  WHILE arguing with the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus said, "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; . . ." In this series of books we will examine the Tanakh in order to see if Jesus' claim has any merit. 
  In Hesed we will consider if the sacrificial system prescribed in the Torah prefigures Jesus’ death on the cross. We will do so by asking such root level questions as:Why did the Jews need to sacrifice lambs at the first Passover in order to be exempt from G-d’s judgement? After all, they were the victims in this event of slavery and oppression.Why did the High Priest need to immediately exit G-d’s presence once he sprinkled the blood in the Holy of Holies? Didn't the blood atone for his sins on Yom Kippur?et.al. 
  We will also examine the lives of Joseph, Moses, David, and Daniel. For, there are some noticeable similarities between their lives and Jesus’ life. The question is, were these details purposely inserted in the Tanakh to foreshadow Jesus, or is this just a coincidence? 
  Join author Mark Stouffer as he seeks to understand the intended meaning of the Biblical authors. 
  Hesed is for Jewish people who want to know the truth about Jesus. It is also good for Christians who want to learn about the Tanakh, or Old Testament.

  At-One-Ment dismantles centuries of harmful atonement theology while unveiling a breathtaking vision of God’s uncontrolling, non-violent love; one that transforms rather than punishes. Through deeply personal insights and rigorous theological exploration, discover how Jesus didn’t die to satisfy God’s wrath, but to show us we were never separate from the divine in the rst place. Prepare to have your understanding of salvation, forgiveness, and God’s very nature turned upside down—in the most beautiful way possible. 
  --I used to believe that God sacrificed himself to himself to save humanity from himself. But what if instead God was at one with Jesus dying on the cross and what if God is at one with us when we suffer? Jonathan Foster’s “at-one-ment” is exactly just that! —Mason Mennenga, YouTuber and podcast host of A People’s Theology 
  --What Jonathan gives us with this writing is a way to begin to disentangle violence from our religion and in the day and age we live in there may be nothing more important. —Dana Hicks, author of Quest for Thin Places: How to Find Spirituality after Deconstruction 
  --Jonathan Foster masterfully distills profound mysteries of the divine into accessible, soul-shaping wisdom for our liminal age. His writing, like a well in the desert, offers grounded nourishment to those dwelling in spiritual thresholds, revealing grace not as abstract theory but as embodied belonging. This is essential micro-theology for anyone hungry to encounter the sacred in the tension of transformation. —Thomas Rundel, host of the Liminal Living Podcast

  A User-Friendly Introduction to Interpreting and Understanding God's Word
  Many Christians view the Bible as a book that they know they should read, but it can be hard to know where to start. If they spend time regularly reading it, it can often feel like a chore to be checked off for the day. What many miss is that the Bible is a sweeping story full of narrative, poetry, and letters—something to be marveled at and enjoyed. 
  In The Epic Story of the Bible, Greg Gilbert aims to teach Christians—or those interested in Christianity—what the Bible is and how to study it. Adapted from the ESV Story of Redemption Bible, Gilbert examines major themes woven throughout Scripture and shows readers how to understand its various genres, helping them appreciate the word of God with less confusion and greater confidence.

  Finding Freedom in Constraint -...

  • 0

  The constraints of the spiritual life, practiced in community, are what set us free. Practicing spiritual disciplines can seem difficult, especially when we undertake them as isolated individuals. But we were never meant to practice them alone. 
   
   
   
  Jared Patrick Boyd reveals how the constraints practiced in Christian community shape us into the way of Christ. He re-anchors the practices of constraint within the ascetic tradition of monasticism, religious orders, and the early church fathers. Boyd writes, "The constraints of a rule of life are what make life together, lived for one another, possible. A rule of life is not meant to be primarily personal, but communal. It's not primarily meant to guide my life. It is meant to describe our way of life together." Constraint is the practice of learning to pay deeper attention to the things in our inner world that prevent us from progressing in the school of love. 
   
   
   
  Discover a deep conversation on freedom and constraint with six core practices of constraint that can form in us a greater freedom to be and become people who love as God loves. Enter into this vision with your local community (in small groups, church leadership teams, or families), and learn to make greater room to experience the love of God.

  HOLY BIBLE - AMOS: NEW LIVING TRANSLATION (NLT) The Holy Bible, New Living Translation, is an authoritative Bible translation, rendered faithfully into today’s English from the ancient texts by 90 leading Bible scholars. The NLT’s living language breathes life into even the most difficult-to-understand Bible passages—but even more powerful are stories of how people’s lives are changing as the words speak directly to their hearts.  The New Living Translation is perfect for every age and stage of life, allowing every member of the family to read the same text.   What method did the translators use in making the NLT?  The translators of the New Living Translation set out to render the message of the original texts of Scripture into clear, contemporary English. As they did so, they translated as simply and literally as possible when that approach yielded an accurate, clear, and natural English text. Many words and phrases were rendered literally and consistently into English, preserving essential literary and rhetorical devices, ancient metaphors, and word choices that give structure to the text and provide echoes of meaning from one passage to the next.  On the other hand, the translators rendered the message more dynamically when the literal rendering was hard to understand, was misleading, or yielded archaic or foreign wording. They clarified difficult metaphors and terms to aid in the reader’s understanding. The translators first struggled with the meaning of the words and phrases in the ancient context; then they rendered the message into clear, natural English. Their goal was to be both faithful to the ancient texts and eminently readable. The result is a translation that is both exegetically accurate and idiomatically powerful. More than 90 Bible scholars, along with a group of accomplished English stylists, worked closely together toward that goal. In the end, the NLT is the result of precise scholarship conveyed in living, contemporary language.
