Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian communities, with a few exceptions, consider the canon of Scripture closed. There’s no process for adding or removing books from our Bibles. Even so, we end up creating our own canons, whether intentionally or unintentionally. There are certain texts that come up frequently in worship or in the youth room or in the children's Sunday school wing. And there are certain texts that we never read in worship or Sunday school. Perplexing Scriptures examines some of these passages. This study may raise more questions than it answers; but as you work through each session, you will begin to see how God’s love and grace are at work, even in the most troubling texts. Converge Bible Studies is a series of topical Bible studies based on the Common English Bible. Each title in the series consists of four studies on a common topic or theme. Converge can be used by small groups, classes, or individuals. Primary Scripture passages are included for ease of study, as are questions designed to encourage both personal reflection and group conversation. The topics and Scriptures in Converge come together to transform readers’ relationships with others, themselves, and God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In John 9, Jesus heals a man blind from birth. This is shocking. Even more: This miraculous healing is a microcosm of the whole Christian gospel. In merely seven verses of text, the contemplative Bible reader can see the fruit of the Holy Spirit’s work, putting the infinite Word of God into a mere handful of human words. In Christ the Lightgiver, Clifton Stringer explores the story of the gospel from creation to the fall, then from the incarnation to the mystery of Jesus' (and our) Passover to eternal life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disciples were fairly ordinary people. They had regular families, made their livelihoods in regular ways, and had typical and varied political leanings. But they met Jesus and started to live extraordinary lives. Because of their closeness to Jesus, we tend to think that the disciples lived lives with less sin than we live with. We imagine that Jesus’ love rubbed off on them so that they were also extraordinary humans. But the Gospels show us differently. They show us that Jesus’ close companions were as human as we are. And it is because we recognize the sins of the disciples as our own that we can relate to them so closely. They are our common sins.

Once you truly experience it, you become a different person, and the further you journey in your faith, the more you realize the role God’s grace has played in your life—even before you came to faith in Christ. In Encountering Grace, you’ll examine passages about God’s unmerited favor. You’ll learn more about receiving God’s grace as well as offering that grace to others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible Passages You've Always Wondered about--Explained What should we make of the Bible story about a talking donkey?

Other fascinating accounts include · The Finger on the Wall · "Lead Us Not into Temptation" · Jeremiah's Linen Underwear · "No One Knows the Day or the Hour" · The Battle for Moses' Body · Death at Communion In all, this book will help you be more confident about interpreting all of God's Word accurately.
