"Deron Biles is a man after God's heart. In his book he wishes to challenge all men to find the transforming power of God's Word. Learn how to be God's man!" -Jim Richards, Executive Director, Southern Baptists of Texas Convention "In a day when the church has been largely overtaken by feminism together with its marginalization, either intentionally or by accident, of men, professor Deron Biles of Southwestern Seminary has written a superb assessment of what it means to be a 'man after God's own heart' in this volume Becoming the Man God is Seeking, Dr. Biles has presented a highly readable but profoundly thoughtful presentation that any man who loves God will want to read and make a part of his service to the Lord. If I were a pastor I would want every man in my church to have a copy of this book." -Paige Patterson President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Fort Worth, Texas

Yet Leviticus is one of the most important books of the Old Testament; it not only describes the complete religious system of ancient Israel, it also lays the theological foundation for the Christian gospel. In Holiness to the Lord, Allen P. Ross enables preachers and teachers to mine the riches of Leviticus and deliver them to a contemporary audience. Following the same practical method he used in the acclaimed Creation and Blessing, Ross first carefully sites Leviticus within its context in the ancient world. Then he tra...
Christianity Today Book Award Winner One of Worship Leader Magazine's Editor's Picks Current discussions about worship are often driven by pragmatics and personal preferences rather than by the teaching of Scripture. True worship, however, is our response to God's gracious revelation; in order to be acceptable to God, worship must be experienced on God's terms. Respected Old Testament scholar Daniel Block examines worship in the Bible, offering a comprehensive biblical foundation and illuminating Old Testament worship practices and principles. He develops a theology of worship that is consistent with the teachings of Scripture and is applicable for the church today. He also introduces readers to a wide range of issues related to worship. The book, illustrated with diagrams, charts, and pictures, will benefit professors and students in worship and Bible courses, pastors, and church leaders.
An Important Study on the Worship of the Early Church This introduction to the origins of Christian worship illuminates the importance of ancient liturgical patterns for contemporary Christian practice. Andrew McGowan takes a fresh approach to understanding how Christians came to worship in the distinctive forms still familiar today. Deftly and expertly processing the bewildering complexity of the ancient sources into lucid, fluent exposition, he sets aside common misperceptions to explore the roots of Christian ritual practices--including the Eucharist, baptism, communal prayer, preaching, Scripture reading, and music--in their earliest recoverable settings. Now in paper.
