Did the Resurrection Really Happen?

Timothy Paul Jones

Sinopse

A Concise Look at the Evidence for Christ's Resurrection 
The entire Christian faith depends on the belief that Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead. If there was no empty tomb, Christians have an empty faith. But how can we be confident the resurrection really happened? 
In this concise booklet, author Timothy Paul Jones addresses the doubts and questions that arise from Jesus's resurrection as recorded in the New Testament. Jones argues this story is not a mere repetition of old pagan tales or a fabrication to fulfill Jewish expectations. Instead, it was a historical event, and that is supported by compelling evidence, including accounts of men and women who were willing to die for what they believed they had seen. 
Skeptics are correct to assume that such claims should not be taken lightly. But what happens if Jesus really did rise from the dead? What would it mean for me and you? 

- Written for Skeptics: A respectful appeal to those who doubt Jesus's story that provides convincing evidence for his resurrection
- Short, Accessible Format: A concise exploration of the resurrection of Jesus and why it matters for believers today
- Part of the TGC Hard Questions Series: Equips readers with answers to difficult questions facing today's church

Blessed Are the Peacemakers...

Helen Paynter

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Blessed Are the Peacemakers Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.
This audio series dives deeply into the topic of human violence. Old Testament scholar Helen Paynter sets out the contours by addressing the various definitions of violence and the theories of its origins, prevalence, and purpose. What is violence? Is violence a human or social construct, or can we describe natural phenomena as violent? How does the concept of violence relate to the concept of evil? How do we resist violence?
Starting with the creation narratives in Genesis, ancient Near Eastern myths, and the conquest of Canaan, Blessed Are the Peacemakers Audio Lectures investigates the origins of human violence and its consequences. Through the voices of the prophets and in the teaching of Jesus, the Bible reveals that the seeds of violence exist within every human heart. Even though we see evidence of resistance movements in the Bible, it is only on the cross that an absorption of violence by God takes place through self-sacrifice. Lessons also consider how the first Christians responded to the structural violence of slavery and patriarchy and how they began to apply Jesus's redemptive, non-vengeful theology to their own day.
In addition to providing a comprehensive biblical theology of violence, Paynter probes behind the headlines and politicized rhetoric to provide a careful analysis of violence in our world. She concludes by setting forth a bold framework and practical suggestions for an effective and faithful Christian response to the scriptural teaching.

The Life-Changing Art of...

MD Warren

What if it were possible for you to make structural changes to your own brain so it's healthier and less prone to depression, anxiety, grief, worry, and other issues that make you unhappy and keep you stuck?

In this neuroscience-based, faith-infused, and immensely practical guide, Dr. W. Lee Warren, a practicing neurosurgeon, trauma survivor, and award-winning writer, reveals how to take control of your own mental, emotional, and physical healing by reordering your mind to change your brain-resulting in a radically transformed life that is healthier, happier, and more hopeful.


Since the development of functional brain imaging in the early 2000's, we now know that thoughts can direct structural changes in the brain as or more effectively than medicines or surgery and can do so more quickly. That means, whether we know it or not, we're all brain surgeons.

The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery will help you:

- learn and master several types of "self-brain surgery" operations to move from floundering to flourishing
- heal from trauma, tragedy, and other types of hardship
- overcome anxiety, depression, loneliness and other emotional and mental health struggles
- conquer limiting or negative thinking
- break old habits and create new ones
- build resilience and wellbeing
- become an empowered, hopeful person no matter what you're facing
With the skill of a surgeon, the wounds of a trauma-survivor, the lessons of a scientist, and a hard-won faith that we are wired for happiness here on earth and not just in the hereafter, Dr. Warren walks readers into nothing less than a new way of life.

Why Jesus’ baptism is relevant for our salvation 
The similarities and differences between the temptation of the first Adam and the temptation of Jesus, the “second Adam” 
How God uses song to celebrate his redemptive acts 
Why the Last Supper marks the beginning of a greater exodus than that of the Old Testament 
How Jesus’ death and resurrection are grounded in the eternal covenant among the persons of the Trinity 
Why Jesus’ ascension makes a difference in our lives today 
What we know and don’t know about Jesus’ return 
Moving from Jesus’ existence from before creation through His incarnation, boyhood, adulthood, death, resurrection, and return, Dr. Sproul guides you to a deeper understanding of God’s beautiful promise and purpose behind the works of Christ’s life.
