Last month I mentioned that I've been working on republishing/re-releasing Stephen Manley's books with new covers, inside type, and often tweaking some of the content. I've recently finished the massive project with the release of In My Eye, a continued study in Acts 2 about Pentecost. In this book, Stephen examines Peter's sermon in Acts 2 which explains Pentecost. As a follow-up to last month's giveaway of A New Level, this month I want to give …

June 2018 Book Giveaway
This month marks the 13 year anniversary from when I first traveled as an intern with Stephen Manley. If you've listened to my podcast, you've heard me mention how much of an influence Stephen has had on my life and understanding of God's Word. Over the years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to help Stephen with a variety of projects, one of which is publishing his books. Recently, we re-released many of his books with updated …

AW Tozer is one of my favorite authors. He was a prolific pastor and teacher who continually called the Church back to a right relationship with God. Of his books, The Knowledge of Holy and The Pursuit of God is what he is most known for (and if you've never read them, you need to). But a little, rather unknown book that was written as a prequel to The Pursuit of God, is Tozer's God's Pursuit of Man (originally called The Divine …

A large portion of the book uses the Sermon on the Mount to …

This month I head out to Israel with 33 other excited believers to see the Word of God come alive afresh. As I've prepared materials for the trip, I've been fascinated how much a simple travel book on Israel can deepen your understanding of God's Word. Just as a Bible atlas gives a geographical context to the Bible, a travel guide gives you insight on the key locations in Israel – thus, in a roundabout fashion, giving insight …
February 2018 Book Giveaway
I've spent a lot of time recently prepping for an upcoming trip I'm leading to Israel in March. The more I study, the more I marvel at how God used the land to showcase Jesus Christ and His divine purpose. Since going on my first trip to Israel, my love for a Bible atlas has increased tenfold. I always knew they were important to Bible Study, but I've discovered greater depths of insight and understanding from pulling one out and looking …
January 2018 Book Giveaway
I typically don't read a lot of fiction, and when I do it's typically before bed (gotta love bedtime stories). Recently I read an incredible fiction book called A Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers which dramatizes the lives of the five women mentioned in the lineage of Jesus—Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. Granted, these stories are fiction, but Francine Rivers used what we have recorded in Scripture and historical research of the …
