LIVING WORDS is a 3 level intensive Bible-based English language course designed to take students from their own starting level to a level where they can understand, think and communicate effectively in English. A further, unique aim of this course is to give educators a body of relevant English language learning material with a solid Christian foundation. Our mission was to produce a full set of English language learning materials for the teacher and student, using Bible characters and their lives to teach everyday vocabulary, as well as that commonly used to convey Christian ideas and spiritual principles in a relaxed and fun way. Our goal is to teach children and young adults not only to speak English but, by using the Bible as a base, bring them into a spiritual relationship - a saving knowledge of Jesus.The course of materials contained here develops the theme of God's character as expressed in his love, grace and infinite goodness, proceeding through Jesus' life, death and resurrection, and culminating in the experience of the Holy Spirit's power -- enabling a fully satisfying personal relationship with God in the expectation of Jesus' imminent return.This engaging, in-depth course works particularly well in the communicative classroom actively teaching and learning English as a second language in an English-speaking environment, or as a foreign language course where access to native speakers is limited. In any setting, this curriculum can set the stage for active, engaged classroom learning.

Pbtm: The Triumph And Grace In Deuteronomy This book is a textual and theological analysis of the interaction between the sin and faithlessness of Israel and the grace of Yahweh in response looking especially at Deuteronomy chapters 13 810 and 2930. The author argues that the grace of Yahweh is determinative for the ongoing relationship between Yahweh and Israel and that Deuteronomy anticipates and fully expects Israel to be faithless. Does the Old Testament have an optimistic outlook for the people of God ancient Israel or is it pessimistic The strands of optimism and pessimism seem to be juxtaposed throughout. In this study of Deuteronomy a lynchpin book within the Old Testament the so called tensions between optimism and pessimism are slow to cohere theologically. Despite the faithlessness of Israel Yahweh's faithfulness to his promises results in the triumph of grace.
