How to Read Series
We should read a poem very differently than we read a history book, and we read both of them differently than we'd read a novel. The same is true when it comes to our approach to Scripture. That's why this series does just what its name describes: helps you understand the proper way to read various books of the Bible.
You can read the Bible on your own, and its main themes will be clear enough. ...

paperbackThe Message of the Word of God
by Tim Meadowcroft
"Any coherent comment on what the Bible says about the Bible, the Christian Scriptures," says Tim Meadowcroft, "must address the wider notion that God speaks."

In this Bible Speaks Today commentary, Joyce G. Baldwin shows how the vivid narratives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph still speak to us today, highlighting God's ways of dealing with ordinary, imperfect people ...

paperbackJoel and Amos
An Introduction and Commentary
Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries
by Tchavdar S. Hadjiev
Joel's arresting imagery—blasting trumpet, darkened sun, and marching hosts—has shaped the church's eschatological vision of a day of wrath. Amos's ringing indictments—callous oppression, heartless worship, and self-seeking gain—have periodically awakened the conscience of God's people. Twenty-five-hundred years later, those prophetic words still speak powerfully. This Tyndale commentary by Tchavdar ...

paperbackForgiveness
Making Peace with the Past
LifeGuide Bible Studies
by Douglas Connelly
Forgiveness is a door. It's the way to peace and joy. But it's a small door, and it can't be entered without stooping—or kneeling. And sometimes it is very hard to find. When we hurt the people we love, how do we go about restoring the relationship? When we suffer the pain of betrayal or injury or rejection from someone else, how do we deal with the anger and resentment we feel? In eight studies, ...
