The Greatness of Gratitude takes a naked look at what it means to live a thankful life. It reminds us that while we have little or no control over many of the things that come our way, we have power and governance over how we react to them. This book provokes us to evaluate how we treat each other, manage our relationships, and utilize our time. It moves us to consider the biblical foundation for gratitude and the discipline and intricacies of living a gracefully grateful life. It moves the reader to live thoughtfully and thankfully so that gratitude becomes the dominant thread that is woven in the fabric of his life.
Most agree that the universal cry of every human heart is Love. What if that hunger has its origin in our Creator? What if that need has been programmed into our spiritual DNA? What if God is the Love we yearn for? What if a relationship with Him is the key to our deep-seated longing? What if intimacy with Him is a clue to our passionate desires? What if we are not only loved, but treasured? Would such knowledge make a difference? Callie, David and Jesse encounter those questions in their personal searches for love and intimacy. Will the culture of their day, the cries of their own flesh and the frustrations of living in a less than perfect world blind them to the treasures hidden in surprising places. Or will they discover the truth of Solomon 6:3? I am my Beloveds and my Beloved is mine. Though each journey is different, ultimately they individually face the same choice. And their responses make all the difference.
The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels is unique among reference books on the Bible, the first volume of its kind since James Hastings published his Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels in 1909. In the more than eight decades since Hastings, our understanding of Jesus, the Evangelists and their world has grown remarkably. New interpretive methods illumined the text, the ever-changing profile of modern culture has put new questions to the Gospels, and our understanding of the Judaism of Jesus's day has advanced in ways that could not have been predicted in Hastings's day. But for many readers of the Gospels the new outlook on the Gospels remains hidden within technical journals and academic monographs. The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels bridges the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students and lay people desiring in-depth treatment of select topics in an accessible and summary format. The topics range from cross-sectional themes (such as faith, law, Sabbath) to methods of interpretation (such as form criticism, redaction criticism, sociological approaches), from key events (such as the birth, temptation and death of Jesus) to each of the four Gospels as a whole. Some articles - such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, rabbinic traditions and revolutionary movements at the time of Jesus - provide significant background information to the Gospels. Others reflect recent and less familiar issues in Jesus and Gospel studies, such as divine man, ancient rhetoric and the chreiai. Contemporary concerns of general interest are discusses in articles covering such topics as healing, the demonic and the historical reliability of the Gospels. And for those entrusted with communicating the message of the Gospels, there is an extensive article on preaching from the Gospels. The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels presents the fruit of evangelical New Testament scholarship at the end of the twentieth century - committed to the authority of Scripture, utilising the best of critical methods, and maintaining dialog with contemporary scholarship and challenges facing the church.

Secrets? Everyone has a few. Except for the pleasant ones that produce a knowing smile and put a definite spring in our step, we tend to hide, bury, or camouflage the others. It is the others that the Roberts siblings have knowingly and unknowingly buried. Though their lives are littered with clues, they are oblivious to the connection between the two. For such secret keepers, it is not only disturbing but also disarming when the new family next door begins to openly share their smiley secrets and discreetly disclose the ones that generate tears. The Diamond family's openness about life encourages Jake and Josie to unearth their never-before-revealed stories. What they discover is alarming. Will they choose the love that heals and the truth that sets free? Or will they allow the past to continue to define their present and predict their future? Discoveries await ... either way.
Lives depend on keeping secrets buried. He just started digging... Eddie Mackey was busy defending his country when his estranged wife supposedly committed suicide. A year later, he has a new mission: taking down her murderer. And he knows just where to start: the New York City photojournalist who filmed his wife’s last words. Except Miranda Hill won’t betray the secrets of the dead, especially when she has to protect the living. Not to mention, a terrifying accident left her with wicked PTSD. The last thing she needs is a determined marine jeopardizing her hard-won stability. When Eddie’s investigation puts Miranda’s life in danger, he appoints himself the gorgeous woman’s bodyguard. In close proximity, sparks fly even as it becomes clear they are embroiled in something far more sinister than they’d imagined. Soon higher stakes erode the tenuous trust Eddie and Miranda have built. With a killer determined to keep secrets buried, the only way to win is to dig deep—both inside and out—to uncover the truth, expose evil, and deliver justice. This is a compelling, fast-paced, sexy forced-proximity, bodyguard story with a hunky, military hero determined to right the past and an independent, urban woman who must overcome her past in order to fight for the future.
