An impeccable inquiry into the proposition that supernatural events can happen in this world. C. S. Lewis uses his remarkable logic to build a solid argument for the existence of divine intervention.

A leader must stand tall enough for his followers to find him. "As the God-appointed captain of his family," says Steve Farrar, "a man faces the challenge of spying out the social territory, marking danger zones, and taking stands to protect those in his charge." It's an active leadership role — and Farrar's been training men to succeed in it for over ten years. In this paperback rerelease of his popular Standing Tall, the men's ministries leader "walks tall" through America — observing politics, abortion, the gay movement, media trends, and the loss of our "moral boundaries." Farrar offers men sure biblical foundations on which to stand for faith-based living — closing with "Seven Ways to Help Your Kids Stand Tall." A study guide/appendix makes it great for group use, too!

What the Gospels are to the New Testament, as the field for historical study, the six books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles are to the Old Testament: They are the principal sources of Old Testament history and chronology. Because of their centrality to the study of the Old Testament, William Day Crockett compiled them into one book with parallel passages arranged in parallel columns for quick reference and convenient study. Along with the harmony, or arrangement, Crockett provides a complete analytical outline-a concise, sequential table of events that will give readers a greater understanding of and firmer grasp on the history of Judah and Israel. Readers will also find a table of passages from the entire Bible that parallel certain sections of the harmony.
