What would you do to inherit a million dollars? Would you be
willing to change your life? Jason Stevens is about to find out.
Red Stevens has died, and the older members of his family receive
their millions with greedy anticipation. But a different fate
awaits young Jason, whom his great-uncle Stevens believed might be
the last vestige of hope in the family. "Although to date your life
seems to be a sorry excuse for anything I would call promising,
there does seem to be a spark of something in you that I hope we
can fan into a flame. For that reason, I am not making you an
instant millionaire." What Stevens does give Jason leads to The
Ultimate Gift. Young and old will take this timeless tale to heart.
The writers of the Bible speak to us with their words, and the Bible's characters speak to us with their lives. Their powerful examples reveal the spiritual inspiration and brilliant insight the human writers and the divine Writer intended. Times, cultures, traditions, and societal values may change from century to century, but human nature does not.
We value people whose words and actions reflect their true thoughts and intentions. People of integrity purposely integrate their own thoughts, words, and behaviors. They work at making their own hearts and minds, thoughts and ideas consistent with the godly character portrayed in Scripture.
These twenty-five Bible personalities in Choose Your Character cultivate a desire to deepen the commitment to live a life of unfailing integrity. Their examples teach us how to increase our personal satisfaction and effectiveness while strengthening our ability to influence others.
Paid in Full, a riveting account of Jesus' final hours, takes you
on a journey that does just that. It powerfully explains the
significance--for every person ever born--of each step Jesus
willingly took along the way of His suffering, His death, and His
resurrection. Noted Bible teacher Rick Renner draws a brilliant
backdrop to the passion of Jesus Christ, interjecting fresh
insights into the human and divine drama that took place in
Jerusalem more than 2,000 years ago.
