Thomas Nelson Publishers proposed a challenge that would put a Bible in the hands of one million people. One million people!—In comunities across the country who have never heard or read God's Word. When the program met with unexpected popularity, they reached their goal of one million far faster than expected.  So, did they end the challenge, happy with that impressive accomplishment?  No!  They increased the goal—to five million!

"Nelson's Million Bible Challenge" only works if we all work together. Skip lunch for a day and give five Bibles away to five different people. These people might be friends, family, co-workers, or even people you don't know—like the teen at the drive-through, the lady at the dry cleaners, or the person who checks you out out at the grocery store. We can impact our communities like never before and fulfill the mission of putting the Word of of God into the hands of people everywhere.

What do the destruction of Jerusalem, the Diet of Worms, the French Revolution, and the Edinburgh Missionary Conference all have in common? According to the leading evangelical historian Mark Noll, they are among a select number of pivotal events in the two-thousand-year history of Christianity. Organized around thirteen key moments in the history of Christianity, this popular introduction to church history provides contemporary Christians with a fuller understanding of God as he has revealed his purpose through the centuries. A study section has been added that includes questions and application challenges for today’s church, making the second edition of this book more useful for students of church history and church study groups.

The story of Christian theology has often been divisive and disjointed. Providing a companion to his earlier work The Story of Christian Theology, Roger Olson thematically traces out Christian belief down through the ages, revealing a pattern of both unity and diversity. He finds a consensus of teaching that is both unitive and able to incorporate a faithful diversity when not forced into the molds of false either-or alternatives. The mosaic that emerges from Olson’s work displays a mediating evangelical theology that is nonspeculative and irenic in spirit and tone. Specifically written with the nonspecialist in mind, Olson has masterfully sketched out the contours of Christian faith with simplicity while avoiding oversimplification.

This readable, scholarly volume gives you invaluable information about the background, content, and message of the Old Testament, as well as the latest interpretative options. This second edition features a new chapter on archaeology and the Old Testament by Robert E. Cooley, and other key chapters have been updated and expanded by leading scholars in the field of biblical studies: Leslie C. Allen, John E. Hartley, Robert L. Hubbard Jr., William B. Nelson Jr., Nancy Heidebrecht, and John E. McKenna. Also, updated endnotes and bibliographies, plus additional charts, illustrations, maps, and a new chapter on archaeology make this a phenomenal resource.

Understanding the Bible isn’t for the few, the gifted, the scholarly. The Bible is accessible. It’s meant to be read and comprehended by everyone from armchair readers to seminary students. A few essential insights into the Bible can clear up a lot of misconceptions and help you grasp the meaning of Scripture and its application to your 21st-century life.

This third edition of How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth features substantial revisions that keep pace with current scholarship, resources, and culture. Changes include:

• Updated language
• A new authors’ preface
• Several chapters rewritten for better readability
• Updated list of recommended commentaries and resources

Covering everything from translational concerns to different genres of biblical writing, How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth is used worldwide. In clear, simple language, it helps you accurately understand the different parts of the Bible—their meaning for ancient audiences and their implications for you today—so you can uncover the inexhaustible worth that is in God’s Word.

John Wimber profoundly believes that healing is fundamental to the church’s ministry and life. Power Healing dramatically relives his struggle to understand the nature of healing and how it brought him to a new understanding of why Jesus heals and how He heals through us.

Wimber provides practical models for the healing ministry. He explores healing in the Old Testament, offers an overview of healing by Jesus and the disciples, and discusses the healing that occurs in hospitals. This clear, detailed, and hands-on analysis is essential reading for anyone interested in Christian healing today.
