2 Peter and Jude are rich resources for understanding the call to live godly and holy lives. Dr. Uytanlet skillfully expounds these books to show that our understanding of false teachers should be broadened to include lifestyle and character.

El Diácono Francisco Enderle, ex Director Ejecutivo del Diaconado Permanente de la Arquidiócesis de Washington y el ex Director de Formación del Clero de la Diócesis de Sacramento comenzó en el año 2000 a escribir homilías en español para publicación en Internet. Este libro es el segundo tomo de la serie Homilias/Homilies Domingo/Sunday Ciclo/Cycle B. Contiene 57 homilías en español, con sus traducciones al inglés. Fue escrito para los predicadores que prefieren leer las homilías en libro en vez de en el Internet. La diferencia entre este libro bilingüe y otros es que las homilías fueron escritas en español y traducidas al inglés y no al revés, como se suele hacer en otros libros. Esperamos que estos libros sean útiles tanto para los predicadores de habla Hispana como para los de habla Inglesa que tienen que predicar en español.Deacon Frank Enderle, former Executive Director of the Permanent Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Washington and former Director of Clergy Formation in the Diocese of Sacramento, began writing and publishing homilies in Spanish on the Internet in 2000. This book is the second in the Homilias/Homilies Domingo/Sunday Ciclo/Cycle B series. It contains 57 Spanish homilies with English translations. It is published specifically for those who preach who prefer to read the homilies in book format rather than on the Internet. The difference between this bilingual book and others is that these homilies were originally written in Spanish and translated into English, not vice-versa, as in other books. We hope that these books will be useful to native Spanish speakers who preach as well as to native English speakers who find they must preach in Spanish.

The glorious heights of devotion and knowledge are revealed here in this little book, and we are assured that the identical experience and realization are available to all.

"Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to us by the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son."With these words, the writer of Hebrews draws us into one of the most profound and astonishing books in all of Holy Scripture. Angels, devils, signs and wonders, solemn warnings, the bodies of the defiant fallen in the wilderness, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God, a new high priest arising after the order of Melchizedek, the two unchangeable things by which God swears His faithfulness to us, the fulfillment of the pattern shown to Moses on Mount Sinai, a new Covenant written on our hearts, a new and living Way that fulfills the shadow of the Law, the dazzling array of those who by faith have conquered, our slow but sure approach to Mount Zion and the City of the consuming fire of the Living God; and, lifted high above all of these, the person and work of Jesus Christ, Who is the same yesterday, today and forever.The Most Holy Place is a daily prayer meditation and OT/NT Biblical synthesis based on the book of Hebrews, verse by verse, Monday through Saturday for fifty-two weeks. It is intended to be an aid to consistent and continuing reflection on the finished work of Jesus applied by the Holy Spirit in your life. May the Lord through this book continue to equip you with everything good that you may do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to Whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.Jeremy D. VoganStaunton, Virginia

Drawing on Jesus's example in the Gospel of Mark, this book offers an in-depth exploration of the nature of discipleship. A tool to help readers draw close to Jesus, it presents discipleship as a way of life centred on the journey back to God - a journey that integrates the quest for salvation, wholeness, and human fulfilment. Ultimately, the invitation to discipleship is an invitation to live in obedience to God and commitment to our fellow human beings, as Christ calls his followers not only to their own transformation but to participate in the transformation of others.At a time when secular culture is rediscovering the benefits of discipleship, this book invites readers into a powerful experience of identity formation based on the values of Christ and his kingdom.

These daily studies are generally divided into those occurrences found in the Old Testament and those found in the New Testament. Within that divide, related names are sometimes grouped together, and at other times the names are treated in alphabetical order. In a few instances, a single passage of Scripture may include multiple names, epithets and/or descriptions of God, and these are treated together in sequence. It would be impossible to be absolutely consistent apart from a pure alphabetical order or in order of first mention in the Bible, but those approaches seemed overly arbitrary. Occasionally these meditations have drawn from outside sources. Where that happens, we have given appropriate citations. At times abbreviations helped us with space management. For example, TWOT stands for the "Theological Word Book of the Old Testament" by R.L. Harris, G. L. Archer Jr., B. K. Waltke (Eds), (Chicago: Moody Press). The usual abbreviations of English versions are used, for example, NASB (which is the default version used in these meditations), NIV, ESV, etc. Most readers should be familiar with these. Also, another convention adopted for the sake of space is referring to the Old Testament and the New Testament as "OT" and the "NT" respectively.

Do you long to see the power of God actively working in your life?What happened to the miracles and healings we read about in the Book of Acts?
