In this multi-award-winning history of the Bible in Australia, Meredith Lake gets under the skin of a text that's been wrestled with, preached and tattooed and believed to be everything from a resented imposition to the very Word of God. A must-listen for non-believers and believers alike, The Bible in Australia explores how in the hands of Bible-bashers, immigrants, suffragists, evangelists, unionists, writers, artists and Indigenous Australians, the Bible has played a defining and contested role in this country.

Jonah is often called the most missional book in the Old Testament. In it, God calls Jonah, the prophet, to go to Nineveh, the capital city of Assyria, and preach a message of judgment. However, he initially rebels as the Assyrians were Israel’s enemies and greatest threat. Jonah’s reluctance to share God’s message was a reflection of Israel as a nation. They were called by God to be his chosen people. They were to be stewards of God’s temple and his Word, and one day his Son, the messiah, would come from them to die for the sins of the world. The Israelites were blessed so they ...

Over 300 of Neville Goddard's exceptional lectures are now available for the student of metaphysics and Bible study.

Most Christians have never been challenged to grow up because the institutional church is a religion and not the family of God. Most of what is taught about the Bible is taught out of context and the false prophets are multiplying. When will we stop playing church and become the body of Christ that the Father ordained us to be? Who are you and why are you here? This book will challenge you to give up your religion for a true relationship with the God and Father of our Lord Jesus.

Our Spiritual Compass: The Conscience and Morality provides an overview of man’s immaterial parts (spirit, soul, heart, flesh, will, mind, and conscience). It uses this background to provide an in-depth Biblical study of the conscience.

Clear, accessible, and well researched, this is the book you need.

Vista, udito, tatto, gusto, olfatto. La fisicità della divinità deve essere presa alla lettera. Erri De Luca e Gennaro Matino vanno dritti alla sostanza della lingua sacra. Perché le scritture per parlarci devono adottare vie di comunicazione a noi familiari. Gli apostoli vedono Dio, lo toccano, sentono la sua voce, ne percepiscono il profumo, condividono il pane nell'ultima cena.

The miracles of Jesus were valid. He was neither a trickster nor a slight-of-hand artist. Jesus meant exactly what he said and said exactly what he meant. He deliberately followed his teaching by providing physical evidence that he had access to a spiritual power which he used as consciously as you and I use any other laws of nature.

The wisdom of Solomon was part of the Greek Bible most often quoted by Jesus Christ and the Apostles. To what degree did Jesus and the Apostles regard the content of this book, and incorporate it in their teachings? The evidence is in the text itself. Conceptual themes are considered with respect to frequent allusions made throughout the New Testament.

In 1984 my little family, consisting of myself and my wife, who was pregnant with our firstborn son, moved to Astoria Oregon. I had heard of two families in the city who were praying for someone to come plant a New Testament Baptist Church. The evening we arrived in town, I met two others. While all four families would have said they were independent, fundamental Baptists, they were as different as night and day. One of those families in particular held to doctrinal positions that were strange to me and the rest of us. They derived those doctrines, to a large extent, from some typology out ...

We are all prone to debilitating physical and spiritual weakness. But knowing how to find spiritual strength in those seasons of weakness - especially in the face of persecution - is elusive for most. Timothy, the apostle Paul's son in the faith, struggled with this very thing. But God revealed to him some very practical ways to tap into the resources he already possessed, bringing him much needed comfort and encouragement, while at the same time giving him power to persevere and prevail in the face of overwhelming forces of opposition.

The Gospel According to Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels, and some believe it may have been written as a sort of “tract” meant to be read by a fast moving and “on the go” type of people.[1] It was, of course, written by Mark, or sometimes called John Mark in the Bible. Mark’s readership is a Roman person. His life is busy and fast paced He is always on the move and traveling He doesn’t have a lot of time for incidentals So Mark cuts right to the chase. Again a quote, “The abruptness with which he announces his subject, and the energetic brevity with which, passing by ...

With subversive twists and turns, mesmeric highs, and gut-wrenching lows, Pete Atkinson's "ambitious and captivating" debut work skillfully weaves the threads which run from Genesis to Revelation, marrying brevity and listenability with scale, depth, and detail.

The book, Fifty Bible Devotionals, is a book described by its title. The author has been active for over 40 years in teaching and preaching from God's word. It has become his close companion over those years, as he daily takes the time around 5:00 AM to read and study its pages.

Over the years, I have observed the different trends that occur among people who are non-believers in God and also among those who are believers but who for some reason, have become angry with the God they have previously embraced. It has to do with tragedies they witness or experience in life. You can hear them making comments to the effect of: "How could God allow such tragedies and atrocities to occur in this world, when the Bible says he is a loving God?"
