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.

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.

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.

With exclusive access to Strummer's friends, relatives, and fellow musicians, music journalist Chris Salewicz penetrates the soul of an rock 'n roll icon. The Clash was--and still is--one of the most important groups of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Indebted to rockabilly, reggae, Memphis soul, cowboy justice, and '60s protest, the overtly political band railed against war, racism, and a dead-end economy, and in the process imparted a conscience to punk. Their eponymous first record and London Calling still rank in Rolling Stone's top-ten best albums of all time, and in 2003 they were officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Joe Strummer was the Clash's front man, a rock-and-roll hero seen by many as the personification of outlaw integrity and street cool. The political heart of the Clash, Strummer synthesized gritty toughness and poetic sensitivity in a manner that still resonates with listeners, and his untimely death in December 2002 shook the world, further solidifying his iconic status. Salewicz was a friend to Strummer for close to three decades and has covered the Clash's career and the entire punk movement from its inception. He uses his vantage point to write Redemption Song, the definitive biography of Strummer, charting his enormous worldwide success, his bleak years in the wilderness after the Clash's bitter breakup, and his triumphant return to stardom at the end of his life. Salewicz argues for Strummer's place in a long line of protest singers that includes Woody Guthrie, John Lennon, and Bob Marley, and examines by turns Strummer's and punk's ongoing cultural influence.

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. It explains how the conflict began, what the issues are, and how the outcome is already assured. It traces the theme of God's relationship with man from the garden of Edan to the return of Christ and beyond.
