This is a crucial study for those asking God 'Why?' Job's
persistence in seeking an answer from God as to why he was
suffering has many lessons to teach us. These 12 studies will help
anyone who is wrestling with God. This revised title features
questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in
personal reflection, as well as a 'now or later' section in each
study.
In every age people have felt sure that the book of Revelation
described events in their time. As nations arm themselves for war,
we think of Armageddon. As evil rulers grow in power, we look for
the antichrist. As the powers of darkness threaten to overwhelm us,
we cry, 'Come, Lord Jesus!' Amid the uncertainties of our age,
Revelation assures us of the ultimate triumph of God. This revised
Lifebuilder Bible Study features additional questions for starting
group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection,
together with expanded leader's notes and an extra 'Now or Later'
section in each study.
We're updating and revising our bestselling LifeGuides to make them
even more effective for small group Bible study!
New features of the revised LifeGuides include special options
for group activities, additional questions for personal reflection,
a "Now or Later" section with practical follow-up activities for
use after the study or between sessions, expanded and improved
leaders' notes and an attractive, redesigned format for easier
reading.
Beginning with the new guides Miracles and Pleasing God
(released in February 1999), all new LifeGuides will be presented
in the new format. In addition, more existing volumes will be
revised every year to ensure that all our LifeGuides continue to be
effective Bible study resources for the twenty-first century.
We despise our weaknesses; the apostle Paul delighted in his. We
beg God to remove obstacles from our lives; Paul thanked God for
such opportunities to experience his power. Throughout 2
Corinthians Paul turns many of our values upside down. He teaches
us that in all circumstances we can rely on God's promise: "My
grace is sufficient for you".
Usually when we speak of service we refer to something done for the
benefit of others. But in both languages of the Bible, Greek and
Hebrew, ministry and service are the same word - ministry is
service to God and neighbour. These ten studies, covering examples
from Genesis to Revelation, explore service in a variety of
contexts: family, creation, society, the city, neighbours,
relationships, the church and the workplace. They examine examples
of service that were motivated by imagination, passion, faith, hope
and love.
Each of us is unique. And each one of us has been invited by God to
participate in his kingdom work. Yet many times we hesitate to
serve, uncertain of our gifts and of God's purpose for our life. In
these studies we learn how to recognise our own spiritual gifts as
well as those of others, and how to practically use them to glorify
God in our relationships, our work and the world. Eight studies for
individuals and small groups. The best-selling Lifebuilders series
have helped millions of people dig deeper into the Bible,
individually and in small groups. There are questions for
stimulating group discussions, ideas for meeting God in personal
reflection, and a now or later section in the revised
format.Session 1 covers 1 Corinthians 12; Session 2 Ephesians
4:1-16; Session 3 Romans 12:1-13; and also 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22;
Session 4 studies 1 Corinthians 14:1-33; Session 5: Isaiah 61:1-9
and Luke 4:14-21; Session 6 Galatians 5:16-26; Session 7 Exodus
part of chapters 31,35 and 36. The last Session 8 examines Acts 2.
Major companies that once controlled the world's oil resources,
refineries and distribution systems are now having to share the
market with national oil companies, independent producers and local
distributors, while developing nations are extending ever more
attractive terms for exploration, development and production. The
result is an increase in the overall world oil supply and an
intensification of competition in the industry. Such challenges
force oil producers to search for new technologies in order to
remain competitive in the world market. Strategic positioning plays
an important role, determining whether a producer can benefit from
the latest technologies and is able to dispose of its oil in the
international market, or profit from the oil-price fluctuations in
the commodity market. This study considers strategic positioning
and the options available to countries and companies alike in terms
of their upstream and downstream industries.
Written by a team of leading international scholars, The Cambridge
Companion to Shakespeare and War illuminates the ways Shakespeare's
works provide a rich and imaginative resource for thinking about
the topic of war. Contributors explore the multiplicity of
conflicting perspectives his dramas offer: war depicted from
chivalric, masculine, nationalistic, and imperial perspectives; war
depicted as a source of great excitement and as a theater of honor;
war depicted from realistic or skeptical perspectives that expose
the butchery, suffering, illness, famine, degradation, and havoc it
causes. The essays in this volume examine the representations and
rhetoric of war throughout Shakespeare's plays, as well as the
modern history of the war plays on stage, in film, and in
propaganda. This book offers fresh perspectives on Shakespeare's
multifaceted representations of the complexities of early modern
warfare, while at the same time illuminating why his perspectives
on war and its consequences continue to matter now and in the
future.
Do you wonder about the "end times"-- when it will come? what it
will be like? what will happen to you? As R. Paul Stevens leads you
to examine for yourself what the Bible says about end times, you'll
learn what you can do now to be ready for the future--whatever it
holds. 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.

What does good theology have to do with good entrepreneurship? In
this pioneering work, Richard Goossen and R. Paul Stevens have
written what many are already declaring to be the essential
resource for Christian entrepreneurial leadership, based on
exhaustive research, practical experience and decades of teaching
marketplace theology. Entrepreneurial Leadership addresses both the
"how-come" and the "how-to," not only grounding the entrepreneurial
calling in its proper source in the triune God but also providing
practical guides for how to be an effective leader. Be inspired to
find your calling and to make a difference in the marketplace,
church and beyond.
Adam and Eve worked. Jacob and Joseph worked. So did Ruth, David,
Daniel, Jonah, Martha, Priscilla and Aquila, Paul -- and most
people in the Old and New Testaments. In Work Matters marketplace
theology expert R. Paul Stevens revisits more than twenty biblical
accounts -- from Genesis to Revelation -- exploring through them
the theological meaning of every sort of work, manual or
intellectual, domestic or commercial. Taken together, his short,
pithy reflections on these well-known Bible passages add up to a
comprehensive, Bible-based theology of work -- one that will be
equally useful for seminars, classes, Bible studies, and
individuals seeking to grasp more fully the theological dimensions
of their daily labor.
Supreme Court justices have long relied on law clerks to help
process the work of the Court. Yet few outside the Court are privy
to the behind-the-scenes bonds that form between justices and their
clerks. In Of Courtiers and Kings, Todd C. Peppers and Clare
Cushman offer an intimate new look at the personal and professional
relationships of law clerks with their justices. Going beyond the
book's widely acclaimed predecessor, In Chambers, the vignettes
collected here range from reflections on how serving as clerks at
the Supreme Court impacted the careers of justices including
Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, William Rehnquist, John G. Roberts
Jr., and John Paul Stevens to personal recollections written by
members of families of which more than one served as Supreme Court
clerks. While individual essays often focus on a single justice and
his or her corps of clerks?including how that justice selected and
utilized the clerks?taken as a whole the volume provides a
macro-level view of the evolution of the role of the Supreme Court
law clerk. Drawing on a rich repository of such anecdotes,
insights, and experience, the volume relates in a clear and
accessible style how the clerking function has changed over time
and what it is like for law clerks to be witnesses to history.
Offering a rare glimpse into a normally unseen world, Of Courtiers
and Kings reveals the Court's increasing reliance on law clerks and
raises important questions about the selection, utilization, and
influence of law clerks.
