With vivid imagery, Luke invites us to trace the steps of Jesus as He journeys towards the cross, and as we do, we encounter a Saviour who defies expectations, boldly proclaiming and demonstrating the nearness of the Father's Kingdom to the lost and the least. Luke heralds the good news that is Jesus, and each day, you'll read a portion of this Gospel paired with a devotion designed to help you sink deep into the Word and reflect on the ministry of Christ and the nature of His Kingdom as you commit to follow wholeheartedly after Him. We recommend using this book in conjunction with the companion journal, "Journalling Through Luke" to get the most out of this study.To access the accompanying video content and participate in community discussion, email hello@thedevotedcollective.org for more details.Features:Forty devotionsJournalling promptsHand drawn bespoke illustrations

Literary Allusions in Esther: A Study on the Convergence of Intertexts and Narrative examines the robust intertextual nature of MT Esther. Its textual landscape is filled with a plethora of allusions to other texts scattered throughout the Old Testament canon. While these intertexts have often been identified individually, they have not always been considered a collective whole. By employing a new, eclectic method of exegetical analysis (¿Analogical Convergence¿), the author demonstrates one means by which these intertexts complement one another and converge with the authorial intention embedded into MT Esther.In Literary Allusions in Esther, Ron Lindo offers a nuanced and sophisticated engagement with the book of Esther. His survey of proposed ¿intertexts¿ in secondary literature is comprehensive yet accessible¿a significant resource for Esther scholarship. Lindös discussion of method helpfully recognizes the place of authorial intention in many treatments of ¿intertextuality¿ in biblical studies, and the links he proposes between Esther and Jeremiah providethe basis for a compelling new account of Esther¿s thrust as a story. Literary Allusions in Esther makes important contributions to the field, and should feature in further discussions of the story¿s shape and the extent to which it interacts with other texts from antiquity.¿¿John Screnock, Tutor in Old Testament, Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford That Esther is a work which is composed with allusion to other texts is now increasingly recognized. This work makes an important contribution by establishing a disciplined method for understanding this and how both the surface text and its interaction with other texts in the Old Testament contribute to its meaning. Scholars working on Esther will need to engage with this disciplined and careful work.¿¿David G. Firth, Old Testament Tutor, Trinity College Bristol

"Discover God's redemptive plan for humanity as you embark on a journey from garden to garden-from Eden to eternity. The Bible tells a singular and unified story. While it contains sixty-six individual books written over thousands of years, it reveals one unified message-the story of how God redeems humanity from sin and death and makes all things new. Scripture is God-breathed. Opening its pages, we discover who we are, why we are here, what happened to us, our eternal destiny, and how we live and breathe from day to day through God's redeeming love and His unconquerable grace. In Garden to Garden, readers discover how God moved through human history-from the garden of Eden to the promise of eternity-to restore us to His presence. Marian Jordan Ellis, the founder of This Redeemed Life Ministry, walks alongside readers as they journey through the Bible in an entirely fresh and unique way through this collection of short devotional readings that lead the reader through the story arc of God's great redemptive plan. Readers will come to understand that although the weeds of sin, shame, and blame grow wild in the human heart, our longing for Eden-our true home-always remains. A holy invitation to know and be known by the Living God, Garden to Garden will enhance your knowledge of God's Word, provide you with a greater understanding of how to flourish in His grace, and reveal how Jesus makes all things new! While echoes of Eden fill the human heart, Garden to Garden points us home, to abide in the glorious and beautiful garden distinguished by the Presence of God"--

This life is a prelude to our destiny in glory. We follow in the victory parade of the Lord Jesus: His life, death, resurrection, and destiny. A joyous eternity awaits and beckons us with expectant hope. We'll start our reflections on the journey each of us must take with its destination--"Longing for a Better Country", peruse themes populating our path home "Along the Way", before concluding with some reflections about our earthly exit "Into His Presence". Finishing and dying well is part and parcel of seeing life as a gift from God and part of an interwoven whole. The way we pass from life to death can be a wonderful legacy to those we leave behind.
