    About this series

    The Christian Life can have as many heartbreaks as hallelujahs.

    Circumstances confuse us. Sin frustrates us. The devil likes to inflict pain on God's children. Wouldn't it be great if we could go to heaven as soon as we become Christians and skip the confusion, frustration, and pain? Sadly, it doesn't work like that; we have to learn to overcome this world while awaiting the Second Coming. In 1–2 Thessalonians, we are equipped to do just that.

    LIVING & LONGING FOR THE LORD will guide you through Paul's letters to Thessalonica in hopes of helping you become more like Jesus until he returns.

      Exchange your fear for faith. Surrender your story to the divine Author. Genesis is a book of beginnings. It introduces us to several biblical themes, including God's authorship of life. In a world that blames the Creator for disasters and credits luck or karma for life's blessings, God's people need reminding that he is crafting a wondrous story of redemption and grace. Within Genesis, we are called to play the part of faithful children so that we might overcome this world and inherit the one to come. In God's story, we discover how to live out our own. THE EPIC OF GOD will guide you passage-by-passage through the book of Genesis in hopes of deepening your trust in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

      Throughout the political turmoil of 1–2 Kings, God's prophets brought messages of hope, warning, and judgment. For the most part, those messages went unheeded, and a once-glorious nation was ruined. But the mistakes of long-dead kings, not to mention the messages of heroic men of God, offer wisdom to spiritual Israel today. In a world where political power, cultural relevance, and self-sufficiency seduce the church at every turn, 1–2 Kings reverberates with the warning that nothing is more important than submission to the King of kings. Obedience brings life and abundant blessing... rebellion only breeds death, destruction, and suffering. This is the story of HOW TO LOSE A KINGDOM IN 400 YEARS.

      Sometimes blaming God for our problems only blinds us to his providence. Out of the immense moral darkness of the Judges period comes a story of romance, redemption, and hope. The tale of Ruth has inspired countless generations. But Ruth isn't the star in this romantic drama; center stage belongs to God and his providence. Naomi and Ruth traveled the Bethlehem Road—one of famine, abandonment, grief, and loss—unaware that the Lord had gone before them to redeem their heartache. If you've been living with a broken heart—if bitterness and disappointment have been your travel companions on life's road, then Ruth's story will inspire and strengthen you for the journey ahead. More than that, it will bring you to your knees in worship of your Redeemer and King.

      An urgent message for the exiled church. Every day, it seems the world becomes increasingly hostile to Christianity. Values are being scuttled, faith is scorned, and God's people are being marginalized. These difficult times pose two questions to Christians: How can we be the "light of the world" in such abject darkness? And how can God still be in control of all things?  This book will help you answer these questions. More than a guide to Daniel, THE DERISION OF HEAVEN is an urgent message for the exiled church. As you journey through the story and visions of Daniel, you will be awe-struck by the sovereign rule of God, emboldened to live a life that glorifies him, and encouraged to serve in the eternal Kingdom of Heaven.

      Discover the horror of God's international kegger-of-wrath tour. The book of Obadiah may be among the most neglected in the Old Testament. It is a message of divine judgment against Israel's cousins, the Edomites. Descended from Esau, Jacob's brother, the Edomites taunted Israel and celebrated her destruction at the hands of the Babylonians in 586 BC. In response to such arrogance and hatred, a little-known Judaean prophet named Obadiah predicted Esau's doom and Israel's restoration. Obadiah reminds us of God's faithfulness to the humble and lowly, and of his oath to punish and humiliate the wicked.

      Sometimes the most stubborn practitioners of grace are those called to proclaim it. The Book of Jonah tends to be hijacked by a certain marine mammal. But this story has more to do with grace and the gospel than with a giant fish. What if we have been too hard on Jonah? If God asked us to evangelize Middle Eastern terrorists, we might want to go to the other side of the world as well. This whale of a tale—arguably the most well-known of the Minor Prophets—reminds us that God loves even ancient terrorists guilty of war crimes. The story's greatest miracle is the fact that mighty, wicked Nineveh threw herself at God's mercy, and the Lord forgave her. Jonah, however, preferred to pout. His example proves that we respond to evil with anger, bitterness, and hate only because we haven't seen the power of grace in our own lives.
