  Kelly Minter explores what it means—in real life—to “clothe” ourselves (Col. 3:12) in Christian virtues like forgiveness, joy, patience, compassion, and more. 
  Colossians 3:12 tells us to “clothe” ourselves in Christian virtues like forgiveness, joy, patience, compassion. But how does that work in real life? Can we really “dress up” in the character of Christ? Kelly Minter says the answer is yes—if we let the Master Designer do the fitting. This relatable book offers insightful Scripture study with real-life stories and simple, down-to-earth explanations of tricky concepts as justification and sanctification—stitching it all together with dry humor and down-to-earth honesty. There are no gimmicks, no guilt trips, just an irresistible invitation for women to enjoy a spiritual makeover—to put on a life that’s personally tailored by the One who knows and loves them best.

  When People Are Big and God Is...

  However you put it, the fear of man can be summarized this way: We replace God with people. Instead of a biblically guided fear of the Lord, we fear others. Of course, the "fear of man" goes by other names. When we are in our teens, it is called "peer pressure." When we are older, it is called "people-pleasing." Recently, it has been called "codependency." With these labels in mind, we can spot the fear of man everywhere.
  
  The problem is clear: People are too big in our lives and God is too small. The answer is straightforward: We must learn to know that our God is more loving and more powerful than we ever imagined. Yet this task is not easy. Even if we worked at the most spectacular of national parks, or the bush in our backyard started burning without being consumed, or Jesus appeared and wrestled a few rounds with us, we would not be guaranteed a persistent reverence of God. Too often our mountain-top experiences are quickly overtaken by the clamor of the world, and God once again is diminished in our minds. The goal is to establish a daily tradition of growing in the knowledge of God.

  Weymouth New Testament 
  The Weymouth New Testament is a distinctive English translation of the New Testament first published in 1903. It was the work of Richard Francis Weymouth (1822–1902), a noted English schoolmaster and classical scholar. Weymouth based his translation on the Greek text he himself had compiled, The Resultant Greek Testament, which sought to present the text most widely accepted by scholars of his time. 
  A primary aim of the translation was to render the New Testament into clear, modern, and idiomatic English for the contemporary reader. Weymouth described his method as "idiomatic rather than verbal," prioritizing the natural flow and meaning of English over a strict word-for-word correspondence. This makes the translation remarkably readable and accessible, even by today's standards, though its language retains a dignified, early 20th-century character. 
  The translation was published posthumously, with final editing and notes provided by his literary executor, Ernest Hampden-Cook. It includes numerous footnotes offering alternative readings and explanatory comments on the Greek text, reflecting Weymouth's scholarly rigor. 
  The Weymouth New Testament is often praised for its clarity and elegant simplicity. It occupies a unique place among modern translations, being one of the earliest to deliberately employ contemporary English idiom. It continues to be valued by students, general readers, and scholars interested in the history of Bible translation for its pioneering approach to making the biblical text understandable in the vernacular of its day.

  To Walk the Earth Again - The...

  The Protestant conviction that believers would rise again, in bodily form, after death, shaped their attitudes towards personal and religious identity, community, empire, progress, race, and the environment. In To Walk the Earth Again Christopher Trigg explores the political dimension of Anglo-American Protestant writing about the future resurrection of the dead, examining texts written between the seventeenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. By reading histories, poetry, funeral sermons, and scientific tracts alongside works of eschatological exegesis, Trigg challenges the conventional scholarly assumption that Protestantism's rejection of purgatory prepared the way for the individualization and secularization of Western attitudes towards mortality. 
   
   
   
  Puritans, Anglicans, Quakers, and radicals looked to resurrection to understand their communities' prospects in the uncertain terrain of colonial America. Their belief that political identities and religious duties did not expire with their mortal bodies shaped their positions on a variety of issues, including the limits of ecclesiastical and civil power, the relationship of humanity to the natural world, and the emerging rhetoric of racial difference. By taking early modern Protestant beliefs seriously, Trigg unfolds new perspectives on their mutually constitutive visions of earthly and resurrected existence.

  A Heroine Called Rahab

  Yes, it’s true – Rahab was a prostitute – until the day God redeemed her. But gratefully, once we have been redeemed, God doesn’t see any of us through the lens of our sin; rather, He sees us through the lens of His Son.  It was by faith, this woman of courage and strength did not die with all the others in her city. And it was by faith, she became a part of the ancestral line that led to the advent of Jesus.  This is the story of the heroine who protected the Israelite spies … and so much more.  Consider her story and the story of the times in which she lived — the portion you may already know … and the rest of the story that could have been.
