| In a simple chapter book set in the Irish immigrant neighborhood in St. Louis in the 1850s, 10-year-old twins Annie and William O'Shaughnessy disobey their parents and wander off to explore the riverfront. They soon find themselves lost, hungry, cold, and wet in the scary streets. They are rescued by an old bell ringer, Levi Dust, a character based on an actual historical figure who was hired by the city to find lost and missing children. As Levi Dust leads the twins home, he tells them his story. The telling is purposive, and the small line drawings have an old-fashioned cuteness, but children will relate to the simple historical adventure, even if there is never the slightest doubt that the twins will make it safely home. |

| The Book of Leviticus is indispensable for teaching the Christian the depth and heinousness of human sinfulness. It clearly highlights the doctrine of human total depravity. The chasm that separates a holy God from an unholy humanity stems from this pervasive iniquity. Yet, Leviticus holds out a promise that mankind can be made right with God and live according to his statutes. It truly underscores the love of God for his people, and that he has a plan of salvation for them. But one also realizes that the cultic system of Leviticus is insufficient and can not make people right with God. It points out that something greater is needed. It demands a final atonement. Thus, more than any other book of the Old Testament, Leviticus foreshadows and adumbrates the coming of the Messiah and his wondrous work of atonement. |

| The NIV Application Commentary on Leviticus/Numbers shows how two neglected biblical books recounting an epic journey to freedom illuminate and challenge modern conceptions of God. Through vivid visual imagery of rituals, laws addressing tough issues for real people with real problems, and narratives that range from exultant to gut-wrenching, the reader learns what it means to interact with the Lord and live according to his holy principles as part of a redeemed community of faith. The Israelites' story of covenant experience with God is our story because we share the same divine covenant partner. Leviticus and Numbers reveal what God is like in relation to human beings and how they can effectively interact with him across the boundary between the seen and unseen realms. Although the biblical books are clothed in the garb of an ancient culture and its institutions, their rituals, narratives, and laws encapsulate timeless principles that apply to modern life. We too can participate in transactions with God and profit from their experience because it parallels our own on a deeper level: The Lord continues to deliver us and transforms us into "a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God" (1 Peter 2:9) so that he can dwell with us and be our God (Rev. 21:3). |

| The beginning Greek student soon faces a vexing dilemma: a myriad of vocabulary words to learn and little time to learn them. One of the century's leading Greek scholars offers a solid solution by organizing Greek words according to their frequency of appearance in the New Testament. Lexical Aids for Students of New Testament Greek helps students maximize their study by concentrating on the words that appear most often in the Greek New Testament. This venerable resource, which has served beginning language students for over fifty years, is divided into two parts. Part one lists New Testament words according to their frequency of occurrence. The usefulness of such lists is obvious, writes Metzger. By consulting them the beginner will not, so to speak, waste his time memorizing words that occur only rarely in the New Testament. He can be assured that when he has learned, say, the first 513 words in the lists he then knows all of the words (other than proper names) that occur at least 25 times in the New Testament. The second part of Lexical Aids for Students of New Testament Greek features another helpful list, grouping Greek words according to their root. Also included are appendixes that provide tools for learning Greek prepositions and the principal parts of verbs. |
