| "To be surprised, to wonder, is to begin to understand." Ortega y Gasset We live in a world filled with artificial marvels, and too many of us have forgotten how to be amazed at what God is saying and doing by His mighty power. The neglected writers called "The Minor Prophets" call us back to a life of amazement and achievement as they remind us of-- God's jealous love (Hosea) The man who married a prostitute so he could demonstrate the love of God for His people. God's glorious kingdom (Joel) The Day of the Lord is coming, and the world stands unprepared! God's gracious long-suffering (Jonah, Nahum) Can anybody run away from God? Does God close His eyes when nations sin? God's righteous judgment (Habakkuk) Cad calls a wicked nation to punish His own people for their sins! God's contemptuous people (Malachi) Are we taking God's blessings for granted? Are we giving the Lord our best? The messages of these six Minor Prophets point the way to an attitude of wonder and worship that can transform your life. |

| God made you an original, so be authentic! Anybody can travel with the herd. It takes faith to be yourself and resist the forces that want to make you conform to the thoughtless crowd around us. In this study of Genesis 25-50, you will meet three unique men (and some unusual women) who dared to be authentic: Isaac, whose quiet life made a difference in history. Jacob, who had his ups and downs but ended up a prince. Joseph, who suffered unjustly but was given a throne. These familiar Bible characters and their stories take on new meaning as you see God making them into authentic people who accomplish His will in this world. They will teach you: How to live with people who make your life miserable Why families fall apart How to make new beginnings when you've failed What to do when your dreams become nightmares How to enrich the next generation with your faith |

| "In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes." Judges 21:25 Centuries have come and gone since those words of Scripture were written, but our self-centered, pleasure-minded human race has never seemed to learn the lessons of history. Philosopher George Santayana was right when he said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Today's world and the world of the Judges are similar in many ways. Greed. Sexual immorality. Disregard for moral absolutes. Even God's people can't seem to work together. But Warren Wiersbe reminds us through this study that here and there God is raising up men and women who believe Him, confront the enemy, and win the victory. The challenge of the Book of Judges is: be available! No matter how dark the day, God can still work through people who will trust His word, yield to His spirit, and do His bidding. |

| When things start to fall apart, get back to the basics! The Book of Genesis is the "book of beginnings" in the Bible, and the first eleven chapters present the "basic." These chapters are to live what a foundation is to a house or what the Constitutions is to the low of the land. If you want to build a life that succeeds, to face and solve life's problems, to serve effectively, you start with the basics. In Be Basic, you'll become reacquainted with the accounts of Creation, Adam and Eve, Noah and the Great Flood, and the Tower of Babel, and in the process you'll... Learn the basic truths about God and people Discover the basics about the world you live in Understand the basics about sin and temptation Marvel at the basic truths that make life work |

| Where Do You Turn for Comfort When... Circumstances frighten you? Sin makes you feel guilty? All your plans fall apart? The future holds no hope? "Comfort, comfort My people!" was the good news the Prophet Isaiah proclaimed to God's people centuries ago, and his message still applies today. Isaiah not only reveals God's prophetic plan for Israel, but also God's power and peace for all who will trust Him. In this practical study, Warren Wiersbe shows you how God can help you: Find strength and comfort in times of trial Conquer fear when your world is shaking Enjoy a rich worship experience with God Experience God's comfort and love "As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you" is God's promise (Isaiah 66:13). |

| One was a foreigner and a peasant. The other, a reluctant queen to a man she hardly knew. But their stories have one thing in common: A remarkable faith committed to doing God's will. For both Ruth and Esther, God used stressful circumstances to bring about his eternal purposes. Ruth's commitment to the God of Naomi affected every generation to come, as she became an ancestor of King David and more importantly, Jesus Christ. Esther's obedience led to the preservation of her people at a moment in history when all seemed lost. The stories of Ruth and Esther will make you contemplate: Would I trust God enough to do what they did? Go chapter by chapter through the books of Ruth and Esther to see how the lives of these two remarkable women epitomize the type of faith that glorifies God. As you read, ask yourself: How does God want to use my faithful commitment? Will he use your life to affect the generations to come, or will he use your life to impact the current generation? Either way, author Warren Wiersbe helps you to be prepared and be committed to God's will no matter what the cost. Click here to read a sample chapter! Adobe Acrobat is required.

| An Old Testament Study-Ruth and Esther Be Committed - Doing God's Will Whatever the Cost When You Are Tempted to Compromise or Quit... Think of Ruth and Esther, two Old Testament heroines of the faith. Singled out as the only women to have Bible books named after them, Ruth and Esther lived in very different worlds, one a poor peasant and the other a powerful queen. Yet both dared to do the right thing when confronted with the easy way out, and God rewarded them for their courage and commitment. As you study the Books of Ruth and Esther, you will appreciate anew the tough choices of faith these women made, and you will be encouraged to do the same as you rely on the God: who accomplishes His purposes through people who trust Him. |

| Oh, to be like Him--sympathetic, reaching out to others in distress! Jesus called Himself "the Son of man." He showed compassion toward all kinds of people . . . the sinful . . . the rejected . . . the brokenhearted . . . men and women . . . little children. The hopeless and the helpless looked to Him, and He never failed to meet their needs. As you study Dr. Luke's record of the Great Physician, Jesus Christ, you will better understand God's compassion and thereby be motivated to a greater degree to show loving concern for others . . . and to do what you can in God's power to help them in their distress. As never before, Dr. Wiersbe believes, God is calling His people to Be Compassionate "Pity is a depressant," wrote the eccentric philosopher Friedrich Nietzche. "A man loses power when he pities." Nietzche went mad in the year Adolph Hitler was born, but Hitler carried on that philosophy. He despised other people and stood apart from them. He especially despised the weak and the handicapped, and he developed programs for exterminating them. Robert Payne wrote, "Even on festive occasions he remained singularly alone, the flow of emotion ceasing abruptly when it came in contact with him. . . . He demanded for himself an immunity from people" (The Life and Death of Adolph Hitler, Praeger, p. 461). What a contrast to Jesus Christ, the compassionate Son of Man! In his Gospel, Dr. Luke describes our Lord as one who mingled with people, including publicans and sinners, and who shared the burdens of the afflicted and the weak. Jesus has proved conclusively that pity is a sign of strength, not of weakness; and that God's power flows through loving hearts. I think it was George Bernard Shaw who said that if the other planets are inhabited, they must be using the earth as their insane asylum. Our world is filled with hurting people who need a loving touch and a word of encouragement. Jesus has put His people here to let the world know that He cares. His command to us is, "Be compassionate!" |

| What Do You Need to Add? You hear about horoscopes, yoga, transcendental meditation, and a host of other old and new philosophies. Do you need these things? Not if you have Jesus Christ and He is preeminent in your life. If you're in Jesus Christ, you are complete! Too often today we try to mix man made philosophies and legalistic rules with the Gospel. The Colossians Christians faced a similar dilemma. But Paul tenderly corrected their erring ways. He warned against the temptation to look for spiritual fulfillment from sources other than God. As he did with the Colossians, the Apostle Paul calls you to Be Complete in Christ! Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe is best known as an author, pastor, and radio Bible teacher. He was for many years pastor of Chicago's Moody Memorial Church and most recently served as General Director and Bible teacher for Back to the Bible. He has authored over 100 books, including the New Testament "BE" series from Victor Books. |
