Understanding the Bible
isn’t for the few, the gifted, the scholarly. The Bible is accessible.
It’s meant to be read and comprehended by everyone from armchair
readers to seminary students. A few essential insights into the Bible
can clear up a lot of misconceptions and help you grasp the meaning of
Scripture and its application to your 21st-century life.
| This book builds on a simple premise: good teaching cannot be reduced
to technique but is rooted in the identity and integrity of the
teacher. Good teaching takes myriad forms but good teachers share one trait: they are authentically present in the classroom, in community with their students and their subject; possessing "a capacity for connectedness".... | ||

How accurate are modern translations? Why does
the Roman Catholic Bible have more books than most Protestant Bibles?
How can we be sure that the Biblical message has been accurately
preserved? How We Got the Bible, has become a classic source of answers for these and other
questions on how the Bible has come down to us.

| "Quite simply, orthodoxy, is belief in what is right, and by extension, what is wrong. So how can we act generously in our asserstions of our most precious convictions?" , asks Brian McLaren. "To be a Christian in the generous, orthodox way is not to claim to have the truth captured, stuffed, and mounted on a wall. It is, rather to live and grow in a loving community of people who are seeking the truth on the road of mission, and who have been launched on the question by Jesus, who with us, guides us still," [from the dust cover' blurb]. |  For some reason Amazon doesn't have an image of the book, but I do (aren't I special?) Word of Mouth is a playful way to present scripture. This book goes through the major pericopes of John's Gospel. Includes additional material helping readers to develop their own style of readers theater presentation. | ||
| Celebrations and Observances of the Church Year is an excellent resource that shows pastors and worship leaders how to use the liturgical rhythm of the Christian calendar to help their congregations encounter Christ and participate in God's continuing story. With practical examples and clear definitions, it explains the history and background behind the Christian calendar and provides a framework for creating services that connect people to the richness of our Christian traditions and faith. | |||
| I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. . . . I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened. In Donald Miller's early years, he was vaguely familiar with a distant God. But when he came to know Jesus Christ, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. Within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God. In this intimate, soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey back to a culturally relevant, infinitely loving God (from Amazon's "product description).. | |||
