The Training of the Twelve tells us in detail how Jesus chose and
trained the twelve apostles, imbuing each with the knowledge and
instruction that would become the founding wisdom of Christianity.
We find in this book a detailed and intensive Biblical biography,
with chapters dedicated to each of the twelve. The methods which
Jesus Christ uses in selecting his disciples is examined, as we
witness the various episodes in his existence. Bruce's narrative is
chronological, and it is useful for the reader to have a Bible to
hand to better understand and comprehend the lessons present in the
text. A. B. Bruce also includes soundly reasoned passages on the
identity of three unnamed apostles. Alexander Balmain Bruce worked
for decades in the Free Church of Scotland, preaching and studying
Bible lore. His commentaries were popular during his lifetime, with
translations made to other languages - notably, he was among the
few Scottish Biblical theologians to gain the approval and respect
of German scholars.

God has given you gifts so you can fulfill His purpose for your life,
but if you're like a lot of people, you may not have recognized your
talents yet. Start asking God to show you something special about the
way He's made you.
To some people, He's given a very tender, compassionate heart, and some
He has wired to lead others effectively. Others, He has given a gift of
being able to communicate clearly, to teach, to make scientific
discoveries, or to write beautiful music. Only you can discover all the
dynamic gifts He's placed in you.
Become Authentically, Uniquely You because God is never going to help
you be anyone but yourself. He loves you just as you are. Let God use
you, with all your strengths and weaknesses, and transform you from the
inside out to do something powerful beyond your wildest dreams.
This devotional probes the depths of Scripture, calling us to radical
discipleship. Russel D. Fox observes that the church is struggling with
pursuing holiness, which leads to conflict and the splintering of
churches. Drawing from his experiences growing up and his career in the
car business, he shares how to apply biblical principles as you pursue
holiness. He considers questions such as: - What must we do before we
work on our holiness? - How can we draw closer to the Father through
the Son? - How can we enter the kingdom of heaven? - What are the
consequences of sin? You're encouraged to read each devotional with
God's Word open. Take time to chew on what you have read and meditate
on God's Word and journal as you go through this book. These
thought-provoking devotionals will challenge you to go on a deeper,
more profound walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
