Promises Kept : The Whole Story Of The Bible (Student/Study Guide)
$9.99

One Saturday, less than a decade after the end of Jesus of Nazareth s life, a man named Paul stood up in a Jewish synagogue with a mind-blowing message.

We tell you the good news, he said. What God promised our fathers, he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus (Acts 13 v 33-34). In many ways, in these two sentences Paul was summing up the story of the whole of the Bible.

God is a promise-making God. Throughout history, He has made huge, extravagant, wonderful promises to humanity. Crucially, God is also a promise-keeping God. What He says, He does. And at a particular point in history, He fulfilled all of His promises in the life, death, resurrection and rule of one human Jesus, a carpenter from a small Jewish town. The good news is that God’s promises are promises kept.

This Good Book Guide will take you on a rapid tour of the whole story of the Bible. Over nine sessions, you ll travel from the beginning of the past, through our present, to the future. Each session you’ll discover one of God’s wonderful promises, and see how He kept it in Jesus.

It s a whirlwind tour. It s a breathtaking tour. And it s a tour we re part of…

Ruth : Poverty And Plenty (Student/Study Guide)
$9.99

This woman from ancient times was no powerful princess – just a young, vulnerable widow, an impoverished outcast. The story records no famous events or places – just a struggling family facing hard times in a small, agricultural community occupied with their livelihoods and customs.

But the hidden hand of God is at work in the lives of these ordinary people, and wonderfully at work in history. God transforms hardship from bitterness to joy; God’s word liberates people to become a community filled with loving kindness towards outsiders; God’s people reach out to their enemies. And most significantly, God’s great plan, to send a promised savioursavior King to redeem people of all nations, is being worked out.

Like those in the story, we may be just ordinary people, unable to see how the events of our lives will turn out. But by encountering the God who works through the circumstances of life, we too can discover the God who can turn our ‘poverty’ to ‘plenty’ through Jesus Christ.

Lords Prayer : Jesus Teaches Us How To Pray
$16.00

Those who pray the Lord’s Prayer from their heart in the spirit of the prayer will find a deeper relationship with God, promises Mary Lou Redding in this 6-week study of Jesus’ model prayer. And those who wonder how to pray can take comfort from the fact that even Jesus’ disciples were puzzled about prayer. The Lord’s Prayer was Jesus’ response to a disciple who asked him, “Lord, teach us to pray.”

So what sets Mary Lou Redding’s book apart from the many books that have been written on the Lord’s Prayer? First, it examines each phrase of the Lord’s Prayer and explores how we can use this ancient prayer as a model for deepening our prayer today. Second, in this practical study, Redding shares candidly from her own prayer life. Her warm, encouraging tone helps readers feel “I can do this.”

Money and work: just the words themselves can cause anxiety. Mortgages, saving for retirement and bottom lines can easily overwhelm us to the point of despair. But God, who “gives us richly all things to enjoy,” wants his people to live in freedom, trusting him and learning to manage our gifts wisely and generously. By pointing to his trustworthiness and generosity, these studies can help you rest in the peace he offers.

Sometimes, churches need a little help. These days, some don t know who they are and don t know what they are supposed to be doing. Churches today are trying anything and everything to be effective, but are bewildered by worship styles, spectator syndrome, and consumerism.

In the meantime, people are hungry for a relationship with a God who has substance, a God with character and integrity, and a God of grace. And they re having trouble finding such a God in churches today.

Seven Letters to Seven Churches is written to challenge the church to be what God created us to be and then do what God created us to do: join Him in His mission to save the world.

Gleanings From Genesis
$24.98

This book is the first in a series of books dealing with many very familiar Old Testament Stories and looking beyond the stories and finding the messages that God has for us today. The Bible is a timeless book. And it has had a relevant message for every generation since God’s Holy Spirit breathed those words into to ears and minds of the writers of old. “Gleanings from Genesis” deals with the first nineteen stories in this series and I hope that each of them will bring you into a deeper understanding of just how relevant these stories are in your life today. “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT) Rev. Anthony Iannucci has been an Ordained Minister for over thirty six years. During this time he as ministered as an International Evangelist and Gospel Singer, Bible Teacher, Pastor and Missionary Evangelist. In 2009 Rev. Iannucci published his first book “Surviving the Desert” (Overcoming Life’s Extremes). He is an Alumnus of Zion Bible Institute (College), Haverhill, Massachusetts and the Berean School of the Bible.

Understanding The Bible
$52.48

Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart provides readers a forum for more fully comprehending the Bible. Each book of the Bible tells a story that relates to the larger story, and to understand each book’s story it is important to understand the larger story, and vice versa. To do so, however, entails a careful reading of the entire Bible, grasping both the fact of the story and the spirit of the story. Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart provides prose summaries for helping the reader to understand and remember the fact of the story, and poetic summaries for helping the reader to experience the story and thereby to more readily ingest its spirit. Since Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart would be a bit lengthy under one cover, it is divided into two parts: Part One addresses The Old Testament, and Part Two addresses The New Testament. This publication is Part One. Part Two is forthcoming. Bob Dowell, English professor, retired from the University of Texas-Pan American in 1999 in order to devote full time to a project conceived while teaching his favorite course: “The Bible as Literature.” He envisioned developing a forum in which readers could readily engage in a head and heart understanding of the Bible. For a decade he worked on the project all the while piloting his production through a church sponsored bible study: “Back to the Bible with Dr. Bob.” The success of that study spoke convincingly to the efficacy of publishing the materials for purposes of reaching a wider audience. Thus, Dr. Bob’s vision becomes a reality in the publication of Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart. Fittingly, his first publication as a professor is an article in College English (1965) entitled “The Moment of Grace in the Fiction of Flannery O’Connor.”

Back From Captivity
$10.99

This is a six-week small group study centered on restoration of a relationship with the heavenly Father. It concentrates on two different biblical accounts relating to returning home. The first account is from the Old Testament and shares the details of the Israelites returning to Jerusalem after 70 years of captivity in Babylon. The second account is from the New Testament and shares the familiar parable of the lost son. The author focuses on three parts of the restoration: the present and the desire for restoration, the past and avoiding things that led to the break down of a relationship with the Father, and finally the future and spiritual growth that equips them to face daily life.

Additional Info
Ancient-Future Bible Study incorporates contemporary study of the Bible with an experience of the church’s most ancient way of reading Scripture, lectio divina. This time-honored practice consists of five basic movements: biblical study (lectio), reflection (meditatio), prayer (oratio), discernment (contemplatio), and contemplative action (operatio). In six clearly written volumes, bestselling author Stephen Binz helps readers study the Bible in a way that leads to spiritual transformation and brings them closer to God.

Binz leads readers in a vivid study of key biblical characters, including Abraham, Paul, Peter, David, the women of the Torah, and the women of the Gospels. He shows all Christians who desire to have a transforming experience with the inspired Word of God how studying Scripture through lectio divina can enrich their discipleship. This ecumenical Bible study, designed for use by individuals or groups, includes questions for personal reflection and suggested action. Each volume includes leader’s notes for guiding a study over the course of six sessions.

John (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99

A fresh new look at the Bible, from beginning to end, and what it means in your life
We’ve asked some of the leading Bible scholars and teachers to help us with a new kind of Bible study. Immersion remains true to Scripture but always asks, “Where are you in your life? What do you stuggle with? What makes you rejoice?” and then helps you read the text to discover the Scriptures’ deep, abiding truths. Immersion is about God and God’s word, and it is also about you-not just your thoughts but your feelings and your faith.

In each study you will preview the focus of the Bible reading, prayerfully read and reflect upon it, then identify ways you can put into practice what you have learned from the reading. This process of engagement with the biblical foundations of Christian faith is intended to help people deepen their faith and grow in love of God and neighbor.

Immersion makes use of, but is not limited to, an exciting new translation of Scripture, the Common English Bible (CEB). Immersion, like the CEB, will offer adults:

the emotional expectation to find the love of God
the rational expectation to find the knowledge of God
reliable, genuine, and credible power to transform lives
clarity of language

Whether you are using the Common English Bible, the New Revised Standard Version, the New International Version, the King James Version, or another translation, Immersion Bible Studies will offer a refreshing plunge into God’s word, your own life, and your life with God.

Who does not want a heaven on earth or for love to come first in a cruel and broken world? This is the core meaning of Jesus’ most important words in the Gospel of Matthew, describing for us the importance of love, so that “the kingdom of heaven has come near” (Matthew 4:17). That means we do not have to wait to experience heaven after we die.

This 6-session Bible study delves deeper into what it means for heaven to come to earth: studying Jesus’ words, his way of life, and the manner in which he loved. Discover how we are the change agents Jesus is calling forth to make the Kingdom of heaven a reality on earth!

Living In His Sufficiency
$12.48

When something goes wrong, where do you turn for help? For many, the answer is a spouse or a friend, or even a group or an organization. Yet God longs to meet your needs. In fact, the Bible says He is utterly sufficient to satisfy every human need you’ll ever experience. In Living in His Sufficiency, Dr. Charles Stanley teaches that the key to embracing God’s abundance is a deep relationship with Jesus Christ. Through Him, you have access to help in every area of your life–not just spiritually, but morally, mentally, physically, and emotionally. This direct, insightful study challenges you to depend wholly upon the eternal God, rather than earthly relationships or things, to experience His sufficiency in all circumstances. This guide will help you to: Develop a deeper understanding of all that Christ has provided Learn how to experience the full sufficiency of Christ Jesus on a practical and personal level Discover how to be invulnerable to arguments that can lead you astray

Romans : Our Righteous God Revealed
$22.48

In Romans, Paul lays it all out for us as Christians. This great treatise by the Apostle Paul takes us on a journey through the amazing doctrines of true Christian faith: righteousness, sin, redemption, adoption, grace, Israel, the Law, the wicked…and so many more.

Pastor and teacher, John Meyer, walks us through this thrilling book in a practical, workable study format. This will inspire the individual who is seeking to grow in their knowledge of the deep, yet basic truths of Christianity. Meyer also works in plenty of discussion and teaching so that this study will fit well into a small group study or Sunday School/Bible Study group setting. The pace can be set by the person or the group leader/facilitator.

There are ample discussion topics and talk-points scattered throughout this study to allow for an individual to deepen their relationship with Christ. Groups will enjoy the stopping and “parking” moments to share thoughts and opinions.

At this point, there are six other LFL books in the series that will be available soon to keep the challenge before believers to “rightly divide the Word of truth”. Today, we Christians who comprise the body of Christ need “Lessons For Life”.

John Introducing Jesus (Student/Study Guide)
$9.99

Its only when you sit down and talk with someone that you start to discover what they are really like.

What would it be like to have an intimate conversation with Jesus? What would you ask Him? What might He say to you?

In his Gospel, John records for us a series of conversations that Jesus had with different people. They include a confused minister and a desperate woman; a lifelong loser and an anxious politician.

From each conversation there emerges something new about Jesus who He is, what He came to do and what His priorities and concerns are. And each time we also hear Jesus speaking directly to us. He addresses our
doubts and our desires, our fears and our failings, our sorrows and setbacks, and challenges us to think differently about God, life and eternity.

Use these studies to deepen your understanding of Jesus Christ, or perhaps even to be introduced to Him for the first time.
