| Throughout history, many of the most acclaimed novelists wrote great stories that were influenced by their Christian worldview. Never before have these writers been collected into one volume.As the title indicates, for those who have "eyes to see" the underlying themes will be clear. Others will simply enjoy these stories for the unforgetable characters and unexpected plot twists. The stories in this volume include: "A Father's Story" by Andre Dubus "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor "Silent Passengers" by Larry Woiwode "The Blue Cross" by G. K. Chesterton "The Christmas Wife" by Helen Norris "The Honest Thief" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky "The Story of the Other Wise Men" by Henry Van Dyke "What Men Live By" by Leo Tolstoy "The Final Martyrs" by Shusako Endo |

| Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into a modern context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it can speak powerfully today. |

| No other reference series gets to the heart of the Old Testament as efficiently as the Holman Old Testament Commentary. When a reader's time allows, this series offers a detailed interpretation based on the popular NIV text. When time is short, the HOTC delivers an essential understanding of the Old Testament with unsurpassed clarity and convenience. Ezekiel's prophecy is set in the turbulent years of Jerusalem's destruction. He was the only Israelite prophet to carry out his ministry entirely outside Israel's homeland. When Jerusalem fell in 586 B.C., Ezekiel's message changed. Judgment had fallen, and he was vindicated as a true prophet among his fellow exiles. With few exceptions, thereafter, his messages were proclamations of hope. But Ezekiel emphasized always that Israel's future restoration would be a work of divine grace. |

| One of the major themes of Scripture is God's dependability and His covenant love to His people in good times and bad. Ezra and Nehemiah together show how God chose Cyrus, a pagan king, to defeat the Babylonians and to be His servant in restoring many of his people from captivity in Babylon back to Judah. Esther is the thrilling account of how God raised up a young Jewish woman to become queen of the Persian Empire. Knute Larson and Kathy Dahlen have made these marvelous books accessible to pastors and lay Bible teachers alike for preaching, teaching, and personal Bible study. |

| For countless generations, patchwork quilts have been a visible act of love. Pieced together from bits and pieces of fabric, they represent the handiwork and devotion of the quilter - and a deep and comforting connection with the person they're presented to.In the Prayers and Squares Ministry, though, the quilt has become something more - a visible act of prayer. It's made not just with artistry but with purpose; not just with fabric but with prayer. From the time the fabric is purchased to the time the finished quilt is given away, a prayer quilt is prayed over by scores of people, from the person who cuts the fabric to the person who inserts the ties. And - most importantly - when the quilt is completed, it's placed before a congregation and every member is invited to bind a tie and say a prayer for the person the quilt will ultimately comfort. |
