Behind the scenes of movies like The Ten Commandments, The Prince of Egypt, or Exodus: Gods and Kings is a complicated, and at times, messy biblical story. In this short guide to the book of Exodus, Biblical scholar Peter Enns doesn't just break down the story for the average person to understand but takes us behind the story - to the history and traditions that led us to the story as we have it today. By asking the important questions, and taking us along Moses's and the Israelite journey, Enns brings the best in biblical scholarship to us everyday people.

The only true and unedited telling of the life of Christ - his life and times,in historical context, but not lacking the psychology behind his physical being and spirit. Unlike other books seeking to strip Jesus' story to reveal only the human being, Romano Guardini's The Lord gives the complete story of Jesus Christ - as man, Holy Ghost, and Creator. Pope Benedict XVI lauds Guardini's work as providing a full understanding of the Son of God away from the prejudice that rationality engenders.

Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places reunites spirituality and theology in a cultural context where these two vital facets of Christian faith have been rent asunder. Lamenting the vacuous, often pagan nature of contemporary American spirituality, Eugene Peterson here firmly grounds spirituality once more in Trinitarian theology and offers a clear, practical statement of what it means to actually live out the Christian life.

The contented heart is never out of heart. Contentment is a golden shield that beats back discouragement. True contentment will trust God even when it cannot see him. Why are you discontented? Is it because you are temporarily dispossessed of comforts? You who are discontented because you do not have all you would like to have, let me tell you, either your faith is a nonentity, or, at best, it is just an embryo. It is a weak faith that must have stilts and crutches to support it.

The unicorn remains one of the most persistent and versatile symbols in the history of human imagination. Unlike many mythical creatures that originated as composite monsters intended to inspire terror, the unicorn emerged primarily as a biological curiosity. For millennia, it was treated not as a product of fantasy, but as a legitimate, albeit rare, member of the animal kingdom. This creature has bridged the gap between ancient natural history, medieval theology, and modern folklore, adapting its meaning to fit the cultural needs of every era it inhabited.

Abraham stands as a monumental patriarch across the world's three major monotheistic religions; Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all trace their spiritual lineage to this singular man. His life, as primarily documented in the audiobook of Genesis, beginning in chapter 11 and extending through chapter 25, presents a compelling narrative of faith, obedience, and divine promise.

You were told the Bible was perfect. That it came from God. That it never contradicted itself. And that asking too many questions was dangerous. But not everyone agreed. This book follows the lives and arguments of philosophers, scholars, ex-pastors, skeptics, and former believers. People who read the Bible carefully, seriously, and sometimes devotionally... until it broke under its own weight. From Spinoza and Voltaire to Bart Ehrman and Francesca Stavrakopoulou, The Gospel of Doubt walks through the quiet collapse of certainty. Not with anger, but with clarity.

The Gospel of John is clearly meant to be more than just another version of the same story summarized in the other gospels. John presents Jesus not only as the Son of God but as God incarnate―a much higher and more developed Christology than we see elsewhere in the New Testament. And it describes our relationship with Jesus in deeper terms than the other Gospels do. John seems to have been written in and for a community of believers with a strong sense of mission and a lot of opposition.

"What am I supposed to do with this pain?" Step into the profound exploration of loss and healing with "Walking Through Grief" by Mark Medley. When the pain of losing his beloved wife, Melissa, to pancreatic cancer became an unyielding companion, Mark was haunted by a relentless question: What am I supposed to do with this pain? In the face of life-altering loss, grief can be a thief that robs us of the joys of the past and the hopes for the future. Our losses, in all their forms, can leave us shattered, unsure of who we are or where to turn.

Mary Magdalene is one of the most influential symbols in the history of Christianity - yet, if you look in the Bible, you'll find only a handful of verses that speak of her. How did she become such a compelling saint in the face of such paltry evidence? In her effort to answer that question, Cynthia Bourgeault examines the Bible, church tradition, art, legend, and newly discovered texts to see what's there.

Critics outside the church often accuse the Old Testament God of genocide, racism, ethnic cleansing, and violence. But a rising tide of critics within the church claim that Moses and other "primitive," violence-prone prophets were mistaken about God's commands and character. Both sets of critics dismiss this allegedly harsh, flawed, "textual" Old Testament God in favor of the kind, compassionate, "actual" God revealed by Jesus. Are they right to do so?
