EbookThe Life and Witness of Peter
by Larry R. Helyer
Who was Peter and what was his true stature in the early church? For Protestants at least, Peter seems caught between two caricatures: the rustic fisherman of Galilee and the author of two lesser New Testament letters. And in both cases he is overshadowed by Paul.

PaperbackThe Message of Revelation
The Bible Speaks Today Series
by Michael Wilcock
What is the book of Revelation? Does it describe in veiled language events of its writer's own day, or is it largely a prophecy of events still to come? What should readers today do with strange scenes such as creatures covered with eyes, seven bowls of wrath, and a seven-headed dragon?
Michael Wilcock lifts the curtain on Revelation as a drama in eight scenes, highlighting ...
