WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ARK OF THE COVENANT? and other Bible mysteries by Nick Page
If you’ve ever wondered ‘Just how tall was Zacchaeus?’ or ‘Did Jesus visit the theatre?’ or ‘What did Uzziah’s machines do?” to ‘Why does Rachel want Mandrakes?’, well this book will reveal all, and much more besides.
These and a further twenty other intriguing question are tackled here.
WALKING HIS TRAIL - Signs of God along the way by Steve Saint
Steve Saint grew up in Ecuador in close community with the indigenous Waodani people.
His father, Nate Saint, was one of five missionaries martyred in their attempt to befriend the Waodani (previously known as the Aucas).
In this book Steve and his wife, Ginny, trace the unusual directions their life together has taken, showing that even when the path has been rough and painful, signs of God’s grace and compassion have always appeared as markings along the trail.
This series of thrilling tales will inspire and encourage you - none of us know what we’ll encounter along the trail, but if we watch for the signs, we can be sure that God is travelling with us - and that He cares.
Anecdotal? Yes. But it doesn’t matter that you haven’t read about Steve’s famous father!
ZION’S CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS? by Stephen Sizer (pub. IVP)
‘Many Bible-believing Christians are convinced that God blesses those nations that stand with Israel and curses those that don’t. This belief has had a significant influence on attitudes towards the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Stephen Sizer contends that this view is based on misinterpretation of the Bible.... His intention, in this book, is to encourage dialogue on the relationship between Israel and the Christian church, and offer a more constructive view of the future and our role in it.
For fans of John Stott, the book concludes with a previously unpublished sermon on “The Place of Israel”.
