    Philemon had difficult decisions to make. His runaway slave had returned, and a famous apostle had sent a message to his local church. How would he respond? The apostle Paul wrote a personal letter to Philemon who lived in the city of Colossae and another letter to the Colossian church. These letters are included in the Bible. The letter to Philemon was an appeal on behalf of the runaway slave who had become a Christian. The letter to the church challenged the people in various areas including who Jesus is, opposition to legalism, Christian ethics, household relationships, and thanksgiving. We face the same spiritual challenges as Philemon and the Colossians. A Slow Walk through Colossians: 90 Devotional Meditations on Philemon and Colossians is a collection of devotional meditations, slowly walking through the letters from Paul to Philemon and to the church in Colossae a verse or two at a time. The Christian Standard Bible, a modern translation by evangelical scholars, is the primary translation. An index of all Bible references and meditation titles is included.

    Love, sex, money, and power seem to be necessary for happiness in modern life. The bookstore down the street carries self-help and how-to books, promising success. But rampant divorce indicates lasting love is rare. Sexy advertisements imply one must buy their products for satisfying sex. Many yearn for a lottery jackpot, but only a few win. The corporate rat race shows that power is limited to the elite. The bookstore may not have answers, but God does. What does the Bible have to say about love, sex, money, and power? What are his answers for today? Love, Sex, Money, and Power: A Devotional Commentary is a topical study with a devotional emphasis. Biblical principles are valuable for everyone, but new-adult Christians (ages 18-30), in particular, will find this book especially relevant. A distinctive feature of Love, Sex, Money, and Power: A Devotional Commentary is a wealth of personal stories and applications of what the Bible says about these topics. The body of this book is comments on the Scriptures in everyday language, punctuated by short meditations. Love, Sex, Money, and Power: A Devotional Commentary is based on the conviction that any ordinary Christian can read and understand the main ideas of the Scriptures and find them relevant to life today. This book is not an academic commentary, but notes include cultural information and definitions of key Greek words from commonly available references, such as Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. Features include Scripture quotations from the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) and other modern translations, meditations, Bible cross references, and an index.

    Revelation: A Devotional Commentary is a study of the book of Revelation in the Bible which has a devotional emphasis. It applies Revelation to contemporary Christian living, rather than analyzing theology or current events. This book is for busy Christians who have pushed Revelation aside as too weird or too complicated. It suggests personal applications, builds faith, and stimulates worship. A distinctive feature of Revelation: A Devotional Commentary is its outline of Revelation based on literary markers rather than an outline based on a theology of eschatology. The outline consists of six sets of seven visions each, plus a short prologue and epilogue. This book views Revelation as a panorama, a large tapestry, rather than as a predictive chronology of the second coming of Jesus. Even though Christians have many different interpretations of details about the second coming of Jesus, one thing is guaranteed, Jesus will come back to Earth again, this time with power and glory. Revelation: A Devotional Commentary focuses on these points about the second coming of Jesus, which are clearly taught by other Scriptures: (1) Jesus will personally return. (2) Believers will rise from the dead to eternal life. (3) Unbelievers will face eternal judgment. (4) Expect Him soon! Revelation: A Devotional Commentary is based on the conviction that any ordinary Christian can read and understand the main ideas of Revelation, and find it relevant to life today. The body of this book is comments on the Scriptures in everyday language, punctuated by frequent pauses for worship. It is not an academic commentary, but notes include cultural information and definitions of key Greek words from commonly available references, such as Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible and Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words. Features include the full text of Revelation from the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), dramatic woodcut prints by Albrecht Dürer, meditations, personal study questions, plans for discussion group study, a wealth of Bible cross references, and an index.

    Debates between Christians and atheists often focus on Genesis chapters 1 through 11. Honest Questions: A Personal Commentary on Genesis 1 through 11 discusses some of the controversial questions and then gives personal insights into deeper questions. For example, going beyond, "How long did Creation take?" the first chapter of Genesis answers the question, "Who created the universe?" God is not embarrassed by honest questions. He is the author of truth. Like most evangelicals, the author believes that God inspired the writers of the Bible. So, understanding what God says is important. Faith in God and confidence in the Word of God, the Bible, is the starting point of this book. A distinctive feature of Honest Questions: A Personal Commentary on Genesis 1 through 11 is untraditional interpretations of some passages based on literary features. These yield insights into the message of Genesis. Each chapter also includes devotional thoughts on the current passage for meditation. Even though the message of Genesis is thousands of years old, it is relevant to life today. God is the same today as back then. Unlike some others, this book is not designed to convince a skeptic to become a believer, nor to help win points in a debate with an atheist. This book also does not try to explain whether modern science and Genesis are compatible, nor does it argue whether secular mainstream science is valid, or not. Honest Questions: A Personal Commentary on Genesis 1 through 11 is not an academic commentary, but the opinions of evangelical scholars are carefully considered. The book includes a wealth of Bible cross-references, citations with a bibliography, and an index.
