paperbackPreaching in the New Testament
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Jonathan Griffiths
Series edited by D. A. CarsonMany Christians share the assumption that preaching the word of God is at the heart of God's plans for the gospel in our age, that it is vital for the church's health, and that it is the central task of the pastor-teacher. Many helpful books on preaching are available. The vast majority are concerned with "how-to," but relatively few focus primarily on the character and theology of preaching according ...

paperbackBroke
What Financial Desperation Revealed about God's Abundance
by Caryn Rivadeneira
"Broke was not in the cards for me. . . . Girls—then women—like us stay strong through it all. A little (or big) financial setback doesn't break us. Or our connection to God."

paperbackInterpreting Old Testament Wisdom Literature
Edited by David G. Firth and Lindsay Wilson
In popular perception, Wisdom literature is a "self-help" or "philosophy" section of the Old Testament library—the odd and interesting bits of canonical mortar between History and Prophets. Themes that are prominent elsewhere in the Old Testament receive only scant attention in the wisdom books. Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes focus on everyday life rather than on God's special dealings with the ...

Edited by Joseph T. Lienhard
