Unlocking the Old Testament
In this introductory study, Dr. Yohanna Katanacho brings the Old Testament into harmonious dialogue with the New Testament and twenty-first century perspectives of Arab Christians and cultures, particularly those from the Palestinian context.

A Way of Escape
CHANGING THE WAY BELIEVERSDO BATTLE WITH THE FLESHMost Christian authors and all builders of the higher-profile Bible-based purity programs insist that escape from a porn addiction is possible only with flesh-starving accountability. Not true! Relying only on the Holy Spirit, the Way of Escape Battle Plan shows readers how to: Use limbic weaponry to access and reprogram the brainDiffuse the flesh by "walking in the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16)Initiate regular intimacy with the Spirit, resulting in: Dramatic drops in both the number and strength of "incomings"Mind renewal without flesh-starving accountabilityThe still-struggling now have another option. The still-struggling now have fresh hope for discovering God's promised way of escape (I Corinthians 10:13). A way that-because it is wholly Spirit-powered-does not require enlisting the aid of a flesh-starving accountability partner or group. Truly, a game-changer!What Others Say About This Book: In a culture where temptation is only a click away, Wiley Graf offers more than just another "try harder" strategy-he lays out a Spirit-powered way of escape. What I appreciate most about this book is that it's both honest and hopeful. Wiley writes with the vulnerability of someone who has been in the fight, but also with the conviction that freedom is possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. This resource is biblical, practical, and deeply needed for anyone longing to walk in purity. While Wiley affirms the biblical mandate for accountability and the blessings of community, he writes here with a specific focus on the wounded believer struggling in the isolated prisons of shame and fear. In that way, "A Way of Escape" can be seen as a precursor to the fuller joy of participation within the Family of God. And while not every generation-such as millennials who may resonate more with the Passion Worship movement-will connect with his specific musical suggestions, the principles he lays out are universally applicable. I gladly commend this book to believers who are weary of shame and ready to discover the life-giving freedom God promises.-Jimmy Carter, Groups & Care Pastor, Immanuel Baptist ChurchAbout the Author: AAA-Rated (Academic, Athlete, Author). Academically, Dr. Graf earned his PhD in civil engineering from the University of Akron. Athletically, he pitched on the Zips baseball team, and is a member of the Barberton (OH) Sports Hall of Fame. But all pales in comparison to his latest accomplishment. Author Graf has used his knowledge of God's Word, and Spirit-enabled triumphs over the flesh, to break new ground in the Bible-based treatment of porn addictions. Dr. Graf and his wife Susan currently reside in Central Kentucky.

When Hope Breaks
What do you do when the dream God placed in your heart becomes the very source of your deepest grief?When Hope Breaks: Finding Faith in the Depths of Infertility Grief is a raw and deeply personal journey through the silent heartbreak of infertility - a pain often carried behind brave smiles and quiet prayers.This is not a story filled with clich矇s or easy spiritual answers. It is a story of empty ultrasound rooms, pregnancy tests that never change, the battle with Endometriosis and the ache of waiting when everyone else seems to be moving forward. It's about wrestling with faith when God feels distant, and learning to cling to Him when hope feels shattered.With honesty, vulnerability, and moments of gentle humor, Cindy Remo Tan opens the door to the emotions many women feel but rarely say out loud - jealousy, guilt, anger, shame, and the exhausting cycle of hope and disappointment. She also explores the complex beauty of adoption, where joy and grief can live side by side, and motherhood arrives in a way both different and deeply sacred.Through every chapter, this book offers a companion for the journey - not to fix the pain, but to sit in it with you. It reminds readers that faith does not require pretending to be okay, and that grief and trust in God can coexist.For women walking through infertility, for those who love them, and for anyone whose prayers have felt unanswered, this book whispers a powerful truth: You are not invisible.You are not forgotten.And even when hope breaks, God is still working.Because sometimes, the most beautiful stories are written in the middle of the waiting.

Neither Tyrants nor Tokens
The conversation about men and women in the church has become a minefield. Some have seen male leadership distorted into domination. Others have watched men go missing in action, leaving wives and families to drift. And in the middle of it all, many women with real gifts feel either sidelined or forced into a fight they never asked for.Neither Tyrants nor Tokens was born out of pastoral necessity, shaped by years of frontline conversations with ordinary Christians who simply want to know what Scripture teaches and how to live it with wisdom and grace. Jeff Kennedy offers a pastoral, Bible-centered vision for men and women in the home and the church that refuses the false choices so common today: harsh control or passive absence, token inclusion or a flattening of biblical distinctions.This book argues for a complementarian framework that is firm in conviction and careful in tone. It calls men to Christlike, cross-shaped leadership and responsibility in marriage and family life. It honors women as indispensable co-laborers in the mission of the church, encouraging meaningful service and ministry without treating women as props, threats, or afterthoughts. And it makes a clear case for male headship in the home and qualified male eldership in the gathered church, not as privilege, but as a pattern of humble responsibility under the lordship of Christ.
Feeding Jesus' Sheep
More than ever, the church needs believers to step into the God-ordained servant roles Jesus has called and commissioned us to fill. In this rapidly changing world, one thing remains constant: Jesus' people need tending. The hungry and hurting, the new believer, and the seasoned saint all yearn for godly people like you and me to lead them.As Jesus performed one of his most impactful miracles-providing food for five thousand hungry people-he also demonstrated ten principles for feeding others spiritually. These timeless truths trained the Twelve who followed him closely, and today they serve as a trellis to support and equip us to serve and lead others effectively. As we uncover and apply these principles, the Holy Spirit will empower us to step out in faith, overcome hesitations and fears, and dance in victory.Friend, the God of the universe has called you to feed his sheep. Allow these pages filled with God's Word to encourage and embolden you to conquer all he has asked of you triumphantly. I am praying for you as you faithfully embark on Feeding Jesus' Sheep.

Instead, it is written for Christians who have not had years of theological training and just want to know what the passage is saying. With this aim, Edgar Stubbersfield simply focuses on the core elements and presents them in an easily readable style, with a strong emphasis on the historical context of the events Luke describes.

Broken but Not Forgotten
The Author, Minister Watkins has penned for us a testimony of being and broken and being put back together by the Master's Hand.

This is a true testimony that breaks your heart, makes you laugh, cry and sigh, but also see that God is real and that JESUS is the Savior of the world.
Faithfulness in a Shifting World
Faithfulness in a Shifting World is a verse-by-verse study of the book of Daniel that uncovers a message as urgent today as it was in the courts of Babylon. Daniel's world was marked by political upheaval, moral compromise, cultural hostility, and spiritual conflict. Yet through every chapter runs a steady conviction: God is sovereign over history, and faithfulness is never wasted.From fiery furnaces to lions' dens, from royal decrees to prophetic visions, it traces the rise and fall of empires while revealing the unseen spiritual realities that stand behind them. Daniel shows that earthly power is temporary, that prayer matters even when resisted, and that obedience on earth is bound to purposes far greater than human ambition.The closing chapters move beyond exile and persecution to resurrection and final deliverance. The book does not promise comfort without conflict. It promises something deeper: that God governs history, refines His people, and will bring all things to their appointed end.Clear, pastoral, and theologically grounded, this study is written for believers who feel the weight of cultural pressure and long to remain faithful in a shifting world.
Opening Brass Doors

The Mystic Code
Across cultures and centuries, strangers who never met told stories that look uncannily alike. Floods and fires, wounded heroes and wise crones, tricksters and sacred mountains keep reappearing wherever humans gather to speak of the unseen. This book invites readers to treat those echoes as world mythology patterns rather than coincidences, and to hear their own lives differently as a result. Drawing together archetypes and symbols, depth psychology and comparative religion book insights, the author decodes recurring motifs as a kind of spiritual symbolism guide. Myths are not treated as childish superstition, nor as rigid dogma, but as maps of the collective unconscious myths have always expressed. By moving between mythology and psychology, personal stories and global traditions, the chapters help readers see how sacred stories meaning has quietly shaped their choices, loyalties and longings. This is a book for thoughtful seekers, spiritually curious sceptics and anyone who senses that universal mythic themes are still alive beneath modern headlines. It offers a grounded introduction to jungian archetype reading and a practical feel for spiritual grammar myth without jargon. Readers are shown how to spot recurring patterns in relationships, work and faith, and how to begin rewriting their own script with more awareness. The result is not a new belief system but a clearer, kinder lens through which to read the stories we inherit and the futures we are helping to imagine.
The Mystery of Herr Rudolf Schultz
Carl Fischer, the last survivor from the F羹hrerbunker, is dying. When his old friend Joseph Blum visits him in his final days, he is entrusted with Carl's many journals - which expose the truth about the fate of the most despised monster of the twentieth century, Adolf Hitler. Through Carl's eyes, the reader is drawn into those final days in Berlin, with harrowing details of life at the barricades, life in the F羹hrerbunker, and its aftermath. The real fate of Adolf Hitler, according to Carl's first-hand experience, flies in the face of accepted history. * The author worked for several years in West Berlin, where history was made, meeting survivors who watched it happen. Having witnessed the destruction of their city, many Berliners expressed doubts about the suicides in the bunker, and suggested various explanations of how Hitler could have escaped. This historical novel is a work of fiction, but it provides a compelling alternative account of Hitler's final fate.
Who Are They?

We see this throughout Scripture as we encounter ordinary men and women who served the Lord behind the scenes, seeking His glory rather than the world's applause. In this teaching series, Dr. Derek Thomas introduces us to lesser-known Bible characters whom God used to carry out His redemptive purposes. Knowing their stories can help us learn from their examples of faithfulness and treasure the truth that no one is insignificant to the Lord.Video Teaching Series Study Guide Features: Lesson ObjectivesMessage OutlineStudy QuestionsDiscussion QuestionsSuitable for individual or group study.
How Covenants Impact Your Life
In David's search for the true nature of God, he discovered His covenant-heart, and at the core of that covenant was an extraordinary loving-kindness (Hebrew word- hesed). God's covenant-love secured his victory over the giant Goliath, hid him and saved him from his enemies, and transported David from a shepherd to a king. Hesed was also the strong arm of God's covenant mercy that rescued David from the deep water of his many failures. The New Covenant, still embracing all of God's hesed, is His way of relating with His people today, offering us everything that David experienced and so much more that is GOOD. As Jim, the author of this book, explored the truth of the covenant-heart of God, he was alarmed to discover that the father of lies has designed BAD false covenants to hold God's people in bondage, and Jim realised that he himself was one of those prisoners.Then Jim found something even more UGLY. The whole population of a nation, both individually and collectively, can be ensnared in ungodly covenants, and again Jim found this to be true for himself and for his own nation of Ireland. This book is a journey of both the exploration of the covenant-heart of God and the discovery of the wonderful blessings for those living as His new covenant children. There will also be challenges in areas you may never have considered, discovery of hidden bondages that are hindering your life from ungodly covenants long forgotten.And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them through His word its deep, inner meaning. (Psalm 25:14 Amp)

The Divine Code
The Divine Code is a work of biblical analysis that examines the internal structure of the Bible as a unified literary and informational system. Rather than approaching Scripture through doctrine, devotion, or tradition, this book focuses on what can be directly observed within the text itself: patterns, symmetry, numerical coherence, and structural design that span books, authors, languages, and centuries.The analysis remains intentionally grounded. Claims are evaluated carefully, sources are cited, and speculative interpretations are avoided. Where numerical or structural features are discussed, they are treated as data points rather than mystical symbols. The emphasis is not on hidden messages, but on observable architecture, features that remain stable across manuscript traditions and translationsWritten for thoughtful readers with an interest in biblical studies, textual analysis, and the intellectual foundations of Christian belief, The Divine Code invites both believers and skeptics to examine the Bible not only as a religious document, but as a complex and coherent work whose internal order merits serious attention.
The Music of Creation
The Music of Creation examines important Biblical passages from the Hebrew Bible and re-translates them using the oldest of principles; teachings based on nature and its cyclical wisdoms.Hebrew is a sacred language. Sacred languages use power syllables which carry a vibrational element that we, as human beings, experience as meaningful and compelling. In many, if not most cultures, words with especially strong vibrational energy are used to name God, Divinity, or Creator. Their spoken energy travels along vibrational pathways connecting us to that which is grander than ourselves. In this manner they resonate within our bodies as well as throughout heaven and the earth.In sections called "Experiencing the Vibrational Essences," there are Hebrew chants inspired by each thematic message. These are accompanied by mudras (hand/body positions) and mandalas (imageries) so each reader can build their own spiritual practice based on these ancient wisdoms.Chapter titles include "Joyful Noise," "Celebration of Trees," "A Study in Praise," and "Mystical Journeys."
1 and 2 Thessalonians
A. Andrew Das's 1-2 Thessalonians, informed by the best recent scholarship, offers a fresh translation and concise historical, literary, and theological commentary. The historical commentary traces the appropriation of these letters from ante-Nicene Christian authors through the early twentieth century, offering guidance for contemporary readers and faith communities. First Thessalonians, among Paul's earliest letters, targets a tight-knit community suffering persecution from "others." Former friends oppose their adoption of a foreign superstitio instead of time-tested religious devotion in a city enjoying close relations with the (divine) imperium. Thessalonian Christ-believers worship a "Savior" who apparently suffered defeat on a Roman cross. Some have died since Paul's departure, and yet, through apparent defeat, Christ won a decisive victory inaugurating the changing of ages. The Thessalonians eagerly anticipate Christ's return to judge the world. Those who have died will be among the first to celebrate his coming. So Paul expects the Thessalonians to busy themselves living accordingly. Second Thessalonians, a genuine letter by Paul, addresses a developing situation not long after the first letter: Some Thessalonian Christ-believers refuse to work because of the apparent "day of the Lord" and Christ's imminent return. Since the signs of the end are not fully evident, Paul calls them back to work and to endure persecution.

1, 2, 3 John
This unique study on 1, 2, 3 John addresses interpretation challenges that arise for people from Islamic contexts on the East African coast. Exploring questions regarding a relationship with God, the nature of incarnation, sin, sacrifice, forgiveness, the spirit world, and coming judgement, the research process included reader-centered sessions with women from the region, thus addressing the bigger questions of faith while speaking directly to the real-life issues they face. Filled with wisdom for those from the East African coast and beyond, each chapter includes stories from local people, biblical commentary, theological reflection, and practical insights. The authors' unique approach is rooted in current scholarship on the Midrashic exegesis of 1 John, wherein the narrative of Cain and Abel is the central motif. This homiletic framework, which allows deep engagement with Islamic contexts, is extended to 2 and 3 John.Windows on the Text is a ground-breaking Bible commentary series written by followers of Jesus in Muslim contexts. It develops biblical insight in deliberate conversation with the Qur'an, the Hadith, and local Islamic cultures. Confident that the Bible in its entirety speaks directly into Muslim contexts, it opens new windows into the holy word of God to equip and empower believers to live out their faith in loving service and clear communication within their communities.
