The Dragon And The Lamb

Pastor Jamin Goggin and theology professor Kyle Strobel invite you on a journey to uncover Jesus’ seemingly contradictory way to power: weakness. Why do so many rock-star pastors implode under the spotlight? How have so many Christian leaders and institutions been lured by toxic and abusive power? Why are so many Christians tempted to chase worldly success and status? Because, according to Jamin Goggin and Kyle Strobel, rather than seeking kingdom power embodied by Jesus, we have embraced a form of power that is antithetical to the cross. In The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb, Goggin and Strobel paint a richly biblical vision of power through weakness. This revised and updated edition features a brand-new chapter for those who’ve been impacted by toxic and abusive power. Join the authors on a journey to gather wis­dom from great sages of the faith such as J. I. Packer, Dallas Willard, Marva Dawn, John Perkins, James Houston, and Eugene Peterson. Listen in on their conversations to rediscover the wisdom of the cross and the power that truly sets us free.

The Hunter's Moon is a tale of supernatural suspense, entwined with the tragic death of Rudolph Von Hapsburg, the archduke of Austria and Maria Vetsera, his seventeen-year-old mistress, as told through an old diary. It is also the modern day love affair between Baron Kyril Vetsera and Alexandria Vetsera Brown, the wife of a brutal jealous man. The Hunter's Moon begins at the conclusion of a royal hunt in Austria in 1887 and ranges forward one hundred years to twentieth century Niagara Falls, New York. Baron Vetsera comes to America to retrieve a diary that contains a horrific personal secret. The diary was stolen half a century earlier by his wife, who then fled to America. When he arrives, his wife has died and her belongings given to Alexandria. Thus the terror and love affair begins.

A discussion of some of the outstanding problems of the book of Revelation that emphasizes the story and overall point of the book. The interpretation is informed without being technical, and the entire book is written in a style that is understandable.

The Dragon and the Lamb is a condensed commentary designed to teach adults the victorious message of the Revelation of Jesus Christ signified to John on the island of Patmos to be delivered to the seven churches of Asia Minor. -- preface.

The book of Revelation has long intrigued, puzzled and even frightened its readers. Surely it is the most misunderstood book in the Bible. And some faulty interpretations of Revelation are so entrenched in the consciousness of Christians that they are regarded as "gospel truth" and provide riveting plot lines for end-time fiction. But behind the ancient multimedia show that is Revelation lies a message both simple and profound. It is told in a language and grammar of faith that was clearly understood by its first Christian audience. Much as a music video would scarcely have been understood by first-century citizens, though it is immediately understood by youthful audiences today, so we are puzzled by and misread Revelation. Paul Spilsbury has studied Revelation in the company of its best interpreters, those who have taken the time to enter the minds of the first-century Christians for whom it was originally written. And what has he found? Within the central images of a throne, a lamb and a dragon lies the answer-- the gospel clearly proclaimed the glory of God awesomely illumined the work of Christ memorably embodied the nature of evil hauntingly disclosed Here is a guide that will help us hear Revelation speak, once again inspiring grateful worship and calling us to costly discipleship.
