Walton is a masterful artisan with language in poems that at the same time completely steer clear of artifice. Careering explorations carry a great sense of unruffled stillness - this book is a well travelled hardwood chest filled with glittering curios, feathers, loss and tranquillity. The future of this art form lies in experiential reading of fully fleshed works like these. - Les Wicks

This book is a teaching guide and commentary of 2 Timothy. It is designed to be used with your home study group or Sunday School class, and it can be used for individual study as well.2 Timothy is about spiritual power and the explosive, life-transforming power of the Word of God. God's Word is not chained. It can neither be captured, bound, or tamed. This study is about how we can partner with God to loose the power of His presence and of His Word in our lives and in our world. It's not a list of steps to take, but a study to show that if you allow God to fill you to the full, you will also be releasing His power to work its deepest and fullest.
To truly and fully understand Genesis, we must look at more than the details contained in the origins story, the flood, Babel and the biographies. We must look to the unifying themes and purposes of the author to trace his plan for writing. This home and personal study guide walks the reader through twelve unifying themes that show us what Genesis is really all about, and how we can understand God's plan for his people and the world.
When God calls a person to salvation, He calls them to new life in Christ. Besides leaving our lives of sin, one of the most important aspects of being a new creation is that of transforming our minds-learning to think differently, as a child of God. After becoming born of the Spirit, we must learn to "set our] minds on things above, not on earthly things" (Colossians 3.2). It involves a total retraining of our ways of thinking so that we leave the things of this world behind and live in the fullness of what God has for us. God has something very different in store for us than merely living as redeemed people as aliens on the earth. Instead, if we can genuinely put our minds into God's view rather than the natural way we think, the life and power of God will open to us in spectacular ways. This book is to open your mind and soul to the completely different life and way of thinking that God desires for us, so that we can live above life.
