My Dearest Catholic, Do you sometimes fear that your eternal soul, which is extremely precious to Jesus, is not truly saved? Do you yearn to know what your heavenly Father has to say about everlasting life? By way of biblical scriptures, Karen Jo Hudson has candidly, and clearly quoted from God's Holy Word, the one and only true path for the salvation of your everlasting soul. In a practical and openhearted manner, she is able to contrast the vast difference between the Catholic doctrine, as it is compared with God's biblical truth, concerning the most important decision that you will ever be required to make. Read on, Dear Reader, and you also can learn the truth. As our Most Beloved Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ said, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8: 32)

Bunny Debarge, Sharon Ewell Foster, Claudia Mair Burney, and other women share their stories of abuse, betrayal, rape, abortion, and abandonment, giving readers permission to be honest about their own pain. The miracle of telling the truth allows the curtain of humiliation to be pulled back and expose secrets, breaking the power shame has over women. As readers come to understand the restoration and healing that happened when the contributors came to God and the truth, they will find their own courage and hope in the God of second chances. "Sistah" --a word often used to describe women of color--is used in this book to move beyond the boundaries of race, class, and faith to bring women of all colors together. .

With true stories from more than twenty women, "SistahFaith" also includes original poems, fill-in-the-blank Bible study, reflection questions, prayers of proclamation, and scripture. In these pages, women will discover new friends--women who aren't afraid to be seen at their worst and who believe that true sistahs will still see the best in them. .

This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.

Verse by Verse Commentary with three translations of Bible add up to a wonderful resource for every student, Bible Teacher or Preacher. The Pastoral Epistles of Paul come live in the this Bible Companion allowing you to understand the Bible in a way that may have never happened before.

Paul must often have felt like a mother duck guiding her ducklings to safety. He had seen the enthusiasm of the Colossian Christians but knew they had no idea of the dangers they would face. Longing for them to continue growing in faith, Paul--now stuck in prison--wrote to his young flock, affirming them, warning them of hazards and pointing them to King Jesus, the supreme one who was with them and at work in them. These eight studies on Colossians and Philemon will similarly guide us toward maturity in King Jesus, who is still at work in his people today. This guide by Tom Wright can be used on its own or alongside his New Testament for Everyone commentary on Colossians and Philemon. It is designed to help you understand Scripture in fresh ways under the guidance of one of the world's leading New Testament scholars. Thoughtful questions, prayer suggestions, and useful background and cultural information all guide you or a group more deeply into God's Word. Discover how you can participate more fully in God's kingdom.

A wanton and adulterous woman repeatedly spurns the love of her youth. Her betrayed and grieving husband offers forgiveness and seeks to restore the intimacy of their first love. Bold imagery indeed for telling the story of God and his people. Bolder still when God calls a prophet to enflesh this divine suffering and redeeming forgiveness in his own marriage. Yet this remarkable story sets the stage for Hosea's message of God's enduring love, his righteous judgement and his persistent offer of reconciliation. This commentary explores the historical, cultural, literary and theological dimensions of the book of Hosea. Distilled from a career of biblical scholarship, theological reflection and masterful teaching, David Hubbard has been studying, teaching and thinking about Hosea for a long time. He frankly admits he can't imagine himself "as a human being, let alone as a believing person, without the deposit of Hosea's political, moral and spiritual insights." Find out why. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.

"The epistle of 2 Peter has had a very rough passage down the centuries," says Michael Green in this commentary. "Its entry into the Canon was precarious in the extreme . . . It was deemed second-class Scripture by Luther, rejected Erasmus, and regarded with hesitancy by Calvin." And about Jude he says, "WE can learn a great deal about a man by listening to what he has to say about himself. Jude makes two significant claims . . . He is a servant of Jesus Christ . . . He is a brother of James" (Jesus' brother). Explore these ideas and much more by reading Green's excellent commentary.

"John evidently loves the people committed to his care," says John Stott in the preface to this commentary on 1, 2 and 3 John. "They are his 'dear children, ' his 'dear friends.' He longs to protect them from both error and evil and to see them firmly established in faith, love and holiness. He has no new doctrine for them. On the contrary, he appeals to them to remember what they already know, have and are. He warns them against deviating from this and urges them to remain loyal to it. Whenever innovators trouble the church, and ridicule whatever is old or traditional, we need to hear and heed John's exhortation, to continue in what we have learned and received, and to let it continue in us."

Spirit and Life: Interpreting the Bible in Ordinary Time is the newest book by well-known and respected scholar and author Scott Hahn. Published by Emmaus Road, these nine essays provide fresh insights into important biblical themes. Topics in this volume include:

Scripture as God's symphony

Pope Benedict's Scripture-based teaching on the person and prayer of Jesus

The connection of Scripture, liturgy, and the Church

The "liturgical sense" of God's Word

The theme of fulfillment in Matthew's Gospel

Church authority within a scriptural context

A biblical approach to the "Pentecostal" phenomena

A paradox? Christ as Majestic Judge vs. Christ as the Lamb

Hahn shows that Scripture is not a dead letter but rather a great, living gift from God. Indeed, it is "spirit and life" to those who will unwrap and embrace it. Spirit and Life: Interpreting the Bible in Ordinary Time provides the reader with a greater appreciation of the Living Word.

The Book of Exodus: Question by Question leads individual readers or study groups through modern exegetical commentary on Exodus, relying almost entirely on the Socratic method of questions and answers. This resource is divided into different sections based on individual stories or sayings by the various authors and editors of Exodus.

For each section, an introduction provides the basic information needed to read the biblical story in line with modern scholarship. Next, essential study questions are provided to help the reader wrestle with specific verses and theological contexts.

The answers at the back of the book should be consulted by readers after they have invested time in reflection and in writing down their own responses. Concluding remarks, at times extensive, are provided at the end of each section to orient readers preparing to move on to the next chapter of Exodus.

Volume 12 of 12 - Understanding (continued) to Zuzim. A complete work of reference to the theological writings of Emanuel Swedenborg based on the original Latin writings of the author, the purpose of which is to make Swedenborg's theological writings more accessible in all their fullness to every student of them, whether learned or unlearned. The Concordance is the result of thirteen to fourteen years of labor and claims to be exhaustive and complete. This volume contains the Appendix for the 12 volume set, Latin-English vocabulary, a table of repeated passages, and Errata Et Corrigenda.

Editor Francis Martin collects patristic comment on the text of Acts in this volume of the ACCS. The Acts of the Apostles--or more in keeping with the author's intent, the Acts of the Ascended Lord--is part two of Luke's story of "all that Jesus began to do and teach." In it he recounts the expansion of the church as its witness spread from Jerusalem to all of Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. While at least forty early church authors commented on Acts, the works of only three survive in their entirety--John Chrysostom's Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles, Bede the Venerable's Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles and a long Latin epic poem by Arator. In this volume, substantial selections from the first two of these appear with occasional excerpts from Arator alongside many excerpts from the fragments preserved in J. A. Cramer's Catena in Acta SS. Apostolorum. Among the latter we find selections from Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, Ephrem the Syrian, Didymus the Blind, Athanasius, Jerome, John Cassian, Augustine, Ambrose, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Theodoret of Cyr, Origen, Cyril of Jerusalem, Cyril of Alexandria, Cassiodorus and Hilary of Poitiers, some of which are here translated into English for the first time. As readers, we find these early authors transmit life to us because their faith brought them into living and experiential contact with the realities spoken of in the Sacred Text.
