You Shall Not Kill Or You Shall Not Murder
$10.95
Nearly all English translations of the Bible during the last third of the twentieth century have changed the wording of the sixth commandment from “kill” to “murder.” The Hebrew word that appears in the commandment has a broader semantic range than “murder.” Wilma Ann Bailey discusses why the Protestant and Jewish traditions changed the wording and why the Roman Catholic tradition did not. She also examines the impact that the wording will have in the future for people who believe that there is no general prohibition against killing in the Hebrew Bible and why questions of killing that are broader than murder-death penalty and just war-are no longer part of the discussion of this commandment.
Chapters are “You Shall Not Kill,” “The Sixth Commandment in Evangelical Protestantism,” “The Sixth Commandment in Mainline Traditions,” “The Sixth Commandment in Judaism,” “The Fifth Commandment in Roman Catholicism,” “When ‘You Shall Not Kill’ Became ‘You Shall Not Murder.'”

Prayer
$18.00Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author of The Songs of Jesus Timothy Keller explores the power of prayer.
Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But few receive instruction or guidance in how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act.
With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader.
Dr. Keller’s previous books have sold more than one million copies. His Redeemer Presbyterian Church is not only a major presence in his home base of New York, it has also helped to launch more than two hundred fifty other churches in forty-eight cities around the world. His teachings have already helped millions, the majority of whom pray regularly. And with Prayer, he’ll show them how to find a deeper connection with God.
