The Book of Life
What the Bible Says About God's Registry of the Redeemed
Rob Phillips
The very mention of this book raises questions: What is the book of life? Why does it exist? Whose names are written there? Once entered, can names be erased? Why does Christ open the book of life on judgment day? And how can I know if my name is recorded there?
These are weighty questions. Scripture provides fragmentary answers that must be pieced together and laid against the backdrop of all God’s written revelation to understand the divine purpose for the book of life.
In this study, we discover that the book of life discloses the everlasting destiny of all people. It is, John writes, the Lamb’s book of life (Rev. 21:27), and those whose names are written there are shielded from the lake of fire and welcomed into New Jerusalem. Each chapter concludes with a summary of key points and questions for further discussion, making this a helpful resource for personal or group study.
Love, Romance & Marriage
A journey through the Song of Solomon
Eddie Bumpers
There also are bruised egos, lonely nights, and deep longings as the king and his country-girl bride get to know each other better. Through it all, we see there’s no such thing as a perfect marriage. The Song of Solomon doesn’t paint a fairy-tale picture of love and romance, nor does it sugarcoat the real feelings that often are laid bare when a husband and wife share their lives. But through this divinely inspired book of the Bible, we learn about the permanence, power, purity, and pricelessness of true love.
Love, Romance & Marriage offers a compelling and readable exploration of the Song of Solomon. Taken from a sermon series by Pastor Eddie Bumpers of Crossway Baptist Church in Springfield, Mo., this book offers practical steps to help husbands and wives love their mates in the same way Christ loves his church. Each chapter features questions for personal or group study, making this a valuable resource for churches and small groups.
