Literary Approaches To The Bible
$27.99
The study of the Bible has long included a literary aspect with great attention paid not only to what was written but also to how it was expressed. The detailed analysis of biblical books and passages as written texts has benefited from the study of literature in classical philology, ancient rhetoric, and modern literary criticism. This volume of the Lexham Methods Series introduces the various ways the study of literature has been used in biblical studies. Most literary approaches emphasize the study of the text alone–its structure, its message, and its use of literary devices–rather than its social or historical background. The methods described in Literary Approaches to the Bible are focused on different ways of analyzing the text within its literary context. Some of the techniques have been around for centuries, but the theories of literary critics from the early 20th century to today had a profound impact on biblical interpretation. In this book, you will learn about those literary approaches, how they were adapted for biblical studies, and what their strengths and weaknesses are.

Life Of Our Lord By Charles Dickens
$14.99The Life of Our Lord is a unique and special book in that it, more than any other, reflects Dickens’ love of God and faith in Jesus Christ. Within its pages, the great novelist unfolds the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, hand-written in the beautiful “Dickensian” prose the world has come to adore, specifically for his own children during their earlier years.
This biographical sketch is not intended as a detailed chronology of the author’s life and writings, but instead is primarily a reflection on the heart of the man and the primary motivation behind his great literary works–his faith in Christ and his love for his fellow man.
With humility and adoration, we add this precious book to the distinguished Pure Gold Classics collection in anticipation and expectation that young and old alike will be richly blessed by the simplicity and warmth of the story of the life of our Savior that Dickens left as a blessing to the world and a glorious testimony of his own personal relationship with the Lord.

Keeping The Cross Central (Revised)
$15.99Teen Challenge, also known as Adult and Teen Challenge, was founded as an evangelistic outreach to drug addicts in Brooklyn, New York City. As a holistic Christian ministry with the life-changing message of the gospel, this faith-based rehabilitation program was created with the vision that God can redeem the whole person, starting on day one of the program. This unique approach has produced success rates of over 70% for those who complete the rehabilitation program. However, as Teen Challenge has grown worldwide, with over 1,400+ centers in 129 countries, some centers are now turning to secular methods in order to access government funding. As co-founder of Teen Challenge, Don Wilkerson raises a warning flag on this mission drift: the power of the Cross, which brings about a changed life, must be the priority in treating drug addiction; if the Cross is not central to the mission of any Teen Challenge center, then it is not worthy of using the name “Teen Challenge.” The ministry must never lose its vision and focus in bringing men and women to Christ-through the gospel and discipleship-and stay faithful to the original mission which the founders stood upon.
