The early Christian Church was a chaos of contending beliefs. Some groups of Christians claimed that there was not one God but two or twelve or thirty. Some believed that the world had not been created by God but by a lesser, ignorant deity. Certain sects maintained that Jesus was human but not divine, while others said he was divine but not human.

With Really Bad Girls of the Bible, Liz reveals the power of God's sovereignty in the lives of shady ladies we know by reputation but have rarely studied in depth: Bathsheba, the bathing beauty. Jael, the tent-peg-toting warrior princess. Herodias, the horrible beheader.

Higgs revisits the well of biblical women for this continuation of her hugely successful Bad Girls of the Bible series. Whereas Bad Girls of the Bible and Really Bad Girls of the Bible tackled the Jezebels and Salomes, often demonstrating that these women were not as nefarious as later traditions would suggest, this one takes a different tack, looking at five good girls of the Bible and finding them seriously flawed.

Do you ever sense that there's far more to prayer, and to God's vision for your life, than what you're experiencing? It's time you learned from the legend of Honi the Circle Maker - a man bold enough to draw a circle in the sand and not budge from inside it until God answered his prayers for his people. What impossibly big dream is God calling you to draw a prayer circle around? In this powerful booklet, excerpted from The Circle Maker, Batterson helps you uncover your heart's deepest desires and God-given dreams and unleash them through the kind of audacious prayer that God delights to answer.

Christians have proclaimed the good news about Jesus for centuries. But the good news isn't sounding so good these days, at least to some. More and more surveys show that people view Christians as bearers of bad news, judgment, and intolerance. In Vanishing Grace, best-selling author Philip Yancey acknowledges the problem and then explores how we can respond with both grace and truth. He offers a discerning look at what contributes to a hostility toward Christians, and identifies three groups - pilgrims, artists, and activists - who can show us a different way.

Little girls know about Cinderella, about her breathtaking beauty, about Prince Charming, about a magical destiny called "happily ever after." And inside every woman is a little girl who secretly aches for a fairy godmother to wave a wand and transform her into the princess she has always longed to be—to make her beautiful, captivating and adored. But we've learned that fairy tales aren't real, and so we squelch our precious gifts of longing and desire.

Women comprise at least half the world, and usually more than half the church, but so often Christian teaching to women either fails to move beyond a discussion of roles or assumes a particular economic situation or stage of life. This all but shuts women out from contributing to God's kingdom as they were designed to do.

A practical plan to identify the threads of your life and how to intentionally weave them together for God's glory and purposes. Restless explores the fact that God has called us all to do great things in his name, and then helps us discover what that might mean for each of us individually.

Isn't it shocking that the precious holy name of the heavenly father has been removed from his own book almost 7,000 times. How do you think God feels? When Jesus taught us how to pray, He said: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name...what name? Is it "God"? That's not his name...it's a title. Is the name "Lord"? That's also not his name...it's also a title. What is the personal holy name of the god you serve? Why is it important to use and praise God's true name?

Prepare for a life-changing encounter with Jesus, seeing him afresh through the eyes of three women who worship and adore him. Mary of Bethany prepares the way for the lord's burial when she anoints his feet and fills the air with her perfume. His mother, Mary of Nazareth, stands by her son from his first breath to his last, her loyalty unwavering. Mary Magdalene, delivered of seven demons, bravely supports her teacher through his darkest hours, then proclaims the glorious news of his resurrection.

Today many Americans, including Christians, have little idea of the connection between our nation's unique success and its Biblical foundation. This is one reason our nation's government continues to depart from Biblical principles and values. Filled with Scripture references, this book was written to efficiently and effectively equip and encourage Christians to bring the Bible back into the political conversation and confront society with the all-important question: "Who determines truth: God or man?"

Er dient als Gleichnis zum Parieren eines Affronts. Damit soll jemandem, der es wissen will, bedeutet werden, dass er an der falschen Stelle sucht und Überheblichkeit nicht weiterhilft. Die beschriebene Szene ereignet sich im Tempel, als man sich darum bemüht, den Geheimnissen des ewigen Lebens auf die Spur zu kommen. Der sich da zu Wort meldet, ist einer, der es eher praktisch sieht und aus seinen eigennützigen Motiven keinen Hehl macht.

Katastrophen eines solchen Ausmaßes mag man sich gar nicht ausmalen, obwohl es doch immer wieder dahin kommt. Von sintflutartigen Regenfällen ist hier und da die Rede, oft genug wird vieles weggeschwemmt, was dazu nicht bestimmt war, dann gerät alles durcheinander, und das große Aufräumen beginnt. Die biblische Sintflut hielt ein ganzes Jahr an und noch zehn Tage obendrein. Bis zu den Berggipfeln stieg das Wasser, und alle ertranken darin bis auf einen.

Sieben Tage lang soll es gedauert haben, bis unsere schöne Erde so dastand, wie sie heute kaum noch wiederzuerkennen ist. Die Woche beginnt mit dem ersten Arbeitstag, wobei manche meinen, es müsste schon der Zweite ihres gewohnten Ablaufs sein. Umstritten ist nicht zuletzt, ob sie mit dem Sonntag beginnt. Der aber war ein Ruhetag, den man erst nach Vollendung des Werks einlegen sollte. Er dient der Rückschau dessen, was geschaffen worden ist.

Da sitzt er nun, der Daniel, und die Löwen liegen ihm zu Füßen. Sie können nicht heraus, ganz sicher nicht, doch das scheinen sie auch nicht zu wollen. Ganz friedlich sehen sie aus, als ob sie sich schon satt gefressen hätten. Wie er hineingekommen ist, das hat sich folgendermaßen zugetragen: Daniel war einer von drei Fürsten, deren jeder über jeweils vierzig Landvögte zu wachen hatte, ins Amt gehoben von König Darius, damit er dieser Mühe enthoben sei. Dabei hatte Daniel sich so bewährt, dass er anstelle des 62-Jährigen fortan herrschen sollte.

Nackt, bloß und verzweifelt flehen sie, über deren Lebenswandel Gericht zu halten ist, hoch droben schwebt einer im schlichten, doch unverkennbar auch prächtigen Gewand auf der Erdkugel, ihm zur Seite lagern jene, deren Rat gefragt ist. Ab und an fährt jemand in den Himmel auf, manche werden der Flammenhölle überantwortet. Ihr Wehklagen übertönt noch das weithin vernehmbare Gemurmel, dem Einhalt geboten wird, wenn Aufmerksamkeit erforderlich ist.
