Revived Heart

Bitter, Broken and Burdened David begged God, “Restore the Joy of my salvation.” He was vulnerable, in dire need of God’s love, mercy and grace. His heart that once burned with passion to serve his maker had faltered under pressure, betrayal, rejection, disappointment and pain. Yet, he chose to surrender and in doing so, God granted him healing. Like David, we can choose to be reunited with God… It is the letting go and crying our heart out to Him. It is in the jumbled words that we muster up to pray and the courage we find to open our bibles that we begin the journey of a revived heart. This devotional/workbook is a safe place of healing, reconciliation and restoration for you to return to the wholeness that awaits you in Jesus Christ. May each word make room for God, as He reconstructs your heart for His glory.

Over twenty-five years in the making, this much-anticipated commentary promises to be the standard study of Proverbs for years to come. Written by eminent Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke, this two-volume commentary is unquestionably the most comprehensive work on Proverbs available. Grounded in the new literary criticism that has so strengthened biblical interpretation of late, Waltke's commentary on Proverbs demonstrates the profound, ongoing relevance of this Old Testament book for Christian faith and life. A thorough introduction addresses such issues as text and versions, structure, authorship, and theology. The detailed commentary itself explains and elucidates Proverbs as "theological literature." Waltke's highly readable style -- evident even in his original translation of the Hebrew text -- makes his scholarly work accessible to teachers, pastors, Bible students, and general readers alike.

If you long to be like Jesus, but are discouraged and defeated, John Van Gelderen provides hope and help. Laying down biblical stepping stones, he leads you on a journey to a life which overcomes sin and overflows into ministry to others—The Revived Life.

Taken from throughout Mills's career, the essays collected in this volume delve into the work of such influential writers as Wallace Stevens, Denise Levertov, Samuel Beckett, Galway Kinnell, Edith Sitwell, Theodore Roethke, Karl Shapiro, Richard Wilbur, Isabella Gardener, James Wright, David Ignatow, Donald Hall, Robert Bly, Philip Levine, and Stanley Kunitz. Mills examines how the personal element informs the works of these writers and enables them "to speak to us, without impediment, from the deep center of a personal engagement with existence."
