Holy Bible - Joel - New Living...

Tyndale House Publishers

HOLY BIBLE - JOEL: 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.

Standing Strong in the Anointing...

James W. Goll, Kris Vallotton

Supernatural experiences can be powerfully moving, but they also can be diverse and complex. God desires to anoint all His people with His supernatural power so that we can encounter Him in deep and personal ways. To rightly walk in this power, we must understand both the opportunity and the responsibility that come with this invitation. 
 
 
 
After experiencing numerous moves of the Spirit and seeing many tragic casualties in the church, Dr. James Goll has written Standing Strong in the Anointing to help us understand the biblical nature of the anointing, interpret the various ways of the Holy Spirit, and walk wisely as we experience divine encounters. You will learn how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to increase the anointing in your life; unlock supernatural encounters; recognize the deception and temptations that can undermine the anointing; and safeguard your faith so you can finish strong. 
 
 
 
The ultimate goal of any supernatural encounter is to reveal Jesus. He is our great reward, and He is also able to keep us from stumbling as we discern the traps and embrace all the blessings of supernatural encounters. We have been entrusted with the priceless power and presence of God. Let us endeavor to stand strong in that anointing so that we can bear lasting fruit—in our lives and for the growth of God's kingdom on earth.

In This Family We (fill in the...

Dr. Elden Daniel

In This Family We _________ our earthly family and the Spiritual family of a Jesus follower are compared and contrasted. The influences of our earthly families are examined and discussed. The characteristics of members of the Lord’s family are identified from Scripture. The process that the Lord has designed for the Jesus follower to become more like Jesus is explored and explained. We recognize the wonder of God’s provision of the gift the Holy Spirit placed in the Jesus follower and how through their renewed minds they are transformed into godliness. The transformation is a wonderful work of God. Jesus followers will understand more completely what it means to be a child of God. Since the born-again believer is a new creation, the reader will discover how to become a Jesus follower. The Jesus follower will also be shown an extensive list of thinking patterns and behaviors that characterize the Lord's children. The transformation involves a process of putting on the thoughts and behaviors of God’s children and putting off the thoughts and behaviors of the old man. This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17).Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him (Colossians 3:9-10).

Valuable - Why Your Worth Is Not...

Liz Carter

Come and see that our purpose as Christians is not about being useful but about being known by God and enjoying him.  We all want to be useful to God, but often we feel that we’re not, or, because of illness or other difficulties, that we can’t be as active as we’d like to be. Liz Carter wants to rescue us from the spiral of feeling useless that we get caught in, and to show us that being useful isn’t what Christianity is about. In fact, the Bible barely talks about God using people at all.  Weaving together insightful Scriptural analysis and beautifully told stories, Liz takes us on a journey to see what the Bible really says about weakness, identity, and God’s purposes for us: helping us to see ourselves and our relationship with God in an entirely different and much more glorious way. Readers will discover that our purpose as Christians is not about being useful but about being known by God and enjoying him.  This book is particularly helpful for those struggling with long-term physical or mental illness, but it’s also a great encouragement to Christians who feel that they are not good enough or useful enough to God for other reasons.  Questions at the end of each chapter make this a helpful resource to read with a friend or in groups.
