Ephesians tells us what God has given to us by grace, because of His own devotion toward His family, to involve us in His glory. Unlike the other epistles, Ephesians does not chide the Church for anything. It is concerned with informing us about the richness of eternal life and inheritance that has been bestowed on us by the generosity of God. Ephesians gives us a unique look at the heart of God and how marvelously He has set it up for us in His family and His Kingdom to share in His wisdom, His power, and His love because that is what He wanted to do. We have not deserved it and we have not invoked it by our actions or our faith. God has done it all because it pleased Him to do it. We are accepted in the beloved family of God because He has made us to be accepted. Ephesians proceeds to tell us what this language means in terms of our lives and relationship to God now. The magnitude of this grace and glory is staggering:

An exhaustive commentary on the Book of Revelation that treats every verse, figure symbol, and number symbol in the Book. It is the consummation of a lifetime of study and provides the reader with rare insights into the non-Zionist beliefs and teachings of the Apostles and the church fathers about Revelation. In this book the myths of Christian Zionism and Materialistic Theology are exposed and Historic Christian Orthodoxy, the reigning faith of the Church from the fourth to the nineteenth centuries is uncovered from beneath the debris of Age of Reason and Age of Enlightenment Humanistic Theology. The key, or at least a key to understanding the book of Revelation is to know the meanings of the number and figure symbols in which it consists. Those symbols come from the Scriptures themselves, both in the Old and New Testaments. But that leaves a long field from which to glean and that is why a comprehensive knowledge of the Bible is essential. It is in this latter area of consideration that Dr. Cripe excels.

Without serious argument, Genesis is at once the most fascinating and compelling andthe most misunderstood book in the Bible. The foundation of the Gospel and the HistoricChristian Church is laid down in the first eight chapters. Without a proper understandingof what took place there, why, and when, there is no Gospel. Dr. Cripe uses his winsomemethod of teaching, his God-given wisdom and knowledge, his elegant, eloquent, and lucidwriting style, and his gifts as a Christian mystic to unlock and discuss secrets that havelain dormant and hidden for far too long. In this book, Earl takes on the humanists whoseek to make the creation account something other than literal and exposes their nefariousagendas. In this book essential, elusive, and transcendent questions are asked and answered: Where did evil come from? Was the serpent the devil? Why did God put the Tree of theknowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden? Why did God give the serpent access to Eve?Did the Genesis Flood Happen? Was it universal? What is the testimony of the eartharound us regarding this question?In the end of the age when the fury of the dragon is being unleashed against the Bible, belief in God, and the integrity of the historic church, we cannot imagine a more vital andtimely book for all who seek find truth in the foment of a caldron of lies and disinformation.If you are a dedicated and sincere seeker for truth, The Dust and he Glory will supply youwith vital and needed information, and will make a better Christian of you.

The Other Side of Jordan This is an exhaustive commentary on the Book of Hebrews. Rev. Cripe believes this may be his most important and needed commentary to date. The Book of Hebrews is among the most misunderstood and mistaught in all of the Bible. The notion that it was written by a Hebrew to Jewish Christians and that you have to be a Jew to really understand it is far off the mark. It was not written to Jews exclusively and probably not written by a Hebrew, as the opening chapter seems to establish. The Theme of the Book is Sanctification. The message is what Christ and the Cross have done to make sanctified living possible and mandatory for the Church. If you read this book carefully and prayerfully it will definitely help you in your walk of faith.

Rev. Cripe gives an interpretation of Romans which rises from the orthodox precept that revelation, not reason, is the test of truth. He sees faith, not intellect, as the link between man and God; the Word of God as the medium of communication, and the Holy Ghost as the Communicator. In his comprehensive commentary, Rev. Cripe disdains the intimidation of modem religious tradition and humanism. His commitment to the text and the context is immediately apparent to those who, like the Bereans, read with all readiness of mind and let the Scriptures distinguish the true from the false. With the clear, clarion voice of a prophet, Rev. Cripe incorporates independent and original thought with orthodox doctrinal disciplines that brush aside the stifling and misleading errors of rationalism. The childlike simplicity of the explanations in this book brings the mighty and timeless riches of Romans back into the reach of sincere Christians who seek the reality and vitality of the victorious Christian life evidenced by the Apostles and the Church of the first century. "The Epistle to the Romans furnishes us with the foundation stones of the Gospel," he says. Not Ashamed of the Gospel puts those foundation stones into their proper place.

When the Lord called me to the Ministry, in 1962 at the age of 28, I had much to learn. Studies in Romans and Hebrews captivated me and were very instrumental in forming the direction my life and minsitry would take. But nothing was more revealing, exciting, and instructive in those early years than the book of Galatians. It opened my spiritual eyes to the real difference between the Old and the New Covenants. Previously I had thought that legalism consisted in rules and regulations; and that freedom meant autonomy. Galatians showed me how wrong that was and what freedom in Christ really is. That was one of the great discoveries of my life." It is my prayer that God, in His grace and power, will use this book to expose the real bondage that Christians face and make the true meaning of the Liberty that Christ has provided to us by Faith and not works clear to all. It is an understanding that is much needed.
