The Exodus story is your story.

The Israelites' liberation from Egypt and journey to the promised land is one the Bible's most compelling narratives. But the Exodus isn't just a long-ago Bible story. We each find ourselves enslaved: to work, to destructive relationships, to food, to spending . . . but beyond our personal Egypt lies God's promised land.

Author and theologian Chuck DeGroat shows how our wilderness journey helps us face our fears, receive our new identity, experience transformation, and live into our newfound freedom. Discussion questions follow each chapter.

This study is an introduction to the history and content of the three ecumenical creeds (Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian) and three Reformed confessions (Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, and Canons of Dort). The materials can be used in various adult study groups, taking as few as four or as many as 31 sessions. The last section of A Place To Stand contains Postscripts, which are to be used in class sessions.

This classic devotional leads you through an entire year of meaningful moments with God. Each month's meditations follow a book of the Bible, such as the gospel of John or the psalms; or a biblical theme, such as the meaning of Jesus' resurrection or the coming of God's kingdom.

Though twilight is an excellent time for meditation, as the author suggests, you can use this devotional at any time of day to take a rejuvenating break with God.

Makes a wonderful profession of faith or graduation gift.

What will Christ's glorious return to earth be like? How can we get ready for it? Recent years have generated a great deal of talk about a rapture, a great tribulation, an Antichrist, a millennial reign of Christ on earth, a restoration of Israel, and other prophecies. Sorting out fact from fiction, Kuyvenhoven offers a clear, Reformed perspective on issues surrounding the end times--and provides a faith-nurturing journey that helps us live in the faith of our Lord's return.

Sadly, our ways of life in today's global economy have led to increasing land and habitat destruction, pollution, species extinction, buildup of greenhouse gases, and other degradations of the earth. But rather than grovel and wring our hands in despair, lifelong creation care scientist Calvin B. DeWitt suggests we discover a joyful, positive attitude about working together for good in this world. Looking forward in hope, we can make changes and take positive, lasting action that is more in harmony with the way the world works and is meant to be. This book, now in its third edition, helps to provide us and our friends, neighbors, coworkers, and fellow citizens with practical information and ideas to become truly earthwise.

This 450th Anniversary Edition of the Heidelberg Catechism is a fresh and accurate translation from the 1563 German and Latin texts. It is also an ecumenical effort in that it is recommended for use in Reformed and Presbyterian churches today. This development fits the catechism's original purpose for not only teaching the faith but also uniting various churches by means of a common confession.

In this book Kevin Adams shares stories of unlikely Psalm prayers and an unpredictable God, opening up the honest and earthy world of the Psalms in new and unexpected ways. And he invites us to find our own story within that community of faith.

Reading this book you will find yourself underlining an especially poignant verse here or jotting notes in the margin there, as the psalms come alive through the stories of those who have used and abused them through the centuries.

You don't have to wonder whether you thoughts pass muster or if you've got it right. The Psalms teach us that God has a really thick skin. So write your honest hopes, doubts, and dreams. In the process, you'll find out what you know and believe.

Honest to God is an inspiring daily faith exercise and a thoughtful gift for the creative people in your life.
