This book recounts, explains, and treats critically the 20th century American battles on the doctrine of the "third use" of the Law: the Law as a guide, teaching Christians what they should and should not do to lead God-pleasing lives. The author examines the key theologians in this debate and their positions, offers insights into the main issues, and seeks to present a Biblical and Lutheran understanding of the role of the Law in the Christian's life. The book touches on classic points of discussion in 20th century American theology, such as scriptural authority, theological method, doctrine of the Law and Gospel, and the impact made by existentialism.

Imagine a classroom filled with forty students, all of whom are characters in the Bible. This teacher devotional compares students to Biblical characters. The sketches of the "students" claim no historical accuracy, but are the writer's imagination based on historical background.

This book takes a narrative approach with a series of brief, biblical, and personal stories to communicate that both daily and sustained passion for living comes only through and in the Word of Christ.

A Year in the Old Testament will guide you through most of the Old Testament in the course of a year, and do it in a way that is encouraging and manageable. Nothing serves the Christian faith more than diligently and daily reading and searching the Holy Scriptures.

Drawn from the themes of Scripture itself, these devotions consider the salvation plan of God fulfilled in Jesus and carried to the world through the Church. The in-depth, thought-provoking content offers rich insight into Scripture and the Christian life and encouragement in the faith. Along the way you will drink deeply of the fountain of eternal life and gain in understanding of the message of God's Word.

"In our lifetime, we have never experienced a disaster with effects as widespread as the COVID-19 pandemic. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 certainly caused upheaval, but they didn't force people to shelter at home or cause churches to stop meeting. As we slowly work back to our normal lives-or a new normal-we must recognize this will not be the last major disaster we will ever have to face. But what does that mean for the Church, especially the local congregation?"--

"God is present in His name. By His name, the Lord claims us as His own, bringing us everlasting life and salvation. But do we really believe that? Would we use the name of the Lord much differently once this is truly understood? The Lord calls us to honor His name, but sinful humanity is determined to do the opposite. It is so commonplace for His name to be taken in vain that it has lost its shock value-even among Christians"--

"All Christians experience heartbreak, hurt, and grief. Saddened by loss, we sometimes feel paralyzed and uncertain of how to move forward. This booklet is for people left with the gaping wound of grief, those dangling helplessly in sadness, wanting to move forward but lacking the resources to do so. The author reveals eight gifts of God for people wandering in the wilderness of anguish-presence, conversation, faith, hope, love, forgiveness, community, and purpose. He offers practical blessings from the Savior that bring freedom from crushing captivity and provide footholds out of the pit of despair"--

"Dr. Espinosa's first book, Faith That Sees through the Culture, gave Christians an understanding of the culture in which we live and how we can embrace the dynamics of living in the world while not being of the world. Faith That Engages the Culture leads readers to the next step: how to build bridges and establish connections with those to whom we witness"--
