If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus and approach the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of the transformation of consciousness.

The road of spiritual growth can get bumpy. From the new believer to the seasoned disciple, we all experience frustrations and setbacks in our pursuit of God. And perhaps no one understands spiritual struggles better than the apostle Paul. In the book of 2 Corinthians, Paul shares a revealing look at his own challenges, and offers a profound message of encouragement for every believer.

We've all heard the phrase: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. What about faith? Will your faith thrive in tough times? Do you desire a more resolute faith? The book of Daniel relates the familiar Sunday School stories of the lions' den, the fiery furnace, and some remarkable prophecies, but take some time to investigate these stories more closely. How did Daniel, Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego possess such a fearless faith? Perhaps no one in the Bible possessed a more resolute faith in God than these individuals.

How to pray, how to serve, how to overcome, how to love: Jesus taught the disciples these timeless lessons through hands-on experience and powerful parables that resonated in the hearts of multitudes. Most evident in John 13-21, however, is Christ's teaching on the transforming power of joy—how to have it, hold onto it, and never let it go.

The Plot: The Tree is the third book in The Plot series. Is the "law" based on the knowledge of good and evil? What is the meaning of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? What was the curse that began at the tree? What is the meaning of "Cursed is he who hangs on a tree" (Gal. 3: 13; Deut. 21: 23)? Why did Christ hang on a tree? What is the relationship between the Tree and the cross? Why did God nail the law to the cross (Col. 2: 14)? What was the fate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? And what legacy has that tree left?

The Plot: Last Days is the fourth in The Plot series. In order to understand the Bible's ending, you must know its overall plot. The Plot: Last Days confronts some of the most confusing and controversial questions in Bible prophecy. Why did the early believers sell everything they owned? Did the apostles expect Jesus to return within their lifetime? What do Daniel's 70 Weeks, the Seven Feasts of Israel, and Pentecost have to do with the end times? Is the Church destined to endure the Great Tribulation-or will it escape through a Rapture?

You’re able to understand the Bible. Really. After first comprehending what the Mosaic Law teaches (including its criminal justice statutes), then we must determine which of its precepts apply to today. Without the New Testament's epistles, we Christians would hopelessly wrestle with the Law of Moses, not knowing which parts of it apply today and which do not. Hebrews says that with "the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.

The history of the Roman Empire is often told through the clashing of swords, the expansion of borders, and the ego of emperors, yet some of its most profound transformations occurred in the quiet, intellectual spaces of a governor’s court. To understand the transition of the Mediterranean world from a tapestry of pagan cults to a landscape dominated by the Christian faith, one must look closely at the figure of Sergius Paulus.

The journey begins on the desolate island of Patmos, where the Apostle John finds himself in exile for his commitment to the Gospel. In the first chapter, the curtain is pulled back to reveal the glorified Christ. This is not the humble carpenter of Nazareth or the suffering servant of the cross; this is the High Priest of heaven, with eyes like blazing fire, a voice like rushing waters, and a face that shines with the brilliance of the sun. He stands among seven golden lampstands, which represent the seven churches of Asia Minor.

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.

In The Christ-Myth Theory and Its Problems, Robert M. Price, one of America's leading authorities on the Bible, demonstrates that almost the entire "biography” of Jesus is a conscious reworking of earlier literature and shares the evidence that has led him and other scholars to conclude that Christ—a partial synonym for Jesus of Nazareth—is a mythical figure.

What does Jesus say and do within the narrative worlds of the New Testament gospels that, through the ages, enabled innumerable gory horrors and immense systemic violence to be perpetrated with his presumed permission? That is the question driving this book. Its compound title, Jesusviolence, simultaneously denotes: first, the violence inflicted on the gospel Jesuses in their narrative worlds; second, the violence enacted by the gospel Jesuses in their narrative worlds; and third, certain of the violence enacted in Jesus's name in our histories and worlds.

It takes courage to walk out our faith. Courage to stand for what we believe. To set our standards on Biblical truth, not cultural trends. To pursue a life defined by integrity and character. And we find no greater profile in courage than in the life of Christ. This study follows our Savior as he faced opposition, challenged critics, and courageously chose to make the ultimate sacrifice.
