The Parables of Paul: The Master of the Metaphor
ISBN: 9781630882532 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For over 2,000 years, the church has looked to the apostle Paul and his letters in order to understand and follow the Christian life. Paul had his own compelling way of sharing Jesus' message with others, through the use of the metaphor--a brief, imaginative word picture that shows the same truth as a longer story. From casting himself in the role of a slave, to presenting the Christian as a soldier or an actor, or even showing how we are vessels in the King's house, Paul's gallery of enriching, life-changing story pictures paints for us an indelible picture of the Christian...

Detective Stories from the Bible
ISBN: 9781426702563 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When we think of a detective story, we often think of murder mysteries. But the Bible contains some different kinds of detective stories. How is it, for instance, that some of the key personalities in the Bible story slip into the story almost unnoticed--like Judah, for example, an ancestor of King David and Jesus Christ. How did the symbolism of blood in Communion get started? When Cain was warned that the ground would no longer yield for him because he had killed his brother--did that set a precedent for connecting moral behavior with environmental harshness? These themes and many others...

Longing to Pray: How the Psalms Teach Us to Talk with God

But with all of that, they were saints who left us with the greatest collection of prayers in the possession of our human race. What was their secret? I believe it was the quality of their friendship with God. And of course the language of that friendship is prayer. The psalmists don't give...

Careful biblical interpretation; insights into contemporary life; polished delivery; humorous anecdotes; these are the building blocks of preaching that genuinely reach people. Right? Wrong, says Ellsworth Kalas.

The difference, Kalas reminds us, lies in that hard-to-describe, yet essential quality known as soul. Soul is the collection of those perspectives...
