Holy Wisdom is collection of ascetical treaties written by Fr. Austin Baker, a well-known Benedictine mystic and an ascetic writer. These treatises were methodically collected by R.F. Serenus Cressy. Baker advises Christians to live an internal life with God as their guide, describing the process of mortification, by which the ascetic person strengthens the will to overcome the desire for sin.In conclusion, Baker's belief is that the continued practice of holy exercises draws Christians close to God.

    The Making of the English Bible

    A renowned Bible scholar examines how the Hebrew text has been interpreted—and misinterpreted—from the Renaissance to modern times. In this wide-ranging and authoritative study, Gerald Hammond sheds light on how the Bible has evolved over centuries of English-language translation. His extensive analysis begins in the sixteenth century with William Tyndale’s pioneering work. This early text is contrasted with the seventeenth century authorized version, showing how each in their own ways attempted to bring the meaning and nuance of the Hebrew scripture to English readers.  Between these towering Renaissance works, Hammond examines the two Bibles translated by Miles Coverdale; the Geneva Bible; the Bishops’ Bible; and the Catholic Bible. He also offers incisive criticism of the New English Bible, demonstrating that—in the pursuit of accessibility above all—the newer translations seem to have given up on what should be essential: faithful adherence to the source.

    Learn how to wield God’s Word as a weapon against anxiety, shame, and fear, so you can remain unshaken in our changing world. Unseen. Powerless. Hopeless. Many of us believe that these words describe who we are. In You Are Unshaken, Laura Krokos reminds us that this is not simply negative self-talk. These are lies Satan uses to keep us from living out the peace-filled, joy-filled life God wants for us. Each chapter in You Are Unshaken exposes one of these lies and equips us to fight back with truth. You Are Unshaken helps us: Find confidence and peace even in difficult circumstances.Learn how to use God’s Word as the sword of the Spirit.Realize that how we see God affects how we see ourselves.Feel grounded in God’s plan for us.Move beyond distractions and discouragements. Knowing God’s character transforms everything in life: our attitudes and actions, our fears and desires. You Are Unshaken is more than a call to know God. It is a reminder of who we already are because of who God has always been.

    Restore the Table shows readers the importance of meaningful mealtimes and how gathering around a table with those we love can help build relationships, improve our quality of life, and go deeper in our walk with God. When is the last time you gathered around the dinner table with those you loved without distractions, having meaningful and intentional conversation? If you can’t remember, you’re not alone. Americans have lost the art of gathering around the table. Busy schedules, digital distractions, and loneliness plague us, making gathering around the table for a meal feel like something from the distant past. This is why Pastor Ryan Rush posed a challenge to his congregation: have five meaningful mealtimes with those you love each week. The challenge took off and what happened was transformative. Marriages were strengthened, siblings got along better, people who had struggled with addictions began to face them, students’ grades improved. The table changed everything. In Restore the Table, Pastor Rush offers this challenge to all readers who want to strengthen their relationships, improve their quality of life, and go deeper in their walk with God. In the book, he addresses:  the tables of our pasts and how they’ve impacted us  why Jesus chose mealtimes to build relationships with people outside his circle  how to create a healthy and intentional mealtime habit with your loved ones  how the table can establish your legacy for years to come  Restore the Table will convince readers that the table is so much more than the place we eat. When used intentionally for discipleship and connection, the table can change the world.

    A BIBLICAL EXPLORATION OF THE BASIS AND NATURE OF GOD'S JUDGMENT. 
    The clearest expression of salvation in the Bible is John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." This one verse encapsulates six core teachings of the Christian Faith by using words filled with profound meaning. When each word is understood as Jesus Himself taught, it provides an entire worldview through which we can understand God, life, the hereafter, and the gospel. 
    In his second book of the six-part series GOOD NEWS IN JOHN 3:16, Bert Davidson elaborates on another word of this powerful message: "For God so loved the world ... that whoever believes in Him shall not PERISH." In systematic fashion using scripture as the final authority, fundamental truths about God's judgment are explored and given practical application to everyday life. Topics include:How a loving God can condemn men to hell.Why man is blind to his moral condition.What being sentenced to hell involves.The earthly lives of those sentenced to hell.and much more.
