Carson, and Elisabeth Elliot offer thought-provoking essays responding to the challenge egalitarianism poses to life in the church and in the home. Covering topics like role distinctions in the church, how biblical manhood and womanhood should work out in practice, and women in the history of the church, this helpful resource will help readers learn to orient their beliefs with God's unchanging word in an ever-changing culture.
Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

The central goal of studying God's Word is to know God better. Since God gave us the Bible as a written book that contains much history, He expects us to use literary and historical principles when we study it. In "The Bible in Its Context," we look at how to study God's Word for ourselves, by examining the context of Bible verses, whole-book context, cultural background, and some specific principles for understanding different kinds of writings found in the Bible (such as psalms, proverbs, laws, and prophecies). This book teaches essential principles for learning what God was saying to the first readers of the Bible, a necessary step in hearing how to apply God's message today.
