Cuando nos remontamos a la era de Abraham, encontramos personas que inventaban supersticiones falsas para explicar lo inexplicable. Reyes poderosos que se creían dioses, edificicaban pirámides inmensas para tratar de alcanzar la inmortalidad. De toda esa masa de malentendidos salió un hombre. A ese hombre lo conocemos hoy en día como Abraham, quien no sólo afirmó que existía un Creador verdadero, sino que también se jugó la vida por esa creenc...

La vida no es para los cobardes. Si la vida puede compararse a un viaje, es ciertamente uno muy accidentado. Las emergencias médicas familiares pueden lanzarnos a curvas cerradas emocionales. La pérdida del trabajo puede hacernos sentir como que estamos inmovilizados en una abarrotada carretera de ocho carriles. En este devocional de 30 días, el popular maestro de la Biblia Chuck Swindoll nos inspira a desarrollar una confianza firme en el Dio...

Written to Jewish believers who were persecuted and tempted to leave the faith, the central theme of Hebrews is simple but powerful: Christ is superior. As the God-man, Jesus Christ is greater than all the prophets of old, he is also greater than the angels, greater than Moses and Joshua, and even greater than the Law and its priesthood. Jesus is the source of our faith, our hope, and our love.As the author asserts: "Since we have a great high...

Galatians is the most personal, in-your-face, no-holds-barred writing from Paul's passionate pen. Frankly, it reads like a declaration of war! Paul had heard that the Galatian Christians were in danger of falling away from the true gospel of grace by turning to a legalistic approach to salvation and the Christian life. Paul's simple but profound response is this: Not only is the sinner saved by grace, but the saved sinner also lives by grace.T...

Philippians is saturated with joy. While under house arrest in Rome, Paul wrote to encourage the Philippians to rejoice in the Lord, despite their circumstances--to find Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered joy in living, serving, sharing, and resting.Colossians is addressed to a church suffering from cultural capitulation and spiritual surrender--just like the church of the twenty-first century. Those who deceive others with self-centered philos...

From the flap: A TestimonyFor more than sixty years, I have cultivated a love for the Bible and have pursued an understanding of it. My purpose in writing this book is to help you do the same.First, I'd like to offer an explanation of how this love affair started. As early as my late teens, I was drawn to the truths of God's Word and captivated by its wisdom. My interest in the Bible can be traced in large part to the fact that I was reared by...

Luke's second volume is a book of transitions, documenting the period after the earthly ministry of Jesus, an era like no other in history, a time when God had much to say but spoke less through individual prophets and more through a growing, Spirit-filled community. Throughout this narrative, Luke shows the church challenged, the church guided by the Holy Spirit, and the church triumphant.I would state Luke's purpose this way: to demonstrate,...

Paul's letter to the church in Rome has inspired countless believers. In it Augustine finds the seed plot of his faith, it sparks a revolution in the heart of Martin Luther, ignites the mind of Jonathan Edwards, and strangely warms the heart of John Wesley. It is Paul's manifesto of the new kingdom, declaring our essential beliefs and establishing our agenda as Christ's disciples. In it Paul shows that the plan of God is more than a mere fire ...

The four short letters of 1-3 John and Jude deliver powerful messages of correct living in a wrong world and are as relevant today as they were in the first century. Written near the end of the John's life, 1 John was meant to revive the faith, love, and hope of his readers and encourage them to renew an authentic, contagious walk with Christ. Like two siblings, 2 and 3 John are letters with unique personalities but also some striking similari...

Are you getting the spiritual nourishment you need?We all know what it's like to eat an unbalanced diet or consume too many sweets. We feel sick, light-headed, and occasionally depressed, or we become irritated and edgy. It's the body's way of letting us know that it's lacking sufficient nourishment. Optimal health requires optimal nutrition. The same is true, spiritually speaking. Without sufficient and regular biblical nutrition, our inner l...

Dr. Luke's carefully researched account shows how Jesus compassionately identified with the neediness of humanity, implicitly placing its emphasis on the Messiah as Immanuel, "God with us." His Gospel presents a messiah who is never distant or uncaring. Instead, Jesus climbs down from the heavenly realms to enter the clutter and chaos of our fallen world and to subject Himself to our faults and frailties, pains and passions, sorrows and sickne...

The style of Mark's writing is not unlike an adventure movie: fast-paced and action-packed. The Gospel of Mark makes for stirring drama--compelling, inspirational, challenging, and sobering.
