New Covenant Life is an exposition of the great new covenant prophecy promised by God in Jeremiah. It challenges believers and churches to examine if they know and presently embrace new covenant truth. This book is about the glory, grandeur, and majestic New Covenant God made with his people and how believers can live out the new covenant.

Many believe Jesus taught little about the Church during his earthly ministry. However, this is not entirely true. While the word "church" only appears a few times in the gospels, Jesus taught much about what life together would be like after his redeeming death and glorious resurrection. Many of the parables provide a beautiful glimpse into this new way of life. Perhaps none says more about church life than the parable of the Good Shepherd found in the tenth chapter of John. In this new book, Neil Silverberg deals extensively with this parable drawing on the rich history of the Old Testament account of the relationship between Jehovah and his sheep (Psalm 23), Jesus uses this story to illustrate what life with him and other sheep would look like in the new covenant age. As the great Shepherd, he had come to take the sheep out of the fold of Judaism and bring them into the freedom and liberty of true church life. The application couldn't be clearer. Many modern churches are much like ancient folds that hold people in and restrict them from experiencing all that God desired for the new covenant community. Today people everywhere hunger for a real experience of the church. As they come alive to the grace of the Gospel, they are also seeking a simpler expression of life together and kingdom reality. This new work will definitely serve to shed much light on the glorious freedom that God intended all his people to experience together in the church.

Passion for God must include a passion for truth as well! For Truth's Sake: Restoring a Passion for Truth to the People of God is a passionate plea for a restoration of biblical authority in the church today. It reminds us, that while experiencing God is an important aspect of Christian living, experience itself can never take the place of a faith solidly rooted in Scripture and love for the truth. In this new work, Neil Silverberg carefully examines the roots of the belief popular today: that in the pursuit of authentic Christian living, one must choose between passion for God Himself and passion for truth. While not neglecting the validity of spiritual experiences, this book provides practical help in the task of restoring those components that would guarantee a restoration of passion for truth in the body of Christ. Silverberg balances well the theology which fuels passion for truth with practical guidelines for the maintenance of spiritual passion in our lives.

A Comprehensive Study Written About Jewish Roots and Christian Believers Rapidly growing worldwide, the Hebrew Roots Movement promises to help believers (especially non-Jewish believers) discover the Hebrew (Jewish) roots of their faith. However, while promising to bring followers to their Jewish roots, they instead bring them into Old Testament law-keeping and rabbinic tradition. This denies the truth of the gospel and its life-giving power to set captives free. The fifth book written by Bible teacher Neil Silverberg, Shadows and Substance, carefully examines this movement in both its theological and practical aspects covering such topics as: - Did Emperor Constantine make changes to the Hebrew roots of the faith? - What did the Jerusalem Conference establish regarding believers and the Law? - Does God expect believers to keep the Sabbath and the Hebrew feasts? - What is the difference between reconciliation to Old Testament Hebraic roots of the faith and those of rabbinic Judaism? The end result is not only a helpful guide to understanding the Hebrew Roots Movement but also a powerful unfolding of the gospel of grace to keep believers free from any form of legalism. This book was written for three audiences: those already deeply involved in the Movement, those interested in learning about the Jewish roots of their faith, and leaders who are charged with the responsibility of protecting God's people from error.
