World English Bible

How should Christians conduct themselves in an increasingly secular society? Jesus answered this troubling question on the eve of His death with some of the most poignant, powerful teachings in His entire ministry. During those hours, Jesus taught His apostles and, consequently, all believers throughout history, How to Survive in a World of Unbelievers.

Unseen. Powerless. Hopeless. Many of us believe that these words describe who we are. In You Are Unshaken, Laura Krokos reminds us that this is not simply negative self-talk. These are lies Satan uses to keep us from living out the peace-filled, joy-filled life God wants for us.

To the world around us, this kind of unconditional love makes little sense. The world is really good at loving some people, sometimes. Most of us are. But what about loving people who don't talk like us, think like us, vote like us, or see the world like we do? In this five-session audio Bible study, Bob points the way to embodying love by doing the unexpected, the intimidating, the seemingly impossible—to love everybody the way Jesus loved them—without fear, insecurity, or reservations.

The Bible is the best-selling book of all time. It adorns coffee tables and church pews. We swear on it in court and politicians take their oaths of office on it, yet few have actually read the Bible in its entirety and even fewer rightly divide and apply it. However, what is most troubling are the ones who say that their beliefs and practices are based upon the eternal truths of the Bible, but nothing can be further from the truth as those beliefs and practices are cultural derivations that are contrary to the God revealed in the Bible.

Creation Care: Audio Lectures bring together expertise in biblical studies and science, as Doug and Jonathan Moo trace key themes through Scripture in an effort to situate the created world within biblical theology. Lessons offer reflection on the biblical mandate to embody and live out God’s perspective on the created world.

In 1925, James Henry Breasted sent a team of archaeologists to the Holy Land to excavate the ancient site of Megiddo - Armageddon in the New Testament. Their excavations made headlines around the world and shed light on one of the most legendary cities of biblical times. Digging Up Armageddon brings to life one of the most important archaeological expeditions ever undertaken, describing the site and what was found there, and providing an up-close look at the internal workings of a dig in the early years of biblical archaeology.

Why does a contented, satisfied life feel so evasive? What deep hungers drive the reckless purchasing habits, out of control accumulation, and crazy consumer lifestyle for so many of us? And why are we often driven more by what our neighbors own than what will truly make us happy? For many in the recent economic financial crisis a series of lifestyle adjustments became necessary as hours were slashed at work and paychecks diminished. Vacations were simplified or canceled, even important purchases had to be delayed and any extras were put on hold.

"Everyone has secrets, and everyone is living a double life to some degree. The world is held up by lies; if everyone's secrets were to all be revealed tomorrow morning, civilization might collapse." To ascend the social hierarchies and achieve great power, you need to optimize and strategize rather than slog and "work hard" for every day of your life. This is counterproductive since it does not guarantee any beneficial results in the end.

Winner of the John W. Kluge Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Human Sciences, Jaroslav Pelikan is Professor Emeritus of history at Yale University and past president of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

In Whose Bible Is It?, Pelikan traces the transformation of the Bible from its earliest oral traditions to its modern forms.

Building on the foundation of the New York Times bestseller, Love Does, the Love Does study (guide sold separately) is a case study in love done - a love that's practical, functional, active. Not a "love" that has all the right answers. Not a "love" with ulterior motives. Not a "love" that's all talk or paralyzed by doubt. But a radically alive love that's an intentional participation in God's world.

The final world dictator seeking global domination will also be an “Assyrian” who is here characterized by a bow, riding a white horse. It is interesting how many confuse this counterfeit with the rider of the white horse in Revelation 19. In chapter six, however, this rider is among some very bad company! Behold a White Horse explores the career of the first of these “Four Horsemen” who seems to have at least 33 titles in the Old Testament and 13 in the New Testament and the common term “AntiChrist” really isn’t one of them.

Jimmy Carter has been teaching Sunday school ever since he was a young midshipman in Annapolis. In later years he conducted religious services on submarines on which he served, and he even led the occasional class in Washington while he was president. For the last 25 years, President Carter has taught the adult Bible study at his church in Plains, where several hundred visitors join him each Sunday to understand the wisdom of the Bible and apply it to their lives.

Everyone has secrets, and everyone is living a double life to some degree. The world is held up by lies; if everyone's secrets were to all be revealed tomorrow morning, civilization might collapse. To ascend the social hierarchies and achieve great power, you need to optimize and strategize rather than slogging and "working hard" every day of your life. This is counterproductive since it does not guarantee any beneficial results in the end. Nobody can succeed by following rules in the first place.

The Bible contains 8,362 predictive verses about 737 different matters and yet prophecy is one of the most neglected subjects in the Church today. Understanding prophecy is an essential and fundamental issue for every serious Christian. But where do we start? This series has been designed to give you a strategic overview of prophecy: past, present and future. This series will encourage the new believer and strengthen the faith of all who study it. Now, more than ever, it is important that we have answers for people who are seeking the truth. We need to equip ourselves to be ready to give an answer to every man for the hope that lies within us.

This is not the stereotypical approach to the biblical record one has come to expect. Rather, Eugenia Price writes with the keen eye, ear, and heart of an authentic storyteller. Her characters act, talk, and feel like real people. People you know. People you cannot forget. People God met on every level, in every conceivable circumstance, century after century. Beloved World is as much a must-listen for the person who has never been acquainted with the Bible, as it is for the minister or teacher looking for fresh, vital material.

Easter, three days that changed the world forever. What can archaeology, science, and ancient historical text reveal about the Easter story? Can we separate the two Easters, the one told of in the Bible and the one with the cute bunny? Examine the evidence, look at the traditions, the myths, and the proof.

From the World English Bible, this is the last book. It is an updated translation making it easier to understand without going away from the meaning. This is a book of the bible we are to read for ourselves, listen to, and not change from the message given. One way to use this audiobook is to listen as a group and engage in discussion about it.

People spend a large part of their waking hours trying to change, wanting to get better. Whether it's weight loss or spending habits or overall fitness, everyone would like to change some aspect of themself. New Year's Eve resolutions are, generally, forgotten by February. Failing to change comes from two misunderstandings. Personal change is incremental. We get better with small steps, not giant leaps.
