  A book for those who think they know Jesus and for those who know they don't. 
   
   
   
  Can anyone in our high-tech world truly understand someone who lived two thousand years ago? Can we get through twenty centuries of tradition to the real person who started it all? Andreas Köstenberger shows that the Gospels, the four earliest records about Jesus, do just that. These writings, named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, alongside key facts about the ancient world, bring Jesus's life, his words, and his legacy into focus. 
   
   
   
  Introducing Jesus gets to the heart of what was—and is—important about Jesus. Köstenberger uses succinct prose to address these questions: 
   
   
   
  ● What did each gospel writer intend to convey about Jesus? 
   
   
   
  ● What historical backgrounds help us understand Jesus better? 
   
   
   
  ● What aspects of Jesus's life and teaching do the Gospels emphasize? 
   
   
   
  ● What does Jesus mean to people living today?

  A graceful, biblical way to reclaim sanity for the home and dignity for the suffering spouse in a dysfunctional or dangerous marriage. 
  Thousands of conscientious believers wanting to honor the sacred vows they took before God suffer in dysfunctional, even dangerous marriages. Each and every day they must choose between the lesser of two evils: divorce without sound biblical support or a life of perpetual, unrelenting misery. Somewhere between the secular disregard for the commands of Christ and the sacred unwillingness to deal with real problems of people, there is a way. 
  The redemptive divorce process is designed to honor the sacredness of the union while offering practical relief for the suffering partner and tough love for the offending spouse. In some cases, it might even be the catalyst for the restoration and rebuilding of the marriage. 
  A helpful guide with worksheets for implementation and other resources are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

  Mere Christian Hermeneutics...

  Kevin J. Vanhoozer

  How can we engage the text of Scripture well, rightly, and faithfully? 
  Challenges abound when it comes to reading Scripture, including not only the variety of actual interpretations of the Bible but also the plurality of reading cultures, each with its own preferred frame of reference. A cynical observer might say that Christians have never agreed upon how to interpret the Bible, or even on the meaning of the "literal sense." 
  Theologian Kevin J. Vanhoozer responds to these challenges by offering Mere Christian Hermeneutics Audio Lectures. The allusion to C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity is no accident, for he teaches a "mere" Christian hermeneutic--that is, principles for reading the Bible as Scripture everywhere, at all times, and by all Christians. Vanhoozer seeks to fulfill this promise without degenerating into a bland ecumenical tolerance of conflicting opinions. Rather, he explores the accounts of Jesus's transfiguration, a key moment in the broader economy of God's revelation, to suggest that spiritual or "figural" interpretation is not a denial or distortion of the literal sense but rather its glorification. 
  In this light, each lesson calls both church and academy to develop reading cultures that enable and sustain the kind of unity and diversity that "mere Christian hermeneutics" encourages.

  When New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff got curious about tapping into his full potential, he launched a research study with Dr. Mike Peasley. They asked more than three thousand people if they felt they were living up to their full potential. 
   
  Fifty percent of people reported that 50 percent of their full potential is untapped.  
   
  That means half of us are walking around with half-lives. No wonder Twitter is so grumpy. 
   
  Imagine if every Christmas you only opened up half your gifts. You could see the rest—a whole pile of them in the corner of the room—but you never got to open them. 
   
  Would that make for a happy Christmas, a happy house, a happy job, a happy anything? 
   
  It wouldn’t, but what if it didn’t have to be that way? 
   
  What if you could have a fulfilling career? 
  What if you could enjoy a thriving marriage and strong friendships? 
  What if you could be in the greatest shape of your life? 
  What if each day felt like a gift and each year progressively got better? 
  What if you could use a single piece of paper to learn from your past, enjoy your present, and prepare your future?  
  What if you could escape the Comfort Zone, avoid the Chaos Zone, and live inthe Potential Zone? 
   
  That would be the best. 
   
  And what if all it takes is a goal?
