"When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the
truth." - John 16:13 "He who saw this has testified so that you
also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows he is telling
the truth." - John 19:35 With time and experience comes wisdom.
John, the longest-surviving of the apostles, recorded in his Gospel
a portrait of Jesus that displays the depth of years of reflection
on who Jesus is and what he means to the world. Writing in light of
the philosophies of his day, John describes Jesus as the incarnate
Word, the divine Logos, the embodiment of all truth and wisdom. In
this last volume of the Biblical Imagination Series, Michael Card
completes his work on the four Gospels. He shows how John stands
alongside the other Gospel writers to fill out the picture of
Jesus' divine identity, with stories and sayings of Jesus not
recorded by the others. This Jesus reorients our understanding of
ourselves and the world around us, offering us nothing less than
the way, the truth and the life. Like John before him, Card has
written these words so that we may better believe that Jesus is the
Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing we have life in his
name.
History demonstrates that wherever the cross is planted, the
academy follows. But history alone cannot demonstrate why this
is--and must be--the case. Green engages theology and philosophy to
prove that the Christian vision of God, mankind, and the world
provides the necessary precondition for and enduring foundation of
meaningful intellectual life.
The Gospel and the Mind, deeply rooted in Augustinian and
Reformed thought, shows that core principles of the West's
Christian inheritance--such as creation and the importance of
history, the centrality of a telos to all things, and the logos and
the value of words--form the matrix of any promising and
sustainable intellectual life.
More than a lament of the state of the evangelical mind or even
an argument for the primacy of a Christian worldview, The Gospel
and the Mind is a paradigm-shifting declaration that the life of
the mind starts at the cross.

The early followers of Jesus drew from Jewish and Greco-Roman
traditions and titles to help them understand and articulate who
Jesus was. This book opens a window into the Christology of the
first century by helping readers understand the eleven most
significant titles for Jesus in the New Testament: Lord, Son of
Man, Messiah, Prophet, Suffering Servant, Son of God, Last Adam,
Passover Lamb, Savior, Word, and High Priest. The authors trace the
history of each title in the Old Testament, Second Temple
literature, and Greco-Roman literature and look at the context in
which the New Testament writers retrieved these traditions to
communicate their understanding of Christ. The result is a robust
portrait that is closely tied to the sacred traditions of Israel
and beyond that took on new significance in light of Jesus Christ.
This accessible and up-to-date exegetical study defends an early
"high" Christology and argues that the titles of Jesus invariably
point to an understanding of Jesus as God. In the process, it will
help readers appreciate the biblical witness to the person of
Jesus.
On a remote island off Cornwall, a man persuades his illegitimate
son to masquerade as his half-sister in order to get their hands on
her inheritance. The story revolves around the effect this has on
the boy and how it leads him to a bold exploration of his sexuality
in the context of a repressed Victorian society, and the
repercussions that follow for all who cross his path ...
Often this world seems like a nightmare. Human trafficking, young
girls trapped in brothels, child soldiers forced to become killers,
unchecked plagues and diseases, economic injustice and the
oppression of the poor. Millions around the world are trapped in
this nightmare, and we may feel helpless to do anything about it.
But God has a dream. York Moore paints a vivid picture of how the
dream of God is breaking into history to make all things new.
Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, God is bringing an end
to the world's nightmare of sin and death. Scripture's vision of
Jesus' end-time work shows how the wrongs will be made right, and
God's just judgment is good news for the world. Unpacking how the
Bible describes the last things, Moore shows how we can partner
with God as he brings his dream to reality. Every time a well is
dug for a community, food is provided for the hungry or sex
traffickers are brought to justice, the dream begins to take hold.
This is no mere wishful thinking. The dream of God is more real
than your dreams could ever imagine. It is what we were created
for. So wake up from the nightmare and join in what God is doing in
the world. And flourish as your own dreams are transformed by God's
dream for all creation.
Some scientific studies suggest that human beings are innately
selfish and that Christian virtues like self-sacrifice are a
delusion. In this intriguing volume, esteemed theologian Thomas Jay
Oord interprets the scientific research and responds from a
theological and philosophical standpoint, providing a
state-of-the-art overview of love and altruism studies. He offers a
definition of love that is scientifically, theologically, and
philosophically adequate. As Oord helps readers arrive at a clearer
understanding of the definition, recipients, and forms of love, he
mounts a case for Christian agape and ultimately for a loving God.
If you're a believer, God has given you a spirit of power, love,
and a sound mind. Yet how often do you feel assaulted by fear,
worry, anxiety, or negative thoughts? Unpacking personal
heartbreaks, struggles, and never shared before confessions,
Tarah-Lynn Saint-Elien gives you an intimately empowering look at
how to reign over your thoughts and feelings as God intended.
Snippets of her journal entries will assure you that you're not
alone and will encourage you to speak God's promises in spite of
what you see and feel. You will be given the weapons to identify
your triggers, take negative thoughts and debilitating emotions
captive, and posture your heart for delight. Trials and dangers may
abound, but you are a queen who does not cower in the face of
difficulty. By God's power, you can reign supreme over your inner
world.
The Original Rider Waite Tarot is the most popular and widely used
tarot card deck in the world. First issued in 1910, each card is
rich in symbolism and striking in its design. The deck is
accompanied by an invaluable instructional book, The Key to the
Tarot explaining the history and usage of the tarot cards, of which
there are 78 divided into the Major and Minor Arcanas. The book can
be used in conjunction with any set of tarot cards, but it was
written in particular to accompany the 78-card Rider Waite tarot
deck which was designed by Pamela Colman Smith in accordance with
A. E. Waite's instructions. The Key to the Tarot explains the
history and symbolism of the cards and gives instructions on how to
use them for purposes of divination. This edition includes a
specially commissioned foreword by Liz Greene.
In Reading Scripture with the Reformers, Timothy George takes
readers through the exciting events of the sixteenth century,
showing how this dynamic period was instigated by a fresh return to
the Scriptures. George immerses us in the world of the Reformation,
its continuities with the ancient and medieval church, and its
dramatic upheavals and controversies. Most of all, he uncovers the
significant way that the Bible shaped the minds and hearts of the
reformers. This book shows how the key figures of the Reformation
read and interpreted Scripture, and how their thought was shaped by
what they read. We are invited to see what the church today can
learn from the fathers of the Reformation, and how these figures
offer a model of reading, praying and living out the Scriptures.

In this third volume of the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture
(CCSS), Peter Williamson interprets Ephesians for pastoral
ministers and lay readers alike. This volume, like each in the
series, relates Scripture to life, is faithfully Catholic, and is
supplemented by features designed to help readers understand the
Bible more deeply and use it more effectively in teaching,
preaching, evangelization, and other forms of ministry.
What is ID? Why is it controversial? Intelligent design is
surrounded by a storm of debate. Proponents and opponents have both
sought to have their voices heard above the din. Is it
unscientific? Is it a danger to real Christian faith? Is it trying
to smuggle God into the classroom? Controversy can create confusion
rather than clarity. So here to clear things up is Bill Dembski,
one of the founders of intelligent design, who joins with Jonathan
Witt to answer these questions and more. They plainly lay out just
what intelligent design is and is not. They answer objections with
straight talk that is down to earth. You'll be surprised at how
often smart people have misrepresented ID. You might be surprised
to see exactly how they respond to what turns out to be misleading
arguments. Here is the book to make you intelligent about the whole
fuss
HOW CAN WE KNOW WE'LL GO TO HEAVEN? A recent poll indicated that
for every American who believes he or she is going to hell, there
are 120 who believe they're going to heaven. This optimism stands
in stark contrast to Jesus Christ's words written in the Bible:
"Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy
that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For
the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and
those who find it are few" (Matthew 7:13-14). The truth is that
according to the Bible we don't automatically go to heaven. In
fact, hell--not heaven--is our default destination. Unless our sin
problem is solved once and for all, we can't enter heaven. That's
the bad news. But once that's straight in our minds we're ready to
hear the good news of Jesus Christ. Jesus took upon himself, on the
cross, the hell we deserve so that we could experience for eternity
the heaven we don't deserve! THE ONLY TWO OPTIONS There are two
possible destinations when we die: heaven or hell. Can we really
know in advance where we'll go? John, one of the writers of the
Bible, said this: "I write these things to you who believe in the
name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal
life" (1 John 5:13). We can know for sure that we'll go to heaven
when we die. Do you? To sin means to fall short of God's holy
standards. Sin is what ended paradise in the Garden of Eden. And
all of us, like Adam and Eve, are sinners. "For all have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Sin separates us
from a relationship with God (Isaiah 59:2) and it deceives us and
makes us think that wrong is right and right is wrong (Proverbs
14:12). Sin has terrible consequences, but God has provided a
solution: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God
is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, loved us so much that he left the riches of
heaven to become a man and deliver us from our sin. "For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes
in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). He
came to identify with us in our humanity and our weakness, but he
did so without being tainted by our sin, self-deception, and moral
failings (Hebrews 4:15-16). Jesus died on the cross as the only one
worthy to pay the penalty for our sins demanded by the holiness of
God: "For our sake he [God] made him [Jesus] to be sin who knew no
sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2
Corinthians 5:21). But in victory over death, God raised Jesus from
the grave, defeating the consequences of sin (1 Corinthians 15:3-4,
54-57). When Christ died on the cross for us, he said, "It is
finished" (John 19:30). In those times "It is finished" was
commonly written across certificates of debt when they were
canceled. It meant "Paid in full." Christ died so that the
certificate of debt consisting of all our sins could once and for
all be marked "Paid in full." THE CRITICAL DECISION Only when our
sins are dealt with in Christ can we enter heaven. We cannot pay
our own way. Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father except through
me" (John 14:6). "There is salvation in no one else, for there is
no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be
saved" (Acts 4:12). Because of Jesus Christ's sacrificial death on
the cross on our behalf, God freely offers us forgiveness. To be
forgiven, we must recognize and repent of our sins. Forgiveness is
not automatic. It's conditioned upon confession: "If we confess our
sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse
us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). Christ offers to
everyone the gifts of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life.
"Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the
water of life without price" (Revelation 22:17). There's no
righteous deed we can do that will earn us a place in heaven (Titus
3:5). We come to Christ empty-handed. We can take no credit for
salvation. "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And
this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of
works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). This gift
cannot be worked for, earned, or achieved. It's dependent solely on
Christ's generous sacrifice on our behalf. Now is the time to make
things right with God. Confess your sinfulness and accept the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ on your behalf. You are made for a person
and a place. Jesus is the person, and heaven is the place. They are
a package-- they come together. You cannot get heaven without Jesus
or Jesus without heaven. "Seek the Lord while he may be found; call
upon him while he is near" (Isaiah 55:6). For all eternity you'll
be glad you did. If you understand what God has done to make
forgiveness and eternal life possible for you, you may want to
express it in words like these: "Dear Lord, I confess that I do not
measure up to your perfect standard. Thank you for sending Jesus to
die for my sins. I now place my trust in him as my Savior. Thank
you for your forgiveness and the gift of eternal life."
