At just twelve years of age, Kathy met Kris, age fifteen, and it was love at first sight. Before her lay the journey of engagement and marriage to a man who would become an influential leader at Bethel Church; raising children while being part of one of the most influential Spirit-filled networks on the globe; and her own involvement in leadership--sparking a movement with her husband that has impacted much of the world.In this unfiltered, messy, and exciting narrative, Bethel Church matriarch Kathy Vallotton traces her life with Kris as she recounts their early married life, his heart-wrenching nervous breakdown, troubling financial setbacks, the jarring experience of living with a prophet, learning to develop a healthy kingdom culture at home--and how she grew to trust God in the midst of it all.

A lost treasure. A riddled quest. The healing power of friendship.Legends are tucked into every fold of the Colorado mountains surrounding the quaint town of Mercy Peak, where residents are the stuff of tall tales, the peaks are taller still, and a lost treasure has etched mystery into the very terrain.In 1948, when outsider Mercy Windsor arrives after a scandal shatters her gilded world as Hollywood's beloved leading lady, she is determined to forge a new life in obscurity in this time-forgotten Colorado haven. She purchases Wildwood, an abandoned estate with a haunting history, and begins to restore it to its former glory.But as she does, her every move tugs at the threads of the mountain's lore, unearthing what became of her long-lost pen pal Rusty Bright, and the whereabouts of the infamous Galloping Goose Railcar No. 8, which vanished years ago--along with the mailbag it carried, whose contents could change the course of countless lives. Not to mention the fabled treasure that--if found--could right so many wrongs.Among the towering mountains that stand as silent witnesses, the ghosts of the past entangle with the courage of the present to find a place where healing, friendship, and hope can abide amid a world forever changed.

End-Times Prophecy Does Not Need to Be Complicated Or Confusing... "Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming." --Matthew 24:42The words of Jesus remind Christians that--even though we do not know the date when He will return--we need to have our finger on the pulse of what is happening morally, spiritually, and politically in our world. And with the increasing chaos, division, and war happening today, it is right to ask, "Are we living in the end times now?" In this book, Dr. Robert Jeffress provides biblical answers to seven frequently asked questions about the future: 1. What Does the Bible Mean by the End Times?2. What Role Does Israel Play in the End Times?3. What News Events Signal the End Times?4. What Are the Major Events of the End Times?5. What's the Difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming in the End Times?6. Why Has God Delayed the End Times?7. How Do I Prepare for the End Times?Getting answers to these questions--and understanding the phenomenal events that are going to happen before the revelation of the King of kings and Lord of lords--helps believers face the future with hope and confidence.Dr. Robert Jeffress is senior pastor of the sixteen-thousand-member First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, and a Fox News contributor. He has made more than four thousand guest appearances on various radio and television programs and regularly appears on major mainstream media outlets such as Fox News Channel's Fox & Friends, Hannity, Fox News @ Night, and Varney & Co., as well as HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher.

Introducing a Theology of Black GirlhoodKhristi Lauren Adams's faith was shaped by her experiences as a Black girl. Drawing on her life story as well as the life stories of other Black girls, Womanish Theology centers their experiences as a rich source of spiritual teaching for us all.This book introduces a new branch of thought Adams calls womanish theology, a play on the womanist tradition (the theology of Black womanhood). By exploring how prayer, salvation, suffering, hospitality, and more play out in many Black girls' lives, she helps us discover that theology is for everyone and that the whole community of God can learn from their insights. "This is required reading for all of us!"--Candice Marie Benbow, author of Red Lip Theology"I found myself reclaiming and cherishing anew my own Black girl spiritual development journey."--Christina H. Edmondson, certified cultural intelligence facilitator, public speaker, mental health therapist, and coauthor of Faithful Antiracism"A bold and brave exploration of the spiritual lives of Black girls and adolescents."--Jonathan Lee Walton, president, Princeton Theological Seminary; author of Watch This! and A Lens of Love

Setting the Story Straight about Mary MagdaleneMary Magdalene's life was transformed when she was healed by Christ and joined his ministry from Galilee to Jerusalem. The Gospels teach that she was also a witness at the cross and the first one sent by Christ to preach his resurrection. Yet her story is often confused, scandalized, and undervalued by the church. In The Mary We Forgot, award-winning church historian and theologian Jennifer Powell McNutt unpacks Scripture and history to reveal the real Mary Magdalene: the first apostle of the good news and a model of discipleship for both men and women today."By helping us find the real Mary, this book does what Mary's own story does. It points us to Jesus, the King and Savior who healed her and changed her life."--Esau McCaulley (from the foreword)"At a time when we have forgotten so many biblical women, this book calls us to remember one of the most crucial. Take up and read!"--Beth Allison Barr, professor, Baylor University; bestselling author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood"It is difficult to praise this book too highly. I commend it to all who want to follow Jesus, especially those interested in the attention, dignity, and tasks of ministry that he gave (and gives) to women in the church. Highly recommended!"--Tish Harrison Warren, Anglican priest, former New York Times columnist, and author of Liturgy of the Ordinary and Prayer in the Night"The fanciful story of prostitute-turned-saint makes for good drama, but what does Scripture really say about this Mary? McNutt rightly dwells on what the Gospels teach: her faith and deep devotion to Jesus. This was a delight to read."--Nijay K. Gupta, professor, Northern Seminary; author of Tell Her Story"A rich and provocative book that brings the larger biblical narrative to life again."--Karen Swallow Prior, author of The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis"McNutt leaves no stone unturned in her quest for the real Mary Magdalene. This book was a joy to read!"--Carmen Joy Imes, associate professor, Talbot School of Theology; author of Being God's Image and Bearing God's Name

Rooted in honesty, practicality, and biblical guidance, this deeply personal collection of letters explores the unique challenges women face, whether they lead in the workplace, classroom, church, or home."Amy Orr-Ewing has written another book that every female Christ follower must read."--Rev. Lisa Wink Schultz, Chief of Staff, US Senate Chaplain"Amy's letter-writing style provides women with digestible key lessons for leading in the church, in the family, and in the workplace--or in all three. The wisest of men will seek out this book as well."--Elizabeth Berridge, Baroness Berridge of the Vale of Catmose"A manual for every faithful female pioneer who wishes not just to survive but to flourish in the workplace and in life."--Ilaria Chan, chairwoman, Tech for Good Institute"Orr-Ewing equips female leaders for stewardship while at the same time successfully stewarding others on every page of this book."--Megan Fate Marshman, speaker and author

"A deeply personal account of seeing God's faithfulness"In early 2022, Richard Bauckham nearly lost his ability to read--an alarming prospect for a man who considers reading, writing, and scholarly work to be his vocation from God. Despite it being one of the most difficult times of his life, it was also a period in which he felt closest to God.In this beautifully written book, Bauckham combines memoir, theological and biblical reflection, and poetry to offer profound insight into God's providence amid life's difficulties."Not only is Bauckham a world-class scholar and a poet of wisdom and subtlety, but it seems he can write of a 'difficult journey with God' in a way that puts him alongside some of the great spiritual writers of the past. The Blurred Cross has all the makings of a fresh Christian classic. You will finish the book profoundly grateful, not only to Bauckham for having written it, but even more, to the God who so obviously inspired it."--Jeremy Begbie, Duke Divinity School"This book is striking in its vulnerability and clarity, as it weaves together the warp of human experience with the weft of scriptural study, theological reflection, and poetical imagination. The result is a rich tapestry that displays God's loving care, to encourage and challenge anyone who reads."--Elizabeth E. Shively, George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University"It is rare that a book by a scholar evokes a longing for a deeper faith, but in sharing his brush with blindness, Bauckham models the fruit of a lifetime of faithfulness. Bringing to his story the full weight of his immense intellect and literary depth, and sharing his own poetry and prayers, he gives a deeply personal account of seeing God's faithfulness and brings encouragement that testing is not in vain."--Mariam Kamell Kovalishyn, Regent College

This up-to-date introduction to the study of the New Testament's use of the Old Testament surveys the current state of the discipline, summarizes the scholarly conversation, illuminates the New Testament writers' respect for Old Testament contexts, proposes advances in classification and terminology, and provides resources for further work in the field.New Testament scholar Douglas Huffman suggests a way beyond the impasse concerning the terminology used by scholars in the discipline. He offers a new approach to identifying and interpreting Old Testament quotations, allusions, and echoes by exploring not just the forms but also the features, framings, and functions of the New Testament use of the Old Testament. Huffman demonstrates the advantages of his approach by analyzing how the Old Testament is used in Luke-Acts and thus provides a model that can be applied to other New Testament authors' use of Old Testament Scripture."In the crowded field of New Testament use of the Old Testament, Huffman's book stands out for its methodological rigor. Interacting with a broad range of the literature on this topic, Huffman proposes several taxonomies in an effort to bring some semblance of order to a confusing mishmash of approaches and methods. A genuine contribution."--Douglas J. Moo, Wheaton College (emeritus)"Had the evangelist Luke authored this book, perhaps he might have prefaced it along these lines: 'Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a research methodology for the New Testament use of the Old Testament, it seemed good to me also, having followed for some time their proposals and theological intentions, to write a rigorous treatise on such matters for you, most excellent student of the Word, that you may gain expertise in this fascinating field of biblical research.'"--Radu Gheorghita, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

"The most important and, indeed, exciting book on the resurrection to have emerged in half a century"In this book, Murray Rae explains that the resurrection is the turning point of history and the decisive clue to what is going on in the world. Rae investigates what it means to participate in the resurrection life made possible through encounter with the risen Lord."This is the most important and, indeed, exciting book on the resurrection to have emerged in half a century. Rigorous biblical scholarship and profound theological insight define the discussion throughout. This is obligatory reading for theologians and an ideal seminar text. But it should also be read by all those who are serious about understanding the defining affirmation at the heart of the Christian faith and its radical significance."--Alan J. Torrance, University of St. Andrews (emeritus)"In this beautifully written, biblically rooted, and theologically rich work, Rae explores the demand the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ places on scholars and Christians alike. He offers a refreshing vision for the academy and the church."--Lucy Peppiatt, Westminster Theological Centre"Resurrection and Renewal is both learned and theologically formative, even edifying, as befits theological engagement with the central claim that 'Christ is risen.'"--Joel B. Green, Fuller Theological Seminary"Written in an accessible style, this book edifies as much as it educates, reminding and demonstrating to readers that the resurrection of Jesus has truly changed everything."--Christa L. McKirland, Carey Baptist College; executive director, Logia International"Accepting Rae's invitation to read this book not as an apologetic for the resurrection but as an exercise in faith seeking understanding, one is treated handsomely to biblical exegesis and theology that resonate with the practice of the theological interpretation of Scripture."--Edmund Fong, Trinity Theological College

The Old Testament volumes in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series integrate the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with the traditional understanding of the Old Testament as prophesying and prefiguring Christ. Accessibly written yet substantive, series volumes include quotations from Church documents, Church Fathers, and saints.In this commentary on Ezekiel, Daniel Keating interprets Scripture from within the living tradition of the Church to help pastoral ministers, lay readers, and students understand the Bible more deeply and use it more effectively."Daniel Keating provides more than a reliable and readable guide to the book of Ezekiel. Through his judicious selection of biblical intertexts, early Christian interpretations, and Church traditions, he reveals and illuminates the book's many exegetical puzzles and theological challenges as well as its significance for modern people of faith. This is a welcome addition to the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture."--William Tooman, University of St. Andrews"Keating's work on Ezekiel provides clarity on a challenging Old Testament prophet! The reader of his commentary will find it useful on several levels."--Donna Petter, Gordon-Conwell Theological SeminaryPraise for the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture"The New Testament volumes in this series have served me as a constant resource: deeply scholarly, firmly in touch with the Catholic tradition, and impressively readable and teachable. But among Christians today, the Old Testament often is neglected or treated as unintelligible--with the result being a tragic impoverishment of faith. All Catholics should have these trustworthy volumes at hand."--Matthew Levering, Mundelein SeminaryFor more information on the series, visit www.CatholicScriptureCommentary.com

"A tremendous resource for understanding a key concept in the first century"This examination of the heavenly temple in the New Testament within its Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts demonstrates that the ministry of Jesus gives believers access to the very dwelling place of God himself."This is a marvelous, illuminating book that puts the idea of the heavenly sanctuary back where it belongs--at the heart of early Christian thought. This is an insight that has been gathering strength in recent years, but Moore presents the definitive case, and Hebrews is central to that case. This perceptive study is a major contribution to our understanding of the message of that marginalized book."--Philip Alexander, Centre for Jewish Studies, University of Manchester; Fellow of the British Academy"Readers will be grateful for the clarity of Moore's prose and the rigor of his scholarship and, even more, for his new taxonomy for understanding the pervasiveness and variety of conceptions of heaven and temple in the biblical world. Moore also encourages a wide and deep reading of ancient texts to answer a modern problem: flat materialism. In an age starved for meaning, The Open Sanctuary sparks a reenchantment of the cosmos, an ability to perceive the majesty of space and time and the access we have to God through Jesus Christ."--Amy Peeler, Wheaton College"This book is a tremendous resource for understanding a key concept in the first century: the heavenly worship space. Moore provides an introduction to the concept in Jewish literature, useful analyses of New Testament texts where this theme appears, and a more compelling vision of what is to come."--Madison N. Pierce, Western Theological Seminary"A very useful contribution to temple studies in the New Testament. Moore's fourfold taxonomy, delineating the spectrum of heavenly sanctuary portrayals in ancient literature, brings clarity to the topic and will surely be foundational for future studies. The Open Sanctuary will open new vistas for many readers on the New Testament's proclamation of heavenly access to God in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ."--L. Michael Morales, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

"A thorough and insightful exploration of the complexities of American Christianity"Leading church historian Mark Granquist offers a comprehensive, up-to-date, accessible history of Christianity in America from the arrival of Europeans to the present day."Mark Granquist's A History of Christianity in America deftly explores Christianity's vigorously complex expressions across three-plus centuries of American life. Here are the major European denominations, African American communities, startling American-born groups, and invigorating immigrants. We see the changing roles of women, fateful engagements with slavery, revivalists and theologians, war and peace, political interventions, and domestic and world missions--all in one clear, cogent volume. A masterly, fascinating account."--Jon Butler, Yale University (emeritus)"American Christianity is an incredible mosaic, and Mark Granquist captures its vibrancy in this lively and engaging history. Students and specialists alike will appreciate the insight and clarity he brings to every topic, from the rise of state churches in colonial America to the 'God gap' between Republicans and Democrats in today's US politics. A superb resource for the classroom or for anyone seeking a reliable guide to Christianity in America."--Peter J. Thuesen, Indiana University Indianapolis"Mark Granquist's A History of Christianity in America offers a thorough and insightful exploration of the complexities of American Christianity, weaving historical depth with modern reflections. This book provides a compelling narrative that both scholars and general readers will find invaluable for understanding how Christian traditions have shaped, and been shaped by, American culture."--Ryan Burge, Eastern Illinois University

Foundations for Spirit-Filled ChristianityJerry Ireland, Paul W. Lewis, and Frank D. Macchia, series editorsEmphasizing the transformative nature of reading Scripture, this introduction to biblical interpretation helps readers engage with the beauty of God's Word and read it holistically for their intellectual and spiritual growth."As you would expect and even hope, this book on biblical interpretation by a couple of Pentecostal scholars is not your traditional kind of introduction to the topic: It's personal. It's passionate. It's prayerful. It's pneumatic. It's practical. But it does the traditional things as well. It talks about inspiration and history, and it is wide-ranging and broad-minded. It will build people up so they can get the most out of the Bible."--John Goldingay, Fuller Theological Seminary"In this volume, two seasoned teachers tell stories about the church, biblical interpretation, and their own personal histories with the Bible. They do so not only with an eye to enabling wise interpretation but also with the typical Pentecostal emphasis on right actions and affections. This introduction exhibits a deep commitment to and trust in Scripture and is warmly welcomed by this teacher who is also living God's story and inviting students into it."--Holly Beers, Westmont College"Grey and Lewis are to be commended for producing an introductory textbook that is pedagogically exemplary. It covers all the ground that students new to the subject are expected to know. Technical terms are kept to a minimum and clearly explained. Its distinctive Charismatic and global dimensions of interpretation should appeal to a wide readership."--Simon Chan, editor, Asia Journal of TheologyPraise for the Foundations for Spirit-Filled Christianity Series"The church and academy are finally ready for Foundations for Spirit-Filled Christianity, which relays the insights and perspectives of mature Pentecostal and Charismatic theologians and biblical scholars on a broad array of important theological topics, doctrinal loci, and practical realities."--Amos Yong, Fuller Theological Seminary

"This may well be the best--even the ideal--textbook on this corpus for classroom (and personal) use"This survey textbook offers an accessible introduction to the wisdom books and the Psalter in their literary, theological, and canonical contexts. Christopher Ansberry pays particular attention to theological themes in Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, the Song of Songs, and Psalms, skillfully connecting these themes to comparable themes in the other books discussed in the volume and to the broader biblical canon. He also integrates philosophical concerns and questions."Do not let the size of this concise volume fool you: Ansberry provides here an attractive and accessible but also remarkably thorough, completely up-to-date, and highly learned introduction to Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, and the Psalms. I was repeatedly both instructed and impressed. This may well be the best--even the ideal--textbook on this corpus for classroom (and personal) use currently available."--Brent A. Strawn, Duke University"This creative and informative book offers, like Lady Wisdom, a rich and interactive feast to its readers. In this rich survey of wisdom literature and Psalms, Ansberry offers a profound set of theological readings that celebrates the way Christians have imbibed and ingested these ancient texts over many centuries. His engaging chapters delve deep into the biblical texts and celebrate their reception by artists, sculptors, and dramatists as well as by many generations of scholars and believers."--Katharine Dell, University of Cambridge"Taking its cue from Saint Anselm's definition of theology, Ansberry's introduction is a masterful treatment of the wisdom literature, Psalms, and Song of Songs. It engagingly addresses literary, theological, and historical issues, canonical connections, and reception history, including artistic representation. It is an ideal textbook that will engage students on a multitude of levels."--William P. Brown, Columbia Theological Seminary"I've been studying and writing on Psalms and the books in the wisdom tradition of the Old Testament for over four decades, and Ansberry's new book helped expand my understanding of these fascinating books. He writes in an extremely accessible style, so whether you are a new student or a veteran of this literature, you will come to a better understanding of the literary, theological, and canonical contribution of these books. I enthusiastically recommend this book not only for the classroom but also for all who want to grow in their knowledge of these biblical books, for as they do, they will grow in their knowledge of God."--Tremper Longman III, Westmont College (emeritus)

"Erudite and theologically sophisticated"This book offers a striking biblical and theological account of the doctrine of sin in dialogue with difficult questions from the natural sciences, helping readers engage with controversial debates surrounding human origins, the fall, and original sin."A brave and bracing argument for prioritizing dogma over Darwin--and for retaining the doctrine of original sin as essential to biblical realism, coherent systematic theology, and the gospel itself."--Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"This intelligent and well-researched book encourages Christians to respect scientific findings, while affirming the epistemic primacy of Scripture in our post-Darwinian age. It is a gift to the church."--Mary Vanden Berg, Calvin Theological Seminary"This is the most erudite and theologically sophisticated defense of 'young earth creationism' that I have read. Madueme makes a spirited defense of his position even as he admits that the evidence against it appears daunting. The result is a work that is exemplary in its humility and helpful even, or perhaps especially, for someone who (like me) has significant disagreements with the position defended."--Thomas H. McCall, Asbury Theological Seminary"This is one of the most detailed, perceptive, and well-researched critiques of theistic evolution I have ever seen. Even though at the end of the day the book's main argument has not convinced me, I profoundly benefited from Madueme's sound scholarship and from the countless pertinent observations he makes along the way."--Gijsbert van den Brink, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam"Madueme's foundation of 'biblical realism' is a methodological breath of fresh air--we might say piercingly menthol fresh. No doubt it will be arresting to some, but it is vital in defending biblical authority, the health of the evangelical doctrinal ecosystem, and the constructive engagement of science dogmatically rather than evidentially. Highly recommended."--Daniel Strange, Crosslands Forum
