Apples of Gold in Settings of Silver: Applied Christianity 301 is the third and final part of a three-part series. It contains the third set of compilation of my favourite scriptures and quotes on different topics that would pass as words aptly spoken. The entire series was inspired by Proverbs 25:11 – “A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” (NIV) It is the truth spoken to the body of Christ in love that will make every one of us grow and become like Him; with each and every one getting involved. Each chapter concludes with a section called “Apple Seeds”; these “apple seeds” are nuggets intended by the author to emphasize key points of the chapter and then invites the reader to identify their own “Apple seeds” so the reading of the book is not just a ritual but an experience. So I recommend that you “read with a pencil!” Walk The Talk, Live The Faith, Build On The Rock

A collection of true stories; some written by Paul Burkhardt, including his testimony, and some written by his wife, Jo Anne Burkhardt, including her testimony.

This book compares New Testament and Rabbinical texts in order to recover the oral tradition accompanying the written Biblical text. Although New Testament Greek is a hellenistic idiom, it reflects a Semitic rather than a hellenistic culture. Therefore, Culbertson looks to Jewish sources in order to understand the Greek text, rather than to the philosophical, methodological, and literary sources of hellenistic culture. The author uses specific examples to illustrate various literary theories and to prove the value of a Listener Response Analysis of Gospel texts. A dozen parables are discussed in detail.

Maybe some people study prophecy for the thrill of the sensational, like adrenaline addicts chasing the next sky-dive rush. Certainly, promises given hundreds or thousands of years before their fulfillments are remarkable. However, sensationalism is not the intended purpose. And some people may think that prophecy is an ancillary, nonessential part of theology. But the premise of this book is that God-given prophecy has a far more profound purpose than sensationalism and plays an essential, inseparable part in the gospel message. Now if faith in Christ is all that is necessary for salvation, why is prophecy essential? The angel messenger who gave the Revelation to John answered that question. The angel told John, "These are the true sayings of God." Then John fell at the feet of the angel to worship him. The angel responded, "See you do it not, for I am your fellow servant and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" (Rev. 19:10). The angel explained that all prophecy connects to Jesus. Intrinsic to Jesus is prophecy, as is all scripture. That which predicts or speaks of His divine and human nature, His life and miracles, His death and resurrection, and His earthly and heavenly kingdom are all interconnected--they are all a part of His story, His testimony, His person. Therefore, Christ is the unspoken basis for this specific blessing given to readers of the Revelation: "Blessed are they that read and hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written in it, for the time is at hand" (Rev. 1:3). Though there is rich reward in every book of the Bible, no other gives the aforementioned promise of blessing.

This book is the most extraordinary, unique, and heartfelt book you will ever read. It is the true life experience of Kevin written in poetic format. It is a story of love and pain, street life, and crime. The author tells of his ups and downs and struggles and triumphs, even his deepest, darkest secrets. Hes a very spiritual person, so he talks a lot about spirituality and belief and truth as well as disbelief. You can profoundly feel not only the authors pain but also his sense of determination to overcome his hardships and struggles. It is his hope, prayer, and more sincere wish that this book will genuinely help you and that through his own trials and tribulations, you will not only see his growth and development but that you will also take a look in the mirror. In doing so, try to reflect on your life and how youre living, knowing that one wrong decision could not only affect you for years to come but can also affect the people that love you or profess to love you the most. Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver will keep you intrigued and eager to turn each page. It is a brilliant, beautifully written book that is the beginning of a legacy.
