Book Description
"Few books on Bible study method both explain how and show how. Fewer still seek to do this by utilizing current biblical scholarship while writing for informed lay people. Virtually no books with the objective demonstrate a competent grasp of both the linguistic and historical school of biblical interpretation. From Word to Life fills the gap with this distinctive contribution. Written clearly, it should enjoy wide usage, especially in the classroom setting.The book is not written for the beginner in Bible study; its best use will be by those who, having already started on the pilgrimage of Bible study, are at least minimally acquainted with the historical-critical method and have thought some about how language works. Because of its clarity and scope, it will reward both the serious student and the seasoned professor of biblical studies."--Willard M. Swartley"The inductive Bible study method presented in this book is motivated by three objectives. The first is to show the reasonableness of the way biblical scholars work with the Bible. . . . A second motive is to present these methods or ways of study in such a manner that others can also appropriate them for their own use. . . . Third, and perhaps most importantly, it is hoped that through an acquaintance with good Bible study methodology, discernment may be gained as to what constitutes valid and invalid uses and interpretations of Scripture."--Perry Yoder, in the Preface

Scripture and Counseling
Author: Bob Kellemen
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310516846
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
What role does Scripture play in counseling? Today, we face a weakening of confidence in the Bible. This is just as true for the pastor offering counsel in his office as it is for the person in the pew talking with a struggling friend. We need to regain our confidence in God's living Word as sufficient to address the real-life issues we face today. Scripture and Counseling will help you understand how the Bible equips us to grow in counseling competence as we use it to tackle the complex issues of life. Divided into two sections, Part One develops a robust biblical view of Scripture’s sufficiency for "life and godliness" leading to increased confidence in God's Word. Part Two teaches how to use Scripture in the counseling process. This section demonstrates how a firm grasp of the sufficiency of Scripture leads to increased competence in the ancient art of personally ministering God's Word to others. Part of the Biblical Counseling Coalition series, Scripture and Counseling brings you the wisdom of twenty ministry leaders who write so you can have confidence that God’s Word is sufficient, necessary, and relevant to equip God’s people to address the complex issues of life in a broken world. It blends theological wisdom with practical expertise and is accessible to pastors, church leaders, counseling practitioners, and students, equipping them to minister the truth and power of God’s word in the context of biblical counseling, soul care, spiritual direction, pastoral care, and small group facilitation.

Book Description
The New Testament books were written to be read aloud. The original audiences of these texts would have been unfamiliar with our current practice of reading silently and processing with our eyes rather than our ears, so we can learn much about the New Testament through performing it ourselves. Richard Ward and David Trobisch are here to help. Bringing the Word to Life walks the reader through what we know about the culture of performance in the first and second centuries, what it took to perform an early New Testament manuscript, the benefits of performance for teaching, and practical suggestions for exploring New Testament texts through performance today.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 87
Book Description
It was that great worshipper David that said, In Thy Presence is fullness of joy, at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore (Ps. 16:11). A good devotional will help you get in the presence of God. This devotional will enhance your time of devotion, your special time with the Lord away from your local church. In order to worship God, you must first know God. A Word for Life Devotions will give you the knowledge and the understanding that is needed to really worship God. Each topic is designed to address specific times and places in our lives when it looks like we are far from God, when it looks like God has abandoned us. A good devotional will reveal God in your situation and calamity. God is with his children in good and in bad times, but occasionally we need a little help hearing from God. These devotions will help you hear from God through his word. Our quiet time with God should be a time of peace no matter the conflicts around us. Each of these devotions will help you see yourself in specific situations, causing you to properly adjust and realign your life. Each of these devotions ends in prayer, reminding us to take everything to God in prayer, to pray without ceasing. These devotions will help you get into Gods presence, know God in a powerful way, worship God in spirit and in truth, and help you end your devotion in earnest prayer to God. This devotional will minister to every season of your life. Most of these devotions are quoted from the King James Version of the Bible. However, some of the difficult scripture are quoted from the Amplified and Common English Bibles. If at all possible, keep this devotional with you at all times.
