Book SynopsisMillions have been inspired by the Bible’s spiritual lessons. Now, Lorin Woolfe provides a unique way to view the Bible: leadership lessons that can be applied to our modern business world. Consider David’s courage and innovation in slaying Goliath with just a stone and a sling; Moses’ outstanding succession planning in picking Joshua; Joseph and the political skills that brought him to the seat of power; and of course, Jesus’ compassion, communication skills, and vision that launched Christianity (a long-term success by any measure). Their achievements -- and their inspired methods of achievement -- offer a different perspective on business leadership.For the dozens of Biblical stories presented, Bible on Leadership provides: A concise retelling of each story One (or more) leadership lessons suggested by each story Examples of contemporary business leaders who exhibit some of the inspire

Yale University Press David
Book SynopsisA reexamination of the biblical David, legendary warrior, poet, and king, by one of America's most respected rabbis Of all the figures in the Bible, David arguably stands out as the most perplexing and enigmatic. He was many things: a warrior who subdued Goliath and the Philistines; a king who united a nation; a poet who created beautiful, sensitive verse; a loyal servant of God who proposed the great Temple and founded the Messianic line; a schemer, deceiver, and adulterer who freely indulged his very human appetites. David Wolpe, whom Newsweek called the most influential rabbi in America, takes a fresh look at biblical David in an attempt to find coherence in his seemingly contradictory actions and impulses. The author questions why David holds such an exalted place in history and legend, and then proceeds to unravel his complex character based on information found in the book of Samuel and later literature. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of an exceptional human being who, despite his many flaws, was truly beloved by God.Trade Review"This is an excellent study of the most fascinating character in the Old Testament."—Wall Street Journal"How can a man who murders his lover's husband in order to cover up an adulterous affair be fit to be king? . . . Wolpe gently and gracefully explores the many facets—king, sinner, father, lover, and husband, among others—that together create David's outsized personality . . . In the end, the author observes, contemporary readers identify with David so well because he is full of contradictions, and he is great because of this complexity, not in spite of it."—Publishers WeeklyFinalist for the 2014 National Jewish Book Awards sponsored by the Jewish Book Council in the Biography, Autobiography and Memoir category"A sensitive and utterly unsparing reading of the most attractive and least edifying character in the Hebrew Bible."—Jack Miles

SPCK Publishing Straight to the Heart of Matthew: 60 bite-sized
Book SynopsisJesus of Nazareth sparked a massive revolution. A lot of people miss that fact. They are so used to the long-haired, blue-eyed, white-robed storybook Jesus that they imagine he was about as tame and domesticated as many of his churches today. But he wasn’t. Jesus was a radical, dangerous revolutionary who made big waves and powerful enemies. He was not killed for preaching pithy parables, but because he claimed to be King. God inspired the Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you will love Phil Moore’s devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to the Straight to the Heart series.Trade Review"Phil Moore has served us magnificently." - Terry Virgo "Most commentaries are dull. These are alive. Most commentaries are for scholars. These are for you!" - Michael Green "Think of these books as the Bible's message distilled for everyone." - Adrian WarnockTable of ContentsCONTENTSAbout the Straight to the Heart Series 11Introduction: The Revolution Has Begun 13 PROLOGUE: THE COMING OF THE KINGDOMOne of Us (1:1–17) 18Holy Joe (1:18–25) 22Unreasonable Response (2:1–23) 26Israel’s Messiah (2:15) 30Unconditional Surrender (3:1–12) 34Three-Dimensional Jesus (3:11–12) 39Unhurried Faith (3:13–17) 43Predictable Foe (4:1–11) 47Follow Me (4:17–25) 51 ACT ONE: KINGDOM LIFESTYLEKingdom Character (5:1–16) 56Kingdom Obedience (5:17–48) 60Kingdom Intimacy (6:1–18) 64Kingdom Priorities (6:19–34) 68Kingdom Vigilance (7:1–5) 72Kingdom Decision (7:13–27) 76Slumdog Millionaires (8:1 – 9:38) 80Deliverance from Rome (8:5–13) 84Authority (8:16–17) 88Son of Man (9:1–8) 93Friend of Sinners (9:10–13) 98Faith (9:18–31) 102 ACT TWO: KINGDOM MISSIONLittle Christs (10:1–42) 108Gehenna (10:28) 112Tyre, Sidon and Sodom (11:20–24) 116My Yoke is Easy (11:25–30) 121Sabbath (12:1–14) 125The Sign of Jonah (12:38–42) 129 ACT THREE: KINGDOM MESSAGEKingdom Secrets (13:1–52) 134Why Does God Allow Suffering?

Inter-Varsity Press Walk His Way: Following Christ through the Book
Book Synopsis'This warm and wonderful book will be a tremendous help to very many' Christopher Ash, Writer-in-Residence, Tyndale House, Cambridge. What does it mean to walk in the way of Jesus? What if reading the same scriptures that he read, and praying the same prayers that he prayed, made following Jesus easier? The Psalms are intended for people who would follow Christ along his path of trust and obedience. Andrew Shead shows us that we can follow Christ through the book of Psalms, a journey through many hardships that ends in joy. He combines an appreciation for the overall story of the book of Psalms, the art of reading poetry well, and the discipline of biblical theology to invite you to follow Christ more faithfully.Trade ReviewThis warm and wonderful book will be a tremendous help to very many Christians seeking to understand and to pray the Psalms in Christ. In my experience books about the Psalms tend either towards dry scholarship lacking in the richness of Christ or to popular devotion lacking in depth. This book is built on careful scholarship and grapples with the text in the context of the whole Bible with Christ at its centre. But it combines these scholarly foundations with a warm pastoral tone and an understanding of how the Psalms engage with the life of faith in Christ today. I am so thankful for it and warmly commend it. -- Christopher Ash, Writer-in-Residence, Tyndale House, Cambridge.Having had the privilege of hearing the talks on which this excellent book is based, I am delighted to be able to study them further in written form. This book will be a blessing to all who read it carefully and will draw you closer to the Lord. -- Dr Peter Jensen, former Archbishop of the Diocese of Sydney and Principal of Moore Theological College; Husband, Father and Grandfather.With an ease that belies the expertise behind it, Shead fits each of his selected psalms into the grand history of Israel and into the grander history of those who follow Jesus. Satisfying to both scholar and common reader, here is a series of exquisitely crafted meditations that will delight the mind, nourish the heart, and quicken feet to Walk His Way. -- Havilah Dharamaj, Head of the Department of Biblical Studies, South Asia Institute of Advance Christian StudiesThe psalms are always spiritually refreshing, but it is easy to read them superficially. This book shows us how to read the psalms deeply, in their Old Testament and biblical context, as poetry full of imagery and emotions. It brings scholarly understanding (of course) but more than that, it takes us through a spiritual story and shows us how walking in Christ's way is deeply satisfying and worth any sacrifice. Reading this, we are brought to the God who walks every step of the way with us. If you want to be the tree whose leaf does not wither, this book shows you how. -- Kirsten Birkett, author of Living Without Fear: Using the Psalms to End your Fear and AnxietyAs I read the Psalms I often wish to have a spiritual tutor next to me, showing me the deeper meanings of what I am reading, how the Psalter is prayed by Jesus and with Jesus, and how some difficult texts may be reconciled with my own Christian experience. This small book by Andrew Shead serves the role of such a tutor. Through a selection of key psalms, the author offers a valuable lens through which to reflect on the Psalter theologically and prayerfully! -- Myrto Theocharous, Academic Dean and Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament, Greek Bible College, Pikermi, GreeceIn Walk His Way, Andrew Shead shows himself to be the best of travel guides. Wise and superbly informed, but also compassionate and companionate. Recognising that the Psalms rate as many people's favourite part of Scripture, Shead unveils for us with clarity and sympathy the riches of God's 'hymnbook' for his people. One finds oneself continually refreshed and delighted by sparkling insights, not least of all concerning God's King, the Christ, the promise of whom is fulfilled in Jesus. The Psalms selected for in-depth exposition (the chapters were originally given as talks) traverse the breadth of human experience, and the tension of living (or walking) by faith in a world wrecked by sin. The volume is worth having for the chapter on Psalm 88 alone. Here is a book on the Psalms that will cause you to treasure, and meditate upon them, all the more. -- Kanishka Raffel, Archbishop of Sydney, Australia.This is a deeply edifying book. Andrew Shead brings us into close engagement with the Psalms, and draws out their Christian meaning with clarity. Vivid illustrations and a warm devotional spirit make Walk His Way a splendid read. I know it will help many people. * Bruce K. Waltke, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Studies at Regent College, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Knox Theological Seminary *
