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).

Case For Christ (Revised)
$19.99Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God?
Retracing his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith, Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools like Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis who are recognized authorities in their own fields.
Strobel challenges them with questions like, How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event?
Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award and twice nominated for the Christian Book of the Year Award, Strobel’s tough, point-blank questions read like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it’s not fiction. It’s a riveting quest for the truth about history’s most compelling figure.
The new edition includes scores of revisions and additions, including updated material on archaeological and manuscript discoveries, fresh recommendations for further study, and an interview with the author that tells dramatic stories about the book’s impact, provides behind-the-scenes information, and responds to critiques of the book by skeptics. As The Case for Christ and its ancillary resources approach 10 million copies in print, this updated edition will prove even more valuable to contemporary readers.
