| As followers of Christ we desire to know His mind, to grow to be like Him, to truly understand and accept His teachings. But to do any of these things we must start by learning His teachings.Originally compiled by Rosemary Jensen (former Executive Director of Bible Study Fellowship) for her personal use, Living the Words of Jesus presents 96 topics specifically addressed by Christ. For each topic, this alphabetical study guide includes the principles, promises, and commands spoken by Christ. Each study ends with reflections written by Jensen, based primarily on Scripture.Living the Words of Jesus is both an excellent resource for in-depth study on the words of Christ and a quick reference to timely topics crucial to living life as Christ intended. |

| When painful or frustrating circumstances invade your life, it's easy to wonder why. Why does life so often seem unfair? Why doesn't our all-powerful God stop the pain and suffering--not just for you--but for all His children? The truth is, we live in a fallen world filled with fallen people, and we cannot escape hardship and pain. Somehow difficult times are a part of God's plan and they serve His purposes. In this six week study you'll examine what the Bible says about suffering and why God allows it. Through the stories of many who persevered through times of testing, you'll discover how to find joy even when life seems unfair. You'll learn how to handle loss while glorifying God in the midst of your pain. And you'll find the peace that comes from trusting in the One whose strength is made perfect in your weakness. |

| An introduction to all four Gospels that is meant to bridge the gap between scholars well-schooled in the historical, socio-cultural, rhetorical, and literary techniques of studying narrative and interested lay readers. It is an excellent resource for the lay reader and anyone undertaking scripture studies.The Gospels resonate deeply in the minds and hearts of the many people who have dedicated some form of study of these narratives. But a problem remains. Some of us have been equipped to read these texts in their original language, aware of the socio-cultural, historical and religious setting that produced them.We are well schooled in the rhetorical and literary techniques that determine the spirit and the shape of the narratives as a whole, and the formative parts of each narrative. But most Christians have not been equipped with these tools. What follows is an attempt to bridge that gap for the interested lay reader of the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John.--From the preface by the authorHow do we reach into the Gospels today, and how do the Gospels reach back out to us? In the light of all that has been written over the ages, is there a fresh approach that speaks to the twenty-first century Christian? Fr Francis J. Moloney offers his experience and scholarship to lead the lay person through such a guide. The reader is brought up to date about how a Gospel is read as `theological narrative' today, a markedly different understanding from the past. Each Gospel is reviewed as a whole, followed by a focused study of a particular section in which Moloney demonstrates how each Gospel author works the text to his own theological purposes. The final chapter outlines the general intellectual and academic history which forms the background to this position before Moloney makes his own case about the nature of Jesus, the Son of God and the Son of Man and the role of our discipleship today.This book is a thought-provoking yet readily accessible invitation to study the Gospels at an intermediate level. It is highly suitable for personal or group work. |

| Bombarded by the good intentions of others, singles find themselves in a mad pursuit to find their "better half" instead of living the whole life God intended for all of His children. Their obsession to lose the "single" label may rob them of His richest gifts.Retracing the steps of such Bible characters as Abraham, Moses, and Jacob, who all tried to reason and bargain with God, Widder shows us how to look at the single life through a fresh perspective--God's view of an incredible opportunity.Living Whole Without A Better Half blends the experiences of singleness and the truths of God's Word with a sense of humor to proclaim God's promises of abundant life without marital strings attached. |
