As a collection of 66 books spanning thousands of years, the Bible can be daunting in size and scope. In The Heart of It All, the Canterbury Press Lent book for 2020, Samuel Wells simplifies the Bible's complexity and presents the entire sweep of its narrative in eighteen key themes.

Although its contents range from history to poetry, law, narrative, letters and even apocalyptic literature, at the Bible's heart are relationships between God, creation, Jesus, the Church, the Spirit and the Kingdom. Samuel Wells argues that this provides a lens through which the whole Bible can be understood.

Rooted in the best of contemporary biblical theology and scholarship, The Heart of It All will deepen understanding of the Bible and increase confidence in reading it. It includes questions for reflection, making this an ideal resource for Lent groups as well as for individual reading.

I don't think it is enough appreciated how much an outdoor book the Bible is, wrote Wendell Berry, and author Daniel Cooperrider illustrates his point with beautiful narrative--like a stroll through the woods.

Speak with the Earth analyzes the Bible's treatment of nature and intersperses this analysis with the author's own reflections on experiences in nature. Organized in sections touching on the four elements, the book engages with the multifaceted relationship between the Bible and nature through various media, including art, theology, the natural sciences, history, and lived experience. A timely work on the gift of the Earth that makes a strong case for environmental conservation as a cornerstone of religious life.

The unmerited blessings of God are a result of His grace. As believers, we are His children, able to receive all His promises. Your inheritance as a believer contains blessings and gifts made possible only by God. God's Greatest Bible Promises of Blessing for Your Life presents over one hundred verses that share a multitude of blessings from God. We are available to receive spiritual, personal, physical, future, and material blessings from God. Some blessings may be received unconditionally; others may be the result of God-appointed changes in our lives. Either way, His blessings are proof of His faithfulness to His children. Encounter newfound hope, joy, and encouragement through the reading of these verses.

Too often when we come to the Bible, questions make us uncomfortable. But questions are often a good thing. When we stop viewing the Bible through the lens of our own agendas and ask the questions the Bible is asking, something extraordinary happens. We form a new and deeper way of thinking about Scripture and understanding the Bible. As we do, we move further into the depths and mystery of God.

Asking Better Questions of the Bible is a journey into the original conversation of the inspired Text. In it, Marty Solomon (a host of The BEMA Podcast and the founder of the BEMA Discipleship ministry, a branch of Impact Campus Ministries) explores all the different portions of Scripture, examining how each is unique in structure and intent.

When we ask the questions the Bible is asking, we will

• understand the ancient Near Eastern perspective of words, numbers, and core principles like eternal life, truth, sin, and faith;
• recognize the literary devices and the reclamation of stories used in the Torah;
• read the historical books both as sources of inspiration and as cautionary tales;
• interpret the distinct genres in wisdom literature, such as psalms and proverbs;
• decipher the unique elements of prophetic literature;
• perceive the subversive nature of the Gospel accounts; and
• view the New Testament letters as inspired, authoritative interpretation of the story of God.

God can be trusted with our doubts and invites us to question. Let Asking Better Questions of the Bible show you a better way forward for interpreting Scripture.

Have you ever wanted to get an understanding of the entire Bible for yourself or to teach the Bible to your children? Many Christians hope to have this understanding, but for whatever reason, it can be too overwhelming to read the Bible completely.

In this book you will learn principles that will change your Economics by the teaching of Jesus on Seedenomics. In the four synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John Jesus taught forty three parables. Twenty seven of these parables teach how your seed into God's work, increases your harvest in your work.

Do you long for genuine relationships where you can know others and be known by them? Do you desire more than just gathering in the same space with others without any real connection? Yet, simultaneously, do you find yourself occasionally pushing back when someone gets too close? Why do you think you have that longing, and why do you think deep-abiding relationships are such a struggle to find and maintain? In this book, Pastor Neal Ledbetter makes the case that the gospel of Jesus Christ gives us answers. In the gospel, we are offered the endless treasure of Jesus and the never-ending, overflowing supply of treasures found in him. One of the rare jewels that comes with a new identity in Christ is a new gospel community, kingdom-family, and people to which we belong and in which we can know and be known. Paul calls it our inheritance in the saints (Eph 1:18), our citizenship with the saints, and our membership among the household of God (Eph 2:19-22). This new gospel community and kingdom-family is simply too important and too wonderful a treasure to ignore, avoid, or treat as unnecessary, unimportant, or secondary to our lives. This study will explore the extraordinary gift we have been given in gospel community. We'll see how the gospel transforms us individually and simultaneously forms us into a new people. We'll survey how we are intended to live together and the only sustaining motive and power for doing so. And finally, we'll examine several characteristics necessary to experience the rare jewel of gospel community.

Through Bible readings, reflections and stories from A Rocha's global conservation efforts, discover how the cross transforms not just our own individual connection with Jesus, but also our relationships with each other and our world.

At the core of every man's true purpose and lasting success is a singular pursuit: seeking the heart of God. This practical, easy-to-use devotional equips men--in just a few minutes each day--to pursue God and build a life-changing relationship with him.

Every man yearns for a life of meaning and purpose. Every man wants to use his strengths and abilities to achieve something that matters. But no pursuit compares with seeking--and finding--God himself. And yet, many Christians struggle to find the time and resources to connect meaningfully with God in this age of busyness and distraction.

This devotional is here to help. In this accessible devotional, popular Bible teacher and YouTuber Daniel Maritz equips men with the tools they need to start their day right. Each daily reading combines a Bible passage with a short devotional that speaks to the issues and questions men face, providing spiritual strength, encouragement, and inspiration. And the application section features prayer prompts, reflection questions, or action items to bring focus and purpose to each day.

Maritz makes it simple and straightforward to develop the vital habits of

• hearing from God through scripture by providing clear, accessible teachings on some of the most powerful and meaningful passages of the Bible;
• connecting with God at a deeper level through prayer;
• overcoming distractions to prioritize a closer walk with Jesus; and
• abiding in Christ to produce the fruit of the Spirit at all times.

Maritz reminds men that of all the things they could be pursuing--success, status, power, relationships, or any number of worldly goods--only one pursuit truly matters: becoming a spiritual man of God. Only through walking with God daily, in both the good and the difficult times, can men discover their true joy and purpose.

A short reading for every day.

Spurgeon wrote this selection of readings to encourage believers to enter into the full provision that their relationship to Jesus entitled them to realise, on a daily basis.

He explains we have to present the promises of Scripture to God in prayer and faith, anticipating that he will honour what he has said.

Each day's devotion therefore begins with a verse of scripture and is followed by a brief exposition to exhort and encourage believers to continue walking with God.

Dated from 1st January to 31st December, and drawing on verses from throughout the Bible, Spurgeon assures readers of the necessity and relevance of God's word for each and every day.

Based on the original edition. First published in the US in the 1940s.

Through the study and application of mental laws, you can find the way to health, harmony, peace, and prosperity. Scientific prayer is the practice of the presence of God.
