Untangling the Sunday School Stories You Learned from the Biblical History You Haven’t– Biblical archaeologist unearths the riches of the historical and cultural contexts of the Bible
– Unveils God’s Word as one glorious, world-changing storyWhen we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories–Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks–with what we’ve seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there’s a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events.
In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God’s Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.

Exploring The Financial Parables Of Jesus
$25.99Storytelling is a powerful and effective means of communication, a truth Jesus knew and used to great advantage in his parables. Many of the plots in these parables involve financial matters. They teach about God’s perspective on money, resources, and their use, but further, they teach profound spiritual truths about the kingdom of God. This kingdom operates according to a different kind of economy, wherein relationships, love, and serving others take precedence over accumulating wealth and possessions.
Taken together, the parables examined in this book paint a picture of divine generosity and grace in both the financial and spiritual realms. This in turn challenges readers to reexamine their priorities and how money and possessions can be used for the kingdom.
The author brings his expertise in literature and biblical studies to bear in a fresh examination of the nature of parables and their interpretation in general and of a number of Jesus’s prominent parables with financial themes, all with an eye toward contemporary application. He does so without scholarly jargon, making this accessible book ideal for both undergraduate courses on the Gospels and for church leaders and groups.

Seeing The Spirit
$26.99The Word and the Spirit Bring Unmatched Blessing and Power
God wants us to live in the fullness of His Holy Spirit. Yet we can only truly come to understand who the Holy Spirit is and how He works by learning what God says about Him in His Word. We often put the cart before the horse, trying to experience the Spirit without really understanding Him. But when we do this, how do we really know who-or what-we are experiencing?
From Genesis to Revelation, the books of the Bible reveal multiple aspects of the Spirit’s nature, purpose, and works-including His gifts, fruit, grace, flow, power, and creativity, as well as His atmosphere of glory, peace, and love. In Seeing the Spirit: Revealing the Holy Spirit in Every Book of the Bible by dynamic speaker and author Dr. James Tan, you will discover how to experience the same types of influences and workings in your own relationship with the Holy Spirit-and you will see the Spirit’s impact in ways you may never have seen before:
Leviticus: See how to allow the presence and power of God to flow through you.
Jonah: See how the wind of the Spirit can blow you into the callings of God but also blow you out of the entrapments of the enemy.
Philemon: See how the Holy Spirit can work in remarkable ways to change lives through your obedience to His leading.
This book, a wonderful guide for both devotions and Bible study, depicts an ongoing story of lives deeply touched and transformed as God’s Spirit moves upon them and through them. Experience fresh power for loving and serving God and manifesting His works in the world.

Rightly Dividing The Word
$16.99Study to show yourself approved to God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. -2 Timothy 2:15 (kjver)
As a follow-up to his highly successful and much sought after work Dispensational Truth, Baptist minister Clarence Larkin wrote Rightly Dividing the Word to explain how the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith should be “rightly divided” in a series of contrasts, such as law and grace, faith and works, sin and salvation.
Larkin’s aim was not to express his opinion or the thoughts of other writers, but to present biblical concepts “based solely on the Scriptures,” with chapter and verse given for every statement.
The Bible, Larkin said, “is not a heterogeneous jumble of ancient history, myths, legends, religious speculations, and apocalyptic literature. There is a progress of revelation and
doctrine in it. You cannot understand Leviticus without Hebrews, or Daniel without Revelation. The judges knew more than the patriarchs, the prophets than the judges, and the apostles more than the prophets.”While the Bible is written for everyone, he maintained, it is addressed to three classes of people: Jews, gentiles, and the church.
Larkin’s goal in writing this fascinating book was “to confirm in the Christian faith those who are wavering and to instruct those who have not been clearly taught the great cardinal doctrines.”

Praying With Women Of The Bible For 30 Days
$21.99The Lord intentionally offers us stories of women in Scripture in the middle of circumstances and seasons that are not bound by culture or history. The experiences of women in the Bible can be learned from in real time today. Some prayers of women are recorded in Scripture and other prayers are gleaned from circumstantial and situational shared human experiences.

We learn not just from one another, but with one another. Praying with Women of the Bible is our opportunity to pray the prayers our sisters prayed before us, pray alongside them in life shared circumstances, and pray for one another as we sojourn together.
In this study you will learn about women in Scripture, their names, their cultural and historical setting, their situation and how they prayed. With each lesson and each woman you will learn how we are so powerfully connected by longings and desires of the heart and be strengthened in boldness to bring your requests to the Lord. Praying with Women of the Bible is not just repeating prayers, it is an exercise in learning the heart posture of prayer and in turn, receiving the power that comes from praying with women of history and today.
