God Rescues Us is Book 2 in the Up Close and Personal Series and covers Psalms 42–72.
This group of psalms parallels the book of Exodus. Israel was in ruins, but God came to its rescue. God can rescue us from disastrous problems. Subjects of these psalms include rescue, confession, encouragement, slander, missions, and trusting God. We can all relate to any or all of these and how we stand in awe of God who delivers. Oh, worship our God who comforts us in all of our trials of life.

About the Author
Vicki Dixon has been a lifelong student herself and has also had a constant desire to share with others what she has learned through her own studies and experiences. Her early years of sharing involved teaching elementary school students. Later, she served as a high school principal where she enjoyed passing on the rewards of learning with students and teachers as well. Additionally, Vicki served as an Adjunct Professor in the College of Education at East Carolina University where she sought to instill in senior interns a love of sharing in the education of others. Vicki has shared her enjoyment of music with many—both in school and in her church as she serves in many capacities. Upon her retirement as an educator, she embarked on the role of leading Bible studies for women of her church. She seeks to encourage and inspire others to participate in areas of service where they, in turn, have opportunities to study God’s Word and share what He teaches.
Vicki Dixon lives in the Black Jack-Grimesland area of Pitt County, North Carolina, and is a member of Black Jack OFWB Church. She eagerly and actively supports her two daughters, her son-in-law, and two grandchildren.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
