What are angels? For many people, the word prompts images of glowing, winged, female-type creatures who enlighten, nurture, and guide people here on earth. Some believe them to be spirit guides or benefactors, while others see them as mere protectors. Many people believe that they can be summoned or beckoned at the will of humans, while others do not believe in their existence at all. But, what does the Bible say that they are? Envision around you, day and night, a valiant, thriving battle between good and evil, raging within a shrouded jurisdiction.

Read by the author. One year. One reluctant pray-er. One prayer that changed it all. Prayer is one of the most universal Christian struggles. Many of us feel like we don't "pray right," or we give up because prayer seems formulaic and dry. Deep down we wonder if prayer even makes a difference...

The Christian market is flooded with diet and exercise programs, each claiming to be "God's way" to healthy living. While some of them are based on biblical principles, and some have even proven effective for weight loss, there is not one program leading the pack daring to answer the question...

Discover the transformative power of the beatitudes. Many of us imagine spiritual growth as a steady climb upward, but the truth is that it's a journey filled with highs, lows, and moments of relearning. Every struggle, setback, and victory is part of how Jesus shapes us into His image. The...

Read by the author. Jesus didn't come to find perfect people. Instead, He came to find those hungry for His presence and willing to be transformed into His image. We often fall into the trap of thinking the Christian life should be a steady climb upward—like a growth line that goes only up and...

Conventional wisdom has it that the origins of the horror genre are found in the nineteenth century, in works like Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In this paradigm-shaking new book, Bible scholar and cultural historian Brandon Grafius argues that the Bible...

Have you ever wondered why certain books were removed from the Bible and what secrets they hold? The history of scripture is far more complex than standard editions suggest. This volume provides the missing puzzle pieces, bringing together the heavily guarded texts of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Nag Hammadi scriptures. Answer the questions that standard lessons often ignore: Who were the "Sons of God"? What really happened before the Great Flood? What did the apostles read that we don't?

Refusing to practice a religion foreign to your conscience and belief is the very epitome of what it means to be Protestant. When a tyrannical power forbids a people from practicing according to their own religious belief and conscience, and they do so anyway, even if in secret, they are acting in Protest. James A. Wylie brings the principle that is Protestantism nearer in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ to its beginning.

The Book of Leviticus is often regarded as the most challenging terrain within the Biblical canon; it is a dense thicket of ritual protocols, dietary restrictions, and complex sacrificial systems that can feel profoundly alien to the modern listener. Yet, to bypass this book is to miss the very heartbeat of the Pentateuch and the foundational blueprint for a life lived in the presence of the Divine.

The Book of Acts is perhaps the most high-stakes, action-packed narrative in the entire Biblical canon. It begins in the shadowed tension of a Jerusalem upper room and ends in the heart of the most powerful empire the world has ever known. Yet, for many readers, this bridge between the life of Jesus and the letters of the New Testament remains a collection of disconnected Sunday school stories, a bit of Peter here, a dash of Paul there, and a few miraculous escapes in between. This book, The 4-Hour Apostle, is designed to change that.

In Theopolitan Mission, Peter J. Leithart explores the meaning of human "making" and the model of two biblical makers, Noah and Jesus, to identify the church's mission as the calling of man: to build God's temple in the world, then to remodel the world after the pattern of the sanctuary. Jesus is the Carpenter of Nazareth, the new and greater Noah, who builds a living ark from the crooked timber of humanity. Through us, the remade humanity, Jesus fulfills His second task, remaking the creation.

What if the greatest salesman in history knocked on your door and the product he was selling was already yours? In 1953, J. R. "Bob" Dobbs received a divine sales mission through television static. His territory? Everywhere. His product? You'll know it when you finally buy it. From the ashes of dot-com delusions to the smoke of towers that fell at free-fall speed. From the derivatives that ate the economy to the masked pause that revealed the cage... Through every conspiracy that was true and every truth that was conspiracy, ‘Bob's’ been there.

The story of the Apostle Peter is perhaps the most enduring portrait of the human condition ever recorded in the annals of faith. He is a man defined not by the static perfection often attributed to saints in stained glass, but by a volatile, breathing, and often messy transformation. To journey through the life of Peter is to witness the slow, deliberate chiseling of a rough stone into a foundational masterpiece.

Quoted by the apostle Jude, treasured by early Church fathers, deliberately excluded from modern Bibles—the Books of Enoch reveal the shocking truth about fallen angels, Nephilim giants, and the corruption that forced God to send the Great Flood.

Quali sono i dieci comandamenti. Che tipo di peccati proibiscono. A quali condotte ci obbligano. Sono un vero cammino di felicità o solo una serie di fastidiosi e limitanti precetti e divieti? Come fare per osservare i dieci comandamenti? A queste e ad altre domande si cerca di rispondere nel testo.

Perfect for small group studies, Bible study series and personal spiritual growth. Discipleship isn’t about working harder; it’s about loving deeper. Many of us began our walk with Jesus full of fire, only to be weighed down by religious pressure and the rules of ‘faith'. But what if Jesus’ Greatest Commandment–to love God, others and bring that love to the world–wasn’t intended to be a chore, but a transformation of the heart?

Ephesians has sometimes been called “The Gospel of the Church,” offering a vision of the church as a living body, an intimate and honoring community of love for one another, and a redemptive movement in the world. The church is people, not buildings or institutions—people who have found life in Jesus and who share the beauty of this life with each other and with the world.

Os quatro Evangelhos estão repletos de histórias em que a participação de mulheres se destaca. Tal pergunta tem seu significado ampliado quando levamos em conta a diversidade de mulheres que se aproximaram de Jesus ao longo de seu curto ministério. Pobres, ricas, enfermas, enlutadas, jovens, idosas, gentias, judias, virgens, viúvas, prostitutas, profetisas, elas se achegaram a Jesus em busca de cura, perdão e respostas, e essas motivações repercutem ainda hoje em nosso coração, inspirando-nos e fortalecendo-nos.

What is God’s revealed desire regarding the use and preservation of his name? Can we accurately recover the exact pronunciation of the tetragrammaton in the way it sounded in the days of Moses? In this book Andrew Case traces the maze of history around how the divine name was used and silenced, and how different languages and versions of the Scripture have represented YHWH in translation. He evaluates the taboo on saying God’s name, and discusses why the New Testament authors did not write it.

The world thinks it knows what scandal looks like. But the greatest "offense" in history isn't found in a protest slogan or a viral outrage mob. It was the moment the God of the Universe looked at the guilty and refused to condemn them. We live in an age addicted to judgment. We demand justice. We demand that people get exactly what they deserve. But the Gospel is not a story about fairness. It is the story of a God who recklessly gives us what we don't deserve.
