For Jacob Wright, the Bible is not only a testimony of survival, but also an unparalleled achievement in human history. Forged after Babylon's devastation of Jerusalem, it makes not victory but total humiliation the foundation of a new idea of belonging. Lamenting the destruction of their homeland, scribes who composed the Bible imagined a promise-filled past while reflecting deeply on abject failure.

The Lord's Prayer is the most iconic and widely spoken prayer in human history. It's not only a sacred prayer, but the very essence of the Bible's message. Yet, familiarity often dulls the power of this profound prayer, leaving its deep meaning untapped and unlived. Every single phrase of the Lord's Prayer is loaded with revolutionary significance for Jesus' original audience—and for us. In this book, Brad Gray and Brad Nelson draw on decades of research to unpack these words in their original historical and cultural context, revealing the bold truths that can still shake our lives today.

In western post-Christian society, humans are thought of less like precious image bearers and more like commodities. The canary in the coal mine of this ideological shift is often women and children, which manifests itself in the seemingly built-in disdain towards motherhood and children for their lack of production of economically valuable goods. However, the risk of this utilitarian approach to human life is not just outside the church, but within those spaces as well.

The story of the garden of Eden is a story of a culture built entirely upon the goodness of God. It is a beacon to a way of life that now feels distant and unattainable. While we may not be able to access the garden anymore, we can embrace its essence. In Goodness Culture, you will discover the four core values of Eden that are still readily available to the body of Christ today. You will also discover the four counterfeit values the enemy has established in their place.

I nostri padri erano convinti di vivere sotto l’occhio di Dio: la sua esistenza era certa come quella del sole che sorge e tramonta. Oggi abbiamo smesso di crederci, o anche solo di pensarci.

Joseph Lumpkin's compelling short study on the Book of Leviticus delves into the essential role shared laws and beliefs play in maintaining societal cohesion. Just as a nation thrives on a unified language, culture, and legal system, so too does a religion rely on a common set of beliefs. These elements are intertwined, with religion shaping culture, culture influencing religion, and language reflecting both. Leviticus serves as a foundational blueprint, ensuring religious, legal, moral, and cultural unity for a fledgling nation—a theocracy led by Moses.

In this short study, Lumpkin masterfully navigates the complex narrative where rebellion serves a dual role: initially, it liberates the Israelites from slavery, but later, it incites divine wrath. This duality mirrors the fine line between defiance and perseverance, the quest for personal freedom, and acts of treachery. The core lesson lies in the application of our will and intention.
