Tom Wright has completed a tremendous task: to provide
comprehensive guides to all the books of the New Testament, and to
furnish them with his own fresh translation of the entire text.
Each short passage is followed by a highly readable commentary with
helpful background information. The format makes it appropriate
also for daily study.
In a climate of disunity and doctrinal deviation, the apostle John
called his first readers to live in the love and truth of God.
David Jackman has no doubt that John's letters are a vital,
powerful word from the Lord to the church today around the world.
So often we take extreme positions, leading to a fragmentation of
both churches and individuals. This book will help us to respond
afresh to the apostle's call to love one another and live in the
light.

Collection editions draw from the legacy of the trustworthy and
timeless KJV with elegant letter illustrations leading into each
chapter, the exclusive Comfort Print typeface inspired by
centuries-old Thomas Nelson editions, and more classic Bible
details. In 1611, the King James Version Bible, also known as the
Authorized Version, was published. Nearly 50 of the day's finest
scholars, all from the Church of England, had been organized into
six groups for the task. Using the Bishop's Bible of 1568 as the
basis for this revision, the Old Testament was translated from
Hebrew and the New Testament from Greek. The completed work was
then peer-reviewed before being sent to bishops and other church
leaders for their examination, and ultimately to King James,
monarch of England and Scotland, for his approval. Today, more than
400 years since its initial publication, the bestselling King James
Version Bible continues to inspire, encourage, and strengthen
people from all walks of life. The KJV is considered one of the
most influential and beautiful works of literature in the English
language and continues to be the favorite translation for millions
of Christians. Features include: Line-matched classic 2-column
format for a comfortable reading experience Wide outer margins for
notes and reflections to engage in deeper study Book introductions

A pocket-sized book filled with inspirational religious thoughts on
the theme of peace, joy and hope. There are some days in our lives
that we never want to forget - they're full of good memories,
happiness and laughter. But there are also days that we struggle to
remember, and a few that we wish didn't happen at all. Yet it is
God's desire that we live life abundantly, but how can we do this?
In God's Little Book of Life, words of uplifting encouragement are
always at hand to bring renewed inspiration and vigour to our daily
lives. Filled with comforting Bible verses, spiritual thoughts and
reflective journal pages, open this little book and you'll find
ways that will enable you to experience a life worth living. "The
future is today. Live for today, enjoy today - it comes but only
once."
The New Testament for Everyone is the result of a passionate
conviction that scripture should be something that everyone can
read, understand and enjoy. Broken up into easy-to-read, bite-sized
chunks, and now including helpful introductions to each biblical
book, informative maps and a substantial glossary of key words,
here is a new rendering of ancient wisdom that can be read like a
novel, studied in sections or used as an aid to daily devotion.
'A letter was delivered, and a legacy had begun. Over other seas,
through other lands, across two thousand years and in even more
languages, the letter of the Romans speaks and speaks
meaningfully.' This Really Useful Guide to Romans is an exploration
of this complex letter to a church that Paul himself never visited.
Ernest Clark covers many helpful aspects of the letter, from its
intended recipients to its central themes. Emphasising that this is
a message of grace and good news to God's loved ones as well as a
profound theological treatise, he goes on to look at how Romans
fits alongside other New Testament writings and what it means for
us as believers today.
Making use of his true scholar's understanding, yet writing in an
approachable and anecdotal style, Tom Wright manages to convey the
simplicity, and helps to unravel the great complexity, of this
extraordinary gospel. He describes it as "one of the great books in
the literature of the world; and part of its greatness is the way
it reveals its secrets not just to high-flown learning, but to
those who come to it with humility and hope".

'This is a wonderful companion for Lent by Bishop David Walker. It
is short but deep, and engages the reader in both prayer and
reflection. A perfect way to explore what it means for all of us to
belong to Christ in a challenging world.' Justin Welby, Archbishop
of Canterbury Every day during Lent Bishop David Walker invites us
to look afresh at a Biblical character or saint. We gain new
insights into their lives. He helps us journey through Lent with a
deeper knowledge of how much God loves and treasures us. God
reminds us 'You are mine.' David draws on his experience as an
ordinary member of a family and a friend, a theologian and a
Bishop. God's desire is for us to belong to Jesus and to each
other. The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu 'Again and again, as
I have sought to look into both the scriptures and my own life, I
have heard in the silence the one who assures me, ever more
strongly, 'You are mine'. My hope and prayer is that you who read
it will hear something of the same.' At this time of Lent, David
Walker explores different aspects of human belonging through the
medium of scripture and story in order to help us recognise the
different ways in which we are God's beloved. And as we recognise
ourselves and our own lives in the narrative of God's engagement
with humanity and his creation, he gently challenges us to engage
for God's sake with God's world.

In this addition to the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture,
two well-respected New Testament scholars interpret the Gospel of
John in its historical and literary setting as well as in light of
the Church's doctrinal, liturgical, and spiritual tradition. They
unpack the wisdom of the Fourth Gospel for the intellectual and
spiritual transformation of its readers and connect the Gospel with
a range of witnesses throughout the whole history of Catholicism.
This volume, like each in the series, 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.
Here are 40 simple but penetrating reflections on the task of
walking daily in the light of Christ. They are accompanied by a
range of beautiful illustrations. Darkness cannot remain in the
presence of light. Yet it is not as simple as the flicking on of a
switch. It requires action on our part. For in the shadowy corners
of our daily lives, where pain, loneliness, and disappointment
linger, we need to choose to leave the darkness behind and follow
the light. That light is to be found in the One who declares
Himself to be the Light of the World. In forty short devotional
readings Catherine encourages us to make living in the Light a
daily practice by accessing the power available to us in Jesus. As
we do so we will see the darkness flee before our eyes.
