This story-oriented recovery book unfolds the back-story of redemption in Exodus to show how Jesus redeems us from the slavery of abuse and addiction and restores us to our created purpose, the worship of God.

This commentary series is established on the presupposition that the theological character of the New Testament documents calls for exegesis that is sensitive to theological themes as well as to the details of the historical, linguistic, and textual context. Such thorough exegetical work lies at the heart of these volumes, which contain detailed verse-by-verse commentary preceded by general comments on each section and subsection of the text. An important aim of the NIGTC authors is to interact with the wealth of significant New Testament research published in recent articles and monographs. In this connection the authors make their own scholarly contributions to the ongoing study of the biblical text. The text on which these commentaries are based is the UBS Greek New Testament, edited by Kurt Aland and others. While engaging the major questions of text and interpretation at a scholarly level, the authors keep in mind the needs of the beginning student of Greek as well as the pastor or layperson who may have studied the language at some time but does not now use it on a regular basis.

The Bible contains a sweeping story, but it's all too easy to lose sight of the forest for the trees. Whether it's the dimensions of Noah's ark or the regulations for sacrifices in the temple, sometimes we miss the big picture when sifting through all the important details contained in Scripture. Helping readers discover the overarching narrative that binds the Bible together, this book highlights 16 key verses that stand as "turning points" in the biblical story line, enabling us to see God's incredible plan to redeem his people from Genesis to Revelation. Whether it's the creation of humanity, the establishment of the covenants, or the coming of the Messiah, this book will help Christians see how God's Word tells a single story about his sovereignty, glory, and grace.

Where one spends eternity will be determined by the road they choose to take. As a soul winner and laborer in the vineyard, it is criti- cally important that you re-present Jesus in a clear and compelling way. - - What are you doing to put Jesus on display? - - What are you saying to make them thirsty for the God in you? - - Does your life make them hungry to know the God you serve? - - Do you know the prayer of salvation to lead a person to the Lord? - - Are you ready to defend the faith when some- one challenges you? God's plan of redemption and road to salvation is so simple yet we have done so much over time to complicate it. Getting back to the fundamentals of salvation....Confessing, Believing, and Receiving... is essential if we are to be effective in witnessing to the lost. Allow your passion for sharing the love of Christ with others to be reignited as you fulfill the mandate of Jesus, go out and make disciples of all nations.

In the distance, a figure, just barely a speck on the horizon, slowly approaches his boyhood home. He hasn't been there in years and is nervous about showing his face. Years ago he wished his father would drop dead, took his share of an inheritance, and lived a shameful life. With all the wealth squandered, his desperate poverty has driven him back to his father's house. At the same time, an elderly man, distinguished and handsomely dressed, sees a far-off silhouette. Could it be? he thinks to himself, not daring to let his hopes up, refusing to believe his son would ever come home. But what is a vague, repressed hope becomes the undeniable truth that his long-lost son draws near. He runs recklessly to meet him. Grace for You, taken from Dr. John MacArthur's best-selling book A Tale of Two Sons, explains the hidden dynamics of Jesus' most well known parable, The Parable of the Prodigal Son. It gives you a brief but powerful look into the homecoming of the son, the unthinkable response of the father, and the often overlooked truth about the older brother who spurns his return. In these pages you will rediscover the depths of god's redemption.

It was GOD Who orchestrated the events and testimonies in my life and told me to "write". All that has been documented in this book is a result of me simply obeying what GOD has told me to do (mostly) and His mercy and grace towards me during my obstinate and weak moments. Thus, this is GOD's communication to us all. My sincere desire is that many will read this book and find hope and light in this dark and evil world; that they come to truly believe, and not doubt, that GOD is everything that the Bible says...and more! I pray that the TRUTH will set people free and that they be encouraged to seek Him and know Him for themselves. To know Him is to fall in love with Him.

Is God changeable? Does He have different gospels for different people? The story of redemption takes you behind the scenes in the struggle between God and Satan.
