Sinopse

This is a translation of the Kebra Nagast, a tremendous collection of Ethiopian Biblical folklore. The Kebra Nagast tells the legend of the Queen of Sheba's son by King Solomon, Menyelek (also known herein as Bayna-Lehkem and David II). Menyelek engineers a plot to take the Tabernacle of the Law of God (i.e., the Ark of the Covenant) to Ethiopia. This is done at the behest of an Angel of God who predicts the downfall of the kingdom of Solomon.
Comitted to writing in the fourteenth century, the Kebra Nagast was derived from Ethiopian oral traditions of the Queen of Sheba and her state marriage with Solomon. The Kebra Nagast has been cited as one of the sources of the Rastafarian movement because of its support of Ethiopian theocracy.

Within every person there is a longing that no amount of food, no career accomplishment, no possession can ever fill, for this is a longing of the spirit: the ever-present reminder that we are each blessed with a vast potential. On Appetites, bestselling author Geneen Roth looks beyond her 15 years of pioneering work with women, food, and body image, to ask the greatest of questions: What truly nourishes the human spirit? Through the lens of her own life experience, Roth examines the core of spirituality, and the feelings and behaviors that can mask it. What happens when deep inner need is answered only with external “satisfaction”? Why is it that we are still left feeling empty, no matter how much we try to accomplish in a day? Appetites shows that beneath the frustration and unaccountable hunger you feel lies a reservoir of strength and courage, waiting to direct you to the true nourishment that you seek.

Despite being so called 'Holy ground' churches retain a deeply gothic element. Especially in lent, when the singing stops, the flowers are removed and the statues stand covered from head to toe in a long purple robe of mourning. Then, during the quiet of a winter's eve, the flickering shadows show more than they should and sometimes sounds far darker than prayers float up from between the pews...

Replacing Loneliness with a Biblical Vision of Belonging
A local church should be a place of true community and connection—where people belong to God and one another. But in our individualistic culture, many Christians end up struggling with social isolation and loneliness. Lacking a sense of authentic belonging within the church, some eventually stop attending or question their faith altogether. How can believers overcome these negative cultural effects and restore the biblical vision of belonging in their churches today?
In this concise booklet, author and pastor Jeremy Linneman encourages readers to pursue a life of fellowship through 5 practices: taking initiative in hospitality, being patient in building friendships, maintaining relational stability, persisting through conflict, and praying together. By understanding the human need for belonging and reflecting on Jesus's lifestyle of mission, ministry, and care, readers will be better equipped to build fruitful communities that bear witness to Christ's glory and purposes alone. 

- Offers a Biblical Vision of Belonging: Shows how true belonging is only found in a local Christian community 
- Useful for Church Leaders: Encourages church leaders to build needed spiritual communities that bear witness to Christ's glory alone
- Short, Accessible Format: A concise biblical exploration of belonging and community
- TGC Hard Questions Series: Equips readers with answers to difficult questions facing the modern church

Engaging 12-Week Study Helps Readers Better Understand and Apply God's Word
The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God's Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) "Gospel Glimpses" highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) "Whole-Bible Connections" show how any given passage connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) "Theological Soundings" identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture.
In The Sermon on the Mount, Drew Hunter examines the biblical event that led to some of Jesus's most well-known statements, including the Beatitudes. Guiding readers through Matthew 5–7 passage by passage, this guide demonstrates that the Sermon the Mount is not a disorganized collection of sayings, but a series of naturally progressing sections.  

- Helpful Bible Study Resource: Features date and historical background, theological context for the Bible passage, "Whole-Bible Connections," compelling reflection questions, and more
- In-Depth: Ties the biblical text in with the whole story of Scripture, shows how each passage unveils the gospel, and illuminates the doctrines taught in each passage
- Part of the Knowing the Bible Series: With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies help Christians see and cherish the message of God's grace on every page of the Bible
