"Who are you when no one's looking?" When her people were
threatened, Esther had to ask herself that question. She could risk
her life to try to save her fellow Israelites. Or she could "keep
her head down" to wait out the threat in obscurity and safety. In
nine sessions for individuals or groups, Patty Pell leads you to
examine the story of Esther. You'll discover how godly character
often develops under pressure. And you'll discover ideas for living
a godly life in the midst of contemporary pressures. This revised
LifeGuide Bible Study features additional questions for starting
group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection,
together with expanded leader's notes and a "Now or Later" section
in each study.
For many Jewish Christians of the first century, living in the
light of the gospel was challenging. Having accepted Jesus as the
long-awaited Messiah, they were regarded by still-skeptical family,
friends and neighbors as dangerous, misguided and even disloyal to
all that God had said earlier on. The letter to the Hebrews was
written to show that you can't go back to an earlier stage of God's
purposes but must press on eagerly to the one that is yet to come.
In these studies by Tom Wright we find encouragement and assurance
that pressing on, even in the face of such close and constant
pressure to fall back, is its own reward.

Paul's second letter to the Corinthians explores the meaning of the
cross in terms of personal suffering--his own, and that of all the
Messiah's people. If in Galatians he is angry, if in Philippians he
is joyful, in this letter his deep sorrow and the raw wounds of his
own recent suffering are very apparent. Yet he is determined to
view all of his suffering and all of the troubles of the world
through the lens of the gospel. These studies by Tom Wright on this
powerful epistle point us toward the strange comfort to be found in
the suffering, death and resurrection-life of Jesus, the Lord of
the world.
First impressions stick with us. Paul's first impression of the
Thessalonian Christians was an especially powerful one: The gospel
message he preached grasped their hearts and minds, and transformed
their lives. That memory moves Paul to write to the young church
that's bubbling with a sense of the power of the living God. These
studies seek to open our lives to that God who leaves a lasting
impression also on us. This guide by Tom Wright can be used on its
own or alongside his New Testament for Everyone commentary on 1
& 2 Thessalonians. It is designed to help you understand
Scripture in fresh ways under the guidance of one of the world's
leading New Testament scholars. Thoughtful questions, prayer
suggestions, and useful background and cultural information all
guide you or a group more deeply into God's Word. Discover how you
can participate more fully in God's kingdom.
With a scholar's mind and a pastor's heart, N. T. Wright guides us
through the New Testament book of Luke, showing how we can
particpate in Luke's story by making it real in our own world.
Twenty-six sessions for group or personal study.
