John F. MacArthur

God's faithfulness is on display throughout Scripture but is especially evident in the books of Jonah, Amos, and Hosea. Through the lives, examples, and messages of these three prophets, we see God’s constant love and forgiveness for Jews and Gentiles alike in spite of blatant disobedience, spiritual adultery, inappropriate worship, and a lack of justice. In the twelve studies within, join John MacArthur to focus on these “Minor Prophets”—so called for their brevity rather than their importance. By working through this study, you will learn that in your life, just as in the lives of the people of Israel, God’s faithfulness is unending—even when our faithlessness is constant.—ABOUT THE SERIES—The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widely respected pastor and author John MacArthur.

From the Foreword, by John MacArthur: "There are few men I respect more than Dr. James Rosscup. Yet, it is impossible to fully appreciate his ministry without understanding his deep affection and profound love for his wife, Mildred."A Story about God's Grace in Marriage and the Indispensable Role that a Godly Wife Plays in a FamilyMildren Rosscup (1932-2008) was not credited with any of her husband's books, nor did she teach any of his classes. But according to Jim Rosscup, Mildred was an indispensable part of their ministry team. Follow along as Jim traces Mildred's history and how it intertwines with his own history. How they met, how they fell in love, and most importantly, how God used them in ministry. Jim writes to commemorate his wife's faithful legacy, while at the same time giving a glimpse into what God can do when a family is focused on humbly serving the Lord together.

Pastor John MacArthur will take you through the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, passage by passage, so that you can better understand the author's message, the cultural context, and the law that God gave to his people.The Israelites' exodus from Egypt marked the end of a period of oppression in their history. It also marked the beginning of God fulfilling His covenantal promise to a man named Abraham, that his descendants would not only reside in the Promised Land but would also multiply and become a great nation. So, at various times, God gave the Israelites a body of legislation—known as the law—to instruct them on how to live properly as the people of God. By this, they were to be distinct from all other nations on the earth.In the twelve studies within, John MacArthur explores these laws that God gave to His people as recorded in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. As you work through this study, you will discover that obedience and the pursuit of personal holiness are always based on the character of God. Because of who He is, His people are to be holy.The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture.

Camina a través de los registros de los Evangelios de las «confrontaciones audaces» de Jesús y descubre cómo usar tu conocimiento recién descubierto de la persona de Jesús para defender la verdad bíblica de la fe cristiana.¿Tienes idea de quién es realmente Jesús?«Lo que pienses de Jesucristo influirá a fondo en cómo piensas sobre todo lo demás», señala John MacArthur. Esta es una verdad fundamental en la vida de todo creyente. Tu visión de Jesús afecta la forma en que ves a Dios, al mundo y cada una de tus decisiones.En estos días, a menudo se presenta a Jesús como un pacifista, un filántropo o un maestro dócil. Adopta una pose plástica, y a veces patética, en la mente de muchos. Algunos prefieren al manso y apacible Jesús que sana a los enfermos, calma los temores y habla de paz y buena voluntad. Estas cosas representan una fase del Mesías. Pero, trágicamente, demasiadas personas nunca han estado expuestas a la totalidad de quién es él. Nunca han tenido una vista completa de 360 grados del Salvador. Su audacia frente a la confrontación y por qué eso importa. Hasta ahora.Resumido de su clásico best seller, El Jesús que no puedes ignorar, Jesús al descubierto hace un recorrido revelador por los registros de los Evangelios. Como un periodista de investigación en una misión, el autor y maestro John MacArthur le muestra una imagen notable y convincente de Jesús al descubierto. Jesus UnleashedWalk through the gospel records of the “bold confrontations” of Jesus and discover how to use your newfound knowledge of the person of Jesus to defend the biblical truth of the Christian faith.Do you have any idea who Jesus really is?“What you think of Jesus Christ will thoroughly color how you think about everything else,” writes John MacArthur. This is a critical truth in the life of every believer. Your view of Jesus affects the way you view God, the world, and every one of your decisions.These days, Jesus is often portrayed as a pacifist, a philanthropist, or a docile teacher. He strikes a plastic—and sometimes pathetic—pose in the minds of many. Some prefer the meek and mild Jesus who heals the sick, calms fears, and speaks of peace and goodwill. These things do represent a portion of the Messiah. But tragically, too many have never been exposed to the rest of him. They have never seen a full 360-degree view of the Savior. His boldness in the face of confrontation and why that matters. Until now.Abridged from his classic bestseller, The Jesus You Can’t Ignore, Jesus Unleashed takes a revealing walk through the gospel records. Like an investigative journalist on a mission, author and teacher John MacArthur shows you a remarkable and compelling picture of Jesus unleashed.
