The Bible is often referred to as "God's Word" because believers view it as the Creator's written message to humanity. What do these Scriptures have to say about life's most important questions? In QUESTIONS & ANSWERS From the Bible you'll get honest answers to 170 questions-and scores of others within those answers! The goal is to find out what the Bible itself says on each topic and not what a certain assembly, sect or popular minister says. Christ stressed that a person does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). In other words, your inner self needs and even craves spiritual food for a healthy life! He also said it's necessary to continue in God's Word in order to know the truth... "and the truth will set you free" (John 8:31-32). So, prepare to be fed from the Holy Scriptures with a wealth of knowledge on various key subjects. You'll be inspired, encouraged, enlightened and challenged as you revel in what the Bible calls "the perfect law that gives freedom" (James 1:25).

This is a handbook for Christian ministers and aspiring ministers but, just as much, a handbook for believers in general so they can understand the various types of ministers and what each ministry gift has to offer. Speaking of which, there are five such gifts: apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher, as revealed in Ephesians 4:11-13. This shows that not every minister is a pastor who oversees a local assembly and performs weddings or funerals. We have to get away from this one-dimensional concept because it's simply not biblical. Just as important, this book reveals the main goal of ministers, which is to build people up through the ministry of the word, assist in their spiritual growth, and equip them for the works of service to which God calls them. We'll also look at what ministers are NOT supposed to do, such as abuse people spiritually, mentally or physically. Abuse is the misuse of power. When you understand these things it'll set you free from religious myths about ministers and ministry, not to mention protect ministers from burn-out and people in general from potential manipulation or mistreatment. As the Lord said, "The truth will make you free."

The Song of Songs is arguably the most unique book of the Bible and it's also the most controversial one. Why? Because it's a love story from ancient Israel filled with passionate romantic expression. Most believers find it shocking when they first read it. Historically, some religious people have even wanted to remove it from the canon of Scripture! This book offers a fresh look at this neglected poetic piece of the Bible. Why did God include such an erotic book in Holy Scripture? How are we to interpret the love story? What gems of truth does the LORD want to get across to us in this tastefully romantic epic song? Yet our examination of the Song of Songs is just a set-up for an honest exploration of love, marriage and sex. Let's face it, we live in a hedonistic society where "anything goes." How can believers maintain a fruitful walk with the Lord while maneuvering through the potential minefield of love and sex? How can you find the right mate and have a satisfying, happy marriage?
