Have you ever wondered why so many people have different ideas about the Bible? How could one book inspire such disparate concepts and interpretations? In The Bible in Context, Jason Hensley explores why methodology matters: even though the passages in the Bible don't change from person to person, their interpretation does. Yet, the Bible was not intended to be read in whatever way one might want. This book presents a specific methodology for determining what the Bible meant when it was written, and to whom it was written. From there, it suggests ways that the message can apply today––...

What is God's purpose with this earth? What is His purpose for me? Does God care about what happens in my day to day life? God wrote the Bible to inspire. He wrote the Bible to teach you about Him and His principles––and to encourage you to be like Him. This book is meant to aid you in your understanding of the Bible and its message, and to provide a foundation upon which you can better come to know and love God. Meant as a compliment and extension of the book "It is Written," this book presents the good news of the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ in an easy to read way, ...

In 1938 and 1939, the Kindertransport occurred: a movement to bring thousands of Jewish children out of Nazi-occupied territories to safety in Great Britain. These children came without their parents, almost always without a knowledge of English, and also little experience with English culture. They came to a new family, a new country, and a new life. Approximately 250 of these children were sponsored by Christadelphians, a small Christian group.

Christianity and Judaism are two separate religions with two separate approaches to life. Nevertheless, these two religions have often operated in similar spheres, and Christians and Jews have interacted over the centuries. Tragically, even in more modern times, this interaction often culminated in Christian assaults on Jewish communities and forced conversions to Christianity. But this Christian anti-Judaism did not always exist. Originally, Christianity shared its history with Judaism. The first Christians were all Jews. The first Christians used the Jewish Scriptures as their sacred text...

There is a thin wall between our world and that of the Fae. During times of war, it is easily stepped through. The passions and emotions stirred by violence and combat bleed over, and the supernatural often awake from long slumber to meddle in mortal affairs. But there have always been those among us who have been willing to meet the supernatural threat with cold steel, burning hearts, and grim determination.

Now that I understand God’s plan, what do I do with that knowledge? How is the gospel meant to impact my life? Can I keep living the same way that I always have? Beginning with the Bible, Volume 2 is a followup to It is Written and Beginning with the Bible, Volume 1. It tackles the power of the gospel to change our lives––looking at the essential changes that God requires of His followers. Once we have heard the gospel, we cannot stay the same. Knowing the Lord is a life-changing experience, and our knowledge of God’s plan and what He has done for us compels us to a new life. This ...

When Ryan Johnson’s mother was diagnosed with cancer, God took him on a revelatory journey, showing him how prophetic promises are realized. In the midst of her grim diagnosis, Ryan’s mother was having recurring dreams of playing with her adult grandchildren. These dreams were prophetic signposts that the diagnosis would not be a death sentence. This gave Ryan faith to press into God for answers and ...

It is part of our natural tendency as humans to judge one another. We see someone act, and we immediately attempt to ascribe a motive––often the motive that we would have if we were to do the same thing. And yet, this form of judging is completely counter to what God calls us to do. Indeed, we are to judge whether actions are right or wrong, but we cannot judge motivations or character.This book explores why judging isn't in our purview, and why this topic is so crucial for a believer's life. Removing a judgmental attitude can change relationships, can relieve stress and make us more ...

The first volume of this series described the beliefs of the Christadelphians, and told the stories of ten of the children who had left their parents and come to live with Christadelphians via the Kindertransport. This second volume does the same. Just as the first, ten of these child survivors, and their families, give their testimony. Unlike the first volume, however, some of these survivors did not live with Christadelphian families – living instead in Elpis Lodge, the hostel sponsored by Christadelphians in Birmingham. Because of that, this second volume includes further details and ...
