The Gospel of Matthew

By: R. T. France

It is a special pleasure to introduce R T (Dick) France's commentary to the pastoral and scholarly community, who should find it a truly exceptional - and helpful - volume." So says Gordon Fee in his preface to this work. France's masterful commentary on Matthew focuses on exegesis of Matthew's text as it stands rather than on the prehistory of the material or details of Synoptic comparison. It is concerned throughout with what Matthew himself meant to convey about Jesus and how he set about doing so within the cultural and historical context of first-century Palestine. Amid the wide array of Matthew commentaries available today, France's world-class stature, his clear focus on Matthew and Jesus, his careful methodology, and his user-friendly style promise to make this volume an enduring standard for years to come.

We've Never Been This Way Before

Trusting God in Unprecedented Times

By: R. T. Kendall

From Best-Selling Author R. T. Kendall What if I told you the "new normal" is that nothing will be normal again? As recent events have unfolded, not only America but the entire world has been brought to the precipice of the most challenging moments of our lifetimes. But while these times seem unprecedented and unchartered to us, they are not to God. Much like He said to Joshua and the children of Israel standing on the edge of the Promised Land, God now says to us: "You have never been this way before" (Josh.3:4). God's word is tender, challenging, and scary. God knows where we've been and where we are going. As we cope with extraordinary new outbreaks of disease, racism, and cultural upheaval, we have been forced to recognize that we are not prepared for this. Nobody is. Yet there is hope. In this timely message, trusted theologian R. T. Kendall helps you navigate the way forward by exploring how God led His people in the past. Along the way, he answers questions such as: Where is God in all this? What do Christians have to offer the rest of the world during these times? Did the devil cause these things? Did God cause them? If God allowed these things to happen, then why? Just like today's Christians, the people of great faith listed in Hebrews 11 had to grapple with things that had not been encountered before. They needed unprecedented faith to accomplish God's purpose in unprecedented times. Join R. T. Kendall on this journey to understand what God is saying to His people in this critical hour, the ways He has already equipped you to face these uncertainties, and how to know His plan for your future. This book will help you understand what God is saying to us during this time of uncertainty and change.

FEAR

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

By: R.T. Kendall

You overcome the fear of people when the fear of God becomes your priority. This book will teach you to recognize the fear of man and how the enemy uses it to trap you and keep you from the purposes of God for your life. It will empower you to break free from this trap and live boldly, unafraid to trust God and His promises. When you care more about what people think than what God thinks, you will miss out on the opportunities God has for you. The Bible says, “The fear of man lays a snare” (Prov. 29:25). This type of fear is dangerous. It can get you into all kinds of trouble, and the enemy skillfully uses this weapon to keep you from fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. It can silence you when you should speak or paralyze you when you should take action. It affects far more Christians than you might think, but it doesn’t have to rule your life anymore. So how can you be freed from this trap? The fear of God leads to wisdom and worship, and there are two ways it comes to you: (1) it must be taught; and (2) the presence of God can bring fear as it did on the day of Pentecost and during the Great Awakening. You also learn it as you step out in courage and choose to trust what God says in spite of what people say. As you do this, the fear of man loses its power over you.

By: R. T. Kendall

Bestselling Author and Theologian Explores the Life and Ministry of Elijah Known for his in-depth yet accessible teaching, beloved author R. T. Kendall delves into the life of one of the most famous and most relatable persons in the Old Testament: Elijah. Drawn from a popular sermon series Dr. Kendall preached at Westminster Chapel in London, this discussion taken from 1 and 2 Kings traces the prophet's life and ministry from his first appearance and his confrontation with King Ahab until the time he is taken up to heaven. Kendall shows how even this revered prophet--an ordinary man with many imperfections--was used tremendously by God. A great study for both individuals and groups.

The Gospel of Mark

By: R. T. France

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Gospel of Mark

By: R. T. France

Drawing on many years of Marcan studies, world-class scholar R. T. France has produced an exegetical commentary on the Greek text of Mark that does what the best of recent Greek commentaries have done but in France's own inimitable, reader-friendly way. This work is a commentary on Mark itself, not a commentary on commentaries of Mark. It deals immediately and directly with matters that France himself regards as important. Working from his own translation of the Greek text and culling from helpful research into the world of first-century Palestine, France provides an extensive introduction to Mark's Gospel, followed by insightful section and verse commentary. France sees the structure of Mark's Gospel as an effective "drama in three acts." Act 1 takes up Jesus' public ministry in Galilee. Act 2 covers Jesus' journey to Jerusalem with his disciples. Act 3 focuses on Jesus' public ministry in Jerusalem, including his confrontation with the Jewish leaders, his explanatory discourse on the future, and his passion, death, and resurrection. France carefully unpacks for modern readers the two central themes of this powerful narrative of Jesus' life -- the nature of Christ and the role of discipleship. Supported by careful argumentation and impressive in its sensitivity to Mark's structure, context, and use of the Old Testament, France's study of the second Gospel is without peer.

His book, “A Selective Commentary on A Comparative Study of the Bible and the Koran” is to explain how Muhammed prepared the Koran for his new religion, Islam and to tell without a bias how Muhammed distorted the Bible and belief of the Biblical Christianity and how he did not confirm the biblical prophets. This book will tell Muslims that a Christology of the Koran is radically different from the Biblical Christology. An objective of the author is to faithfully or honestly reveal a true nature of the Bible and of the Koran that the people know the truth; and the truth will make them free and saved.

Double Anointing

Lessons to Be Learned From Elisha

Double Anointing

Lessons to Be Learned From Elisha

By: R.T. Kendall

FROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF TOTAL FORGIVENESS God uses people as they are and will let history determine one’s legacy. This book will guide me through the challenges and blessings of receiving God’s anointing so that I can use greater wisdom and discernment of how to properly use a double portion of anointing. Next to Moses, Elijah was the greatest prophet of the Old Testament. But he was so human—so much so that James said he was “just like us” (Jas. 5:17). One day he challenged the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel and fire fell from heaven. The next day he was running from Jezebel, scared to death. Toward the end of his ministry Elijah selected an unknown person—Elisha—with no obvious qualifications to succeed him. Elijah was Elisha’s mentor, but they were different. Elijah was colorful; Elisha was by comparison colorless. But God’s hand was equally on Elisha as with Elijah. In a short period of time Elisha put a bold request to Elijah, asking for a double portion of his spirit. It was granted. But how was this manifested? That is what this book is about. The anointing can be manifested in more than one way; we must all discover our anointing and live within it (Rom. 12:3). Elisha’s double anointing was partly in quantity rather than quality. Elijah performed something like seven miracles; some of Elisha’s miracles overlap with Elijah’s. But the total of Elisha’s miracles comes to at least fourteen, including raising the dead, as Elijah did. These things said, the two men were different in personality. Elijah ended brilliantly. Elisha ended not only as a lackluster successor to Elijah but in personal disappointment. This is a reminder that not all saintly Christians end their pilgrimage with sensational testimonies.

Wages of Crime

Black Markets, Illegal Finance, and the Underworld Economy

By: R.T. Naylor

Outraged by recent encroachments on citizens' rights that have been justified by claims that new and more restrictive laws will combat the ravages of international crime, Naylor contends that no police campaign that fails to address the demand for illegal goods and services has ever succeeded. He supports this claim with detailed - and often entertaining - accounts of past criminal operations and law enforcement's attempts to stop them. Wages of Crime makes a persuasive case for the need to address the underlying economic and political factors that encourage criminal enterprises rather than relying on restrictive laws.

Mike

The Memoirs of the Rt. Hon. Lester B. Pearson, Volume Two: 1948-1957

By: Rt. Hon. Lester B. Pearson

One of Canada’s most dynamic prime ministers, Lester B. Pearson lived a life which took him from a childhood in rural Ontario to the apex of international politics. In the second volume of his memoirs, he provides a first-person account of the busy and challenging decade that followed his entry into politics in 1948. This volume, completed after Pearson’s death under the supervision of his son Geoffrey, recounts his involvement in Canadian politics and diplomacy as a MP and Secretary of State for External Affairs during the early years of the Cold War. It offers his perspective on issues such as the formation of NATO, Canada’s involvement in the Korean War, and the diplomacy that ended the Suez Crisis and earned Pearson the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957. Two appendices, taken from his diaries, show him hard at work at the United Nations during the Korean crisis. Mike captures Pearson’s intellect, his sense of humour, and his humanity, offering an inside look at the moments that shaped the twentieth century. This new edition features a foreword by Pearson cabinet minister and former prime minister Jean Chrétien.

Matthew

Evangelist and Teacher

By: R. T. France

This work by R.T. France is not intended to be a guide to all that has been written in recent years about Matthew. Rather, it is an extended introduction to Matthew designed for a non-specialist readership. France concentrates on those areas he finds most interesting and important for the appreciation of Matthew, but he does touch on most major areas of discussion in Matthean studies. Among other things, France covers Matthew's place in the life of the church, the order of the Gospels, Matthew in the post-apostolic church, reasons for Matthew's preeminence, Matthew in the modern church, and literary relationships and the order of composition of the Gospels.

Pothole Confidential

My Life as Mayor of Minneapolis

By: R.T. Rybak

A pajama party at the Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport inadvertently helped launch R.T. Rybak’s political career (imagine a rumba line one hundred protesters long chanting, “We deserve to sleep, hey!”), but his earliest lessons in leadership occurred during his childhood. Growing up in a middle-class neighborhood, attending private school with students who had much more than he did, spending evenings at his family’s store in an area where people lived with much less, he witnessed firsthand the opportunity and injustice of the city he called home. In a memoir that is at once a political coming-of-age story and a behind-the-scenes look at the running of a great city, the three-term mayor takes readers into the highs and lows and the daily drama of a life inextricably linked with Minneapolis over the past fifty years. With refreshing candor and insight, Rybak describes his path through journalism, marketing, and community activism that led to his unlikely (to him, at least) primary election—on September 11, 2001. His personal account of the challenges and crises confronting the city over twelve years, including the tragic collapse of the I-35W bridge, the rising scourge of youth violence, and the bruising fight over a ban on gay marriage (with Rybak himself conducting the first such ceremony at City Hall on August 1, 2013), is also an illuminating, often funny depiction of learning the workings of the job, frequently on the fly, while trying to keep up with his most important constituency, his family. As bracing as the “fresh air” campaign that swept him into office, Rybak’s memoir is that rare document from a politician: one more concerned with the people he served and the issues of his time than with burnishing his own credentials. As such, it reflects what leadership truly looks like.

The Wanderer of New Hope

By: R. T. Crowley

Family tales of unexplained death, swaying yellow lights in the dead of night, and an apparition suddenly apparent and talking, yet, no words spoken. These are just a few experiences in the lives of the Stone family. "The Wanderer," the subject of many local legends haunts the land he roams. Through four generations, the wraith exerts the powerful influences of distraction, protection and devastation as it attempts to deal with changes in the New Hope Valley region. "A great local historical ghost story, one that makes me want to get out there and experience this phenomena for myself." - Anne Pressley Co-Founder and Lead Investigator for PB&J Paranormal "Folk stories about unexplained phenomenon provide an interesting element to North Carolina's history. The Wanderer of New Hope adds to the mystery." - Sherry Monahan, Author of Apex, Images of America

Controlling the Tongue

Mastering the What, When, and Why of the Words You Speak

By: R.T Kendall

The words we speak have power. Often the consequences of our careless words are far reaching and eternal. At one time or another we all have experienced saying something in a moment that takes hours (or weeks or a lifetime) to make right. In his engaging teaching style, Dr. R. T. Kendall helps you learn how to take control of the words you speak. He brings you straight to the Bible to identify characters who spoke without thinking as examples of how not to do things, demonstrating conclusively through their lives that, even when you fail, God will use you as He used them.,

From Divine Timemaker to Divine Watchmaker

An Exploration of God’s Temporality

By: R.T. Mullins

This book offers the most extensive exploration of divine temporality to date. It focuses on five main questions. First, what is time? Second, how is God responsible for the existence of time? Third, what does it mean to say that God is temporal? Fourth, what kind of structure might God give to a time series? Fifth, what are the implications for theological doctrines such as the Trinity, creation, providence, and life after death? The author offers a deep, critical engagement with the Christian tradition but also goes beyond to build analytic bridges to Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, and Jainist philosophical theology. The book provides an up-to-date discussion of issues within analytic metaphysics, philosophy of time, and philosophy of religion and draws on the resources of contemporary systematic, historical, and biblical theology.

Worshipping God

Devoting Our Lives to His Glory

By: R. T. Kendall

Understand how your act of worship through your daily life and expression of gratitude and love draws you closer to God. We are called, by the way we live and in all we do, to worship God. Yet most of us do not have the proper understanding of what worship really is. In Worshipping God, R. T. Kendall shows us the true meaning of worship as a way of honoring, glorifying, and loving God. Dealing with the different ways people worship, he explores the connection between our worship and our relationship with God.

Set Sail For Murder

By: R.T. Jordan

The iconic Polly Pepper, musical comedy superstar of yesteryear, is experiencing a bit of a professional dry spell-she can barely keep her bank account afloat, let alone her career. So when the nefarious Laura Crawford, scene-stealing former cast mate and perpetual diva, proposes a Polly Pepper Playhouse reunion cruise, Polly is on board, full-steam ahead. But she soon realizes that Hollywood on the high-seas will be nothing short of a shipwreck, especially after Laura is found dead, slain by the Season Six DVD of The Polly Pepper Playhouse box set. Now, if Polly can't solve this maritime mystery, a clever killer could send Polly's whole career-and even her life-overboard. "Polly proves once again that she's no slouch as a detective." -Publishers Weekly "The plot is well-crafted. . .will keep the reader guessing until the end." -Romantic Times

The New Revised Jesus, Mary, Joseph Novena Manual

By: Rt. Rev. Msgr. Joseph F. Stedman

The New Revised Jesus, Mary, Joseph Novena Manual was originally written for the world-wide communities of the Sisters Adores of the Precious Blood and the lay-members of the Confraternity of the Precious Blood. Similar to the Novena medal of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the Novena Manual features devotions to the Precious Blood of Jesus, to Mary Immaculate from whom Jesus drew the first drops of His Precious Blood, and to St. Joseph, the guardian of Him who redeemed us by His Precious Blood. The Novena Manual also contains a novena to Our Lady of Lourdes and a unique and beautiful novena to Our Sorrowful Mother centered around the Stations of the Cross (p. 24) among many other benefits, including: • Prayers for before and after Communion • A consecration to Mary • A beautiful prayer for children before birth (p. 95) • Prayers to pray before the exposed Eucharist • Meditations on the Seven Bloodsheddings of Christ (p. 86) • And much more... The Revised Jesus, Mary, and Joseph Novena Manual is more than a list of prayers, it is a powerful tool that will teach you how to pray with confidence, contrition, fervor, and perseverance. Small and durable, this Manual will be your constant companion in prayer, whether around the dinner table, on the road, or in the adoration chapel. History of the Order Portions of the Novena Manual discuss the founding of the Order of the Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood. In the mid 1800's a young girl named Catherine was convinced of her unique vocation and spent years trying to precisely define it. Finally the combined authority of the Archbishop of Montreal and Pope Leo XIII approved the world-wide Institute of the Sisters Adorers of the Most Precious Blood. Today the Institute is composed of 17 autonomous Monasteries of the Precious Blood in the United States, Canada and Japan. They wear a distinctive religious habit consisting of a white tunic, with a red scapular over it and a red sash, from which hangs a portion bearing the instruments of the Passion. Their original mission, in the words of their foundress, Mother Catherine Aurelie, "is to pray for the salvation of the world and for an increased holiness of the clergy of the Catholic Church." A portion of the proceeds from every purchase of this Confraternity of the Precious Blood title go directly to The Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood in Brooklyn, NY to support them in their vocation.

Being a young man can be difficultresisting temptation, facing challenges at every turn to prove your manhood, and dealing with the torment of your natural desires. Author R. T. Ellis is the first to admit that he didnt always make the best decisions. Here, he shares his lust-filled and hormone-fueled past in raging detail, hoping to inspire others to learn from his mistakes. Acting out of lust instead of using his heart or brain put him in some dangerous situations. Some nearly cost him his life, while others threatened his freedom and future. Often brutally honest, his story takes readers deep into his past adventuressome he himself describes as good, others as bad, and more still as downright disgraceful, degrading, demeaning, and disgusting. At his core, he now knows, is a crippling lack of self-esteem and respect for himself and his sexual partners. Somewhere along the line, the immature boy has grown into an introspective man who needs to share his story. The father of three, R. T. is trying to move beyond the misadventures of his past. It is for his children that he has come face to face with his history; in his story, others may see themselvesand the future that awaits.

Brightwood

Poems

By: R. T. Smith

Written in the gothic tradition of James Dickey’s Buckdancer’s Choice, Brightwood contains thirty-eight poems set in the American South. This intellectual and emotionally powerful collection is an interplay of southern music, religion, and culture with nature. Driven by memories of life in the rural, segregated South, the poems seek out beauty in an attempt to stave off loneliness, pain, and loss. The lyrics are moving, the language crackles, and the past haunts every verse.
