God in Everday Life: The Book of Ruth for Expositors and Biblical Counselors

Brandt, Brad

A verse-by-verse commentary on the book of Lamentations, as well as a biblical counselor's guide to using Lamentations in counseling situations. Paul Tautges and Eric Kress have given to us a wonderful exposition of the often neglected book of Lamentations. Not only have they brought the full meaning of the text to the surface, but they have filled the commentary with practical suggestions of ways in which this much needed teaching on how to act in the midst of deep suffering can be carried out to the glory of God and the personal enrichment of each individual believer. I heartily recommend this book for those who are in times of deep distress and for the body of Christ that needs to be prepared for every possible form of suffering that may come our way, or that may come in the lives of those we need to reach out to for the glory of God. --Walter C. Kaiser, Jr. President Emeritus Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

-Why does the order of Jesus' temptations in the wilderness differ when comparing the parallel accounts in Matthew and Luke? -If Christ was raised on the third day, "according to the Scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:4), where do you find that in the Old Testament? -Was there really no room for Joseph and Mary in the inn?-Which prophet was spared death because of Uriah's death? -Who was Ahithophel related to, and why does it matter? -Did Jonah's prophecy against Nineveh fail?-Was there more to Jesus' turning water into wine than simply a display of His divine power? This book tackles these questions and many others both exegetically and devotionally. Each brief exposition deals with a passage and/or details that have often been overlooked or taken for granted by those who read the Scriptures regularly. Their treatment in this book calls us to A Closer Look.

God's Mercy in Our Suffering: Lamentations for Pastors and Counselors

Road Maps for the Pauline Epistles is a valuable resource for both personal Bible study and teaching God’s Word; a true aid to all who wish to be grounded in sound, biblical exegesis. 
– Jim Milligan, Co-Founder and C.E.O., Blue Letter Bible\nThe outlines in this book are simply remarkable! They aid the reader in seeing both “near” and “far” — in seeing both the “big picture” of each of Paul’s letters, as well as their finer structural details. As a pastor “in the trenches” of daily ministry demands (some of which can be sudden, unexpected, and even overwhelming) and tasked with preparing to handle God’s Word publicly 3-4 times every week, this volume provides me with immediate and accurate access to Pauline thought. 
– Greg Lindsey, D.Min., Pastor of Mill Springs Baptist Church, Jefferson City, TN
