Messages From God

What does the Bible say about itself? Before this question can be addressed, Tim Meadowcroft argues, we have to address the wider notion that God speaks. Accordingly, Meadowcroft offers fresh, wide-ranging expositions of key passages in both Testaments on the character and power of God's word.

Suppose you could ask God any question and get an answer. What would it be? Young people all over the world have been asking those questions. So Neale Donald Walsch, author of the internationally bestselling Conversations with God series had another conversation. Conversations with God for Teens is a simple, clear, straight-to-the-point dialogue that answers teens questions about God, money, sex, love, and more. Conversations with God for Teens reads like a rap session at a church youth group, where teenagers discuss everything they ever wanted to know about life but were too afraid to ask God. Walsch acts as the verbal conduit, showing teenagers how easy it is to converse with the divine. When Claudia, age 16, from Perth, Australia, asks, "Why can't I just have sex with everybody? What's the big deal?", the answer God offers her is: "Nothing you do will ever be okay with everybody. 'Everybody' is a large word. The real question is can you have sex and have it be okay with you?" There's no doubt that the casual question-and-answer format will help make God feel welcoming and accessible to teens. Conversations with God for Teens is the perfect gift purchase for parents, grandparents, and anyone else who wants to provide accessible spiritual content for the teen(s) in their lives.

Most people see the Bible as a collection of short stories, but it is much, much more:? We know that the wise men came to visit Jesus, but what was the meaning behind their visit?? We've heard that Jesus calmed a storm, but what does that story really reveal?? We know the story of Joseph and his amazing, colorful coat-but what is the underlying message of his story?? We've read of Jonah being swallowed by a whale, but what hidden meaning swims underneath the surface of this familiar story?Yes, the Bible contains some great stories, but it is not a storybook. Every story in the Bible has a deeper meaning and message that is hidden to many. Messages from God helps you decode and discover deeper meaning behind the classic stories you've grown up hearing. And just when most readers think they've got the Bible figured out, they will be surprised to find that each Bible story contributes to a singular storyline that the original writers of the Bible wanted you to discover for yourself: The message and mission of God.
