    Through Old Testament Eyes is a new kind of commentary series that illuminates the Old Testament backgrounds, allusions, patterns, and references saturating the New Testament. This knowledge was second nature to the New Testament authors and their audiences, but often isn't the case for today's readers. Bible teachers, preachers, and students committed to understanding Scripture will gain insight through these rich Old Tes tament connections, which clarify puzzling passages and explain others in fresh ways. In Revelation Through Old Testament Eyes, Tremper Longman demonstrates that the confusion associated with the images throughout Revelation arises from unfamiliarity with symbolism that Revelation's first readers would have readily comprehended. Avoiding overly technical discussions and interpretive debates to concentrate on Old Testament influences, Revelation Through Old Testament Eyes combines rigorous, focused New Testament scholarship with deep respect for the entire biblical text. "As an Old Testament scholar, I learned much from this excellent contribution by a seasoned and thoughtful colleague; as a Christian, my new understanding led to worship. This is a volume that pastors, scholars, and laypeople will find a valuable companion to reading and studying the canon's final book." --Lissa M. Wray Beal, Providence Theological Seminary "There is no more sure-footed guide to this mysterioius book than a premier Old Testament scholar like Tremper Longman. This exceptionally clear and cogent commentary will open your eyess to this capstone volume of the New Testament like never before." --Mark L. Strauss, Bethel Seminary "In short, to really get into a place where one can understand John's Scripture-saturated mind(which involves many more allusions and echoes than Old Testament quotes) you need a guide who himself has a Scripture-saturated mind. Tremper Longman is your man, for he has labored long in the scriptural vineyard, and always provides us with the good fruit of careful interpretation." --Ben Witherington III, Asbury Theological Seminary

    "Literary Americana fiction filled with humor and heart. When his wife, Angel, is killed in a head-on collision, Gomez Gomez feels he can't go on--so he doesn't. He spends his days in the bushes next to the crash site drinking Thunderbird wine, and his nights cradling a coffee can full of Angel's ashes. Slow, sure suicide, with no one for company but the snakes, Elvis's ghost, and a strange kid named Bones. Across town, Father Jake Morales plays it safe, haunted by memories of the woman he left behind, hiding his guilt, loss, and love behind a thick wall of cassock and ritual. Then a shady business deal threatens the town--and his good friend Gomez Gomez--and Father Jake can't just stand by and watch. But what happens when the rescuer is the one in need of saving? The Beautiful Ashes of Gomez Gomez is quirky, heartfelt, and deeply human. Lives and hopes collide in the town of Paradise, stretching across decades and continents in this epic story of forgiveness, redemption, and love"--

    I know God loves me but I want to experience His love. There are moments in every Christian's life when we hit a "spiritual glass ceiling." In those frustrating moments, we wonder, why do others experience love and intimacy with God but not me? The remedy is not a checklist of actions but a personal, powerful call to come home, to come out of the cold, to forsake the false self--our old identity--driven by pursuit of security, esteem, and power. Transformed into Fire explores the profound spiritual depths found within the routine of daily life through the discovery of our true selves in Christ. You are invited to journey toward the warm embrace of the Father where being and doing, prayer and action--all of life--become a fiery response to His intimate love. "In our fast-paced and hectic world, we can often miss what it really means to love God. [Transformed into Fire is] a treasure of a book, thoughtful and . . . meaty." --Nancie Carmichael author and founding co-publisher Virtue Magazine Judith Hougen (M.F.A. Creative Writing, University of Montana) lives in St. Paul where she is a professor of English. She is an award-winning writer who has published a collection of poetry and has had work featured in numerous literary anthologies, journals, and popular magazines.

    In recent years, America has plunged headlong into legalized gambling in every form. Gambling is seen by many as a means to quick financial solutions--for individuals, governments, charities, and church groups alike. Its grip is so pervasive throughout our culture that it goes largely unnoticed and unquestioned. In this newly revised and updated book, Rex M. Rogers, a recognized expert on this subject, examines the hold gambling has on our culture and how we must free ourselves from its damaging effects, both as individuals and as a society. Along with presenting a clear and biblical analysis of gambling, Rogers also discusses moral and economic arguments, charity gambling, and gambling addictions. "Rex Rogers will open your eyes to a demonic force that is destroying lives and is eating away at the value system of the nation. His book is more than a survey of sociohistorical material on the subject of gambling--it is a call to action." --Tony Campolo Rex M. Rogers (Ph.D., University of Cincinnati) has been the president of Cornerstone University, Grand Rapids, Mich. since 1991. He is also the author and voice of the daily radio program and nationally syndicated newspaper column "Making a Difference." Rex writes and speaks on Christian higher education, politics, leadership, and sociocultural trends.
