    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.

    The Making of the New Testament

    Origin, Collection, Text & Canon

    by Arthur G. Patzia

    The story of the making of the New Testament is one in which scrolls bumped across cobbled Roman roads and pitched through rolling Mediterranean seas, finally finding their destinations in stuffy, dimly lit Christian house churches in Corinth or Colossae.
