Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps and Charts

-
Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps and Charts is an in-depth and comprehensive guide to the Bible. It gives an overview of each book of the Bible and additional historical information. There are many charts, maps, and timelines to aid in study. It includes:

† New, full-color, high-resolution maps and charts.

† Downloadable PDFs of maps and charts for presentations and classes.

† Tables, charts, and diagrams that organize Bible information for ease of learning and memorization.

† Historical articles providing insight into Bible times.

† Introductions to each book of the Bible.


I thought this study help was impressive. It not only gave a clear overview of each book of the Bible, it compared many things that the reader might not put together on their own. I enjoyed the Contrast of the Two Adams where they compared the temptation of Adam in the garden to the temptation of Christ in the desert. This book is much more than just a compilation of study helps. It is a faith builder.

As a teacher, I was excited about the high quality charts and graphs. All of the charts and graphs are available online for easy download on Thomas Nelson's website. If you are a teacher or a Bible student that loves to study, you will love this book.

Here is one of my favorite lines in the book: "The Abrahamic Covenant is unconditional, depending solely upon God who obligates Himself in grace to bring about what He has promised."

This book was provided for review by Thomas Nelson.

A Writer's Callous

Alright, baby photo below. Quit emailing me! ;-) I remember having a writer's callous when I was five years old. In my adolescence I hated it. Now, I find it fascinating. Almost as long as I have been alive I have borne a mark that declares I am passionate about something in such a way that it bores into my skin. I have been blessed with wonderful Apple products to use and I still prefer writing things out. I heard Michelle Pfeiffer say David Kelley writes out all of his award winning shows on yellow legal pad. I like that. I prefer a journal and a real wood pencil (the kind that are stained, not the yellow ones.) There's something romantic about it to me. Writing is a choice medium in my relationship with God . I love to prayer journal. I pour out thanks for every minute that I get to spend doing it. In last weeks post I told you that God broke my Mac so I would spend some time alone with Him (then I can have it back in January). Shortly thereafter the enemy came in tel

David Crowder's House Restoration

-

A recent edition of Waco Today featured David Crowder's six year renovation project(we had to go check it out). I said a quiet prayer that God would let our house be completed before six years was up for us and then I dove in to the details. David and his wife bought the home of the man who invented Dr. Pepper. It is encouraging to see something that took so much effort and energy come to completion. May we soon see the same thing. You can read the story of the Crowder renovation here .

Gomer: The Inspiration Board

-

I saw this thing on HGTV once. People would look at these mega-money "inspiration rooms" and try to copy them on a thin budget. I decided I would copy this idea and begin to put inspiration points around the house. My first point is an inspiration board on the front of our house. Much of the paint on the front of the house has been scraped off. So I took it upon myself to sand a whole board down and prime it. She is a beauty. Now, people will be inspired from miles around and flock here due to the inspiration of this one bright white board. At the very least, it has inspired me to want to paint another one.  We had a lovely time of worship here on Sunday at our first night of House Church. The Holy Spirit was so tender with us as He led our hearts to repentance and praise. I am thankful for those the Lord brought here that night to sit in a simple place in a simple way to worship Jesus. Join us this Sunday at 5 p.m. If you are hurt, lonely, broken, or searching, please join
