Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

The Names of Jesus by A.B. Simpson is a book exactly about what it is entitled. In this book, A B Simpson originally preached a series of sermons on the names of Christ and this book takes some of those sermons and makes a 15 chapter book out of those sermons. A.B. Simpson had this book Names of Jesus printed in 1892 and he was delighted to share that Jesus Christ was everywhere in the Bible. A B Simpson saw Christ in the Old Testament and the New Testament. A.B. Simpson saw Jesus in the rock, the staff, the tree, the river, the vine, the prophet, everywhere in scripture. With the Names of Jesus we have a great resource for reference and study that will delve into some of the more biblical truths that resonate throughout the scriptures. Believers need to know their Savior and to understand that the names reveal an underlying truth about the One who is their redeemer. A.B. Simpson wanted everyone to realize that Jesus Christ was made known to those in the OT and revealed in the NT through actions, sacrifices, names and traditions. All of scripture winds around these truths and constantly go forward with truth and utmost authority always pointing to the Christ.

Daniel Ramirez's history of twentieth-century Pentecostalism in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands begins in Los Angeles in 1906 with the eruption of the Azusa Street Revival. The Pentecostal phenomenon--characterized by ecstatic spiritual practices that included speaking in tongues, perceptions of miracles, interracial mingling, and new popular musical worship traditions from both sides of the border--was criticized by Christian theologians, secular media, and even governmental authorities for behaviors considered to be unorthodox and outrageous. Today, many scholars view the revival as having catalyzed the spread of Pentecostalism and consider the U.S.-Mexico borderlands as one of the most important fountainheads of a religious movement that has thrived not only in North America but worldwide. Ramirez argues that, because of the distance separating the transnational migratory circuits from domineering arbiters of religious and aesthetic orthodoxy in both the United States and Mexico, the region was fertile ground for the religious innovation by which working-class Pentecostals expanded and changed traditional options for practicing the faith. Giving special attention to individuals' and families' firsthand accounts and tracing how a vibrant religious music culture tied transnational communities together, Ramirez illuminates the interplay of migration, mobility, and musicality in Pentecostalism's global boom.
