Naomi was grateful that Ruth refused to desert her because she loved Ruth and she recalled when Mahlon, her first son, had brought Ruth to the family home; she knew then that Ruth was a God-send and a girl with a heart of gold. Naomi questioned in her mind about the randomness of events: was it by chance or was it predestined that Ruth, a foreigner, should become part of Naomi’s family? Ah, it was all too deep for her. The beloved Ruth stumbled into the field of the wealthy landowner Boaz. He saw Ruth and she captured his heart.

This provocative audiobook invites you to create your own spiritual path based on often-suppressed ancient principles and contemporary practices.

Wild woman Danielle Dulsky takes you deep as she explores and embraces sacred feminine archetypes such as the mother goddess, the crone, and the maiden.

MOVING FROM A “BLUEPRINT HERMENEUTIC” TO A THEOLOGICAL ONE In this book, John Mark Hicks tells the story of his own hermeneutical journey in reading the Bible. Lovingly and graciously, he describes his transition from a “blueprint hermeneutic” to a theological one. Some suggest that moving away from a patternistic command-example-and-necessary-inference approach for understanding what God requires leaves no other alternative, or at least none that both respects biblical authority and seeks to obey the gospel of Jesus the Messiah. In Searching for the Pattern, John Mark offers just ...

If Jews and Christians both believe in the same God, why is there such division? Why is history littered with deathly accounts of this division, from the early Jewish persecution of Christians to the Crusades' slaughtering of Jews? The Lion of Judah unpacks the roots of this division, showing how jealousy, theology, the law, and the integration of Gentile believers into what was once a predominantly Jewish early church contributed to the schism. It then goes on to reveal how Jesus magnificently fulfilled every word in the Bible.

The Bible. To the faithful it represents the written record of God’s interaction with mankind. The unerring word of God from the creation of the Universe, to the resurrection of His son Jesus Christ. To the non-believer, the Bible represents little more than a collection fairy tales, fables and myths, designed solely to judge and restrict. Somewhere in the middle, the skeptic, believes portions of the Bible are truthful, but insist many elements remain unreliable and historically inaccurate. Is there any way to reconcile who is right? Is there a scientific method to prove, or disprove, ...

As the first scribe among men, the Prophet Enoch wrote the first history of the world ever recorded by man’s hands. Prior to this seventh generation from Adam, an angel in Heaven kept an account on the Heavenly Tablets. Many have mischaracterized the Bible today misunderstanding this fact. The only writing that predates Enoch is that of the Heavenly Tablets which accounts were provided to Moses on Mt. Sinai affirmed by Jubilees, Luke, and Paul. Enoch was the first world traveler escorted by the angels. He visited Heaven and was given much knowledge of the workings thereof including that ...

The story of Noah is one of the most captivating in all the Bible. Yet most people remember it mainly as a children's story found in picture books and heard in Sunday school classes. But this tragedy really took place - and widely overlooked is Jesus' stunning prophecy that the final days of planet Earth would be just as it was in the days of Noah. His point? That there would be striking parallels between Noah's day and the end times - with warnings of God's imminent judgment upon the world.

As many already know, the Bible is our source of spiritual nourishment to help us grow as Christians. However, it seems that many of us are guilty of not reading it. Instead, we rely on our preachers and Sunday School teachers to do it for us. The sad thing is that, in a world of false teaching (which is warned about in the Bible), we may be receiving some false information and accepting it as truth. Did you know?: 88% of American households have a copy of the Bible. 37% of Americans actually read it. In a world where morals are declining, the solutions to much of it's problems can be ...

Who wrote Great Expectations? That’s easy: Charles Dickens. Who’s the author of Beloved? Toni Morrison, of course. Now how about the Old Testament? You’d think for a book as widely known, studied, and distributed as the Bible, the question of authorship would have been sorted out by now. But the question is more complex (and fascinating) than it seems. Why? Because asking it is to challenge everything we might assume about the Bible’s identity as a book, about what “writing” and “authorship” really mean, and about how a written text could become sacred.

This Gospel of Thomas, inclusive of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, was found at the Nag Hammadi site in the Egyptian desert in December of 1945 along with some other books collectively called the “Nag Hammadi Library.” These texts were very fragmented with age and in a state of advanced decay. The original parchments now rest in the Coptic Museum in Cairo. They have been thought to have been written and dated from 100-245 A.D., according to some sources. Until today these sacred texts have only been able to be partially interpreted by scholars because no complete record of these texts ...

The book of Esther reads much like a fairy tale: a young Jewish queen, her wise older cousin, an evil royal servant, and a self-centered king. But Esther is no fairy tale.

Join Lydia Brownback as she digs deeper into the book of Esther and learn how God is faithful to keep his promises and deliver his people.
