In Psalms for Trials: Meditations on Praying the Psalms by Lindsey Tollefson, we see that the psalms are not just pious words for the religious, but they are meant to be our prayers for every trial we face, just as they have been a comfort for generations of Christians before us, including King David and the Lord Jesus. The psalms allow us to pour ourselves out in prayer to God and to receive the comfort that comes from the promises found in his word.

In this collection of short stories, you will find a little bit of everything. Some are nonfiction, based on events that actually happened; some are fiction; and one of the stories is actually sort of a combination of fiction and nonfiction. The stories cover a wide genre range. There are a couple of stories set in Biblical times; adventures I had in my youth (it’s a wonder I’m still alive); a gripping story of how my father-in-law was rescued from the jaws of death; one children’s story I wrote for my grandkids; and a fictional story about two strangers, who are experiencing ...

This book is a collection of poetry by the author. Most of the poems are based on the Bible and Christianity. They are both humorous and serious. They are satirical and whimsical. Just not all at once! The author works in several common rhyme schemes. Where biblical texts are referred to these are listed below the title of each poem.

It's almost second nature for Christians to call God Father. Jesus taught his followers as much, although for them it was apparently a surprising practice. The worshiping community of the Old Testament used fatherly images for understanding God's character and actions, but "Father" was not a common way for believers to address God. In Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Christopher Wright explores in depth the images that pervade the biblical narratives, psalms, and prophetic texts of the Old Testament.

Drawing from personal experience, honest questions, and deep study, Demby explores how Job’s trials reveal a God who welcomes doubt, honors authenticity, and walks with us through pain—not to condemn, but to restore.

Jonathan Roiz takes you on an easy to understand journey throughout the Old Testament to reveal how the Word of God is not two separate books, but one book, with one theme, Jesus Christ. Christ is the creator of all things, Jesus is the sustainer of all things and in Revelation Jesus is the restoration of all things. When Jesus said that He is in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms or the...
