Four centuries had past since Pierre Paul Rubens painted a collection of three commissioned portraits; sisters - one of which would hand down a legacy. Alex Sachs, an average Englishman to his friends, would be bequeathed through his unknown grandfather, a legacy of his own. Along with this heritage and by sheer happenstance, he would meet a woman who unbeknownst to herself was part of this very legacy. Their journey involves art theft on a grand and historic scale while traveling from Jerusalem to London, from Milan and Florence to Paris and the French countryside. The narrative flows in time from sixteenth to nineteenth century Italy and travels to Nazi occupied Paris, while never loosing touch with its Abiding Legacy.

Even though God is beyond our full comprehension, we can know his nature and character. Digging into his Word and seeking to know him day by day will make for one amazing journey—with a new treasure to discover in every encounter. God knows you and calls you by name. And yes, it’s possible for you to know God—on a first-name basis. Each of the 8 chapters: • Focuses on God’s nature and attributes as illustrated by one of his personal names/descriptions found in the Old Testament. • Provides insight into how the particular aspect of God relates to faith and daily life. • Provides “First-Name Basis” discussion questions for individual or group study. • Concludes with suggestions for “Getting Acquainted with” God—further study, activities, or projects that relate to the description of God discussed in the chapter. • Ideal for home small groups, adult Bible fellowships, Sunday school classes, and book clubs

"Hold fast." This is the word of the risen Christ, the one who has eyes like flames of fire, who holds seven stars in his right hand and who searches the minds and hearts of all humans. In Revelation 2–3 his word comes to us like a two-edged sword, both encouraging and judging. Jesus calls us to hold fast in the face of temptations of all sorts, but sternly warns those who follow false teachings. Though Jesus is speaking to seven ancient churches of Asia Minor, his words ring true today, calling us to <ul>
<li>patient endurance</li>
<li>not fearing tribulation</li>
<li>repenting of a dead faith</li>
<li>keeping God's Word</li>
<li>receiving the crown of life</li>
<li>the blessings of conquerors</li>
</ul>Jesus Speaks combines short devotional chapters with a seven-session small group guide, which forms a church-wide series when coupled with the companion seven-session DVD. Jesus offers us his guidance through both the pitfalls and paths toward holiness. Are you ready to listen?

Jesus Speaks: Holding Fast in a World of Compromise (Jesus Speaks Set)

Jones, J. K.

Probst, Jim

As Christians, we are called to speak. Some of us speak out in our workplaces. Others in our schools or neighborhoods. Our audiences may vary in size, but we are all called to witness to Christ in us. Pastor Mike Baker puts it like this: "Jesus himself has commissioned each of us to be a witness for his kingdom. And every believer has a faith testimony―a story of how Jesus has made all the difference―compelling us to be his representatives." Written in daily devotional style, this book is designed to be an encouragement and support as you identify and add your voice to the chorus. In addition to the chapters by Mike Baker, there are daily devotions by J. K. Jones and a seven-session weekly group study guide by Jim Probst to help you process all that you are learning. Also available is a companion DVD of brief weekly video teachings by all three pastors, which completes this church-wide curriculum series. We live in an age of meaningless chatter. It's time we became speakers of Truth.

Mike Baker asks two questions you may be asking, "Is there room for another book about leadership? Do I really need another book that provides me a list of things I need to accomplish in order to be a successful leader?" Most leaders do not need another list. But what may be helpful is to observe other leaders in a variety of leadership situations in order to grow by learning from their example. Mike has offered his observations of the Old Testament kings through the lens of leadership. This easy read examines the leadership of Israel's kings good and bad, obedient and sinful, some we can look up to, others to learn from their mistakes, but within every example you can see God's glory and ultimate purpose. Open your Old Testament and receive counsel from the kings! Book jacket.
