Discover how true faith can leave a lasting legacy with a poignant and personal look into the lives of some of the Bible's most faithful women.
Come and take a deeper look at women who were ordinary, common, and in some cases even ostracized and rejected by society, yet each was made extraordinary by her life-changing encounter with God.
In Twelve Extraordinary Women, bestselling author and Bible teacher John MacArthur shows you that the God to whom they were so faithful is the same God who continues to mold and guide you today.
As you meet these women in Scripture and get to know more about their lives and characters, they will challenge you, motivate you, encourage you, and inspire you with love for the God whom they trusted, served, and loved, teaching you that:
Some of the women you'll come to know include:
From Eve to the Samaritan Woman, these twelve women each serve as reminders of both our frailty and our potential. Together, they all point us to Christ and His grace.
Discover how God used ordinary men, Jesus's twelve chosen disciples, to change the world, and how He can accomplish the same thing through you.
You don't have to be perfect to do God's work. Look no further than the twelve disciples, whose many weaknesses are forever preserved throughout the pages of the New Testament. Join bestselling author John MacArthur in Twelve Ordinary Men as he draws principles from Christ's careful, hands-on training of the original disciples for today's modern disciple, you!
Jesus chose ordinary men--fishermen, tax collectors, political zealots--and turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from people who were otherwise unremarkable. The twelve disciples weren't the stained-glass saints we imagine. On the contrary, they were truly human, all too prone to mistakes, misstatements, wrong attitudes, lapses of faith, and bitter failure. Simply put, they were flawed people, just like us. But under Jesus' teaching and touch, they became a force that forever changed the world.
MacArthur takes you into the inner circle of the disciples--their selection, their training, their personalities, and their incredible impact. As MacArthur took a closer look at the lives of the twelve disciples, he found himself asking difficult questions along the way, including:
In Twelve Ordinary Men, you'll learn that disciples are living proof that God's strength is made perfect in weakness. As you get to know the men who walked with Jesus, you'll see that if he can accomplish his purposes through them, he can do the same through you.
Throughout the ages, Psalms has retained its original and primary purpose: to engender the fitting praise and worship of God. The essential idea of Psalms is living real life in the real world. Without denying the pain of life, the people of God are to live joyfully and dependently on the person and promises of God.
In the twelve studies within, join John MacArthur to see the Psalms as a broad array of theology, practically couched in day-to-day reality. The sinfulness of man is documented concretely but also the sovereignty of God is everywhere recognizable. By working through this study, you, like the people of Israel, will learn that though life often seems to be out of control, all events and situations are to be understood in the light of divine providence as being right on course according to God's timetable.

The MacArthur Old Testament Commentary Series
Explains the Scripture word by word
Is true to the approach of expository preaching
Is based on thorough exegesis in the original languages
Presents the meaning and theology of the text with accuracy, precision, and clarity
This volume of the MacArthur Old Testament Commentary Series (MOTC) explains the prophetic book of Zechariah. Designed to aid the preacher, this commentary is also intended to be read and applied by every believer for personal edification, blessing, and joy.
No eschatology is complete or true which does not embrace the prophecy of Zechariah. Written to comfort Israel after the remnant's return from Babylon, Zechariah's message assured the Israelites that the Lord had not abandoned His people.
Filled with visions, prophecies, signs, and vivid imagery, this revelation traces the flow of history to its climax when Christ will reign over the earth from His throne in Jerusalem. Zechariah predicted the coming of Alexander the Great, the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, the tyranny of the Antichrist, the battle of Armageddon, and the millennial reign of Christ.
The Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the primary figure in Zechariah's revelation. Zechariah predicted Christ's entry into Jerusalem on a donkey, His betrayal for thirty pieces of silver, and His sacrificial death. Zechariah also revealed Christ's future return to the Mount of Olives and the establishment of His kingdom over the earth. At that time, Israel will turn to God, and the Lord will say, They are My people, and Israel will respond, Yahweh is my God (Zech 13:9); and so all Israel will be saved (Rom 11:26).
History will then reach its climactic point and Yahweh will be king over all the earth; in that day Yahweh will be the only one, and His name one (Zech 14:9).
What Others are Saying About the MacArthur Old Testament Commentary Series
God regenerates and sanctifies us through His Word, and we can be thankful for this commentary series where the words of Scripture are carefully studied and explained. Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Associate Dean of the School of Theology The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary I've read through the Bible twenty times, and I always heave a sigh when I arrive at Zechariah. I haven't quite found a commentary that can adequately explain its intriguing visions, that flying scroll, or that strange woman in a basket. That is why I'm so excited about John MacArthur's new commentary on this extraordinary book. Dr. MacArthur takes great pains to explain the prophet's visions and symbols, helping us see that Zechariah's peculiar actions were his way of drawing God's people into his timely message. Thank you, Pastor John, for giving us an easy-to-read yet thorough explanation of the amazing book of Zechariah. Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center

Jesus was a master storyteller, and the parables He told were ingeniously simple word pictures. Some of them were no more than fleeting remarks about commonplace incidents, objects, or persons. In fact, the most compact of all Jesus' short stories does not even fill a complete verse of Scripture. Yet the all were filled with profound spiritual lessons that He wanted His listeners to hear and understand. Jesus told these parables so they would clearly comprehend His message about the kingdom of God and the reason He had come to earth.
In the Parables Workbook, master expositor and Bible commentator John MacArthur draws on his years spent studying and explaining the Word of God to guide readers through some of the most famous and influential short stories that Jesus told. Each session contains the following:

The war for the hearts and minds of our children is on, and John MacArthur's new book will show you where the strategic battles are being fought and how to engage biblically. Kirk Cameron - Husband, Father, Actor, Filmmaker
In The War on Children, bestselling author, John MacArthur, offers the tools needed to understand the enemy's battle plan and be ready for the next assault. As God's people, we need to:
Teach our children God's Word
Train them in righteousness
Give them wise and biblically based guidance
And above all, give them our extravagant love
Every day, on a multitude of battlefronts, Satan is deploying weapons of mass corruption against our children. Modern culture has been systematically designed with an agenda that is aggressively anti-God, anti-Christ, and anti-Scripture, intended to corrupt and consume young, impressionable hearts and minds.
We are in the middle of a dangerous ideological conflict with eternity at stake. Christian parents cannot simply float passively along with the drift of our culture. We need to:
Be aware of the threats this world poses to our children
Understand the enemy's battle plan and be ready for the next assault
What others are saying about The War on Children
Our culture is engaged in a war for our children's souls. John MacArthur not only gives a wake-up call to parents but offers practical guides to help them safeguard their young ones. Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center

Joel R. Beeke, Chancellor and Professor of Homiletics & Systematic Theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary

Praise for The Vanishing Conscience:
. . . a wake-up call and an alarm to jolt the sleeping church. Not all will like it, but all should read it. In this day of morality by majority, self-centered ministry, and twilight-zone theology, a clear word like this is long overdue.--Dr. Adrian Rogers, Pastor, Bellevue Baptist Church
. . . a clear and prophetic word that we must hear and heed. --Dr. Joseph M. Stowell, President, Moody Bible Institute
With the clarion call of a prophet, MacArthur points us back to something we have forgotten: the value and importance of a clean conscience. --Greg Laurie, Senior Pastor, Harvest Christian Fellowship
The pieces are in place. The curtain rises for the final act. God is about to die.
An unprecedented conspiracy of injustice, cruelty, and religious and political interests sentenced a man guilty of no crimes to the most barbaric method of execution ever devised. The victim was no mere man. Jesus was God in the flesh. The Creator of life died.
How did such a thing come to be? Who were the onlookers, the players, the fakes, frauds, and heroes? What was it like in the Upper Room that night, in the shadows of Gethsemane, or in the Praetorium awaiting Pilate's verdict? What is the meaning of the last words Jesus uttered as He gasped for breath on the cross? What if all the facts you now so well could come alive in your ind and heart as a living story, rather than as a 2000-year-old ancient account?
By piecing together the narrative from the perspective of the participants, John MacArthur invites you to relive the most awesome injustice in the history of man, the unparalleled triumph of the sovereignty of God, and the passion of Christ.
From Bible teacher John MacArthur, a revelatory exploration of what the apostle Paul actually taught about the Good News of Jesus.
The apostle Paul penned a number of very concise, focused passages in his letters to the early church that summarize the gospel message in just a few well-chosen words. Each of these key texts has a unique emphasis highlighting some essential aspect of the Good News of Jesus Christ. The chapters in this revelatory new book closely examine those vital gospel texts, one verse at a time.
John MacArthur, host of the popular media ministry Grace to You, tackles such questions as:
As always, the answers John MacArthur gives are clear, compelling, well-reasoned, easy to grasp, and above all, thoroughly biblical. The Gospel According to Paul is written in a style that is easily accessible to lay people, including those who know very little about the Bible, while being of great value to seasoned pastors and experienced ministers.
The Gospel According to Paul is the third in a series of books on the gospel by John MacArthur including - The Gospel According to Jesus and The Gospel According to the Apostles. The Gospel According to Paul is also available in Spanish, Evangelio según Pablo.
During the time of the divided kingdom, both the nation of Israel in the north and Judah in the south witnessed great miracles and great failures as their kings vacillated between serving God and following pagan practices.
As God led the people through prophets such as Elisha, the clock on the nation's self-rule began to tick down. For to the east, the powerful kingdom of Assyria was threatening to conquer all the people in the land of Canaan. It was a time of decision: would God's people serve Him or divide their loyalties?
In this study, pastor John MacArthur will guide you through an in-depth look at this historical period, beginning with the godly reign of Jehoshaphat in Judah, continuing through the ministry of the prophet Elijah, and concluding with the fall of both kingdoms.
Studies include close-up examinations of Elisha, Naaman, Hezekiah, Josiah, and others, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes such as Obeying God in Every Situation and Renewing God's Word in Our Hearts.

Discover how the apostles shared the truths of salvation in the early church and what that same Gospel means for the church today.
The apostles understood the Gospel as they learned from and personally lived alongside Jesus, and these lessons became the heart of their message to an unsaved world. But what does their perspective mean for modern Christians, and how can we read the Bible through their unique lens today?
In The Gospel According to the Apostles, Dr. John MacArthur examines some of the key passages from the Epistles and Acts that reveal how the apostles first shared the gospel and how they unfolded the truths of salvation to the early church.
With his characteristic compelling style, Dr. MacArthur doesn't shy away from answering some of the difficult questions Christians today are asking, including:
The Gospel According to the Apostles is a book for every Christian who wants to experience, understand, and fall in love with the same gospel that Jesus preached.
Pastor John MacArthur will take you through the book of Hebrews, passage by passage, so that you can better understand the author's message, the cultural context, and the perfect sufficiency of Christ.
The early Jewish believers had come from a background of legalism and works. When God came to earth in human flesh as the New Covenant, these believers discovered the freedom they could have in Jesus and the relationship they could enjoy with Him. Yet in the midst of persecution and rejection, they were often tempted to hold on to the former symbols, rituals, and traditions grounded in the requirements of the Old Covenant.
The unknown author of Hebrews sought to address this problem by contrasting the Old and New Covenants, brilliantly showing that Christ is higher than any Old Testament character, priest, ritual, or sacrifice. Because of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, He is the perfect sacrifice and our own High Priest. And He has given all believers unfettered access to God!

The book of Revelation unveils Jesus Christ in his glory and victorious return. And yet no other New Testament book of the Bible poses more serious and difficult interpretative challenges.
John MacArthur will take you through the book, passage by passage, so that you can better understand everything from the historical context to the coming of Christ's Kingdom.
The apostle John wrote this letter to the churches in Asia Minor who were feeling the overwhelming effects of persecution from all sides. It was a reminder to them that God saw their hardships, cared about them, and would reward them for their faithfulness.
Through the use of vivid imagery, John writes Revelation to reveal the end of human history, the return of Christ, and the establishment of a new heaven and a new earth. John's message of hope in Revelation assures Christians that God is in sovereign control of all past, present, and future events. He encourages believers to trust that Jesus Christ will judge the lost and will rule in ultimate victory over all human and demonic opposition.

The Twelve Ordinary Men Workbook brings you face-to-face with Jesus' disciples as you've never seen them.
Who were these men?
They weren't saints. They weren't scholars. They weren't even religious sages. What is most amazing about the disciples is that Jesus even selected them at all. Among them--a handful of common fishermen, a hated tax collector, and an impulsive political zealot.
This this workbook, you'll put yourself in their shoes. You'll come to understand their doubts and hopes. And you'll hear the power of Jesus' words in a whole new way. The message is clear. If Christ can accomplish His purposes through the lives of common men like these, imagine what He has in store for you!
Based on John MacArthur's best-selling book Twelve Ordinary Men, this workbook is ideal for group or individual study, and includes:
