Excellent Discipleship Resource


If there's one thing I'm passionate about it's getting believers into serious Bible study. There simply is no other way to grow as a Christian and become a true disciple. Author Keri Wyatt Kent understands this great truth and has written several books to help in this pursuit. Deeper into the Word: Old Testament is one of them (Deeper into the Word: New Testament is also available, and they would make a great set!). Here's a little bit about this excellent resource:

Translators have done their best to render the words of the Bible into English, but capturing the nuances of the ancient languages is an inexact science. Kent gives readers an opportunity to investigate the roots and biblical context of the words within the Word.

Deeper into the Word: Old Testament is a fascinating devotional, but it can also be used as an accessible reference tool, as it explores one hundred of the most important words of the Old Testament. Kent unpacks each word's Hebrew origins, shows how it is used in the Bible, and offers insights into its significance in our lives.

Consider getting a copy of this book (and its companion book on the New Testament) for yourself and also for someone else you'd like to see grow in the Word. It's perhaps one of the greatest gifts you can give to anyone. Here's the link to order:

It's Time to "Embrace Your Freedom"--and Become an Effective Christian


Author Susie Larson knows how to speak to hearts. In Embracing Your Freedom, that is exactly what she does, as she cuts through the fluff of everyday life and hones in on the eternal, calling readers to a nobler effort and a more effective witness.
This excellent book shows that when we allow fears, insecurities, shame, guilt, despair, or sinful appetites to control us, we will never break out of our self-imposed prisons and begin to minister Christ's love and freedom to others. And that, as the Bible so clearly points out, is our "reasonable service."
Complete with devotional insights, justice quotes, anecdotes, prayer guidance, and study/reflective questions, Embracing Your Freedom is the perfect discipleship guide for individuals or study groups--any who wish to grow strong and live free in Christ and to pass that freedom and strength to others.
