Do you think you know about Noah's Flood: where it occurred; when it occurred; whether it was a natural event; a world flood; and what happened after the flood? Then the answers in this book may surprise you! While there are many flood stories from around the world, this book focuses on Noah's Flood as described in the Book of Genesis from The Old Testament.About 14,700 years ago, as the Earth came out of the ice age, eight-mile-high glaciers in eastern Antarctica began melting and calving into the Indian ocean. The resulting mega-tsunamis traveled northward up the Persian Gulf and through the valley formed by the Tigris-Euphrates river system. Noah, an ancient Sumerian, was carried Noah northwest along the Tigris-Euphrates flood plain into southeastern Turkey. He and his descendants eventually settled in and around ¿anl¿urfa (Urfa), which claims to be Abraham's birthplace. It is located in the northwest corner of the present-day Harran Plain in Turkey. There, Noah and his descendants built monolithic temples to their pantheon of gods.Gobekli Tepe, only recently discovered, overlooks Harran Plain and is considered to be a site of religious temples. It has been dated to be over 13,000 years old (the oldest monolithic structure known). It is from this location that agriculture began 12,000 years ago. Perhaps as Noah's three sons and their descendants migrated; Ham (Africa), Seth (Arabian Peninsula), and Japheth (west into Greece and east into Persia and India), they carried with them the knowledge of agriculture.It is amazing how well the scientific data presented in this book fits with Genesis and ancient stories such as the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh and the older Babylonian epic of Atra-Hasis.If you think you know Noah's story then you should read this book.

12 lectures. 12 wisdoms. 12 revelations. Welcome to the great unveiling of the Mystery of Christ, courtesy of one of the 20th century's greatest New Thought teachers, Neville Goddard."It's all about you, because it's all about God, and you are God asleep."Neville is well known as one of the most influential teachers of the Law of Assumption (where one assumes the thing desired in order to bring it about in reality), a predecessor to the Law of Attraction. What's not-so well known, is his status as a metaphysical teacher of biblical principles & scripture.Goddard frequently hosted community gatherings where he shared his knowledge of The Holy Bible, The Word, God, and Jesus Christ. Sometimes controversial, and always impactful, Neville pulled no punches in his candid messages with the intention to inspire every woman and man to seek their own self-liberation, and find Christ from within."Everyone has the same power. Because one has millions does not make him any more a creator than you are."With this collection of teachings, rarely has so much wisdom been rendered this raw and accessible. As one of our greatest modern teachers concerning matters of God, self, and spirituality, Neville reigns as a shining pioneer of manifestation, LOA, and law of assumption. His words have been preserved here, for the deep benefit of all who will receive them.Neville Goddard lectures in this volume:Good FridayThe CrucifixionThe Bread & the WineThe Mystery Called ChristWho is the Real Messiah?The Only Christianity...and 7 moreOrder your copy of The Mystery of Christ today, and verify in your own mind the true identity of the Christ, His relationship to you, and the great destiny in store for all of us!

The New Testament gospel writers record nineteen resurrection appearances, from the first encounter with Mary Magdalene on Easter morning to Paul's life-changing experience on the Damascus road. Stations of the Resurrection offers reflections on each of these episodes from the bestselling poet Malcolm Guite and the much admired writer and bishop, Guli Francis-Dehqani, accompanied by colour illustrations from the priest-artist Iain McKillop.Bishop Guli draws on her first hand knowledge of Middle Eastern culture to explore these stories and Malcolm Guite offers a sonnet in response to each of them - many published here for the first time - with reflections on the texts that inspired them.This imaginative and inspirational resource also includes the complete Stations of the Resurrection liturgies from Common Worship Times and Seasons that commemorate each of the nineteen events, allowing the book to be used for both personal devotional use and liturgical celebration.

The author of this book endeavors to present a straightforward approach to understanding the Trinity--an approach that hopefully welcomes all to a closer relationship with the Godhead. The author is a nontheologian lay writer who writes to fellow laypersons. Among objectives, a primary focus throughout is to reduce the complexity and mystery of the Trinity by emphasizing the dynamics of the three interrelationships as well as their respective manifestations through time. This approach contrasts with many studies on the Trinity which are complicated with discussions of historical details and theological doctrines, and can be confusing to a reader who is seeking an understanding of the Trinity concept. Focusing on merely an analysis or elaborate background description of the creeds, for example, does not bring "life" to the Trinitarian experience.In summary, the approach is a socialization of the Trinity. By focusing on the interaction among the three personages of the Trinity, the author endeavors to bring to the reader a more personalized "living" experience for the everyday life of peaceful, reassuring awareness. Many more contemporary writers dealing with the Trinity are focusing on dynamism, relationality, and motion to bring the Trinity into a more "living, loving" force for readers. The author has adopted this prescription throughout to enhance the effectiveness of the effort for the ultimate spiritual fulfillment of the reader.

PROPHECY IS WIDELY PRACTISEDThere are an estimated 600 million Charismatic & Pentecostal Christians in the world today and many regularly exercise prophecy, words of knowledge and words of wisdom.PROPHECY IS POWERFULMany lives have been changed and many churches transformed through the gifts of revelation, including dreams and visions.PROPHECY IS CONTROVERSIALSome argue that prophecy and other gifts of the Spirit are no longer operative and recent high-profile misguided 'prophecies' have brought the gift into disrepute.How can we negotiate the confusion and conflicting views that surround the use of prophecy in the contemporary church?REDEEMING PROPHECY evaluates prophecy today using the lens of Scripture and of church history. Informative and accessible, questions addressed include:· How do we actually receive and communicate prophecy?· How can we evaluate the content of a prophetic word?· Can we distinguish between human and divine elements of a prophecy?· What makes someone a false prophet?· What safeguards and protocols should be in place?· Is there an overlap between 'natural' intuition and prophecy?· How can we evaluate political prophecies?

Do you sense that something is missing? Could it be just one indispensable thing? Here is the simple but profound answer: It is the love of Jesus. "Many big books are like a shallow lake. Ed has written a little book, which I liken to a well, that may be small but is deep. Reading this book, like the best of the devotional classics, brings spiritual refreshment. The message is so simple and fundamental that the reader is left wondering why did I drift away from the course for years. And like any classic, we need to re-read it in a regular basis in order to plumb its depths. Drink from this well and will want to come back for more."-Dr. Eddie Gibbs, Senior Professor, School of Intercultural Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary"Ed Gross has a holy and heart-felt zeal for the Love of God, which he rightly believes is the source of all spiritual vitality. Whether we realize it or not, we are starving for God's love...and hurting others by our failure to love. Letthe Holy Spirit use this warm-hearted book to fill you with the love of Jesus."-Dr. Phil Ryken, President of Wheaton College"Everyone who hears Jesus's new commandment, 'Love one another,' will want to revel in 'Let Love Win Through You!'"Dr. Gerry Beshears, Professor of Theology and Program Director-Master of Applied Biblical Leadership at, Western Seminary. "We use 'love' all the time, but almost always misunderstand it in relation to biblical truth. Ed's refreshingly simple and helpful approach offers us a solid picture of love. With that picture I gain hope-hope that God's perspective can get us back on track with his love as the foundation from which we can love others as he does."Dr. Scott Moreau, Professor Emeritus of Intercultural Studies, Wheaton College. Former Editor, Evangelical Mission Quarterly. Edward N. Gross, Doctor of Missiology, is a graduate of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is a Coordinator of Discipleship Renewal with Compassion for Life International. His ministry has included calls to serve in missions, church planting, pastoral ministry and theological education.

GOING HOME AGAINThe first seven years of my life, 1945-1952, my family lived in a row house with white marble steps on Dukeland Street in the city of Baltimore, Maryland. Aubrey Bodine, a photojournalist, wrote, "The white marble steps of Baltimore have become the city's trademark and a marvel to visitors. Most of them are white marble, from nearby quarries, and housewives vie in keeping them bright. In any block, there is seldom a day that someone is not out scrubbing them." For me, those marble steps are symbolic of my entrance into a life in which family, faith, virtues, church, values, and friendships were essentials. As I reflect on those early years around the marble steps, the memories help me to recognize blessings of which I was unaware at the time. Frederick Buechner once commented, "'For all thy blessings, known and unknown, remembered and forgotten, we give thee thanks,' runs an old prayer, and it is for the all but unknown ones and the more than half-forgotten ones that we do well to look back over the journeys of our lives, because it is their presence that makes the life of each of us a sacred journey." In 1983, after attending a meeting in Baltimore, I decided to visit the old neighborhood. It had been thirty years since my family and I had moved from Dukeland Street to a house on Gwynn Oak Avenue. I was curious about my childhood home. When I drove to Dukeland Street and turned onto our block, I could immediately see the changes. I arrived in front of 610 Dukeland Street. I stopped my car and stayed inside of the vehicle. As I surveyed the property, I noticed that the row house looked smaller than I had remembered. Plywood had been placed over the windows, and the glass in the front door had been broken and poorly repaired. The white marble steps were filthy and appeared as if they had not been scrubbed recently. Of course, the family members I loved and who loved me were no longer there. After some sad moments, I drove to my home in Easton, Maryland, where my wife and children were waiting for me. Perhaps Thomas Wolfe was right, You Can't Go Home Again, as the title of his book correctly expresses my experience. However, in the meditations which I included in this book, I have attempted "going home again" another way. The good and bad memories we have made in our childhood homes continue to influence us throughout our lives. We all are responsible for our decisions and actions and reactions in various situations. Prayerfully, in our backgrounds, though, there are beliefs, attitudes, and values which can become blessings as we grow. Many parents are comforted and challenged by Solomon's wisdom, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22: 6). "Going home again" in that way, we can be recipients of blessings, "half-forgotten" and "unknown." My prayer is that the following meditations will provide a glimpse into my early years and also a challenge for others to remember blessings from the past.

This volume explores how Christians around the world have made sense of the meaning of suffering in the context of and post-COVID-19. It interrogates the question of God, suffering, and structural injustice. Further, it discusses the Christian response to the compounded threats of racial injustice, climate injustice, wildlife injustice, gender injustice, economic injustice, political injustice, unjust in the distributions of the vaccine and future challenges in the post-COVID-19 era. The contributions are authored by scholars, students, activists and clergy from various fields of inquiry and church traditions. The volume seeks to deepen Christian understanding of the meaning of suffering in the context of COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the fresh ways the pandemic can contribute to reconceptualizing human relations and specifically, what it means to be human in the context of suffering, the place of or justifications of God in suffering, human place in creation, andthe role of the church in re-articulating the theological meanings and praxes of suffering for today.

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. (Matthew 25:32)Volume 10A deep, inspiring, and often challenging study of the Lord Jesus Christ's miracles and parables.Men who were led by the hand or groped their way along the wall to reach Jesus were touched by his finger and went home without a guide, rejoicing that Jesus Christ had opened their eyes. Jesus is still able to perform such miracles. And, with the power of the Holy Spirit, his Word will be expounded and we'll watch for the signs to follow, expecting to see them at once. Why shouldn't those who read this be blessed with the light of heaven? This is my heart's inmost desire.I can't put fine words together. I've never studied speech. In fact, my heart loathes the very thought of intentionally speaking with fine words when souls are in danger of eternal punishment. No, I work to speak straight to your hearts and consciences, and if there is anyone with faith to receive, God will bless them with fresh revelation.- Charles H. SpurgeonIn this tenth volume, Charles H. Spurgeon expounds on small and large debts forgiven, the parable of the good Samaritan, the parable of the unfruitful fig tree, the parable of the wedding feast, excuses, counting the cost, the parable of the lost silver coin, the parable of the prodigal son, what it means to truly confess and repent of our sins.List of ChaptersBankrupt Debtors Discharged (Luke 7:42)Love's Competition (Luke 7:42-43)The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)Good News for You (Luke 10:33)Judgment Threatening but Mercy Sparing (Luke 13:7-8)This Year Too (Luke 13:8)All Things Are Ready.

When God needed someone to deliver his children from Egyptian bondage he was called Almighty God, and he called Moses to accomplish that task. But he was known as I AM to Moses and Israel. When God needed someone to deliver his children from the bondage of sin and death, he sent no one, he came himself, and he called himself I AM, the Messiah, the Christ, the Savior of the world.

This book shows that in Psalm 22 the psalmist complains to God about his shame experiences and he prays to him for his deliverance from shame and the restoration of his honor.

It discusses the social values of patronage, kinship/family, and trust which are the key values the psalmist held on to maintain his honor. are discussed in the book. It also explains the means of forsakenness/abandonment, taunt speeches, nakedness, and feast/meal that factor in the psalmist's shame and honor.The book also surveys the different deliverance terms which convey the psalmist's deliverance from shame. It shows Yahweh's active role in the restoration of the psalmist from shame to honor. The study adds an overview of the similarities and differences of how the same values and means were practiced in the Mediterranean and Mesopotamian, and Israelite backgrounds.

The Blue-Collar Bible Scholar's Reader's Guide to the New Testament is the culmination of what Joel Edmund Anderson has taught in his Bible classes at both the high school level and college level over the past 25 years of teaching. As the title suggests, it really is a "reader's guide" to help anyone understand what they're reading in the New Testament.Most Bible commentaries simply are not aimed at the average, sincere Christian who simply wants to make sense of what he/she is reading. Scholarly works are aimed at scholars that not only tend to focus solely on historical-critical questions and issues, but often fail to read any given biblical book as a unified, literary whole. Simply put, most scholarly works on the Bible give a heavy dose of historical, archeological, and textual information about the biblical text, but they make very little effort to actually read the biblical text and help the reader understand it. This is where the BCBS Reader's Guide to the New Testament is different. To be sure, Anderson gives enough historical background, both of the New Testament world and each individual New Testament book, so that the reader can get a grasp of the general time period, but his ultimate focus is to help the reader understand the biblical text itself. He does this by doing a number of things with each New Testament book:1. He provides a brief explanation of the time of writing and authorship of each book, as is generally accepted in both biblical scholarship and Church Tradition.2. He provides a "Big Things to Know" section that highlights the major themes and literary imagery in each New Testament book. This essentially is a "heads up" to the reader to look out for these themes and images as he/she reads any given New Testament book.3. He provides a "Story Chart" or "Literary Map" of each New Testament book that gives the reader a visual of the overall flow of each New Testament book. This is extremely helpful, in that it helps the reader (a) follow the storyline in books like the Gospels and Acts, and (b) trace the argument that is being made in each New Testament letter.4. He then provides a "walkthrough" of each New Testament book, passage by passage, helping the reader understand how each New Testament book fits together as a coherent whole. 5. Finally, in the corresponding BCBS Reader's Guide to the New Testament Workbook, Anderson provides study/discussion questions for the reader as he/she reads through each book in the New Testament. The workbook can be used in individual study, a Sunday School or Bible Study small group, or a high school Bible class.

Peace is a gift. One of the most sought-after states of being is peace of mind. People spend a tremendous amount of time and resources searching for the thing that will give them peace in culture and society, which increasingly thrives on disharmony, chaos, and what seems to be unending crisis. But the peace we seek is not found in other people, places, or possessions. The peace we seek is found in Jesus Christ. Our Savior came to bring peace by reconciling us to the Father. He left his peace in us through the presence of the Holy Spirit. He told us how to overcome the world--by seeking peace in him. He Gives You Peace is a devotional of biblical topics on how the peace of God impacts our lives and daily decisions. My prayer is that you will recognize and seek the peace of Jesus Christ as you engage with these devotional studies.Doris Willis A Measure of Grace

"Éste es un manual sobre obstetricia espiritual, escrito desde una profunda preocupación por los muchos cristianos que han tenido un mal 'parto'. Con demasiada frecuencia, el origen de una enfermedad espiritual posterior puede ser rastreado a una iniciación inadecuada en el Reino. Un mejor nacimiento significa un mayor crecimiento en una saludable vida cristiana".Basando su estudio en el Nuevo Testamento, David Pawson propicia una síntesis del énfasis "liberal" en el arrepentimiento, el "evangélico" en la fe, el "sacramental" en el bautismo y el "pentecostal" en el Espíritu. Luego relaciona estas "puertas espirituales" con los conceptos de la conversión y la regeneración.EL NACIMIENTO CRISTIANO NORMAL considera textos cruciales y polémicos, desafiando interpretaciones tradicionales. La sección final sobre la consejería evangelística cuestiona la suficiencia del enfoque de la típica "oración del pecador". Haciendo uso de las escrituras y la experiencia, el autor brinda muchas sugerencias prácticas para ayudar a potenciales discípulos a arrepentirse, creer, ser bautizados y recibir el Espíritu.

Esaminando meticolosamente un unico libro della Bibbia, E. J. Waggoner ha stabilito quattro principi fondamentali riguardo il carattere di Dio: l'eternità della Sua legge; l'importanza della libera volontà dell'umanita nella scelta di peccare o di non peccare; l'assurdità del peccato, in quanto esso è ribellione contro l'eterno amore di Dio espresso nella morte sacrificale di Cristo; e il dono gratuito per fede di Dio, che fortifica e rende tutti capaci di liberarsi dalla schiavitù del peccato, se noi solo crediamo la "buona novella" insegnata dal nostro Signore Gesù Cristo. Waggoner ha colto lospirito della lettera che l'apostolo Paolo scrisse ai Galati come pochi commentatori, o nessuno, hanno mai fatto. Nelle sue varie edizioniquesto libro ha suscitato fuochi di risveglio personale attraverso il mondo, compresi Australia, Africa, Nord e Sud America. È congrande impazienza che noi presentiamo quest'opera per la prima volta in italiano.

Presence & Power, Sense & Nonsense"There is good news," writes Douglas Jacoby in introducing this updated version of his book. "Your longings will not be left unfulfilled! You can know the truth about the Spirit, and you can know the power of God in your life. And you can experience significant spiritual growth, provided you are willing to pay the price. This will require patience on your part and a willingness to dig deep and often into God's treasure-house of knowledge."The Spirit is really two books in one. In Part One Douglas shows in practical ways how to walk in the Spirit and live in the Spirit's power. In Part Two the reader will find a more technical discussion of many issues connected with the Charismatic and Neo-pentecostal Movements of the twentieth century, as well as biblical answers to a host of other questions. For all of those who want a sound understanding of the living water that Jesus promised (John 7:38), this book will meet many ne
