Book Description
Diving into the Gospel of John displays the rich and diverse arguments John presents for his thesis that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing, readers/listeners will find eternal life. John's arguments are developed in four parts. The first two chapters develop the author's literary techniques that are often based on ambiguity and his key symbols and concepts, the understanding of which are essential to fully appreciate the Gospel. Chapters 3 through 6 progressively portray the author's evidence for his thesis in the form of signs, testimony of those who encounter Jesus, Jesus's self-identification, and Jesus's relationships to others. Chapters 7 and 8 show how the author uses theatrically patterned dialogues and triadic discourses to convey Jesus's identity and mission. Finally, chapters 9 through 11 provide important hints that the author gives for his thesis: Jesus's appeals to time, the indirect use of seven as the number of completeness, and invocation of parentage in pointing to salvation. Through diving into the Gospel, readers will discover the richness of John's argument, the Jesus he portrays, and the God Jesus reveals. The book aims to stimulate commitment, challenge mind and spirit, and encourage further reflection and conversation.

Book Description
The author writes: John 3:16 is often referred to as 'the gospel in a nutshell'. I believe it is one of the most mistranslated verses in the Bible. Like most Christians I totally misunderstood the verse. So I am warning you now that I may spoil John 3:16 for you for the rest of your life. But I hope that this book will also give you the true meaning of what is a wonderful message, and a very important one, especially for Christians.

Book Description
“This book will prove to be a most effective weapon… against the debunking and skeptical attitudes toward the Gospels that are so prevalent, not only in academe, but also on the street, among young people who, sadly, are leaving the Churches in droves.” – Robert Barron, author of Catholicism For well over a hundred years now, many scholars have questioned the historical truth of the Gospels, claiming that they were originally anonymous. Others have even argued that Jesus of Nazareth did not think he was God and never claimed to be divine. In The Case for Jesus, Dr. Brant Pitre, the bestselling author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, goes back to the sources—the biblical and historical evidence for Christ—in order to answer several key questions, including: • Were the four Gospels really anonymous? • Are the Gospels folklore? Or are they biographies? • Were the four Gospels written too late to be reliable? • What about the so-called “Lost Gospels,” such as “Q” and the Gospel of Thomas? • Did Jesus claim to be God? • Is Jesus divine in all four Gospels? Or only in John? • Did Jesus fulfill the Jewish prophecies of the Messiah? • Why was Jesus crucified? • What is the evidence for the Resurrection? As The Case for Jesus will show, recent discoveries in New Testament scholarship, as well as neglected evidence from ancient manuscripts and the early church fathers, together have the potential to pull the rug out from under a century of skepticism toward the traditional Gospels. Above all, Pitre shows how the divine claims of Jesus of Nazareth can only be understood by putting them in their ancient Jewish context.

Book Description
Obtain your freedom while diving deeper into God's plan for your life with this daily discipleship field guide. Diving Deeper demonstrates how to obtain freedom from every form of bondage and how to achieve positive, measureable results in daily life through the personal empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Additionally, this field guide provides Holy Spirit guidance for the personal application of scripture for every challenge of life. Diving Deeper is written in a daily format to encourage the habit of seeking God every day so that personal spiritual growth can take place.In Matthew 28:18, the last command Jesus gave His followers was to "go and make disciples". A "disciple" is a "disciplined learner". Someone who is a "church member" is not necessarily a "disciple". This discipleship field guide is for anyone who wants to be a "disciplined learner" by growing in knowledge of the Scriptures, and being led by the Holy Spirit to apply the Word to every life situation.Jesus came to restore us to relationship with our Heavenly Father. The Holy Spirit is our Teacher, Counselor, Friend, Helper and Guide. Committing a block of time daily with Him is a key to growing in relationship to our Father.This book helps the believer establish the discipline of spending time daily in the Word, and with the Holy Spirit. Seeking God earnestly every day results in personal spiritual growth and rewards (Hebrews 11:6)."I was bound in prisons of my own making - addictions, pride, depression, anger, bi-polar illness, un-forgiveness, shame, regret, etc. - long before I was incarcerated behind the steel bars and razor wire of a penal institution. The Truth I found in Jesus and His Word by His Holy Spirit set me free long before I was released to the free world. God did it for me; He will for you." Stephen Canup is the President of Freedom in Jesus Prison Ministries and author of other books including Jail-House Religion: From Park Avenue... to Park Bench... to Prison, and also Knowing the One Who Leads You: 100 Days of Holy Spirit Fellowship.
