Revelation Verse By Verse
$32.99Add to cartRevelation is like no other book in the New Testament. Its bizarre images need explaining even for seasoned Bible readers, but when we turn to biblical scholars we find that they don’t all agree.
In Revelation Verse by Verse, Grant R. Osborne offers a clear exposition of the book that takes seriously both its first-century context and what it means today. Where he disagrees with other interpretations of particular images, he briefly mentions them but remains focused on the text throughout. Rather than being a book that stirs up fear, Revelation is instead a hopeful and even devotional book, focused on the certainty of God’s bringing his plans to completion, the futility of Satan and his plans, and the glory of the Lamb.
Revelation Verse by Verse is the first volume in the Osborne New Testament Commentaries, a new series from noted Bible scholar Grant R. Osborne directed toward pastors and committed laypeople.

1-3 John
$69.99Add to cartThe Evangelical Exegetical Commentary series, written from an evangelical perspective, incorporates the latest in biblical scholarship. It combines historical, literary, and theological explanations with ideas for applying the Bible to everyday life.
In 1, 2, & 3 John, Gary Derickson explores how John communicates his pastoral concerns in his three epistles. Interacting with the most recent scholarship, Derickson focuses on John’s message and concerns rather than following the common theory of a Johannine school and secessionist polemic. He distinguishes pastoral and polemical elements within John’s message and recognizes John’s own assessment of his readers’ faith. By encouraging his readers to express God’s love through active involvement in one other’s lives, John shows that he is concerned not with how we possess eternal life but with how we express it as we relate to God.

Galatians
$22.99Add to cartBenefit from the incredible wisdom of Charles Spurgeon, passage by passage. Spurgeon’s writings on the Bible fill dozens of volumes; his thoughts on particular passages are scattered across numerous books and sermons. This volume collects his thoughts on Galatians in a commentary format, with illustrations and applications culled from his sermons and writings.
The Spurgeon Commentary: Galatians makes Spurgeon’s content accessible-there’s no longer a need to comb through many volumes looking for one nugget of wisdom. Spurgeon’s writings are now curated in a format that is tied directly to the biblical text.
The commentary directs you to places where Spurgeon explicitly cites or alludes to a verse, using specialized, technology-based research to offer you the best of Spurgeon. It highlights illustration content: illustrations accompany the commentary and are tagged with preaching themes, so the preacher looking for an illustration relating to either a topic or a verse will be able to find one easily. It highlights application content: each section of Scripture includes at least one application from Spurgeon based on those verses. It saves time: reading Spurgeon for pleasure is wonderful, but preachers and teachers working under deadlines need ways to streamline their sermon preparation process. This commentary does all this by trimming the excess out of Spurgeon’s sermon archive and increasing functionality, usability, and readability. Outdated language has even been updated, making Spurgeon’s writing easier than ever to understand.

Be Dynamic Acts 1-12
$16.99Add to cart“The ministry of the Holy Spirit is not a luxury; it is an absolute necessity,” writes celebrated author and respected pastor Warren Wiersbe. In his first of two books covering Acts, Be Dynamic focuses on Peter’s ministry, mostly in Israel and centered in Jerusalem. Through explaining Luke’s record of the Gospel’s advancement and church expansion, Wiersbe opens the door to understanding the work of the church today.
Using hard-hitting quotes from recognized names like St. Augustine and John Bunyan, Wiersbe proves himself as a well-read author and gifted writer. The depth of his study is astounding, yet the accessibility of his text for every age group is evident as well. He proves what Luke intended-for Acts to be interpreted not as the apostles’ glorious acts, but as the life-changing acts of the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit lives in believers today, the same God calls followers to expand His church, and the same basic problems still arise within the church, but the same power available then is still available now to change the nations.

Be Hopeful 1 Peter
$16.99Add to cartHow to Win When Fiery Trials Come
The people who first read Peter’s epistle were familiar with suffering and persecution because of their loyalty to Christ. But Peter warned that something new would soon happen: a “fiery trial” of official persecution was about to begin. Peter wanted to tell them how they could be triumphant for the glory of God. We can expect to suffer for our faith, but we can also be hopeful. God’s grace is ours for the asking! Suffering in the will of God leads to the glory of God.
We can prepare for the best of God’s blessings rather than fear the worst of man’s hatred.
Look to Jesus Christ and BE HOPEFUL

Be Patient Job
$16.99Add to cartWhy does God allow bad things to happen to good people? Warren W. Wiersbe tackles this question as he explores the life of Job in his commentary Be Patient. Through Job’s story, we are reminded of God’s sovereignty and encouraged to endure the suffering in our own lives.
In a single day, Job’s wealth was plundered, his ten children were killed, and his health was taken. His friends judged him and his wife did not stand by her man.

In addition to restoring his wealth and relationships, God gave Job a much greater blessing: a deeper knowledge of Himself and His ways.

Be Comforted Isaiah
$16.99Add to cartWhere Do You Turn for Comfort When . . .
* Circumstances frighten you?
* Sin makes you feel guilty?
* All your plans fall apart?
* The future holds no hope?
For anyone who thinks that comfort is equivalent to pity and that it is only priceless to those who need an emotional crutch, best-selling author Warren Wiersbe applies the words of the prophet Isaiah to prove that God’s comfort is no such thing. The word comfort actually translates “to repent” in Hebrew; our English translation, however, adds another dimension to the word since it originated from two Latin words meaning “with strength.”
With definitions and insights like this, the “pastor of pastors” and phenomenal author Warren Wiersbe continues to enliven the Scriptures as he weaves the words of Isaiah with historical explanations and thought-provoking questions for every chapter, creating a study guide that can be used in personal Bible study or with a group. With over 4 million copies of his “Be” series alone in circulation, he is a man who has given his life to a deep examination of the Word of God, to communicating it in such a way that the masses see its relevance for today.Updated version. Scripture references are from the KJV and NIV. Discussion questions are included at the end of each chapter.“Comfort, comfort My people!” was the good news the Prophet Isaiah proclaimed to God’s people centuries ago, and his message still applies today. Isaiah not only reveals God’s prophetic plan for Israel, but also God’s power and peace for all who will trust Him.
In this practical study, Warren Wiersbe shows you how God can help you:
* Find strength and comfort in times of trial
* Conquer fear when your world is shaking
* Enjoy a rich worship experience withGod
* Experience God’s comfort and love“As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you” is God’s promise (Isaiah 66:13).
Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe is best known as an author, pastor, and radio Bible teacher. He was for many years pastor of Chicago’s Moody Memorial Church and most recently served as General Director and Bible teacher for Back to the Bible. He has authored over 105 books, including the New Testament “BE” Series from Victor Books.

Survey Of The New Testament Everymans Bible Commentary (Revised)
$19.99Add to cartThe New Testament is worthy of a lifetime of study, as it answers the most signifigant questions people have asked, says Paul Benware. What is the purpose of life? Is there any real hope? What is God like? Can I be freed from guilt and sin? Jesus Christ is the only answer to those questions. He is the key to God’s New Covenant, the central theme of the New Testament.

Survey of the New Testament organizes this essential information around the anticipation, institution, and fulfillment of the New Covenant. Dr. Benware, along with his book-by-book study of the 27 New Testament books, includes a chronological study of the life of Christ, a look at political forces and ideologies of the first-century Roman world, and a glimpse into the intertestamental period.
