  The world wants to make us into its image. The cares and pleasures of this life demand our hearts' devotion. We are always in the process of being transformed. We become like what we worship—which means we will find true rest only as we worship Christ and become more like him. In his revised devotional work, Kris Lundgaard invites us to forsake unfulfilling idols and set our hearts on adoring Christ instead. Drawn by the wisdom of Puritan John Owen, this book is a profound call to contemplate Christ—his person, work, and love—in new and deeper ways, so that you are challenged and changed. Readers praise The Glorious Christ (formerly Through the Looking Glass) as a useful resource for group study as well as private meditation. Discover the eternal value of beholding the glorious Christ, who is worthy of all our worship.

  Light Warriors - A Heavenly...

  Spiritual warfare is a battle against the dark forces of the enemy. It is a fight that has eternal consequences. It is serious business, and rightly so. But have we been so focused on the darkness that we have overlooked the Light? 
   
   
   
  Many of us exhaust ourselves striving against Satan in our own strength, unknowingly employing the enemy's own tactics rather than resting in Christ's triumphant finished work. These methods frustrate us and keep us from experiencing victory and deliverance. 
   
   
   
  That is all about to change as we move from being victims of the darkness to becoming victorious warriors of the light. Bestselling author Joshua Mills explains that in these momentous times, God wants us to recover His original plan for spiritual warfare. He is providing us with a higher revelation, with better tools for overcoming, so we can release His powerful light. When the light shines, darkness must flee. 
   
   
   
  Light warriors choose to stand in the light and not back down from the darkness. As you learn how to become a spiritual light warrior, you will release healing, activate angels and disarm demons, be set ablaze with God's power, live in heavenly light, and shift atmospheres for spiritual victory.

  Outreach 2024 Resource of the Year (Mission and Cross-Cultural) 
   
   
   
  Highly regarded biblical scholar and speaker Christopher Wright shows us that how we read the Bible has a profound impact on how we understand what mission is. According to Wright, "People read (and preach) the Bible in tiny bits and pieces, for its promises or rules or doctrines, and fail to take it . . . as the true story of the universe, past, present, and future, within the plan and purposes of God—a story in which we are called to participate as coworkers with God." 
   
   
   
  Wright encourages us to explore the Bible's grand narrative and to bring the whole counsel of God in Scripture to our understanding of who we are and what we must do as God's people. He helps us understand mission in its broadest sense, including our creational responsibilities. Wright's goal is to get us excited about the dramatic vista of the whole Bible and to help us understand the breadth and depth of missional engagement that we are called to live as actors in that drama.

  The Ladder of Jacob - Ancient...

  A renowned scholar retraces the steps of ancient biblical interpreters as they struggled to understand the complex and troubling story of Jacob. 
   
  Rife with incest, adultery, rape, and murder, the biblical story of Jacob and his children must have troubled ancient readers. They were the founders of the nation of Israel. Yet, by any standard, this was a family with problems. 
   
  Jacob’s oldest son Reuben is said to have slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah. The next two sons, Simeon and Levi, murdered all the men of a nearby city as revenge for the rape of their sister. Judah, the fourth son, had sexual relations with his own daughter-in-law. Meanwhile, jealous of their younger sibling Joseph, the brothers conspired to kill him; they later relented and merely sold him into slavery. 
   
  In The Ladder of Jacob, renowned biblical scholar James Kugel reveals how ancient biblical interpreters often fixed on a little detail in the Bible’s wording to “deduce” something not openly stated in the narrative. They concluded that Simeon and Levi were justified in their mass slaughter, and that Judah was the unfortunate victim of alcoholism. 
   
  These are among the earliest examples of ancient biblical interpretation (midrash). They are found in the Book of Jubilees, the Aramaic Levi Document, the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, and other noncanonical works. Through careful analysis of these retellings, Kugel reconstructs how ancient interpreters worked.

  Savoring Scripture - A Six-Step...

  Andrew Abernethy

  Some books on how to read the Bible are academically informative, but their rationality can make God seem distant. Other books are spiritually vibrant but provide few tools that truly help God's people read the Bible better. Readers need a guide that combines the academic with the spiritual—that integrates textual analysis with the illuminating and transformational work of the Holy Spirit.
  Drawing from his experience training students to study the Bible, Andrew Abernethy provides a holistic method that helps readers listen carefully to what God was saying to the original audience and what God is saying to us today. Using clear examples, he lays out six steps:
  
  - Posture
  - Flow
  - Context
  - Whole Bible
  - Savor God
  - Faithful response
  Chapters provide guidance on interpreting biblical genres, factoring in historical backgrounds, reading each passage in context, tracing the redemptive storyline of Scripture, and more. Then, building on a strong grasp of Scripture's meaning, readers engage the traditional practice of lectio divina and consider how to respond faithfully to the text. The goal, Abernethy says, is to encounter God and to be shaped by the Word as we savor its richness.
  Filled with practical features such as illustrations, maps, timelines, and discussion questions, Savoring Scripture is a valuable guide for students and anyone who wants to study the Bible more effectively. God has given us a Bible that is for the hungry—for those willing both to depend on God for provision and to put in the mental effort to enjoy the feast.
