Billy Graham once wrote "I used to read five psalms every day — that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man." This daily reading enabled him to read all of the Psalms and all of the Proverbs in one month. The purpose of this book is to summarize five psalms and one proverb each day for 31 days. I have placed Psalm 119 on the 31st day because of its length. For Proverbs, I selected a few verses since each chapter is so long. Each chapter is written in common language that anyone should be ...

It preserves Jesus' original words—the Sermon on the Mount, Beatitudes, the Lord's Prayer, parables, and his counsel for a compassionate life. The original of the Gospel Q was lost for 2,000 years, but for the past 170 years historians and theologians have been digging through the many layers of the New Testament to uncover one of the most remarkable lost Gospels of the Bible.

Story
Christianity has obscured the fact that Jesus taught Judaism. This loss is visible in many ways, such as the misinterpretation of many New Testament Scriptures. This book rediscovers the unyielding, even strengthened, commitment to the Law by Jesus and the New Testament authors. With both Bible citations and historical references, this book restores a full understanding of the gospel of the Jewish kingdom.

This “quickbook” is titled “Boy Jesus” because it’s a commentary of verse 40 in the second chapter of Luke’s Gospel: Lk 2:40.

This "quickbook" is titled "Mary" because it focuses on Mary's experience in Lk 2:40-52.

How can we make sense of Mary and Jesus' initial dialogue? How does this episode fit...

Do we have other episodes from Jesus’ ...

Why this book? There are many Bible Study options today on the New Testament Epistles. The question is, what makes this book different? Why would you want to commit to this study? More than anything else, it is the approach that this book series takes that sets it apart from the many fine study resources available today. Similar to how Jesus addressed the seven Churches in the Book of Revelation, this study series will examine the Epistles and present the study as if Jesus is speaking the words to the church—to believers, today.
