The Epic of God: A Guide to Genesis

The Christian life can have as many heartbreaks as hallelujahs. Circumstances confuse us. Sin frustrates us. The devil likes to inflict pain on God’s children. Wouldn’t it be great if we could go to heaven as soon as we become Christians and skip the confusion, frustration, and pain? Sadly, it doesn’t work like that; we have to learn to overcome this world while awaiting the Second Coming. In 1–2 Thessalonians, we are equipped to do just that. Living & Longing for the Lord will guide you through Paul’s letters to Thessalonica in hopes of helping you become more like Jesus until he returns.

Living & Longing for the Lord: A Guide to 1-2 Thessalonians

Earl D. Edwards

"An urgent message for the exiled church." 1st Place, 2014 Christian Writers Awards Every day, it seems the world becomes increasingly hostile to Christianity. Values are being scuttled, faith is scorned, and God's people are being marginalized. These difficult times pose two questions to Christians: How can we be the "light of the world" in such abject darkness? And how can God still be in control of all things? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed ... He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. —Psalm 2:2-4 This book will help you answer these questions. More than a guide to Daniel, The Derision of Heaven is an urgent message for the exiled church. As you journey through the story and visions of Daniel, you will be awe-struck by the sovereign rule of God, emboldened to live a life that glorifies him, and encouraged to serve in the eternal Kingdom of Heaven.

In the waning days of the Judges, Israel found herself in dire straits. 
A corrupt priesthood. An apathetic people. Foreign threats. Domestic strife. The offspring of Abraham teetered on the brink of destruction. 
But out of this fog of despair, Yahweh raised up three unlikely leaders: a formidable prophet named Samuel, a timid farmer named Saul, and a shepherd boy named David. Together, these three anointed ones transformed Israel from a dysfunctional tribal confederacy into a regional dynasty. 
THE ANOINTED explores the early days of Israel's monarchy as told in the Book of Samuel. It is a story of priest and prophets, shepherds and seers, tyrants and troubadours. But a common thread unites them all: each one bore the anointing of God's Spirit.

The Anointed: A Guide to 1–2 Samuel (Guides to God's Word Book 9)

Though written 2,000 years ago, Paul's letter to the Ephesians is as relevant today as it was when penned in Roman chains. To a world plagued by terror, race wars, and political gridlock, Ephesians presents the Gospel in its simplicity--the human experience is hopelessly broken, and only in Christ can we rediscover blessing, grace, and our proper place in the scheme of things. This letter also confronts us with the fact that the gifts of power, identity, and blessing come with great responsibility. The Insiders: A Guide to Ephesians will guide you through one of Paul's most important epistles, one that explores the mystery of God, our identity in Christ, and the call of Christian living. In the process, you will be brought to your knees in worship of the One who has loved you since before the foundation of the world.
