New from the Best-Selling Author of Women of the Word Christianity isn't about following rules, it's about a relationship. The rise in popularity of this phrase coincides with a growing disinterest and misunderstanding regarding the role of God's life-giving, perfect law in the Christian life. Rather than the source of joy it was intended to be, the law is viewed as an angry god's restrictions for a rebellious people. In Ten Words to Live By, Jen Wilkin presents a fresh biblical look at the Ten Commandments, showing how they come to bear on our lives today as we seek to love God and others, to live in joyful freedom, and to long for that future day when God will be rightly worshiped for eternity. Learn to see the law of God as a feast for your famished soul, open to anyone who calls on the name of the Lord.

The Command of Melchizedek dwells upon often overlooked verses of scripture and the deep spiritual import of these prophetic writings from a theological and deep-thinking perspective; it expands on the person of Melchizedek and the attendant order and command which followed the ascension of Jesus into heaven, which order states, "Let all the Angels of God worship him," and also "Worship Him, all you gods."

It lights up in our hearts the truth of the creator making Adam and Eve, male and female, expressly in their own image and likeness, after the Father and the Mother.

Grow in grace: every Christian is expected to do it, yet many feel they have failed to grow consistently. But how can we grow? Isn't that something God just sort of does for us or in us? In this encouraging and accessible book, Justin Huffman considers some of the means God has given us for spiritual growth. Many of these will be familiar and expected; others may be new and surprising. Yet all of God's means of grace have this common objective: to draw us closer to Christ and, in doing so, make us more like Christ.
