Sinossi

Ancient Prophets explores the lives and teachings of influential figures who shaped religious history across diverse traditions. It examines prophecy not just as prediction, but as a blend of ethical guidance, social critique, and spiritual insight. These prophets, despite cultural and temporal differences, often shared calls for justice and compassion, challenging existing social norms. Interestingly, many prophets faced significant opposition, yet their messages continue to inspire moral action and social reform today.

 
The book presents a structured journey, starting with an introduction to prophecy in traditions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It then offers biographical and contextual analyses of figures such as Isaiah, Jesus, and Muhammad, detailing their lives and teachings within their social settings. Finally, it synthesizes these studies to identify common themes in prophetic thought, exploring their impact on religious law, ethical implications, and relevance to contemporary issues.

 
The approach is to use historical context to interpret their messages and appreciate their relevance to contemporary issues.

In the Shadow of the River

Ann H. Gabhart

If all the world's a stage, Jacci will play her part.  
 
She only hopes her story does not turn out to be a tragedy. 
 
In 1881, Jacci Reed is only five years old when a man attempts to kidnap her from the steamboat her mother, Irena, works on. Badly wounded during the confrontation, Irena takes Jacci aboard the Kingston Floating Palace, a showboat tied up beside them. There, Jacci's actor grandfather tends to her mother, and Jacci gets a first taste of the life she will come to lead. 
 
Fifteen years later, Jacci is an actress aboard that same showboat and largely contented with her adopted family of actors, singers, and dancers. Especially Gabe, who has always supported her, and the gruff grandfather she has come to know and love. Jacci's mother has been gone for years, but the memory of the altercation that ultimately took her life--and the cryptic things Jacci has overheard about her past--is always there, lurking in the back of her mind. 
 
When someone on the showboat tries to kill Jacci, it's clear her questions demand answers. But secrets have a way of staying in the shadows . . . and the answers she craves will not come easily. 
 
"Gabhart delivers an atmospheric romance set on an 1890s showboat with plenty of secrets below deck."--Publishers Weekly 
 
"Gabhart's masterful storytelling glows with personality and page-turning surprises."--Booklist

What Is the Church's Mission?

Jonathan Leeman

How Can We Know What the Church Is Supposed to Do?
Jesus commissioned the local church to carry out a mission. Yet local churches often disagree over exactly what Jesus commanded them to do, leading them to align their mission with current political or economic trends. So what does the Bible have to say?
In this short ebook, Jonathan Leeman argues from Scripture that the mission of the church is first and foremost to make disciples—the task that each local assembly is called to do collectively—and to be disciples—the task for each individual Christian. He equips readers to obey this disciple-making mission both inside and outside the local church as they seek to follow Christ's call and make God's glory known in all the world.

- A Brief and Accessible Resource: A helpful tool for Christians who are looking for answers to their questions about the church
- Biblical and Christ-Centered: Presents a vision for the church that is centered in the commands of Christ to his disciples in Matthew 28
- Clear Guidance for Churches: Helps local churches and individual Christians understand what it means to make disciples and be disciples in their various contexts

Jennie Allen

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! 
Read by the author.  
If there was a core lie sabotaging your life, wouldn’t you want to know what it is? 
And wouldn’t you want to find the way to be free? 
Most of us have been living inside a lie so long it feels like the truth. It has quietly shaped our identity, our relationships, and even how we see God. Until we see it, we’ll keep circling the same frustrations, the same shame, the same thoughts of I’ll never change. But freedom is possible. In The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe, Jennie Allen pulls back the curtain on the enemy’s oldest trick—and shows us how to dismantle it with the spiritual authority we already have in Christ. She guides us through how to:Spot the three core lies everyone believes—and name the one running your life.Trace the moment your lie took root and how the enemy’s been using it to keep you stuck.Cut ties with your old narratives so they stop shaping your choices.Challenge lies in real time and replace them with God’s truth. 
  
This isn’t about behavior modification. This is about transferring your life out of the enemy’s kingdom of lies and into the kingdom of light—where joy, peace, and strength aren’t fleeting feelings but your everyday reality. Freedom starts here. Take hold of it.
