How well do you know His story? By the time a Christian reaches young adulthood, he is likely to be quite familiar with every major story in the Bible, but not from having studied them in any particular order. Ask an average Bible student to arrange certain characters and events chronologically, and the results are telling. Telling God’s Story looks closely at the Bible from its beginning in Genesis to its conclusion in Revelation. By approaching Scripture as one purposefully flowing narrative, emphasizing the inter-connectedness of the text, veteran college professors Preben Vang and Terry G. Carter reinforce the Bible’s greatest teachings and help readers in their own ability to share God’s story effectively with others. Ideal for classroom settings, this second edition of Telling God's Story now features all supporting charts, photographs, and illustrations in full color!

Here's a thoughtful, probing exploration of why Christians get stuck in the place of complacency, dryness, and tedium -- and how to move on to new levels of spiritual passion! Buchanan shows how the majority of Christians begin their spiritual journey with excitement and enthusiasm -- only to get bogged down in a "borderland" -- an in-between space beyond the "old life" but short of the abundant, adventurous existence promised by Jesus. Citing Jonah, he examines the problem of "borderland living" -- where doubt, disappointment, guilt, and wonderlessness keep people in a quagmire of mediocrity -- then offers solutions ... effective ways to get unstuck and move into a bold, unpredictable, exhilarating walk with Christ. Inspired writing!

The Christian life is based upon the irrevocable promises of God, the enjoyment of all that God has prepared for us in Christ, and the transformation that results from the loving discipline of the Spirit. In The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Watchman Nee draws upon the experiences of the Old Testament patriarchs and presents their lives as an allegory of the complete Christian experience. From our response to God's promises by faith to our ultimate transformation into sons who are conformed to the image of Christ, we must pass through the same life experiences of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Like Abraham, we have been given the promise of God for the inheritance; like Isaac, we can enjoy all that God has planned for us in Christ His Son; and like Jacob, we must experience the discipline of the Holy Spirit for the sake of our growth and transformation.

Much has been said about why Jesus died. This book focuses on why Jesus lived. God with Us: Encountering Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew shows that Jesus didn’t just come to be our teacher, a miracle work or prophet, or even just Israel’s savior and redeemer. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. Notable Scripture scholar Edward Sri leads readers on a faithful exploration of Jesus’s kingdom-building mission and how it revealed God presence, which remains with us today. Helpful discussion questions are provided for personal and group study. This newly expanded edition of the study originally titled The Mystery of the Kingdom: On the Gospel of Matthew is an outstanding introduction to the first gospel.

God Never Breaks His Promises

This book is Volume 1 of “God’s Divine Plan for Humanity” series. You are a very important part of God’s divine plan for humanity; God wants to draw you closer to him and bring you to that place where you reach the full potential of your life, far beyond your imaginable dreams. When you read this book, you will never look at your life and the world the same again; you will start to see the world and understand the Bible better than ever before. This book will take you to God’s creative library, step-by-step to unveil the mysteries of God’s plan for humanity, using the language of heaven. The knowledge you gather from this book will draw you closer to God just like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, and Joshua, all used the secret of the language of heaven to draw closer to God and fearlessly fight the spiritual forces of this sinful world. Learn the hidden secrets of the supernatural language of heaven and see the world through the eyes of the author of life - Jesus Christ. When you look at the world, do you believe there is something seriously wrong with the whole system? Do you believe there is something not natural that for some inexplicable reason, is holding humanity hostage? You can analyze it from all political angles, but the truth is the world is controlled by supernatural spiritual forces and unless you understand what it is and how it operates, you will remain a slave to the system. The Bible teaches in Psalm 24:1-2 that God owns the world and everything in it. If God owns it all, then he is in absolute control and God has the tools to set you free from the satanic forces of this sinful world. The battles we face in this world are not natural. Any attempt to use natural weapons to fight these battles is a big mistake; you cannot use natural weapons to fight a supernatural battle. When you believe the enemy and look at life through the eyes of the enemy, you become engulfed and enslaved by the enemy; but when you believe in Jesus and look at life through the eyes of Jesus, you will ultimately become united to Jesus. In life, what you believe, determines what you see. The battle is in your mind. The choice is yours! “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33.
