each book are questions to guide the listener through central themes in each book.

Many Christians view the Bible as a book that they know they should read, but it can be hard to know where to start. If they spend time regularly reading it, it can often feel like a chore to be checked off for the day. What many miss is that the Bible is a sweeping story full of narrative, poetry, and letters—something to be marveled at and enjoyed. In The Epic Story of the Bible, Greg Gilbert aims to teach Christians—or those interested in Christianity—what the Bible is and how to study it.

A purpose of the Eyewitness Bible Series: Acts is to tell some of the information of the book of Acts from different vantage points. Luke said that he made a careful investigation of the facts before writing Luke and Acts. His three primary sources of information probably were his own experiences, written sources, and talking to people who were personally involved. Eyewitness Bible Series: Acts illustrates the stories that he might have heard from a dozen of the characters featured in the book of Acts.

Shocked by the Bible sets the record straight with well-researched, controversial, myth-breaking assertions about what the Bible really does—and doesn’t—say. And guess on which day the Bible says Jesus died. Believe it or not, the Good Book doesn't mention Friday, and even more surprisingly, while the Bible says Jesus rose from the grave, it does not say it occurred Sunday morning. News veteran Joe Kovacs goes on a mission to help both Christians and non-Christians alike find out what the Bible really contains, and what it doesn't.

We are not built to just receive love. We are built to give love. To become tributaries to that great river of life flowing from the heart of God. By design, we are foreordained to be in a pure relationship with God and others for the joy of an abundant life. But how do we build trustworthy connections with faithful and true hearts? The Bridge of Hearts investigates God’s spiritual instructions for our acceptance in the most secret place of his heart.

Jonah’s encounter with a big fish is one of the most widely recognized—and misunderstood—stories in the Bible. In this highly accessible guide to the book of Jonah, Jared Byas invites modern-day listeners to explore the context behind the story and consider the questions Jonah’s early audience faced: questions about the relationship between justice and mercy, what it means to be a worshipper of Yahweh (and who gets to be one), and what happens when God doesn’t act how we would like.

Können Christen nach Erleuchtung streben? Ja! Da wir heute viel mehr wissen, als noch vor 50 Jahren, braucht niemand mehr den christlichen Glauben zu verlassen, um nach Befreiung seines Geistes zu streben.

The Bible is the inspired word of God, but is the Bible we read today the same Bible our ancestors read? For centuries, there were meetings of church leaders to discuss and hash out the contents of the Bible. These included many arguments, disagreements, and controversies before the proper books of the Bible could be decided upon. Questions and curiosities about the Bible are not limited to the nonbeliever.

For centuries, people have memorized and spoken back God's Word to each other in long form with powerful, reckless results for the Kingdom. In fact, up until about 500 years ago, it was our primary means of meditation, since most of us were illiterate. What if we made a conscious effort to revive that experience? What if we reintroduced the radically ancient concept of Active Scripture Memorization back into our homes and churches? One of the keys to first century-style revival is more first century-style Bible study. Memo Devo 2.0 is designed to help you do that.

John Hagee says, "The world as we know it will end, neither with a bang nor a whimper, but in stages clearly set forth in God's word." His latest and most provocative book takes a cue from a cultural icon, the ticking clock. Hagee presents a prophetic "Doomsday Clock" and counts down the minutes--through prophetic events--that must occur before that fateful moment when every unredeemed individual must face God on Judgment Day.

Long-time Bible teacher Kristie Anyabwile discovered as she prepared her lessons that a single inductive approach doesn’t do justice to the variety of genres that make up the Word of God. Because Scripture is a collection of writings that spans 1,500 years, many literary styles are represented, and each must be taken into account for the fullest understanding of God’s Word. Kristie shows you the immense value of studying the Bible literarily—that is, according to the literary style presented in a particular book, chapter, or passage.
