Book Description
The Shepherd-Flock Motif in the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38) Against Its Historical Background provides a comprehensive survey of the use of the shepherd-flock motif in the ancient world for the readers of the New Testament. This review of Ancient Near Eastern, Jewish, Greco-Roman, and Christian sources is guided by a motific approach that integrates the concept of metaphor, Semantics, and the comparative method. A chief concern of this study is to apply this knowledge to the study of Luke-Acts, especially the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38). The shepherd-flock motif appears to be central in this speech and helps to integrate other motifs and themes in this discourse, such as the kingship motif. The Shepherd-Flock Motif in the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38) Against Its Historical Background is indispensable to the study of motifs in the New Testament and contributes meaningfully to the scholarly research on Luke-Acts.

God wants you to experience the great wonder of moving in and through His grace—on a daily basis. That’s why this book isn’t just about how to discover your spiritual gifts, or even how to receive them—it’s about how to release them! Give them away! The Spirit is demonstrating God’s supernatural power through His church today as realms of His glory are released on a global basis. All of God’s gifts are still fully operational, and every single believer is designed to flow in the river of God, fulfilling his or her destiny. In Releasing Spiritual Gifts Today, you’ll learn the way the Holy Spirit moves and how He operates through spiritual gifts. Then you’ll explore the nine most widely recognized gifts. These are not the only gifts God gives His children, but they are vital to understand and then activate according to His leading for the fulfillment of the Great Commission. This book is filled with examples of how spiritual gifts have been used in action, both within the pages of the Bible and in contemporary times. God desires to pour out His gifts on His people today in even greater degrees of impact and authority. Discover what the Lord wants to do for you and through you by releasing spiritual gifts in a mighty outpouring of His love, grace, and power.

Book Description
The book of Acts tells the story of what happened after the death and resurrection of Jesus. The book is filled with adventure and entertainment as Acts narrates God's activity among his people and the world. In this book I explore one way of reading Acts that attends closely to the plotline of the book and seek to invite readers into the story that Acts tells. Along the way, I examine some of the most important themes of Acts, including divine activity, the extension of the gospel to surprising people in surprising ways, conflict and congruence between the gospel and the broader world, and the ongoing importance of Israel as God's people. While there are many excellent reasons to read Acts, I reflect too upon the theological and ethical vision of Acts for those who read this book as Christian Scripture.

Book Description
It feels like our world is moving in new, uncertain directions and in unknown waters where you need a good anchor. In Jesus Christ, who is our Rock, we have hope as an anchor for the soul. To not be set adrift, one needs to stay connected to that anchor. I have found it is only by regular time in God's Word that it happens. We believe the promise recorded in 1 Peter 1:24-25: The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the LORD endures forever. Day by day, as we come to God's Enduring Word, He has wisdom, strength, and blessing to give us. We can weather storms and enjoy calm waters. We can grow in seasons of drought and bear a harvest for God's kingdom year-round. For 25 years I have prepared a weekly devotional. Here are 365 selected Scripture passages along with an inspirational, encouraging, and helpful thought. My prayer is that you would know and enjoy more and more of God's enduring word. In Jesus, David Guzik
