Our Daily Walk is an exceptional collection of 366 Bible readings, one for every day of the Christian year. These discussions encourage the reader to be mindful of virtue and the essential teachings of the Bible scripture. For decades, F. B. Meyer delivered lectures and sermons regarding matters important to the congregation. Speaking with those who attended his talks, he gained a good impression of what the Christian believer was concerned about, and what they required for spiritual nourishment in their day-to-day lives. This convenient book represents the sum of Meyer's years of Bible study and preaching; a collection of poignant passages chosen for their ability to inspire those in need of advice or motivation. Our Daily Walk draws on both the New and Old Testaments of the Bible, with many of a given day's discussions referencing multiple books to crystallize the lessons in the reader's mind. Each thought is aptly concluded with a prayer that the reader can keep in mind throughout a day's trials.

What would you think if you received a fax from Heaven? Burke Aldridge died at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. Before he died, he told his wife he would send her a fax from Heaven, letting her know he was all right. Two doctors from Nashville claim they have seen Burke in their homes, since he died. The doctors faxed letters to Faye, sharing details of the after-death appearances and messages from her deceased husband. This book contains many true stories offering evidence of God's presence in one family's spiritual journey.

It is no coincidence that you have this book in your hands today. The Lord had it prepared especially for you, for your needs, for you to win your daily battles, and for you to take the power and authority He has given those who believe and trust in Him. It is the moment to behold the fulfillment of the promises that the Lord has for your life and to take the blessings for you and your family. Be born again, believe the Lord and confess His word and you will see great wonders which you have never imagined. After reading even the first page, your life will never be the same again. The Spirit of the Lord, especially for you, will fill you with His love, faithfulness and grace, just because He loves you and knows you. Live this unique and personal relationship that only the Lord can give you. As He did with me, so can He do it with you. Let yourself be an instrument of the Lord. Remember that it is "Especially For You." Live it and take it in your life in the name of Jesus.

Subjects which a few years ago were regarded as the exclusive property of cultured thinkers, are now common themes of thought and conversation. Psychology has been popularized. Materialistic doctrines are at a discount even in this age of physical science. It is difficult to explain the somewhat sudden appearance of intense interest in questions which have to do with the life of the spirit; but, whatever the theory of its genesis, there is no doubt of its presence. This, therefore, is a favorable time for a somewhat extended study of the stages through which we pass in our spiritual growth. I shall endeavor to use the inductive method in this inquiry, and trust that I am not presumptuous in giving to these essays the title, THE ASCENT OF THE SOUL.

Is there too much noise in your life? Do talking heads only add to your confusion and uncertainty? Has Christianity lost its edge, appeal, and zest for you? Do you need to hear the voice of God again for the first time?

"Listen Up!: An Introduction to Biblical Living" articulates God's voice in fresh, new sounds. It identifies the great questions that dominate our lives and trouble our souls. We need help! We need help to live the way God wants us to live, help to become all God knows we can be.

How do we get this help? Read about the biblical realities and the rules of biblical reading that can lead to answers--answers that challenge and comfort. Opportunity and adventure await you in these pages. Take a chance, and "listen up!"

Because there are more women in the Gospel of Luke than in any other gospel, feminists have given it much attention. In this commentary, Shelly Matthews and Barbara Reid show that feminist analysis demands much more than counting the number of female characters. Feminist biblical interpretation examines how the female characters function in the narrative and also scrutinizes the workings of power with respect to empire, to anti-Judaism, and to other forms of othering. Matthews and Reid draw attention to the ambiguities of the text-both the liberative possibilities and the ways that Luke upholds the patriarchal status quo-and guide readers to empowering reading strategies.

"As a wise person has said, 'The longest journey is the eighteen inches between the head and the heart." Every step of your journey, from the egocentric self to the Christ-centered heart, opens your life to the miracle of living with God-centered love. The process is not unlike the opening of a rosebud. The unfolding takes time, but in each moment of opening, new beauty is revealed. The journey from infantile human love to God-centered love is the most exciting of all journeys."-From the Introduction to "Reflections of the Heart"

Deep in the heart of every believer is the hunch, if not the conviction, that somewhere the Bible must sketch a portrait of the Lord Jesus Christ like this one. He must be the strong Man of God Who can fight against incredible odds and win the victory decisively. The purpose of the narrative on Samson in the book of Judges is to give us that portrayal, so we can realize and glory in the accomplishments of Jesus Christ like never before. Samson provides that unparalleled picture of Christ for us. Some will protest, "Samson was a womanizer! He can't be a type of Christ!" Squeamish commentators have thought that for years. But types of Christ are not determined by moral purity, but by the nature of their acts and how they can represent the things Christ has done. Christ has vanquished foes far more formidable than any giant and more numerous than any Philistine horde. He has fought the spiritual powers of darkness, with faith in God as His only weapon. He has taken the sword of death from Satan himself and now holds the keys of death and hades. God has used the mighty, powerful and miraculous victories of Samson to portray the faith of Christ. Christ's is a faith that never loses. Isaiah prophesied of Jesus, "I set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed" (50:7). Philip Scranton is a graduate of Mid-Continent University in Biblical Studies, and pursued graduate work in Biblical Languages. He was pastor of two churches and has written numerous magazine articles, especially in Old Testament Studies.

Can your small group benefit from a more powerful prayer life? This helpful study walks your members through an hour of prayer each day. Even if an hour a day is out of reach for many of your group members, they will find valuable insight into maximizing the time they do have. God has created an opportunity for His children to communicate with Him. This study will help your group members improve, or perhaps discover for the first time, the power that comes from a vibrant prayer life.
