  Old Testament Exegesis Fifth...

  For years, Douglas Stuart's Old Testament Exegesis has been one of the most popular ways to learn how to perform exegesis—the science and art of interpreting biblical texts properly for understanding as well as proclamation. This new edition includes a major revision and updates past editions by including a helpful configuration of the format for the exegesis process. Stuart provides guidance for full exegesis as well as for a quicker approach specifically tailored to the task of preaching. A glossary of terms explains the sometimes-bewildering language of biblical scholarship, and a list of frequent errors guides the student in avoiding common mistakes. No exegetical guide for the Old Testament has been more widely used in training ministers and students to be faithful, careful interpreters of Scripture.

  Buckle Up, Pilgrim: Take a ride into the Heart of Faith with John Bunyan If you're looking for a comfortable, easy read, this ain't it. John Bunyan's words are a fire that'll burn away the fluff and leave you standing face-to-face with the raw truth of your own soul.  Think about it: Have you ever believed in something so fiercely that you'd risk everything for it? Your freedom? Your life? That's what Bunyan did. He, and countless others like him, were labeled rebels, outcasts, even heretics. They were jailed, persecuted, some even killed. All because they dared to stand up for their faith.  And guess what? The ripple effects of their fight for freedom reached far beyond their own shores. The Pilgrims who landed on Plymouth Rock? They were part of the same movement that Bunyan championed: the Puritans. Their courage not only laid the groundwork for religious liberty in America but also inspired countless others around the world to stand up for their own right to worship freely.  This book isn't just some dusty old relic. It's a collection of Bunyan's writings, penned in a cold, damp prison cell. As I read his words, I felt like I was right there with him, sharing his struggles, his hopes, his unwavering faith.  Let me be frank, I expected this book to be dry, maybe even a little boring. But Bunyan's words hit me like a lightning bolt. They're raw, they're real, and they speak to the deepest parts of the human heart.  How could a man locked away for his beliefs write with such passion, such love? What drove him? What made him tick? That's what we're going to discover together.  We're diving deep into Bunyan's world, exploring the timeless themes of sin, salvation, and the relentless love of God. We'll confront the darkness within ourselves, but we won't stay there. Bunyan will lead us to the foot of the cross, where grace and forgiveness flow freely.  Get ready for a wild ride. Bunyan's words will challenge you, inspire you, and maybe even shake you to your core. But if you're willing to take this journey, you'll come out the other side transformed.  So, are you ready? Let's walk this pilgrim's path together. From Dungeons to Glory: A New Look at the Classics This book is part of a series titled From Dungeons to Glory, which features the writings of Christian authors who were imprisoned for their faith. The first two books in the series are Pilgrim on God and Salvation and Pilgrim on the Path to Eternity, both of which are based on Bunyan's original work, The Riches of Bunyan as Selected from His Works.  I hope you'll join me on this journey through Bunyan's timeless words. May they bring you closer to God and help you to live a life of faith, hope, and love.

  Chris Paul, "The Point God," a member of the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team and current point guard for the Phoenix Suns, narrates this compelling memoir. Deeply affected by the untimely death of his grandfather, Nathaniel "PaPa Chili" Jones, Paul recounts the inspiration and influence PaPa Chili continues to play in his life and career. A powerful and unexpected memoir of family, faith, tragedy, and life's most important lessons.The day after future NBA superstar Chris Paul signed his letter of intent to play college basketball for Wake Forest, he received a world-shattering phone call. His grandfather, Nathaniel "Papa" Jones, a pillar of the Winston-Salem community where he owned and operated the first Black-owned service station in North Carolina, was mugged and ultimately died from a heart attack resulting from the assault. His funeral filled the largest church in the county, which held over one thousand people. He was sixty-one years old.The day after burying his grandfather, Chris was coping the best way he knew how: by playing basketball for his high school team. After pouring in shot after shot, his last attempt was an airball purposely flung out of bounds from the foul line before Chris exited the game. The next day, local news headlines declared that he fell six points shy of the statewide single game high school scoring record. But he accomplished exactly what he set out to do: scoring sixty-one points, one for each year of life lived by his grandfather.In Sixty-One, Chris opens up about life beyond basketball and the role his grandfather played in molding him into the man and father he is today. He’ll speak about the foundation of faith and family he built his life upon, what it means to be a positive light within your community and beyond, and the importance of setting the proper example for future generations. Most importantly, Chris will talk about his home, Winston-Salem, and the close-knit family and village that raised him to become one of the most respected leaders in all of sports.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.

  It was a time of spiritualism. A world full of myth, mystery and mysticism. The people were open to the possibilities of life after death, supernatural powers and magic. 
   
  Into this world stepped a fascinating wizard of the mind and his name was Rasputin. Great powers to heal the sick, to save the wretched, prophesy the future and to bring on fits of spiritual excitement. He was a god of hypnosis and mesmerism and a master of trickery and magic. 
   
  Mad monk, mystic, prophet, man of God or con-man? Rasputin's evil eyes stare at us across the generations as a warning shot to all those who would believe without question the words of a self-proclaimed spiritual man.

  The intriguing, in-depth story of the most powerful woman in Canadian politics. *A NATIONAL BESTSELLER* 
   
   
   
  Catherine Tsalikis traces Chrystia Freeland's remarkable journey from the northwestern Alberta town of Peace River to Moscow, London, and New York, where she spent two decades as a journalist, to the halls of Parliament Hill as deputy prime minister and finance minister in Justin Trudeau's Liberal government. Ambitious and talented with a work ethic to match, Freeland has had an impressive run since she entered politics in 2013: spearheading major trade negotiations, expertly navigating relations with an erratic US president, speaking out about human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, and standing up to Vladimir Putin's aggressions in Ukraine. 
   
   
   
  With her impeccable research, seasoned perspective, and accessible style, Tsalikis brings Freeland's story to life. The defining moments and experiences that shaped Freeland's particular worldview illuminate the answers to larger social questions: how to live a good, useful life; how to hold fast to guiding principles; how to break through glass ceilings. This is a unique behind-the-curtains look at Canadian politics through the story of a trailblazing woman.
