In Egypt to Canaan, John Ritchie traces the epic journey of the Israelites from their redemption by blood all the way to the promised land.

God’s norm is abundant living. That was his intention for man. When Adam and Eve sinned, they gave power to the thief who only comes to steal, kill, and destroy.

Jesus came to restore our abundant life! He exchanged our damaged inherited state for his abundant one.

January 1 Jeremiah 6:17 I set a watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. KJV When I created you, I created you in order, not chaos. When you are feeling or sensing that chaotic stress in the mind or spirit, stop and take a moment to withdraw with Me. I will still your soul.

All things are possible to him that believes, only because I am able.

Though suffering often leaves us feeling isolated, God invites us into the community of the Trinity and offers us many companions in scripture. We experience loneliness alongside the exiled Israelites. We journey with David as he pleads to God for rescue. With Asaph we confess our unbelief. With Job we learn to lament. With Mary and Martha we learn to wait. In God's community, there is sweet fellowship, even in the hardest of circumstances. Journey in this book with Wendy Alsup through her story of suffering, and more importantly, with the God who walks with us in the wilderness.

Christians, rightly called “people of the cross,” look to Jesus’s death and resurrection as the central points of his earthly mission.

"The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law." (Galatians 5. 22-23) This second edition of the popular book by Colin Attridge looks at these verses from Galatians and discusses the impact they should have on the Christian life, and the thoughts and intents of the Christian heart.

For generations, churches and families have used Advent wreaths to help prepare for celebrating the Lord's birth at Christmas. The evergreen wreath symbolizes eternal life and includes four candles—typically three purple and one pink, with a white candle in the middle that symbolizes the purity of Christ.

When I tell you the Bible is your biography, I am actually saying that you are God, and I mean it. We are told in the 82nd psalm: "I say, 'You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like any prince.'" So I mean exactly what the psalmist said: that you are gods. But man has such a strange concept of the word "God".

The Bible tells a singular and unified story. While it contains sixty-six individual books written over thousands of years, it reveals one unified message—the story of how God redeems humanity from sin and death and makes all things new.

This radical interpretation of the Bible, by a modern mystic, teaches us how to manifest our desires. Neville says: "Instead of looking upon the Bible as the historical record of an ancient civilization, or the biography of the unusual life of Jesus, see it as the great psychological drama taking place in the consciousness of man."

Does God have a sex plan? By that is meant, did God design the human race to function best by following a specific plan for how human beings are to interact sexually and to reproduce? What happens when this plan is followed, and when it is not followed? Are different varieties of sexual behaviors just as legitimate as Gods original sex plan? This two-volume set explores these controversial questions.
