Book Description
In these masterfully written letters to heaven, Calvin Miller thanks, lovingly reflects on-and sometimes confesses his regrets to -the departed influences in his life. Some are names familiar to us all (C. S. Lewis, Todd Beamer, Oscar Wilde); others he knew well; and some he only admired from a distance. But all brought a brightness to his life or challenged him to live more fully in some way. Aware that eternity for any of us is only a step away, Miller has sought to complete the unfinished business of life by writing letters to the great beyond. This moving work will not only elicit a desire in readers to reconcile all things unfinished, but teach the living about the importance of people and the treasure of faith while holding out for us all the hope that awaits..

Book Description
As we face the realities of our broken world, where misunderstanding and violence tear people apart and sickness ravages the globe, we reach out for some hope to hold on to. The greatest hope we have is the promise of heaven. But so many of us know so little about what awaits us after this life is over, and what we do know is often influenced far more by TV and movies than God's Word. With powerful biblical truths drawn from his bestselling book A Place Called Heaven, Dr. Robert Jeffress offers much-needed comfort, hope, and encouragement to the hurting and fearful in a portable and easily digestible format. Filled with inspiring Scripture, breathtaking photos, and words of wisdom, this beautiful book is the perfect gift for anyone going through stressful times, struggling with chronic illness, or grieving the loss of a loved one.

Book Description
Jesus is King. Standing as a central theme of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus's kingly authority has profound implications for how we live in the world and interact with those around us. In this reader-friendly commentary, seasoned pastor Doug O'Donnell leads us through the first book of the New Testament, highlighting key themes and offering helpful illustrations for preaching. Drawing on years of pastoral experience, O'Donnell shows how Matthew's various emphases—including Jesus's messianic titles, fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, teaching on the kingdom of heaven, and present and future role as judge—all relate to Christ's kingship. Designed to help pastors faithfully preach God's Word, this commentary ultimately highlights Matthew's call to all people to worship and obey Jesus, our humble King and gracious Savior. Part of the Preaching the Word series.
