Seventeen-year-old Emma Nolan wants only one thing before she graduates: to dance with her girlfriend at the senior prom. But in her small town of Edgewater, Indiana, that's like asking for the moon. Alyssa Greene is her high school's "it" girl... She also has a secret. She's been dating Emma for the last year and a half. When word gets out that Emma plans to bring a girl as her date, it stirs a community-wide uproar that spirals out of control. Now, the PTA, led by Alyssa's mother, is threatening to cancel the prom altogether.

The Kingdom of Jesus came with power. It spread from Jerusalem, throughout Judea, to Samaria, and even reached the hearts of Gentile believers. The ministries of Peter and Paul take center stages, as the Gospel spreads throughout the world, from the holy city where Jesus died and rose, to the capital of the Empire, Rome itself. Journey back to the first century, to the beginning days of the church of Jesus, as a movement of twelve believers becomes a Kingdom of thousands, turning the world upside-down in the process!

In 1997, creator Joss Whedon revisited a screenplay that had previously been adapted into a relatively forgotten horror-comedy film: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Dissatisfied with how the film turned out, Whedon developed his own version of the story as an allegory for the "horrors" of growing up. For seven years, Buffy and her friends (the Scoobies) battled demons, both of the metaphorical and literal kind and, along the way, took part in a series that defines the term "cult classic."

Hard-hearted miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, is haunted by a litany of terrifying apparitions, each bent on redeeming the old man's soul before Christmas Day is come.

In addition are fifteen new illustrations to accompany the timeless tale. The original, unaltered ...

"Have you considered My servant Job?" Those are the words spoken by the Lord to the Accuser. They were spoken with Divine confidence. God knew the character of Job, and knew that he would not forsake his Maker, even in the midst of unimaginable persecution. From a study of Job's inspired book, the Bible student can learn about evil and suffering, about the character of godly people, about the futility of human reasoning, and about the blessed assurance we can have in the midst of trials. God is not dead, nor does He sleep: Wrong shall fail. Right shall prevail. The Lord is in control. Trust...

A verse by verse commentary on the book of Isaiah (chapters 1-39), taking special care to notice the local circumstances surrounding the writing (the threat of Assyria, the growth of Babylon, the sins of Judah), while allowing the many references to the coming-Christ serve as the sizzle to the steak of the letter.

The writings of the wisdom literature books are varied. They are linked only in terms of their common author, but even that is not always a given. Still, most of the writings of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon are penned by the wise King of Israel, and from his words, we learn much. The Book of Proverbs imparts practical wisdom that still enlightens us today, despite being thousands of years removed from their original writing. Ecclesiastes offers tremendous insight into the human experience, and reminds us that all the pursuits of this world, if they are lived without God at ...

The Gospel of John is written with one goal: To show that Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God. To do that, John focuses on two key themes: The amazing miracles He did and His atoning death, burial and triumphant resurrection from the grave. The first eleven chapters discuss key miracles He performed during His ministry: Turning water into wine, healing a child near death, healing a paralyzed man, feeding 5,000, walking on water, healing a man born blind, raising a man from death. The final ten chapters focus on Jesus death and life again, as well as the final words He left His Apostles ...

You do not have to search too intensely to find devotional articles, journal manuscripts, lectureship transcripts, YouTube videos, academic dissertations, and in-depth study books discussing the nature, work, origins, and existence of "The Devil." The enemy of God and man has been a source of discussion for ages. Frustratingly, many discussions place a tremendous amount of focus on extra-Biblical resources, delving deep into secular mythology, ancient poetry, and speculation rooted more in popular culture than in inspired Truth.

In the mid-20th century, a routine mission to the moon resulted in an unmanned rocket missing its mark and tumbling toward the sun. The rocket was presumed lost. Life went on. A century later, the rocket came back. Believed at first to be a piece of space debris, it was soon confirmed to match the description of the ship from the long-lost moon mission. It looks like our rocket, it feels like our rocket, but it is not our rocket. What is it? How did it get here? Who sent it? And why... Debris is a science-fiction story full of mystery, adventure, and contemplation on the human condition and...

Vincit qui patitur, “aquél que persevera en el sufrimiento, triunfa”; J.I. Packer describe con esta frase el lema de la vida y ministerio puritano. Ninguna otra época en la historia de la Iglesia ha producido pastores y predicadores de la talla de los puritanos, firmes en las Escrituras y ungidos por el Espíritu Santo.

Este es el propósito de este libro, aprender sobre el ...
