Stones Still Speak - How Biblical Archaeology Illuminates the Stories You Thought You Knew

Amanda Hope Haley

Casa editrice: Revell

Sinossi

Untangling the Sunday School Stories You Learned from the Biblical History You Haven't   
 
· Biblical archaeologist unearths the riches of the historical and cultural contexts of the Bible 
· Unveils God's Word as one glorious, world-changing story 
 
When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories--Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks--with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events. 
 
In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God's Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.

Jesus-Shaped Life A: Audio Bible...

Lisa Harper

Moving beyond facts to experience the fullness of God 
Theology is a conversation about God. One that invites us to experience God in all His fullness rather than just memorizing facts about God. Theology is not some academic subject to only be pursued by professors and seminarians. Theology is the way we connect with our Redeemer. It's how we remember that we're His. And we will never have to be alone. 
This seven-week Bible study by Lisa Harper, titled A Jesus-Shaped Life, is your invitation to explore the depths of God's character, God's love for you, and how your relationship with Him transforms you. Ultimately, you will experience how biblically sound theology deepens your relationship with God and each other. 
The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While no required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.

Cultural Counterfeits -...

Jen Oshman

"There really is more to this life, but it can't be found in our own conjuring, our own identity creation and curation." —Jen Oshman
In our search for meaning and purpose, we can be influenced by idols like outward beauty and ability, sex, abortion, and gender fluidity. Even good things like marriage and motherhood can become symbols of idolatry. We may sense that these counterfeits are hollow and leave us feeling unsettled, but where should we turn instead?
Jen Oshman equips us to reject the empty, cultural promises of our age and recognize our unshakable and eternal identities in Jesus. Addressing timely topics such as the sexual revolution, LGBTQIA+, social media, and feminism, Oshman provides compelling cultural analysis and engaging discussion questions to help us uncover God's good design and purpose for our lives. Good news awaits—we really were made for so much more.

Missionary To Mars

Lucas Kitchen

What readers are saying:
"This Christian Sci-fi book is filled with dangerous threats, dozens of comedic moments, and even a little romance sprinkled in along the way."
"The gospel can change a life and a whole city. That's also what makes it so threatening to hostile powers. Lucas Kitchen brings that spiritual warfare to life and sets it among the stars. I look forward to the next books in the series."
"Missionary to Mars helped remind me that the gospel is important enough to risk your life for. As this captivating sci-fi story shows, the gospel can change a life and a whole city."
"This book could actually be a great long-form gospel tract to an unbeliever who loves science fiction books but would never read a three-page tract or have a three-page conversation on the gospel."
“Made me cry and rejoice and I couldn't stop reading.”
“Can’t wait till the next book in the series.”
Description:
Eustis Grimes, an idealistic cyber-nerd, has to go on the run when his best friends are murdered by the evil Admiral Strafe for their faith. Eustis is thrust into a Solar System where just the mention of outlawed ideas can get you killed in a dozen creative ways.
Since he has no ship, no money, and no connections, he is forced to sneak aboard a rattle-beaten freighter of smugglers as they set out into the wild black yonder. He embarks armed with stubbornness and an unstoppable drive to share the gospel with the Solar System before Admiral Strafe finds him.
This unabashedly Christian sci-fi novel mixes humorous characters with poignant themes to create a message of hope, faith, and love that blends seamlessly into a grand space adventure. Missionary To Mars is a family-friendly novel even die-hard science fiction fans will love.
