Have you ever felt distant from your faith, wondering if the Bible still speaks in today’s fast-paced world?

Many adults struggle with these same questions, searching for deeper meaning and a renewed connection with God. That’s why 101 Bible Stories for Adults was created. This isn’t a children’s Bible storybook. It’s a transformative guide that reveals how Scripture’s timeless wisdom can meet you where you are today.

Esau is one of the most Enigmatic characters in the Bible. His birth alone is strange to say the least. "He came out red, covered in hair from head to toe like a hairy cloak." What if I told you there is much more to this guy's story, but has been lost to us throughout the ages. That his story is scattered in pieces throughout other ancient "extra biblical" books. This is a story of what we would call today a Bigfoot. This story goes back to the garden of Eden, a serpent, supernatural garments, and a birthright.

In Jesus: The Son of God, Stephen McFarlane invites listeners to examine the evidence, logic, and meaning behind that question. This book explores the life, claims, and impact of Jesus Christ using historical and philosophical insight rather than religious tradition alone. Through ten clear and thought-provoking chapters, McFarlane presents a reasoned case for faith — one that bridges the gap between belief and evidence. You’ll discover how history, morality, and logic all point toward the truth of Jesus as the divine Son of God and why this truth still changes lives today.

IN VOLUME 1: THE OLD TESTAMENT, YOU WILL LEARN: Multiple ways that Jesus made personal appearances on earth (called “Christophanies”) prior to His birth through the virgin Mary. What really happened in the Garden of Eden and what that means for humanity of all ages. How Christ’s fulfillment of the Passover feast renders a false claim of His identity a mathematical absurdity. The many links between Mt. Sinai, the Day of Pentecost, and the Ascension from astounding (but largely hidden) revelations in the original Hebrew and Greek.

From Agnes of Rome to Charles Lwanga, Joan of Arc to Dominic Savio, these inspiring lives show that holiness is possible at any age. Through courage, sacrifice, and trust in God, these boys and girls, peasants and kings, answered Christ’s call and became examples of virtue for all generations.

In this incredibly unique work and writing style—from longtime pastor, media personality, conference speaker, and internationally acclaimed bestselling author Carl Gallups—you'll walk directly into the Garden of Eden — where Adam and Eve encountered the great tempter. You'll be placed inside the ark, experiencing the horror of Noah's family as they heard the agonized cries of their neighbors, struggling in vain to survive the deluge. The anguish of our Savior will explode into intense reality as He struggles with his human emotions—and the goading of the tempter—on the night He was betrayed.

Men and women of God have been studying the life of Paul the Apostle since the dawn of the New Covenant. Having written 13 (or perhaps 14 if you include Hebrews) of the 27 books of the New Testament, his writings, breathed by the Holy Spirit, are vital to Christians everywhere. His boldness in proclaiming the truths of the New Covenant was not only revolutionary, but caused him to live in constant threat of death.

Daniel war umgeben von Finsternis. Er hörte, wie die Löwen ihn immer enger umkreisten. Spürte den Luftzug ihres Atems. Fühlte ihr Knurren wie ein Beben in sich. König Darius ließ sich kein Essen bringen und fastete die ganze Nacht über. Auch fand er keinen Schlaf. Am nächsten Morgen, sobald der Tag dämmerte, eilte er aus dem Palast zur Löwengrube.

Deborah is a powerful exploration of one of the Bible’s most extraordinary leaders. Drawn from Judges chapters 4 and 5, this book uncovers the rich, multilayered story of Deborah, a woman who led Israel with wisdom, courage, and unwavering faith in a time of national crisis. As both a prophetess and judge, Deborah offered spiritual guidance and civil leadership to a struggling nation. She fearlessly called a reluctant general to battle, stood on the front lines of conflict, and inspired victory against overwhelming odds.

Originally composed in Hebrew, this text survives today only in Old Slavonic recensions preserved within the medieval Tolkovaja Paleja. Rediscovered by 19th-century scholars who were cataloguing Slavonic manuscripts, the Apocalypse of Abraham is known from six principal manuscripts, each preserving a vivid expansion of the Genesis narratives and a rich tapestry of angelology, mysticism, and Messianic expectation.

Mary is about the mother of Jesus and the arc of her development from a peasant teenager to an icon in the church, to a bold witness of the Gospel who journeys from Jerusalem to Samaria, to the mostly Gentile church in Antioch of Syria, and finally to Ephesus, a major metropolitan city of Asia Minor. This book tells the story of Mary in the style of a memoir while still being faithful to the canon of scripture in the hopes that women who seek to have their voices heard in a male-dominated society will find inspiration and strength.

If your life doesn't look the way you expected, that doesn't mean God can't use you. If we know God has already won the battle, why do we still struggle? The Christian life often doesn’t feel like the stained-glass images we remember from childhood—happy, holy, hopeful. But God never...

There was only one man who was so important that his birth caused our calendar to split in two (B.C./A.D). There was only one man who, despite being tempted, did not sin even once. There was only one man who died for your sins and mine, and by whom we can have eternal life. That man was Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

In the much-awaited follow-up to Cross-Examined: Putting Christianity on Trial, trial lawyer John W. Campbell demonstrates why Christians are fundamentally wrong about Jesus, the leader of the movement that developed into modern Christianity. Using the most up-to-date research and findings, Campbell shows, among other things, why Jesus was not the Jewish Messiah, why the true Jesus was replaced by Paul's Christ of faith, and why Jesus was not resurrected from the dead. Campbell explains who Jesus really was, what he believed, and why he would be so disappointed with modern Christianity.

For the last 150 years, both popular and academic views have asserted that Jesus spoke Aramaic as his primary language of communication since supposedly Hebrew died out after the children of Israel were taken into Babylonian captivity. This view, however, is not based on the testimony of the Old Testament, the New Testament, historical sources, or Jesus' actual words. Just which language did Jesus and his disciples speak?
