books by Christian Focus     books:       2 Kings: The Power and Fury (Focus on the Bible)2 reviews Dale Ralph Davis Christian Focus, 2005 A Premier work for Preachers and Teachers Dale Ralph Davis has done it again! Once more, he has given us an excellent preaching resource as he takes us through still another of the Historical Books, taking us on a verse by verse journey that is both textually astute, carefully crafted, and wonderfully practical. Davis has taught seminary courses on how to preach from the Older Testament and he fills each of his books with material that ...             Contours Of Pauline Theology1 review Holland, Tom Christian Focus, 2004 turning Paul the right way round May I ask if the pre-publication reviews given below can be provided to potential readers, many thanks, Tom Holland It is refreshing to read something radically new in such a popular area as Pauline studies. So often what promised new perspectives, new insights, turns out not to be essentially different. Tom Holland's original and creative approach to Paul does not fall into this category. ...             2 Samuel: Out of Every Adversity (Focus on the Bible Commentaries) Dale Ralph Davis Christian Focus, 2007 Davis brings cultural and historical colour to the task of interpreting one of the most studied parts of the Bible. The lessons in 2 Samuel from the life of Israel, and David in particular, have obvious modern parallels. Davis writes with a pastor's heart AND the incisive brain of a respected theologian specialising in the Old Testament texts.             David Livingstone: The Truth Behind the Legend5 reviews Mackenzie, Rob Christian Focus, 2003 It is not a book, it is a Journey--challenging and humbling. I guess there are times in biography writing when the sheer magnitude of the subject overshadows the book. However, Rob Mackenzie captures this life with pure genius. As he takes us on the chronological journey of David Livingstone's life, we are deeply saddened by the utter despair of his relentless failings and hopeless circumstances, only to reach to the top and celebrate in the victory of ...             Communion with God: Fellowship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit1 review John Owen Christian Focus, 2007 Very in depth This book is for those who wish to Know God and deeply. No playing here. This is a very slow read. A great meditation book also.             The Family Worship Book: A Resource Book for Family Devotions3 reviews Terry L. Johnson Christian Focus, 2007 Reform Your Family My wife bought me this book, and I couldn't have picked a better book for our entire family. Terry L. Johnson does a wonderful job of giving the case for family worship and then gives practical advice on how to perform it. The most important advice that he gives is, "Just do it." He includes numerous resources in planning daily worship times with your family from the "Call to Worship" to the ...             Focus on the Bible - 1 Samuel: Looking on the Heart (Focus on the Bible Commentaries) (Focus on the Bible)2 reviews Dale Ralph Davis Christian Focus, 2007 The Platonic ideal of commentaries D. Ralph Davis' commentaries (Judges, Joshua, I Sam., II Sam., I Kgs) -- ALL are consisently amazing. In fact, if I had just one commentary on each of thsoe books I'd take Davis. Davis is a former OT seminary prof, with a PhD., but has also been a pastor (Presbyterian PCA) for many years. These are all non-technical, unfootnoted, homiletical treatments. They are theologically rich, always ...             When Grace Comes Home2 reviews Terry Johnson Christian Focus, 2003 When Grace Comes Home Incredible book on the Reformed Faith. I was struck by how very practical a book on theology can be. I have read it several times and find it more fascinating and inspiring each time. It is truly life-changing and I have given MANY copies of this book to friends. This book is for those who seek to know the truth of God's awesome grace and His plan for our salvation. Thank you Jerry Bridges!             Joshua: No Falling Words (Focus on the Bible)2 reviews Davis, Dale Ralph Christian Focus, 2005 The best I have used all of Dale Ralph Davis' commentaries (Judges, Joshua, I Sam., II Sam., I Kgs) -- every one of them is consisently excellent. In fact, if I had just one commentary on each of thsoe books I'd select Davis. Davis is a former Old Testament seminary professor, with a PhD., but has also been a pastor (Presbyterian PCA) for many years. These are all non-technical, unfootnoted, ...             1 Kings: The Wisdom and the Folly (Focus on the BIble)1 review Dale, Ralph Davis Christian Focus, 2007 Great OT commentary for any student of the Word If you have never read Ralph Davis' commentaries, you are missing a real treat! He has a depth of insight and the way he applies the Scriptures is truly fantastic. His academic ability is shown, but he does not over power you with it. His OT commentaries are great for Bible study and seeing how an ancient text applies in the 21st century. If you don't own them, you need to get them today.             Leaving Yesterday Behind3 reviews William L. Hines Christian Focus, 2003 This Book Changed My Life! Leaving Yesterday Behind is an easy to read and easy to apply book. The author gives great analogies and illustrations to make difficult concepts easy to understand. There is so much covered that no stone is left unturned when it comes to breaking free from the strangle-holds of the past and making living a liberated life in Christ a reality. Applying these concepts has truly turned my life ...             Saved At Sea1 review Walton, O.f. Christian Focus, 2003 A lighthouse story: secure on the Rock; that Rock is Christ Alick Fergusson lived with his grandfather on a small island off the coast of Scotland. His grandfather was the keeper of the lighthouse, and Jem Millar, his assistant, and his family were the Fergusson's only neighbors.

Only once a month were they allowed to ...             If God Already Knows Why Pray?2 reviews Douglas Kelly Christian Focus, 2005 Encouraging us to pray and showing us how This book is the most encouraging book on prayer I have read in years. It is very readable with short chapters, answers the tough questions well and makes you want to put it down and start praying right away! Great for the theologian as well as for the layman.             Man after God's own Heart, A1 review R. T. Kendall Christian Focus, 2008 An understanding on grace This book helps you to see what is it that you really seek. Much like R T Kendall's title God Meant It For Good, this one shows that for those who seek a real relationship with God, we very much find ourselves to have a heart like that of David. I would recommend this book for anyone who is going through a difficult season in their life. It gives both encouragement and comfort in those seasons ...             Baptists: Beginnings In America Vol.2 (Baptists: Key People Involved in Forming a Baptist Identity)2 reviews Tom Nettles Christian Focus, 2006 Beginnings in Britain Tom Nettles teaches at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the flagship seminary of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Understanding history demands patience, humility, and love. If historical personalities are not treated by one who exercises these virtues, history easily becomes a club wielded by those primarily interested in pursuing their own agenda. Nettles exercises patience, ...             Living Sacrifice: Willing to be Whittled as an arrow (Living...)1 review Helen Roseveare Christian Focus, 2007 A Thoughtful Devotional I heard Dr. Roseveare speak at a Women's Conference and was incredibly drawn to her humility and deep understanding of what it means to "walk worthy of the calling". Her book, "Living Sacrifice", has become a trusted devotional, helping me to realize just what it means to love God with all of my heart, mind, soul and strength. It seems that Christianity today celebrates our faith when ...             Give Me This Mountain Roseveare, Helen Christian Focus, 2006 'Give Me This Mountain' is the British title of the autobiography of Dr. Helen Roseveare, graduate in medicine from University of Cambridge, in the late 1940's.

Sproul Christian Focus, 1999 The book of Romans has been influential in critical moments of the Christian church history. In the early church, Paul's words in this book were the means of the conversion of Augustine. During the Protestant Reformation they particularly influenced Martin Luther and John Calvin. Later, in the evangelical revival of the eighteenth century, they changed the lives of George Whitefield and John Wesley. But it is not only those who have become ...              search for books adversity, already, america, baptist, baptists, beginnings, commentaries, communion, contours, devotions, falling, fellowship, forming, identity, involved, joshua, leaving, livingstone, looking, mountain, pauline, people, resource, sacrifice, theology, whittled, willing, wisdom, worship, yesterday books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
