King Hezekiah was considered the most righteous king during Israel’s divided kingdom period. Both his father and son were also considered among the most wicked of kings, but sandwiched between them was Hezekiah, a man of prayer who would be tested by threat of destruction and the loss of life from illness. He humbly sought God in prayer and was delivered for his righteousness. In this book, we will learn about this king and more importantly, we will glean wisdom to help our own prayer life become strong.

A renowned diviner. An approaching and victorious army. A divine encounter. A talking donkey. And the message of Yahweh reigning as King. Balaam is well known as the primary example of a false prophet in the New Testament. But he wasn't a false prophet in the way that many of us would define them today. His story remains shocking and often misunderstood. While many remember the story of the talking donkey from the book of Numbers, few remember Balaam's incredible insights and battle of wills with Yahweh the Creator of the Universe. Balaam's God reveals the depths of Balaam's powers, the ...

Luke is the story of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. It tells of his origin, life, teachings, ministry, and miracles. It tells of his death, burial, resurrection, and ascension to heaven. Consequently, Luke may be the most informative book in the Bible. Before writing his book, Luke examined written materials and talked to eyewitnesses. Eyewitness Bible Series: Luke is meant to imitate some of the stories Luke might have heard, as well as explore their meaning and importance. This series is true to the Bible, but fills in storylines based on history, geography, and imagination.

In The Portable Patriot, you’ll find a carefully assembled sampling of American history’s most formative words, written by the people who made that extraordinary history. Speeches and sermons, essays and extracts, poems and proclamations illumine such values as independence, virtue, humility, bravery, thrift, prayer, liberty, and reliance on God.

Od momentu, gdy jako pierwsza zobaczyła Jezusa po zmartwychwstaniu i ogłosiła to światu, na temat jej dalszych losów Biblia milczy. Jednak ślady jej obecności i podróży do Rzymu, Efezu, Egiptu czy Francji można znaleźć m.in. w niekanonicznych ewangeliach i apokryfach. Aby je poznać, autorka odbyła długą drogę. Wiedzy i natchnienia szukała np. w bogatych archiwach Watykanu, docierając do najstarszych manuskryptów i zapomnianych ksiąg.

In Job: Beyond What You've Been Taught, history, archaeology, and theology converge to illuminate one of the most profound books of the Bible—Job. Far from a simple tale of suffering and faith, the Book of Job is a literary masterpiece that has challenged readers for millennia. Job: Beyond What You've Been Taught explores Job not only as scripture but as a product of its ancient Near Eastern context. Drawing on archaeological findings from Mesopotamia and Canaan, historical records, and comparative literature—such as the Babylonian Ludlul-Bēl-Nēmeqi—this study situates Job within a ...

All too often, throughout history, women have been either unrecognized or underestimated. This book focuses on “unrecognized” women in the bible. I struggled with a sound title for this, my third edition of “The Eyewitnesses.” Finally, the word “uncelebrated” emerged as a more powerful word. Twenty women are featured in this work; their stories stretch from Genesis to Timothy. None of the women in this book are truly CELBRATED, yet they are all VERY IMPORTANT to God’s message. In my earlier “Eyewitness” books, I used fictitious people who may have witnessed God’s work. ...

Impossible. That is the word that continues to describe Abraham. Scholars have long thought his life was only myth, a legend to give Israel a past. Even Christians have reduced the story to fable, trying to reconcile his life story with scientific claims propped up by anthropology and evolution. The critics are firm: there is no archaeological or historical evidence to support the biblical account of Abraham. But their foundation has cracks, and new discoveries are widening them. In this book you'll learn about the discoveries that are changing scholars' minds and confirming the truth ...

For the last 150 years, both popular and academic views have asserted that Jesus spoke Aramaic as his primary language of communication since supposedly Hebrew died out after the children of Israel were taken into Babylonian captivity. This view, however, is not based on the testimony of the Old Testament, the New Testament, historical sources, or Jesus' actual words. Just which language did Jesus and his disciples speak?

A generation of 20th-century Americans knew him as a gentle, stoop-shouldered old black man who loved plants and discovered more than a hundred uses for the humble peanut.

El Evangelio de Mateo es uno de los cuatro Evangelios del Nuevo Testamento. Fue escrito teniendo en mente a una audiencia judía, por lo cual contiene muchas referencias a las profecías del Antiguo Testamento que Jesús cumplió.

El objetivo de Mateo era demostrarle a los judíos que Jesús era efectivamente el Mesías que tanto habían esperado.Los evangelios son tradicionalmente impresos con Mateo primero porque todas las listas primitivas que existen de los evangelios lo ponen como el primero (tradición recogida y defendida).
