  • The Book of Isaiah and God's Kingdom: A Thematic-Theological Approach, By Andrew Abernethy
    paperback

    The Book of Isaiah and God's Kingdom

    A Thematic-Theological Approach

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Andrew Abernethy
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    The book of Isaiah has nourished the church throughout the centuries. However, its massive size can be intimidating; its historical setting can seem distant, opaque, varied; its organization and composition can seem disjointed and fragmented; its abundance of terse, poetic language can make its message seem veiled—and where are those explicit prophecies about Christ? These are typical experiences ...

    Awaken Your Senses

    Exercises for Exploring the Wonder of God

    by J. Brent Bill and Beth A. Booram

    Perhaps you've been missing out. God has given us five senses and a brain with two sides. Yet we often approach God in one way only: through words that are analyzed and processed logically in our left brain. The right brain, however, is the creative, intuitive center--the place that connects most to our seeing, smelling, touching, tasting and hearing, and that roots experiences in our hearts in ...

    paperback

    The Fire of the Word

    Meeting God on Holy Ground

    by Chris Webb
    Foreword by Richard J. Foster

    The Bible has the astounding power to transform lives. The stories of people like Francis of Assisi, Antony of Egypt, Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther and Martin Luther King Jr. vividly demonstrate this. Why aren't more of us transformed by Scripture today? Too often we study biblical texts without believing that God truly inhabits this book. Scripture seeks to capture our minds, not merely educate ...

    A Mouth Full of Fire

    The Word of God in the Words of Jeremiah

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Andrew G. Shead
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    "I am putting my words as a fire in your mouth; these people are tinder and it will consume them." (Jeremiah 5:14) In the book of Jeremiah, not only is the vocabulary of "word" and "words" uniquely prevalent, but formulae marking divine speech also play an unprecedented role in giving the book's final form its narrative and theological shape. Indeed, "the word of the Lord" is arguably the main ...

    Devotional Practices for Memorizing God's Word

    by Joshua Choonmin Kang
    Foreword by Dallas Willard

    Why memorize the Bible? In our information-saturated society, with so many details to take in, the idea of memorizing Scripture can seem overwhelming--like one more task on a checklist. But pastor Joshua Choonmin Kang has discovered what happens when we do spend time memorizing God's Word: we grasp a larger, truer picture of God. We more closely and more often imitate Christ. We worship ...

    God calls us first to himself, to know and follow him, and also to a specific life purpose, a particular reason for being.

    "How have you been?" a friend asks. "Busy," we say. Much of our busyness is necessary to our survival or to the wellbeing of others and ourselves.
