A Bible Commentary for Everyday
This is the one book of the New Testament where you really need a map! Acts follows the travels of the apostles as they spread the gospel throughout the Mediterranean, weaving together the geographical journeys with the internal journeys of faith experienced by those travelling The Way. As we read, we share with the first Christians the unfolding excitement of the birth of the church, beginning in a tiny upper room and spreading into every corner of the world.
Galatians
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free,' so why do many Christians live in spiritual bondage?

By Eleanor Zuercher
Bible Journeys Holiday Club contains a five-session thematic holiday club programme for small churches, which could equally be used as a series of one-off activity days. The material is ideal for welcoming children into the life of a rural church using minimal resources. All the ideas and insights are from a rural perspective and rooted in the particular challenges found in rural situations - although many of the circumstances encountered would equally apply in the urban context. The five two-hour sessions contain a wealth of off-the-peg ideas exploring the Bible journeys made by Noah, Moses, Jonah and Paul, as well as our own experience of travelling the Christian journey together.
The Bible may be the bestselling book in the world, but reading it - let alone understanding and applying it to daily life - can be a daunting prospect even for people who feel they are some way along the road of Christian discipleship. Where do we start? How do we work out its relevance to us? If we feel we know it quite well already, how can we go further in exploring its riches? This highly accessible book sets out straightforward and helpful strategies for those who are completely new to Bible reading, which can also benefit those who have begun to develop a Bible-reading habit and want to broaden and deepen their understanding. Step by step, Michael Green explains how to enjoy the Bible (and avoid feeling bored by it!), how to read it by ourselves and how to benefit from discussing it with others, and how we in turn can start to share its teaching with new Christians.
Learn much that is relevant to your life from over 100 lesser-known Old Testament characters. Who exactly was Michal? What did Korah do? What can you remember about Achan?

Why can't I just be a Christian? Parakeets make delightful pets. We cage them or clip their wings to keep them where we want them. Scot McKnight contends that many, conservatives and liberals alike, attempt the same thing with the Bible. We all try to tame it. McKnight's "The Blue Parakeet" has emerged at the perfect time to cool the flames of a world on fire with contention and controversy. It calls Christians to a way to read the Bible that leads beyond old debates and denominational battles. It calls Christians to stop taming the Bible and to let it speak anew for a new generation.In his books "The Jesus Creed" and "Embracing Grace", Scot McKnight established himself as one of America's finest Christian thinkers, an author to be reckoned with. In "The Blue Parakeet", McKnight again touches the hearts and minds of today's Christians, this time challenging them to rethink how to read the Bible, not just to puzzle it together into some systematic theology but to see it as a Story that we're summoned to enter and to carry forward in our day. In his own inimitable style, McKnight sets traditional and liberal Christianity on its ear, leaving readers equipped, encouraged, and emboldened to be the people of faith they long to be.

David and Goliath Revisited
Confidence lies at the heart of society, determining the success or failure of the economy, the government, companies, schools, churches and, of course, individuals. As Christians, we are called to proclaim our faith in God, but how can we build and maintain this confidence in an increasingly secularised culture where such faith is often seen as marginal, embarrassing or even downright dangerous? Using the story of David and Goliath, Andrew Watson takes a narrative theology approach to show how the Lord can indeed be our confidence, whatever the odds. He explores how God can develop a proper self-confidence within individuals and his Church, revealing the gospel through transforming words and transformed lives.

The Gospel According to Paul
Was St Paul a distorter of Jesus' original message, or a faithful follower? Over recent years some critics of Christianity have claimed that while Jesus was a gifted teacher and a man of unparalleled kindness, St Paul was the true founder of Christianity, which he based on a delusional mistake: the idea that Jesus was God. This theory has found its way into academia, churches, newspapers, and, most recently, novels. In Did St Paul Get Jesus Right? respected New Testament scholar David Wenham looks at the historical evidence for such claims. Comparing the life and message of Jesus with the writings of St Paul, he offers a thoughtful exploration of their relationship, concluding that far from imagining Christianity, Paul was the messenger of an inherited faith.

A set of five Bible studies designed to accompany our book Christianity, climate change and sustainable living by Nick Spencer and Robert White.
Becoming a liberated disciple
Jesus does not call us to a journey of guilt and failure, stuffy religion or a kind of churchy straitjacket. He calls us to a life of obedience, harmony, joy and peace. We become 'liberated disciples'. 'This book grounds discipleship in the life of the individual and the church, but sees its outworking as being in the world,' says the author.
A daily companion for discovering the riches of God's word
This devotional guide takes you through the New Testament and Psalms twice and the Old Testament once. Don Carson has written thought-provoking comments and reflections to accompany one of each day's scriptural passages.
A daily companion for discovering the riches of God's word
This companion volume to 'For the Love of God - Vol. 1' offers a perspective that places each reading into the larger framework of history and God's eternal plan, in order to deepen our understanding of his sovereignty and the unity and power of his Word.
Unleash the healing power of forgiveness
As imperfect people in an imperfect world we eventually confront in nearly every relationship the need to extend or receive forgiveness. But when the wounds run deep, forgiveness does not come easy. How can I forgive when the pain is so great? Does forgiving mean I have to forget the past? What if I choose not to forgive? As you dig into what the Bible has to say on this vital topic, you will encounter the depths of God's mercy and discover how choosing forgiveness can free you from a painful past and propel you toward being all that God intended you to be.

DVD
New Testament scholar and Dean of King’s College, London Richard Burridge takes us on a guided tour through the four Gospels, highlighting their distinctive characters.

The Bible has long served as the standard for Christian practice, yet believers still disagree on how biblical passages should be interpreted and applied. Only when readers fully understand the constructs that inform their process of moving from Scripture to theology---and those of others---can Christians fully evaluate teachings that claim to be 'biblical.' Here, scholars who affirm an inspired Bible, relevant and authoritative for every era, present models they consider most faithful to Scripture: - Walter C. Kaiser, Jr.: A Principlizing Model - Daniel M. Doriani: A Redemptive-Historical Model - Kevin J. Vanhoozer: A Drama-of-Redemption Model - William J. Webb: A Redemptive-Movement Model Each position also receives critiques from the proponents of the other views. Moreover, due to the far-reaching implications this topic holds for biblical studies, theology, and church teaching, this book includes three additional reflections by Christopher J. H. Wright, Mark L. Strauss, and Al Wolters on the theological and practical interpretation of biblical texts. Four Views on Moving beyond the Bible to Theology empowers readers to identify, evaluate, and refine their own approach to moving from the Bible to theology.

Celebrating our spiritual adoption
The key to our liberation as Christians is the biblical image of spiritual adoption. So often we continue to live as spiritual orphans, forgetting that thanks to the saving work of Jesus we have been made sons and daughters of God. From Orphans to Heirs explores this image of adoption, much neglected as a way of understanding our salvation, yet crucial in an age when so many people are searching for intimacy. Mark Stibbe also shares his own story of growing up as an adopted child and the insights his experiences gave him into the heart of God, our adopting Father.
How does God go about painting a portrait of a saint? His canvas is the heart of one who is redeemed. The colours that He puts on His palette are joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control. Each of these is needed if the portrait is to be a masterpiece. And these colours are not pastel shades; each one is deep and rich and vibrant.

Each of them has a scripture bit, which you read out and about somewhere in context, or an active outworking of the text.

A Bible Commentary for Everyday
Isaiah means different things to different people. Cited in the New Testament more than any other Old Testament book, it encapsulates prophecies of judgement, restoration, deliverance, comfort, Messianic themes, and also narrative episodes. It speaks to its own historical context and foretells future circumstances. First and foremost, though, it is a testimony to God's enduring faithfulness to his wayward people. Isaiah's powerful combination of warning and hope is as relevant today as it was two-and-a-half millennia ago
