Discovering God's Goodness (Women of Faith Study Guide Series)
by Luci Swindoll Margaret Feinberg Women Of FaithKing David encouraged us to "taste and see that the Lord is good" (Psalm 34:8). Our heavenly Father serves up a feast of His truth, grace, peace, and freedom to us in abundance--and invites us to enjoy it! When we discover His goodness and truly "count our blessings," it changes our entire outlook on life. In Discovering God's Goodness, you will explore what the Bible has to say about God's grace and what the Lord did to rescue you from the prison of sin. You will uncover how God's unmerited favor made it possible for you to be forgiven, redeemed, and restored so you could experience eternal life with Him. This is a blessing none of us deserves--but God gives it to us anyway if we accept Him and live our lives for His glory. The Women of Faith® Bible Studies provide intriguing insights into topics that are relevant to women's lives today. Each guide includes twelve weeks of study, down-to-earth illustrations, and reflections to help you move the truth from your head to your heart. A leader's guide for use with small groups is also included.

Discovering Revelation: Content, Interpretation, Reception (Discovering Biblical Texts (DBT))
by David A. deSilvaThe book of Revelation has been received over the past several centuries with both fascination and aversion, but one thing is certain: it has profoundly shaped Christian history and culture. And the way it has shaped history and culture has been determined, in large part, by how the book has been variously—and sometimes irresponsibly—interpreted. David A. deSilva addresses the interpretation and reception-history of Revelation in this compact, up-to-date, and student-friendly introduction to the book of Revelation, focusing on its structure, content, theological concerns, key interpretive debates, and historical reception. Discovering Revelation draws on a range of methodological approaches (author-, text-, and reader-centered) as complementary rather than mutually exclusive ways of interpreting the text. DeSilva pays special attention to defining features of Revelation, such as its use of sequences of seven as a major structuring device, its nonlinear plotline, and its deployment of contrast and parody. As deSilva writes, &“A text as rich and multidimensional as Revelation calls for its readers to adopt a rich and multidimensional approach that draws upon a variety of interpretative angles and skills.&”.
Discovering Romans: Spiritual Revival for the Soul
by Mike Abendroth S. Lewis JohnsonDiscovering Romans: Spiritual Revival for the Soul is a popular level guide by outstanding Bible teacher S.

This beloved pastor and professor works through the text engagingly, providing both clarifying insights and life applications along the way. Each chapter ends with reflection questions, making this volume useful not only for individual reading (or preparation for teaching) but also in small group Bible studies. John MacArthur once said, “Through the years I have listened to the preaching of S. Lewis Johnson far more than any other preacher.” Reading through this volume will be a soul-reviving experience.
