Today, more than ever, we need a solid word for an unsure world. And perhaps no other book reflects the heart of God and the passion of man as powerfully as the book of Romans.
Exploring the seven "sign" miracles in the Gospel of John, this text emphasizes that the purpose of miracles is to deepen our trust in God, not in miracles themselves. Within these pages, Rogers discusses the problem with miracles, as well as fleshing out the seven miracles.
This world is truly a dark place, yet Jesus is the Light of the world.

The Knowing the Bible series is a new resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God's Word. Each 12-week study leads participants through one book of the Bible and is made up of four basic components: (1) Reflection questions designed to help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) "Gospel Glimpses" highlighting the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) "Whole-Bible Connections" showing how any given passage connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption culminating in Christ; and (4) "Theological Soundings" identifying how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from a wide array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God's grace on each and every page of the Bible. The book of Romans was Paul's greatest literary achievement, a majestic letter in which the apostle expounds on crucial doctrines such as original sin, election, substitutionary atonement, the role of the law, and justification by faith alone. Plumbing the theological depths, Jared Wilson writes with a pastor's eye toward understanding and application as he explains the biblical text with clarity and passion, helping readers follow along as Paul recounts the history of salvation and illuminates the glories of the cross of Christ.
Paul's epistle to the Romans is the fullest explanation of the gospel in the New Testament. In this slim volume, L. A. Mott guides the reader step by step through the logical foundation of Paul's argument in chapters 1 - 5.This slim volume (only 52 pages) is divided into three sections. The first, "Righteousness Through Faith," shows how Paul demonstrates in the first three chapters human kind's desperate need for some system that could declare us "Not Guilty" besides our own merit.The second section, by way of an exposition of Romans 4, explains "The Nature of Faith in Romans."And the final section, "Faith Faces the Future," Mott's exposition of Romans 5 explains how this faith gives us reason to "rejoice in hope of the glory of God," and even to "rejoice in our tribulations."
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The late, beloved Rachel Held Evans answers many children's first question about God in this gorgeous picture book, fully realized by her friend Matthew Paul Turner, the bestselling author of When God Made You. Children who are introduced to God, through attending church or having loved ones who speak about God, often have a lot of questions, including this ever-popular one: What is God like? The late Rachel Held Evans loved the Bible and loved showing God’s love through the words and pictures found in that ancient text. Through these pictures from the Bible, children see that God is like a shepherd, God is like a star, God is like a gardener, God is like the wind, and more. God is a comforter and support. And whenever a child is unsure, What Is God Like? encourages young hearts to “think about what makes you feel safe, what makes you feel loved, and what makes you feel brave. That's what God is like.”
What truths do you live by? Do you have solid spiritual foundations? Or, are your foundations rather shaky? What will happen to you after your life is over? Do you have eternal life? How does someone get eternal life? Come and explore some time-tested truths and see if your foundations can be strengthened! The purpose of this book is not to present new insight, but rather to present old truths in a clear way that is easy to understand. This book covers many topics. Other authors have written whole books on topics which are covered here in just a couple pages. Don’t expect exhaustive coverage of any topic; but do expect a lot to be covered in a few pages. How are your foundations doing?
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.
