Big Dummies of the Bible:  And How You Can Avoid Being a Dummy Too

by Stephen M. Miller

This study will make you cringe (and laugh) while you learn how not to be a dummy, too.  You’ll wise up in a hurry.  Each lesson contains a set of thought-provoking questions, challenging you to apply these biblical lessons to twenty-first century living.  With tongue firmly implanted in cheek at times, Miller makes it clear that you could be guilty – or at risk – of similar stupidity and the often dreadful consequences.

 

The Thirteen Apostles

by J. Ellsworth Kalas

The apostles:  twelve men personally chosen by Jesus Christ to lead in his ministry of spreading God’s love, and a thirteenth, Matthias, later selected by the apostles themselves when a replacement was needed.  Few of us today could name them all, if asked, and yet, together, this small group has left an utterly indelible impact.  Jesus left his mission and message in the care of these persons; today, their spiritual descendants fill the world.  In this study, Kalas has tried to find the particular characteristic in each of the thirteen apostles that would seem to define that person most clearly.

 

Living the Questions in Mark

by John Blase

It’s easy for believers to take the attitude that we have all the answers in life.  We trust God, we read the Bible, and we know how it all ends up. Yet somehow life keeps stumping us, and a careful reading of the Gospels often only raises more questions.  How do we handle this uncertainty?  In this study of the gospel of Mark, you’ll wrestle personally with the challenging questions Jesus asked.  Life is full of questions, and an honest believer learns how to embrace those questions and build a stronger faith in the process.  This Bible study, filled with provocative anecdotes and excerpts from literature and current events, will help you do just that.
