| The Coffee Cup Bible Study Series is a line of Bible study products for women in workbook format that examine the "life and teachings" of certain Bible characters. Each study is to be read over a six-to-eight-week period, and study sections are broken down into short, daily segments designed to fit into readers' busy lifestyles. A writer in tune with the reading habits and tastes of modern readers, Sandra understands the time constraints of most women. With these concerns in mind, Sandra has adopted these studies in such a way that they can be read during brief lulls in a woman's daily schedule that present opportunities for meditation and study (breakfast, lunch, coffee breaks, etc.). |

| Jazz Notes is the literary equivalent of a remix CD-cool sound-bytes strategically crafted from Don Miller's classic Blue Like Jazz, combined with brand new material that offers the author's fans an inside look at some of the unforgettable-and outrageous-characters and stories from the original best seller. Jazz Notes captures the essential Don Miller with non-religious reflections on how Don's incredible spiritual odyssey got started; what happened to Don at one of the most liberal colleges in the world to help him experience faith and grace for the first time in his life; a recasting of Don's marvelous "confession booth" story; and how Don discovered the secret to really loving other people-and himself. Jazz Notes includes a bonus audio CD with Don Miller interview. |

| What if preachers were as contagiously joyful in their preaching as Louis Armstrong was in his playing and singing? As rich in their sermonic renderings as Sarah Vaughan was in her musical vocals? As honest about heartache as Billie Holiday was every time she sang about the blues of life? As alluringly clear as the angelic voice of Ella Fitzgerald? As tenaciously uninhibited in the action of creating as Duke Ellington? Of course, this is too much to ask of people, even those called by God. However, it is not too much to ask this question: Can preaching be enhanced through the metaphor of jazz? Can an understanding of the inner dynamics of jazz--its particular forms, rules, and styles--inform one's practice of preaching as well? Can jazz's simultaneous structure and spontaneity help preachers better understand their own art? The answer to these questions, says Jones, is an unqualified yes. He explains how one can dramatically improve one's preaching through understanding and applying key elements of the musical art form known as jazz. No musical background is necessary; all examples are well explained and tied in with preaching. The key elements include innovation (what one commentator refers to as "the experimental disposition of jazz"), improvisation, rhythm, call and response, honesty about heartaches, and delight. After discussing the reality and role of each of these elements in jazz, and how they can be important for preaching as well, each chapter concludes with five exercises for applying the jazz element to preaching preparation and performance. Drawing on a deep love of jazz and enlivening the discussion with insights drawn from the realities of African American preaching, Jones introduces readers to rich and rewarding possibilities for constructing and delivering the sermon. |

| No other book answers the Jehovah's Witnesses' misinterpretation of Scripture so immediately and shows how to use the same Scripture in leading Jehovah's Witnesses to Christ. |

| We must share not only what we believe as Christians, but why we believe it as well. We must be able to give convincing reasons for our beliefs. "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." (1 Peter 3:25) If you don't know the answer to a question the Jehovah's Witness asks, say, "That's a good question. I'm not sure what the answer is, but I'm going to do some research this week and find the answer. Can we talk about this the next time you stop by?" For further information on how you can help the Jehova's Witnesses, and a complete biblical analysis of their doctrine, refer to the book from which this quick reference guide was produced: Ron Rhodes' Reasoning from the Scriptures with the Jehova's Witnesses (Harvest House Publishers, 1993). Rhodes' book was written to help you answer the Watchtower book Reasoning from the Scriptures. |
