  Hearing God Through Galatians...

  These four books of the New Testament were written by the Apostle Paul between 50 and 60 A.D.  Paul’s intent with his letters to the churches was to clear up doctrine, ensure the message of Jesus was correctly understood and taught and to encourage or rebuke as necessary.  
  In Galatia some believers were heretically teaching that while Jesus offered salvation, works were also necessary for it. In his letter to the Ephesians he stresses that Christians are saved by grace alone as a gift from God and “not by works so that no one would boast” (Eph 2:9). 
  The letter to the Philippians has a different tone. Though Paul was a prisoner of Nero while he wrote it, he speaks often of joy and rejoicing. He tells us the secret to joy during trials and encourages us to live in peace despite our circumstances. 
  With his letter to the Colossians, he again corrects bad theology by combating Gnosticism. He tells about the fullness of God in Jesus (Col 1:19 and 2:9) and warns those who worshipped angels (Col 2:18) that they have lost their connection to God. 
  Through these 4 books, Christians come to a better of understanding of who Jesus is, what He offers and how to live out our faith in Him.   
  Reading the Bible is different than reading any other book. It is more than a narrative about God, it is more than a story of broken individuals and the trials they faced. It is more than a set of rules and regulations. It is even more than a love letter. It is the very essence of Jesus. It is about Him, but there is more than that. It is God’s conversation with us. It is alive. It is active. It is a 2-way conversation.

  We all endure trials, pain, and hardship in this life. The enemy often uses those experiences to convince us that our brokenness disqualifies us from ever being used by God again—that we can no longer be a testimony because of our emotional or physical scars. The truth is, your past pain and brokenness actually serve as preparation for what God wants to do in you and through you, if you will but surrender to and trust in him. 
   
   
   
  In Sacred Scars, neuropsychologist and fellow sufferer Dr. Michelle Bengtson helps you 
   
   
   
  ● understand suffering through a biblical perspective 
   
   
   
  ● discover how the trials of your life serve a purpose 
   
   
   
  ● reflect on the healing that God has accomplished 
   
   
   
  ● comfort others with the comfort God has given you 
   
   
   
  Just as Jesus's scars didn't disappear after his resurrection, our scars tell our story and lend credence to our testimony of the love and power of God. If you are ready to turn your past pain into present comfort and future hope, let Dr. Bengtson be your compassionate guide.

  Strange Religion - How the First...

  The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today's believers. 
   
   
   
  Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle. They practiced a whole new way of thinking about and doing religion that would have been seen as bizarre and dangerous when compared to Roman religion and most other religions of the ancient world. 
   
   
   
  Award-winning author, blogger, speaker, and New Testament teacher Nijay Gupta traces the emerging Christian faith in its Roman context in this accessible and engaging book. Christianity would have been seen as radical in the Roman world, but some found this new religion attractive and compelling. The first Christians dared to be different, pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable, transformed how people thought about religion, and started a movement that grew like wildfire. This book shows how the example of the earliest Christians can offer today's believers encouragement and hope.

  Twenty-first-century how-to advice that embraces and celebrates the role of  the single parent and the children those parents love, from the author of the internationally bestselling Understanding Your Child series, and host of New Life Live!, the nation's number one Christian call-in counseling show. 
   
   
   
  Most of the parenting books currently in circulation were written decades ago. Therefore, they do not address—nor could they address—all the issues parents face today in the era of technology and excess. Parents do not need another article that contradicts the last one they read; rather, they need insights, techniques, and strategies to tackle the pressing issues of twenty-first-century parenting. That's what the Understanding and Loving Your Child series of books will do. 
   
   
   
  Understanding and Loving Your Child as a Single Parent will encourage parents who have lost their partner, or never had one. It will offer tips and pointers on being present for the children while taking time to care for themselves.
