Isabel has walked in a faith Covenant relationship with the LORD, for approximately thirty years. In 1979 God called her to give up her work in the secular world, sell all that she owned and go to the Philippines. She was led into the mountain regions of Kalinga Apayao, to preach the gospel to the headhunting tribal people. The LORD worked with her confirming the preaching of His Word, with miraculous signs and wonders. This is recorded in her latest book, "THE MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH". She is also the author of Arise and Reap, Reaping with Joy and Come out of her, my People. In January 2000, Isabel returned to the Philippines on her fifth ministry mission. She was told by the Lord, to build and oversee a work which was to be named "Covenant Keepers", as the Lord desired to raise up a body of people who would walk in a faith Covenant relationship with Him. All was accomplished by the Lord's leading and provision. The Lord taught us that He is the Covenant keeping God, who has redeemed His saints from the curse of the law (Gal. 13:3).The curse of the law is sickness, pain, disease, suffering, poverty and the second death, which is eternal damnation in the lake of fire and brimstone (Duet. 28:15-61 & Rev. 21:8). In the Everlasting Covenant agreement which is sealed with the holy redeeming blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, God has freely provided forgiveness of sin, eternal life, imputed righteousness, divine provision, divine protection, and divine health for His redeemed saints. To walk in all the blessings of the Everlasting Covenant, we must first understand what blessings were freely provided in the Atonement in the Lord Jesus Christ, and take the blessings by faith. As you apply the teaching in this manual, you will learn to be a Covenant keeper, who will walk in all the blessings of the Everlasting Covenant.

An academic/historical overview, not a religious commentary, our 3-panel (6-page) guide portrays the historical significance of the key figures of the Old Testament, divided into chronological sections.

Sections include: style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> God Major Figure of the Old Testament Genesis Key Figures (Adam; Eve; Cain; Abel; Noah; Abraham; Isaac; Jacob; Joseph) Exodus Key Figures (Moses; Aaron) Early History of Israel Key Figures (Joshua; Samuel; Saul; David; Solomon) Later History of Israel Key Figures (Elijah & Elisha; Esther; Job) And much more!
A series of short, question-based study guides based around the New Testament For Everyone series. The series is intended to encourage church (and other) groups to study the Bible using the For Everyone model. Experienced Bible study writers have selected excerpts and written questions that guide users through the thought of Tom Wright on each passage. These have been reviewed, edited and approved by Tom Wright. Creation is in anguish. Paul's letter to the Romans, as well as the merest glance at our world, shows this clearly. The Church shares in the suffering, groaning in the tension between the 'already' of possessing the fruit of the Spirit and the 'not yet' of our present existence. Paul, however, also makes it abundantly clear that God doesn't stand apart from the pain. Rather, he entered it through Jesus and dwells in the middle of it in the Spirit. These studies present the whole picture of a suffering, sinful world and God's deep love, still working today to reconcile that world to himself.

John Eaton compares reading the Psalms to walking in the mountains: 'Time and time again you see a new crest to climb, but the summit remains beyond.' In "Psalms for Life", he explores the poetry as a never failing source of challenge, comfort and encouragement. Beginning with Psalm 1 and continuing through to Psalm 150, he provides a short reflection on each psalm, explaining the poet's essential message, and ending with a brief meditative prayer. Readers are helped to identify with the wide range of emotions expressed in the Psalms and to pray for God's loving guidance in dealing with them from day to day. As a distinguished biblical scholar who has studied the Psalms all of his life, John Eaton writes with warmth, clarity and authority. As a Christian, he sees the Psalms as prophetic of Christ, revealing vital and often little-known facts of his life and character. As a sensitive and skilful teacher, he draws out the full significance of these ancient songs as a source of wisdom and insight for all who live the Christian life today.
This study guide introduces students to the Book of Proverbs from the Old Testament. Zoltán Schwáb examines the book's structure and characteristics; covers the latest Biblical scholarship, including historical and interpretive issues; and considers a range of scholarly approaches from historical-critical through feminist to theological.

A brief chapter by chapter commentary on Proverbs will highlight the major themes of each of its sections. The playful ambiguity and poetry of the proverbs is also discussed. A special emphasis will be placed on how different historical, literary, or performance contexts can influence a proverb’s meaning. Finally, the guide presents an overview of the rich heritage of African interpretation of proverbs. With suggestions of further reading at the end of each chapter, this guide will be an essential accompaniment to the study of the Book of Proverbs.
