Commands like do not worry and fear not often grace the pages of Scripture whenever God or one of his messengers visits an ordinary believer.

Water is everywhere in the Bible. Whether it's literal H2O or water as a motif, the pages of God's Word are saturated with the stuff. This water kept and keeps God's people alive not just physically, but spiritually as well. In this book, Rev. Dr. Michael Berg reflects on the power of water in Scripture, the impact of baptism, and how this precious sacrament connects believers to Christ. Readers will follow the water story of the Word as it winds through accounts both well-known (creation, the flood) and obscure (the Passover, Naaman) before ultimately bringing us before God in paradise. Additionally, each chapter offers astute connections to the baptismal sacrament and useful takeaways for a Christian life. The book ends with a commentary on the Order of Baptism that explains this rite in an approachable way for laypeople.

How can Christians, who by definition put their eternal hope in Christ, seem to give up that hope and take their own lives? It's a question that we cannot begin to process without using the Bible as our starting point. In And She Was A Christian, the author Peter Preus--writing from a solid scriptural perspective--addresses the theological issues involved with this paradox. Taken directly from God's Word, this book offers a helpful perspective on past views that often emphasized the law more than the gospel when addressing the paradox of Christians committing suicide. And She Was A Christian is aimed at pastors and teachers of the church, as well as Christian counselors who face this challenging situation. At the same time, Christians who have wrestled with this issue themselves will also gain many benefits from reading this book.
