In this audiobook version of Why Should I Be the First to Change?, Chuck and Nancy Missler share the fundamental personal issues that led to the crises in their marriage and recounts the healing of a troubled Christian marriage from the viewpoint of both husband and wife. What makes the Misslers' story so unique is that at the time of their marital crises, they were Christians - not nominal Christians or backsliding Christians but ones who loved Jesus, prayed daily, and were even teaching Bible studies!

Nancy shares the intimate details of her 20-year, stormy marriage and how God turned it around. The secret was learning what His Agape Love is, and how it differs from human love.

The Book of Ruth is venerated in college literature classes as one of the most elegant love stories of all time. What most people don't realize is that it is one of the most significant New Testament books located in the Old Testament, and it stands as a pivotal study in Bible prophecy! It is an essential prerequisite to understanding the Book of Revelation! Chuck explores the many surprises hidden in the text of this charming treasure in The Romance of Redemption. Every detail of the text will evidence a skillful design beyond the skills of any human editor.

We consider some of the most life-changing principles we have encountered since our new birth as Christians. Scripture tells us that we are to "prepare ourselves" for Christ’s soon return. What exactly does this mean? What if we aren’t prepared? What is justification, sanctification, and glorification? Being ready, fit, and prepared will dramatically affect our role, our position, and our place of responsibility in the future millennial kingdom. Chuck and Nancy share not only the Scriptural importance of why we need to be "prepared" but also what we need to do to be prepared.

See God's hand at work in the life of one of his prophets. Bringing repentance to one of the largest cities of the ancient world, discover lessons from Jonah's life that we can apply to ourselves. What does Jesus mean when he speaks of "the sign of the prophet Jonah" in Matthew 12? Study this "whale of a tale", validated by Jesus, with special significance for the New Testament believer.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16. Because of its emphasis on "the Love of God" and Jesus' being the incarnation of that Love, many believe this gospel is the most important for new and old Christians alike to take to heart. Written by the "disciple whom Jesus loved", the book of John is organized around seven miracles, seven discourses and seven "I AM" statements. This study is so deep "an elephant can bathe in it, and yet an infant can wade in it."

What does his holiness demand of us, personally? What are the hazards of failing to render the Almighty his due, while availing ourselves the riches committed to us of the precious promises in his word? How do we deal with these paramount issues facing us daily in practical challenges? Chuck Missler grapples with these wildly misunderstood tensions with down-to-earth frankness and biblically-based candor.

Romans is the definitive statement of Christian doctrine - the most comprehensive book in the New Testament. Its impact on history is unequaled. This is the first in a trilogy (Galatians, Hebrews) on Habakkuk 2:4 - "the just shall live by faith" - which later became the mantra of the reformation. It has an international outlook: As a Roman citizen, and with both Hebrew and Greek culture of history, religion, philosophy, poetry, science, music, etc., Paul's Epistle to the Romans is the most profound writing that exists anywhere.

Chuck Missler, an internationally recognized biblical authority, reviews the origin of both the Old and New Testaments in light of recent discoveries and controversies.

Our lord repeatedly instructed us: "Be not deceived". That is an imperative: A command, not simply a suggestion. But how? What are the tools to prevent our being deceived or misled? The context of a passage is always a primary consideration in the search for understanding of a passage of scripture. It is often cited, "A verse out of context is a pretext". And, indeed, one must always maintain an awareness of both who is doing the speaking and the audience being addressed. However, this foundational emphasis can also be a restrictive blindfold to some of a passage's deeper implications.

Revelation is a lens that puts the entire Bible into focus. The lens is focused on the person of Jesus Christ, and his destiny is imminent. This is a book of victory: We are overcomers! We are the ultimate winners in the game of life! (I read the ending: We win!) One of the reasons this book strikes us as strange is because of our lack of understanding concerning the Old Testament. The Book of Revelation consists of 404 verses that contain over 800 allusions to the Old Testament. These are detailed, along with Chuck's analysis of the design and structure of this fascinating book.

Jesus said that the psalms spoke about him (Lk 24:44). Christ's birth, betrayal, agony, death, resurrection, ascension, coming again in glory, and his worldwide reign - all are pictured in inspired vividness. They constitute irrefutable testimony to the divine inspiration of the Scripture.

Was the universe really created in six days? How do we explain galaxies whose light has traveled toward us for over 100 million years? Is the absolute vacuum of space really empty? Doesn't the Bible indicate that it can be torn, bent, shaken, stretched, split apart, and rolled up like a scroll? Is the velocity of light really a constant? What might an entropy profile of the seven days of the creation week look like?

When did Satan fall? We know that the angels were created prior to the Earth. We find Satan had already fallen in Genesis 3. The mystery is, when did he fall? It appears that there are substantial Scriptural references to his rebellion, his agenda, and the subsequent catastrophic judgment that ensued. This raises the whole issue of the origin of evil. And why hasn't God simply wiped him "and sin" out completely?

For many, the Gospel according to "the Beloved Physician" is the most readable and complete account of the life of Christ. Known for its historical detail and precision, Luke was chosen by the Holy Spirit to communicate the Gospel to an educated and technological culture. The evidences of the truly "human" nature of Jesus Christ are littered throughout this treatise.
