The wise men didn't arrive on a single starry night, in a stable bustling with shepherds. Their journey was a grueling, months-long quest across treacherous deserts and forbidding mountains, not a peaceful stroll to a manger. These were not gentle kings, but powerful, influential astrologers, so potent that their mere arrival in Jerusalem could send a paranoid king into a panic. They were men of power, science, and wealth, driven by an unshakeable conviction that a new king had been born, and they would stop at nothing to find him. Forget the gentle fable you know.

Being a young pastor in a local church can prove to be challenging and rewarding. The Apostle Paul wrote this letter to Timothy who was a young pastor in Ephesus. Paul was familiar with the Ephesian people since he had stopped there on his third missionary journey and started the church in Ephesus. The letter to Timothy is a letter full of advice and encouragement for the young pastor. Paul had been Timothy's mentor since they first met when Timothy was about 16 years of age. Paul instructs Timothy on proper worship, women in the church, qualifications of elders and deacons, treatment of ...

When this book was begun in late November 2013, the intent was to write a commentary on chapter five of Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus. But about fifty pages into that endeavor, it became clear that the book was not going in that direction. For one thing, his letter to that church had not even been mentioned in those pages. For another, the focus up to that point had been on Paul's missionary journeys. The reason for those problems was that the original intent had been to put his letter to the church into the context of his journeys. But there was so much to say about the journeys ...

A detailed look at the family of the House of David, Israel's greatest king.

Faith is essential; dreams are born in the heart of God; the force of Heaven shifts the sands of circumstance in our favor and makes our dreams come true. These truths are seen in the lives of Abraham and his great-grandson, Joseph.

Mari is a cat living by her claws on the fringes of the Judean desert. Yeshua ben Yosef is a man with healing hands, seeking solitude in the wastes beyond Qumran. Their paths cross when Yeshua drives away a pack of wild dogs and rescues the wounded cat, carrying her in his arms to a wadi where he settles to pray. An unusual friendship grows up between them, deepened by Yeshua's ability to speak with animals, and when he leaves the wilderness, she rides with him, hidden in a sling beneath his robe.

Five years after his brilliantly successful, Pulitzer Prize-winning book about God as portrayed in the Old Testament, Jack Miles gives us his striking consideration of Christ. He presents Christ as a hero of literature based only in part on the historical Jesus, asking us to take the idea of Christ as God Incarnate not as a dogma of religion but as the premise of a work of art, the New Testament.

He was loved. He was hated. But he was never ignored. Throughout history, men and women have asked, “Who is Jesus?” Some called him Lord. Others called him a great prophet. Still others called him an apostate and nailed him to a cross. The Jesus we meet in the New Testament is at once both human yet divine, adored yet feared, meek yet all-powerful. This Jesus can’t be summed up by a simple word or phrase, and his impact on world history and on the spiritual lives of believers today can’t be overstated. Jesus was just as polarizing in his own time as he is now. Some adored him, ...

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.
