In today's world, it can be difficult to maintain your faith. Those seeking a greater understanding of the Bible have numerous excellent theological commentaries available to them, but due to volume and depth, many of these are out of reach of laypeople. Others lose contact with the Bible, because it no longer seems relevant to life. They use a superficial knowledge of science and evolution to exclude God and faith from their experiences.

"The Layman's Commentary: Volume 2-Books of the History" presents a passage by-passage explanation of the twelve books of the Bible, known as History. In this second volume, author John Devine covers biblical passages from the Entry into Canaan to the end of the Monarchy and the Return of the Remnant. He explains God's continued self-revelation and plan for a relationship with humankind in his dealings with the nation of Israel. He considers the conflict and consequences of the desire of the individual to be independent from God. Further understanding of God's moral standard, which has been the backbone of Western society, is given. Devine also lays out the basis for a full and rewarding relationship with God.

The second book in "The Layman's Commentary series, Volume 2-Books of History" provides many proven principles for life and leadership. Devine presents examples from life based on characters and situations. They confirm science and faith are complementary in giving purpose and meaning to life.

Do you wonder about the "end times"-- when it will come? what it will be like? what will happen to you? As R. Paul Stevens leads you to examine for yourself what the Bible says about end times, you'll learn what you can do now to be ready for the future--whatever it holds. This revised LifeGuide Bible Study features additional questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection, together with expanded leader's notes and a "Now or Later" section in each study.

The brief chapters in this booklet provide insights into the life of one of Christ's most beloved disciples, Simon Peter. Adapted from sermons first published in a local newspaper and preached in a pastoral setting, these four chapters follow a devotional-expositional approach similar to that used in the author's books Patterns to Ponder from Bible Characters and Mighty Man of Valour: A 31-Day Devotional from the Life of Gideon. As such, this booklet provides a sampler of the author's non-academic writings.
