Leviticus Numbers : From Biblical Text To Contemporary Life
$64.99
The NIV Application Commentary on Leviticus/Numbers shows how two neglected biblical books recounting an epic journey to freedom illuminate and challenge modern conceptions of God. Through vivid visual imagery of rituals, laws addressing tough issues for real people with real problems, and narratives that range from exultant to gut-wrenching, the reader learns what it means to interact with the Lord and live according to his holy principles as part of a redeemed community of faith. The Israelites’ story of covenant experience with God is our story because we share the same divine covenant partner. Leviticus and Numbers reveal what God is like in relation to human beings and how they can effectively interact with him across the boundary between the seen and unseen realms. Although the biblical books are clothed in the garb of an ancient culture and its institutions, their rituals, narratives, and laws encapsulate timeless principles that apply to modern life. We too can participate in transactions with God and profit from their experience because it parallels our own on a deeper level: The Lord continues to deliver us and transforms us into “a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God” (1 Peter 2:9) so that he can dwell with us and be our God (Rev. 21:3).

Red Sea Rules
$14.99Just as Moses and the Israelites found themselves caught between “the devil and the deep Red Sea,” so are we sometimes overwhelmed by life’s problems. But God delivered the Israelites, and He will deliver us too. The Red Sea Rules reveals, even in the midst of seemingly impossible situations, God’s promise to make a way for us. His loving guidance will protect us through danger, illness, marital strife, financial problems–whatever challenges Satan places in our path. Using the Israelites’ story as an example, Robert Morgan offers ten sound strategies for moving from fear to faith. Among them:
Realize that God means for you to be where you are. Acknowledge your enemy, but keep your eyes on the Lord. Pray. Life is hard. It is certain that we will face difficulties, and that God will allow them, as He allowed the Israelites to become trapped between Pharaoh’s rushing armies and the uncrossable Red Sea. But just as certain is the fact that the same God who led us in will lead us out. As The Red Sea Rules makes clear, He is in control. Updated edition with new study questions accompanying each chapter.Add to cart1 in stock
