The Epistle to the Romans and the Gospel of John for generations have been favorite and theologically foundational biblical writings among the devout. Unfortunately, Romans, like John, is quoted a lot more than well understood. Misinterpretation is the mother of misapplication in the business of living out our faith. One other problem in both cases is that some scholarly commentaries are too technical and non-pastoral to enlighten and edify, whereas others are frankly too devotional, too sketchy, and too superficial to really explain the text. This exposition attempts to strike a balance and bring the Sunday meaning forward into Monday morning significance. The goal is that serious students will rediscover the profound message of the ancient Roman church resounding with refreshing force and clarity in a day where pious froth is the norm.Jim Andrews holds a BA in Journalism from West Virginia Tech, an Th.M in New Testament Literature and Exegesis from Dallas Theological Seminary, and an M.A in Classics from the University of Colorado. He has spent 60 years total in the ministry (21 teaching in Bible college and seminary, respectively). He has authored 5 books and has hosted a popular radio program, The Final Word, for the last 20 years while pastored Lake Bible Church in Lake Oswego, Oregon, for the last 34 years. Jim is known for his clear, uncompromising, and forceful expository teaching. He and his wife, Olsie, are native West Virginians. They have two daughters, two grandchildren, and five great grands.

Polishing God's Monuments is the true story of a young woman and her devoted husband who face it all (and then some) as a baffling, mind-boggling illness hijacks their youth and shatters their dreams. It blends straightforward theology with the account of this young couple s afflictions. A sober reality in the life of faith is that "through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God." God's people are buffeted in two ways: sometimes we suffer for the faith and other times we suffer with faith. Either way, our faith remains a work in progress. In the midst of troubles, our emotions can vacillate between hope and despair, submission and rebellion. Our understanding can alternate between moments of comprehension and times of total confusion. This book confronts these issues head-on and offers believers biblical perspective, practical direction, and sustaining hope.

Arteroids is Jim Andrews's shoot-em-up poetry videogame. Arteroids has shot-em-up from North to South America, from Europe to Hong Kong, from Australia to India. It is one of the most well-known works of digital poetry on the planet. This book contains most of the hundreds of texts that the game can display after the player completes a level or is killed by marauding texts. These texts address the player and explore the relations between poetry, games, and play. The book also contains some of the texts that can appear during game-play, and new and old writings by Andrews about Arteroids. "The presentation of poetry in Arteroids is certainly unlike anything a print-based author could achieve. Few examples of electronic literature have ventured to offer such a Futuristic, open and flexible poetic system." Chris Funkhouser
