Shepherd And His Sheep
$15.61
The inspired writings of the Apostle John are revealing of spiritual truth, devotional in character, warm in love, and challenging to any who would know the life eternal offered by God in Christ. Some have called John the mystery writer, not because he is hard to understand, but rather, because he is easily understood while deeply profound in relating spiritual verities. He puts truth on the surface, with always much more in the mine for the digger. The Bible is full of metaphors to help us in understanding its truths. These are examples taken from common experiences in our physical lives, and given to illustrate spiritual realities. Often we can perceive and relate to unseen things by such metaphors. The shepherd/sheep relationship illustrates the Christian’s affinity to the Good Shepherd. John 10 is a gripping chapter for anyone who is serious about living the Christian life.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$26.99The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
