The Holy City begins with a review of the place of Jerusalem in the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Each of these is, in some way, an heir and reinterpreted of the religion of ancient Israel. This book proves the place of Jerusalem according to the religious traditions of ancient Israel as preserved in the Old Testament and some early Jewish texts.

Krista has trained her entire life to follow in her father's footsteps. For generations, her family has carried the sacred duty to protect the royal line of Arlanda from Kuel, the dark fallen god, a responsibility bestowed on her bloodline when the Mighty Ones named her ancestor Champion of the Sword. After her father's death, Krista, disguised as a boy, ventures alone into the world for the first time. Her mind is set on fulfilling her family's legacy, leading her directly to the castle of Arlanda. Swept into a whirlwind of training and politics, Krista struggles to keep her true identity a secret while proving her capabilities as a warrior-and trying not to fall for the prince she is sworn to protect. But Kuel could be anywhere, could be anyone, and the threats against the royal family are growing with every passing day. Krista knows that this battle will end with her, for better or worse. But she has one advantage-the evil one thinks she is already dead.

This text is designed to introduce students of the Bible to the archaeology, geography, and history of many of the important sites of the Old and New Testament worlds. Many of these sites were centers for trade, religion, defense, culture, industry, and government. DeVries details the development of significant sites from villages and towns to cities, based on how the site could meet the essential needs of the people. The availability of water or arable land, proximity to trade routes, and easily defensible terrain were prime factors in determining a city's prominence. This study concentrates on the cities in Mesopotamia, Aram/Syria and Phoenicia, Anatolia, Egypt, and Palestine during the Old Testament period, and Palestine and the provinces of the Roman world during the New Testament period. Special attention is given to the geographical setting of the city, the history of its development, its relevance to the Bible, its distinguishing features, and any significant archaeological discoveries made at the site.

A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Jesus: His Story in Stone is a reflection on still-existing stone objects that Jesus would have known, seen, or even touched. Each of the seventy short chapters is accompanied by a photograph taken on location in Israel. Arranged chronologically, the one-page meditations compose a portrait of Christ as seen through the significant stones in His life, from the cave where He was born to the rock of Calvary. While packed with historical and archaeological detail, the book’s main thrust is devotional, leading the reader both spiritually and physically closer to Jesus.
