In this important study Hays argues against the mainstream that any attempt to account for the nature and method of Paul's theological language must first reckon with the centrality of narrative elements in his thought. Through an in-depth investigation of Galatians 3:1-4:11, Hays shows that the framework of Paul's thought is neither a system of doctrines nor his personal religious experience but the "sacred story" of Jesus Christ.

Before sunset two men would be dead, and another in hiding. Each of them would become famous for the events that fateful Friday. Jesus, Peter and Judas. You think you know the story, but do you know the lesson? In this account of two betrayals, Sebastian Lucido reveals the events and choices that led each man to their very different destinies that week in Jerusalem. While both Peter and Judas considered themselves a faithful friend and a loyal follower of Christ, each man chose a different path that week in Jerusalem. The Rock and The Serpent is an intimate character investigation into the souls of Peter and Judas. After years of following Jesus, what could lead two men to denying Jesus that Passover Night? How is it that two normal, intelligent, seemingly well-intentioned human beings follow the same Teacher - and yet one of them would fail to learn the simplest and most essential lessons of the heart? At the same time, we will look at more pressing and contemporary questions: What essential lessons might we be missing from their stories? Which of these two men is most like us? And which story could have been your story, if you had walked and talked with Jesus two thousand years ago? Two Men. One Decision. What does it mean to follow Christ?

Connecting with the Spirit of God in worship is fundamental to the life of the believer, and yet, so many Christians never experience the power of the Spirit in worship- and as a result, never experience the natural outflow of the Spirit of God: miracles, healing, restoration, empowerment, strength and so much more. Why? What can we do to make sure that our connection to the Holy Spirit is unbreakable? What role does worship play? For what purposes did God create worship? Where do I fit in? Why don't I feel Him more? If you can't answer each of these questions with confidence, this book is for you. We want to connect with the Spirit of God in worship. More importantly, God wants to connect with YOU. There are tremendous, life-changing benefits to worship in "spirit and truth"- but understanding what that means, how to use worship in all aspects of your life and what the enemy will do to break your connection with God is paramount. If you desire more of God; if you've been standing in faith for revival in your life; if you've been believing for miracles; if you're not sensing His presence in your life or seeing the manifestation of answers in prayer- start here! If the Bible is your sword, worship is your arrow. The Christian life is full of battles and victories, but you have been equipped with *every* weapon you need- now, learn how to use them!

Dawn Dixon can hardly believe she's on a groomless honeymoon on beautiful Cape Cod . . . with her mother. Sure, Marnie Dixon is good company, but Dawn was supposed to be here with Kevin, the love of her life (or so she thought). Marnie Dixon needs some time away from the absolute realness of life as much as her jilted daughter does, and she's not about to let her only child suffer alone--even if Marnie herself had been doing precisely that for the past month. Given the circumstances, maybe it was inevitable that Marnie would do something as rash as buy a run-down ice-cream shop in the town's tightly regulated historic district. After all, everything's better with ice cream. Her exasperated daughter knows that she's the one who will have to clean up this mess. Even when her mother's impulsive real estate purchase brings Kevin back into her life, Dawn doesn't get her hopes up. Everyone knows that broken romances stay broken . . . don't they? Welcome to a summer of sweet surprises on Cape Cod--a place where dreams just might come true.
