I Am the Resurrection and the Life shares the truth that every person who has ever lived or will ever live on this Earth falls under. All of humanity falls into one of these two classes: believer or non-believer. Jesus Christ made it clear and precise that when the people of this Earth accept the message of the Gospel and receive the Him as Lord and Savior, they then pass from death into life. This book explains how a non-believer can receive life from the Lord Jesus Christ, just as the Father is the source of life and the giver of life, the Son also is able to give life to others. This is a distinct statement as to the deity of Jesus Christ and as to His equality with the Father. God the Father has given Jesus the authority to be the judge of all humanity in the world. Shedding light on the Gospel, Grace D. Balogun, explains to believers the power that is available to them as co-heirs with Christ. Come and learn that you are seated in Heavenly places with Christ and come to understand the power and glory of God as your life is conformed to the image of Christ through His resurrection. Filled with rich scripture and written from a sound biblical perspective, this book encourages maturity in the Lord to follow Him in all things. This is a must read for the believer and the non-believer alike. Today is the day of salvation; take hold of the Gospel of truth and pass from death to life in Jesus Christ.

The Codex Amiatinus and its "Sister" Bibles examines the full Bibles (Bibles containing every scriptural text that producers deemed canonical) made at the northern English monastery of Wearmouth-Jarrow under Abbot Ceolfrith (d. 716) and the Venerable Bede (d. 735), and the religious, cultural, and intellectual circumstances of their production. The key manuscript witness of this monastery's Bible-making enterprise is the Codex Amiatinus, a massive illustrated volume sent toward Rome in June 716, as a gift to St. Peter. Amiatinus is the oldest extant, largely intact Latin full Bible. Its survival is the critical reason that Ceolfrith's Wearmouth-Jarrow has long been recognized as a pivotal center in the evolution of the design, structure, and contents of medieval biblical codices.
