Know the Word Study Bible (NKJV)

NKJV Know the Word Study Bible

This concise study Bible is a welcome addition to the ever growing
number of study Bibles on the market. What makes this Bible unique is
the free flowing ease of reading that comes with the format of the
text. Further, the study notes aid in bringing out the original
meaning of the Hebrew and Greek text while also giving the reader
important historical markers for further study. Overall, the compact
nature of the Bible, the excellent study notes and the larger font
size of the actual biblical text make this Bible a great book for any
student of God’s Word.

One of the key features of this text is the red insight portions
inserted below the text as a way of gaining more wisdom about
particular themes in the text. In Jeremiah 23:1-8, the editors
provide A Glimpse of the Messiah that outlines how the prophet viewed
the coming Messiah. One notes states, “Jeremiah, along with Isaiah
and Zechariah, use the word branch to describe the Messiah (Is. 4:2;
Zech. 6:12). The reference here to the Savior as a “branch of
righteousness” recalls God’s promise to David that his “throne shall
be established forever (2 Sam. 7:16) (1059).” The introductions to
each biblical book also provide more wisdom for the situation that
each writer faced and the recipients for whom the book was written.

I am really impressed with this study Bible and know you will too.

Thanks to BookLookBloggers for the copy of this book in exchange for

The Rise of the Modern Self by Carl Trueman

The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self by Carl Trueman Navigating the culture that we take up residence in, with its laser focus on sexual identity, tolerance, and an individualism that raises its head at every corner, Christians need a robust account of how we got to this point in our Western culture without retreating to our churches nor morphing with the latest trends. Carl Trueman, professor of religion and theology at Grove City College, brings his keen historical research to bear on this issue in his new book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. Part historical survey and philosophical analysis, Dr. Trueman traces the trajectories of key thinkers such as Rousseau, Freud, and Marx, while also incorporating the insights of Charles Taylor and Phillip Rieff to form a cogent argument as to how we got to this point in our history, both in our expressive individualism and sexual freedom outlooks. The book is surprisingly insightful and yet demands from the reader the pa

The Conditioned Mind

The Conditioned Mind: Overcoming the Crippling Effects of Sin and Guilt by Michael J. Mannia Counselor and author Michael J. Mannia knows firsthand how the spiraling of sin and guilt can eat away at life. His new book, The Conditioned Mind, is a look into how believers can overcome the effects of sin and guilt and live in the freedom that we have in Christ. Through a careful look into the patterns that we develop and the mindsets that we get ingrained in, Michael is able to offer ways through guilt that bring freedom and healing. I think this is not only a timely but a book that aims toward bringing real healing to its readers. In the first chapter Michael looks at two needs that we have: our need for love and our need for security. Love isn’t something optional for the human race, but something it needs at its core. “Additionally, we need to reciprocate love. We need to feel loved as much as we need to love others (8).” Love is a two-way street that inv

Passover and Jesus

The Messiah in the Passover , Edited by Darrell Bock and Mitch Glaser Why should Christians celebrate and remember the Passover? This is a striking question that needs to be understood as well as the historical and theological context of the Passover. However obscure we sometimes view the Old Testament, there is some significant reasons why we should reach back and study the Passover. Mitch Glaser in the Introduction states, “When Christians celebrate the Passover, they grow in their understanding of the Old Testament, affirm the Jewishness of the Gospel, deepen our understanding of the Lord’s Supper, and build community with fellow Christians…” (20). This book is answer to why celebrate the Passover but even more importantly an answer to what the Passover is and what it signifies to us today. The various contributors of this book, Messiah in the Passover, bring a wealth of ministry experience in relating the Jewishness of both Jesus and the Old Testament to
