Sinopsis

Pursue a Biblical Basis for Your Political Engagement  
 
How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? 
 
In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused.  
 
Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help readers  
● faithfully read Scripture 
● talk with others about it 
● apply it to contemporary political issues--and to their lives 
 
★ "A nuanced look at America's legacy of scriptural language."--Publishers Weekly starred review

    However fervent our first love for the Lord, we are all prone to drift. Our hearts can grow cold and our faith become a mere formality before we've even realized. Thankfully there's an answer, and it's the same regardless of our feelings or situation: we need to stare long and hard at the profundity of Christ's love poured out for us on the cross. But it's often helpful to have a guide come alongside us, and that's exactly what Paul Mallard does in his exploration of how Jesus fulfills Psalm 22. He reminds us that our joy in Christ comes not from performance but from proximity. This is the anchor our souls need to provide stability in the raging tempests of life.

    “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”  ―Genesis 3:15 We’ve all heard this story: the hero fights a dragon in an epic battle, and just as it appears the dragon is going to prevail, the hero saves the day. Best-selling novels and blockbuster movies are filled with this type of story, but did you know that this is the main theme of the Bible too?  Tracing the theme of serpents and dragons through both Testaments, trusted scholar Andrew David Naselli demonstrates that these stories reflect our desire to know the ultimate story―the struggle between God’s offspring and the offspring of the serpent. As we come to experience this captivating, unifying narrative, we will rejoice in the ultimate victory of Jesus―the serpent slayer―over the devouring dragon in Revelation.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Have you ever felt the crushing weight of “never enough”? It is a lie that robs you of joy and strength, blinds you to God’s grace, and convinces you that your worth depends on what you do instead of who Christ is. 
    This book was written out of that burden. In one way or another, we have all whispered the words, “I am not good enough.” For some, it sparks an endless cycle of striving. For others, it becomes the reason to stop trying altogether. Too often, it is the harshest voice inside our own heads that repeats it. But that is not the truth. The Cross tells a different story. 
    Through honest reflections, real struggles, and the stories of people in Scripture who wrestled with the same feelings, you will see how Christ meets us in weakness. He does not condemn us. He steps in to exchange the lie for His truth. These pages will help you face the false labels of failure, fear, and inadequacy and discover the reality of a Savior who defines your worth and empowers your life. 
    This is not a book of polished answers or lofty theology. It is a companion for real life, written for the weary, the overlooked, the anxious, the fearful, the guilty, the broken, the lost, the empty, and the searching. In Christ, “not worthy” is never the end of the story. The Cross declares your worth and strengthens your steps. He is more than enough, and through Him, so are you. 
    You are more than able, because the Cross says you are.

    "The school of life is preparation for eternity with God." No God, no passing grades! And the best students in this particular school are the ones who know that the bell signaling the end of the last class may ring when least expected. With creative word pictures like this, and the spiritual depth and insight that comes from a lifetime of worshipping the Lord, popular author, pastor, and teacher Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe guides you through the mountains and valleys of Psalms 90-150. 
    Pastor or layperson, you'll devour the timeless truths this commentary has to offer. You will learn much from the practical nature of this study and the challenges it presents. But more important, you will see yourself in the different writers of the Psalms—pillars of the faith like Moses and David—people who experienced failure and doubt, but who also savored a deep relationship with a tenderhearted Father. You will not only learn of their trials and triumphs, but be lead to worship God in a more meaningful way.
