Dr. Constable's exposition of Ephesians, which contains nearly 120 pages of commentary, will enable the reader to comprehend the Apostle Paul's heart for the church of Jesus Christ, which Paul portrays as Christ's body. Constable classifies the message of Ephesians into two primary thrusts: the eternal character of the church and her temporal conduct. Paul explains that the church is eternal. She was always a part of God's plan for human history, though God delayed unveiling his purpose for the church until the New Testament. Paul writes this letter that we may understand the profound mystery that both Jewish and Gentile believers are one in Christ. He tore down the dividing wall and established peace via the cross. Paul then argues that the eternal character of the church must influence her conduct in this present life. The church must maintain unity, proclaim holiness through purified relationships, and stand firm against spiritual enemies. Faith Footnotes Series: Constable's Faith Footnotes are more detailed than notes found in a study Bible, but less technical than an academic commentary. As such, they are profitable for pastors, teachers and lay persons. Faith Footnotes provides commentary that spans all sixty-six books of the Bible and contains over 7,800 pages of notes. Each book in the Faith Footnotes series contains a review of the historical background, a summary of the purpose and message of the book, a detailed expositional outline, as well as extensive commentary on the book's contents. Availability: Originally distributed to his seminary students and members of his church, Dr. Constable's notes are also available for viewing and free download on his website (http: //www.soniclight.com/constable/notes.htm). Authenticity Book House (ABH Books) intentionally offers free downloads on the first Monday of each month.

La exposición del Dr. Constable sobre Colosenses, que son aproximadamente 80 páginas, permitirá al lector apreciar el doble énfasis del Apóstol Pablo. Primero, Cristo Jesús es deidad, no solo divino. Solo Él posee la naturaleza única de Dios. Segundo, Dios nos completa en Cristo Jesús. Él nos restaura a reinar como reyes, servir como instrumentos y compañerismo con él. Dr. Thomas Constable, un profesor jubilado del seminario Teológico de Dallas, ofició sus extensivas notas comentarías sobre un periodo de treinta años. Continúa estudiando en su jubilación y actualiza sus notas anualmente. Las notas al pie de Fe del Dr. Constable son más detalladas que las notas que se encuentran en el estudio de Biblia, pero menos técnicas que un comentario académico. Como tal, son provechosas para pastores, maestros, y laicos. Notas al pie de Fe proveen comentarios en lapso de todos los sesenta y seis libros de la biblia y contiene más de 7,800 páginas de notas. Cada libro de notas al pie de Fe contiene una revisión de trasfondo histórico, un resumen del propósito y mensaje del libro, detallado bosquejo expositivo, además de comentario extensivo sobre el contenido del libro. Originalmente distribuidas a sus estudiantes seminarios y miembros de su iglesia, notas del Dr. Constable son disponibles para la visión y descarga gratis en su sitio de web (http: //soniclight.com/constable/notes.htm). Authenticity Book House (libros ABH) ofrece descargas gratis intencionalmente el primer Lunes de cada mes.

Sometimes trials attack us so extensively, that the pain of our reality contradicts even our core beliefs. Our faith is frayed. In Honest Wrestling, we're given the rare opportunity to observe the depths of a family's frayed faith, when they are forced to face the unthinkable. In a raw and real way, K. Howard Joslin takes an intentional risk, allowing us to venture into the intimate struggles of his faith in order to come along side and encourage us with ours. As a seminary graduate, we would expect K. Howard Joslin to have correct answers to tough questions that arise when one's faith is tested. Yet, in what seemed like a matter moments, his family was faced with job loss, three miscarriages, an unexpected heart attack, and the brutal diagnosis of a rare cancer, one that was both aggressive and incurable. Joslin finds himself in the match of his life as he wrestles with God about the authenticity of His goodness and the reliability of His promises, while grasping for hope when there is none. Writing with gut-wrenching authenticity and transparency during the heat of his battle, Joslin rejects easy answers raises questions that believers often secretly ask, but often find too risky to reveal. Honest Wrestling offers hope-filled perspective for those currently undergoing trials and insights for encouraging those who are suffering.

Thrive: Life-Giving Disciplines for a Chaotic World. For many of us, life feels more chaotic than intentional, more frustrating than fulfilling, more exhausting than life-giving, or a crazy quilt of all of the above. We're harried and hurried and hungry for more. Jesus sees our soul-weariness and invites us to a different way of life-a way to thrive. In Thrive, Meyer leads us along ancient paths to discover rhythms, practices, and relationships which help us thrive today. With wisdom from the monastic Rule of St. Benedict lighting your way, in each chapter you'll consider your own way of life: your values and priorities, gifts and abilities, dreams and longings, your relationship with Christ and one another. Thrive guides you in writing a simple rule of life, a gentle guideline expressing your desires and intentions as Christ's followers. A rule of life is not about keeping rules, but keeping relationship-a life-giving relationship with Jesus Christ. Thrive will help you answer the question, what kind of life does Christ invite me to live? Endorsements "Many believers today long for a return to the faith practices of our spiritual ancestors. These pilgrims rank "tested" over "trendy," "time-worn" over "hip," and "liturgical" over "entertaining." In this, her concise guide through the ancient paths, Thrive: Life-Giving Disciplines for a Chaotic World, spiritual director Markene Meyer gently re-introduces sojourners to the ways our elders knew. Highly recommended." Sandra Glahn, seminary professor and author of the Coffee Cup Bible Study series "In our fast-paced society that is increasingly hostile to Christianity, how can the believer consistently notice and thrive in Christ's presence? In Thrive, Markene Meyer beautifully describes ancient, timeless spiritual disciplines and walks the believer through life-giving practices that can help us live free from the tyranny of modern culture." Penna Dexter, Co-host, Point of View Radio Show "I strongly endorse Thrive: Life-Giving Disciplines for a Chaotic World by Markene Meyer. In this innovative work, Meyer suggests adopting a rule of life, which can help govern our busy habits in these high-tech times. The applications are based upon practices deeply rooted in church history. This book should be read with a cup of coffee in one hand . . . and a highlighter in the other. The penetrating questions truly made me think and forced me to examine my own patterns and natural reflexes. I want to live in a life-giving way and I know Meyer's scholarship will help me see the path." Dr. Paul Pettit, Professor of Pastoral Ministries, Dallas Theological Seminary "I always like a book that makes me think. But I love a book that invites me on a personal journey of discovery and spiritual growth. Thrive: Life-Giving Disciplines for a Chaotic World is such a book. Markene Meyer deftly crafts an experience that encourages readers to engage in spiritual practices that have stood the test of time while considering how their culture affects their current lifestyle. Throughout the exercises and group encounters, participants are led to thoughtfully consider and embrace those activities which enliven their relationship with God and nurture a life of love." - Debbie Swindoll, Executive Director of Grafted Life Ministries
