Christianity and Judaism are two separate religions with two separate approaches to life. Nevertheless, these two religions have often operated in similar spheres, and Christians and Jews have interacted over the centuries. Tragically, even in more modern times, this interaction often culminated in Christian assaults on Jewish communities and forced conversions to Christianity. But this Christian anti-Judaism did not always exist. Originally, Christianity shared its history with Judaism. The first Christians were all Jews. The first Christians used the Jewish Scriptures as their sacred text. The first Christians continued to worship at the Temple in Jerusalem. Over the centuries, Christianity regrettably strayed from its mores and forgot its connection to the Jewish community. This book reconsiders Christianity's Jewish roots. In doing so, it asserts that Christians, despite their doctrinal disagreements with Jews, are to see Jews as part of their own spiritual family. Christianity and Judaism, rather than two religions, are one family.

Now that I understand God's plan, what do I do with that knowledge? How is the gospel meant to impact my life? Can I keep living the same way that I always have? Beginning with the Bible, Volume 2 is a followup to It is Written and Beginning with the Bible, Volume 1. It tackles the power of the gospel to change our lives--looking at the essential changes that God requires of His followers. Once we have heard the gospel, we cannot stay the same. Knowing the Lord is a life-changing experience, and our knowledge of God's plan and what He has done for us compels us to a new life. This book will explore those new facets of life and will give encouragement for how to live anew.

Have you ever wondered why so many people have different ideas about the Bible? How could one book inspire such disparate concepts and interpretations? In The Bible in Context, Jason Hensley explores why methodology matters: even though the passages in the Bible don't change from person to person, their interpretation does. Yet, the Bible was not intended to be read in whatever way one might want. This book presents a specific methodology for determining what the Bible meant when it was written, and to whom it was written. From there, it suggests ways that the message can apply today--how the depth and power of the Bible can be understood in its original context and in its meaning for today.

It is part of our natural tendency as humans to judge one another. We see someone act, and we immediately attempt to ascribe a motive--often the motive that we would have if we were to do the same thing. And yet, this form of judging is completely counter to what God calls us to do. Indeed, we are to judge whether actions are right or wrong, but we cannot judge motivations or character.This book explores why judging isn't in our purview, and why this topic is so crucial for a believer's life. Removing a judgmental attitude can change relationships, can relieve stress and make us more appreciative, and, most importantly, can draw us closer to our God and to the Lord Jesus Christ.
