The Book of Esther

The Book of Esther

Esther is not a very popular book.

Not many people preach on Esther. Indeed, the lectionary, if you know how that works, only encourages us to read it once every three years. Unlike the gospel of Mark, for instance, from which we will read something like 50 times over the course of this year, we get only this one reading from Esther this year, after which the book retires to its quiet canonical spot until 2003.

It is an unpopular book. More – it is a controversial book. More – it is a book about which no less a character than Martin Luther said that he ‘hated’ it. That it was ‘perverse’ – ‘filled with much pagan impropriety’.

Esther is one of only two books in the Bible that never mentions the name of God. It shares this singular honour with the Song of Songs, which is also a controversial book.

It’s not just that the book doesn’t mention God by name. It’s that there is so little that is ‘godly’ going on in the book. There is no worship, no reading of the Bible, no persons of outstanding godly character in the book of Esther. There is no mention of the great Biblical themes of covenant and grace. There doesn’t even seem to be any love in Esther! Sex, yes, there’s plenty of sex in Esther – another point of similarity with the Song of Songs. Yet Esther goes one step beyond Songs by bringing in that other great Hollywood theme – violence.

Esther is a violent book. There is a lot of bloodshed in Esther. There seem to be a good hundred thousand people killed in the story of Esther – men, women, and children – and Esther herself does much of the killing.

This raises two questions:

Why hasn’t somebody made a major motion picture based on the story of Esther?

Why is this book in the Bible?

I’m going to shelve both of these questions until we’ve looked at the story, so that you might be in a better position to make up your own minds.

Chapter 1 introduces us to both the environment of the story and to one of the main characters. We are in Persia in the late 5th Century B.C. The Jews are living in exile, and a king by the name of Ahasuerus is on the throne.

Ahasuerus is better-known elsewhere in history by another name – Xerxes – and is best known for his complete failure to conquer the Greeks in the earlier years of his reign.

Yesterday I watched some of a marathon being run. Many of you will know that the first marathon was run after the battle of Marathon – where one poor Greek guy ran so hard and fast after the battle to tell the good news of victory to his king that he died as soon as he had given the message!

Marathon was a victory to the Greeks over the Persians who were then led by Darius, Xerxes’ father. Xerxes returned to Greece to avenge his father’s defeat in 480 B.C. with an army that Herodutus numbered at 2.5 million! He defeated the Spartans at Thermopylae, but was then thoroughly destroyed by the Greeks in the naval battle of Salamis. He returned to his capital beaten but, like his father, and like his modern counterpart, Saddam Hussein, he managed initially to hang on to absolute power in his own region.

The other story I remember about Xerxes was that story about his friend who held a banquet for a great part of his army on the night before they headed off to battle. In the morning, the friend asked Xerxes if his youngest son might stay with him on the farm to help him look after it. He had three other sons in the army and wondered whether the youngest one might stay at home. Xerxes had the young lad brought forward, had the boy cut in half down the middle, had his army march between the two halves, and said to his friend ‘enjoy your son’s company’ or something like that.

Xerxes/Ahasuerus is not a godly man. Yet he is the absolute ruler of many nations and peoples in this story, including many Jews.

Chapter 1 also deals with Vashti, Xerxes’ wife, the first woman in the Bible to demonstrate feminine assertiveness. Xerxes and his mates are drunk and they invite Vashti in to come and join the fun. Vashti tells them to get stuffed. Xerxes responds with something as chauvinistic as Vashti’s action was feminist – he holds a beauty contest to find a fitting replacement for Vashti.

Xerxes pulls in girls from across the empire, has them dressed up and perfumed up, gives each of them a trial run in bed, and promises to the one who tickles his fancy most, that she will become the new queen of Persia. Enter Esther.

Chapter 2 outlines Esther’s rise to power. She pleases the king more than any of her contemporaries, and is much encouraged by her uncle Mordechai – himself a loyal servant of the king who helps to uncover a plot to assassinate Xerxes, and so earns the king’s favour.

Both Esther and Mordechai are Jews, but Mordechai seems to prefer to remain quiet about his Jewishness, and encourages Esther to do the same. Why? Because there seems to be a fair degree of anti-Semitism spreading through the empire, as becomes clear in Chapter 3 when we meet Haman – the enemy of the Jews.

Why was Haman ‘the enemy of the Jews’? Because he was an Amalekite, and because Amalekites and Jews had always hated each other. The problem actually starts with Mordechai. Haman is appointed Prime Minister, and everybody bows and shows respect to him – everybody except Mordechai. Mordechai shows no respect to this man, despite his office. Why? Because he is a damned Amalekite.

This is a helpful reflection, I think, of the piety of Mordechai. What did it mean to him to be a Jew? Did it mean a personal devotion to the God of the Hebrews? Did it mean praying each day while facing Jerusalem? Did it mean a strict adherence to the 10 commandments? No! None of these things, but it did mean hating the Amalekites. Mordechai was not a model Jew.

Haman decides to punish Mordechai for his insolence by killing off all the Jews, and he convinces the king that this is a good idea. He sets a date for his holocaust 11 months hence.

In Chapter 4, Mordechai appeals to Esther for help. Esther says that she’d like to help but that she can’t really do anything at the moment because the king, it seems, has already grown sick of her. She’s not allowed to just waltz in for a chat with the king uninvited. The king is quite entitled to have her cut in half for showing that sort of insolence.

Mordechai tells her that she shouldn’t live under the illusion that she will be safe in the palace while others suffer. She will end up getting it in the neck too. Esther relents and in chapter 5 she takes her chances with Xerxes and wanders into his throne-room to invite him to dinner. Esther catches Xerxes in a good mood. He doesn’t kill her, but accepts the dinner invitation.

The king and Haman dine with Esther that night, which gets Haman so excited that he decides to accelerate his plans to murder Mordechai, and he builds a scaffold in his back yard to do the job.

Chapter 6 is a sort of comic relief, where the king can’t sleep one night and gets it in his head that he’s being troubled because he never gave Mordechai his proper reward for warning him about the assassination plot.

Xerxes calls in Haman to ask for some advice as to how he should reward Mordechai. Haman meanwhile has completed his gallows and was about to go and lynch Mordechai. When Xerxes asks Haman what he should do to reward one of his most loyal servants, Haman assumes that Xerxes is talking about him, and he recommends very lavish treatment. So it is that Haman ends up having to walk around ahead of Mordechai, singing the praises of the man he wants to kill.

In chapter 7 everything comes unstuck for Haman at another dinner party with the queen. Esther tells Xerxes that Haman is trying to kill her and all her people. Haman is promptly hoisted on his own petard.

Chapters 8 & 9 outline Esther’s revenge. With the cooperation of Xerxes, she manages to not only have Haman hanged, but also all his children, with their bodies hung up on display afterwards. She then asks the king if her people might not go on their own killing spree against their enemies, and indeed, she manages to have the best part of 100,000 people killed over the space of only a couple of days, which is an enormous amount of bloodshed.

Chapter 10 concludes by telling us that this story is remembered each year at the feast of Purim, as indeed it is still remembered by Jews around the world today. And the tradition is, and it’s an ancient tradition, that at the feast of Purim, you are allowed to drink so much wine that eventually you can’t tell the difference between the cries of ‘blessed be Mordechai’ and ‘cursed be Haman’.

This is related to one of the theories as to why the name of ‘God’ isn’t in the book. People were regularly so drunk when they read it, they might accidentally take the name in vain.

And so let us leave this tale of drunkenness, sex, and so much violence, and let us return to our original questions:

Why hasn’t somebody made a major motion picture based on the story of Esther?

Why is this book in the Bible?

The first question I’m not sure I can answer. The second question, I’m wanting to have a go at.

What’s this book doing in the Bible? It’s such a violent story. The characters all seem so ungodly. What sort of role models for our children to these Biblical figures make! It all seems so immoral, so violent, and so damn irreligious!

Maybe that’s the point we can get from this book. It points to the fact that there is an irreligious dimension to the Bible, as indeed, we might say, there is a very irreligious dimension to God!

It has been traditional of course to think of God as inhabiting a world of religion. God is present in His holy temple. God is present with his people gathered. God is at work through the prayers of those who serve him bringing miracles and healings and salvation and life. And all this is true.

And yet we know too that God who is present in His holy temple is also present in the palace of pagan king Xerxes at Susa. We know that God who meets us with His presence when we come to worship will also be present with us when we get home. We know that the God who works through the prayers of his faithful people will still be at work when nobody is praying and when there are no faithful people to be found!

In the book of Esther, nobody is faithfully praying to God, nobody is talking about God, nobody even seems to be thinking about God. But that doesn’t mean that God isn’t there. Indeed we, who can look at the story in the context of the larger body of the Scriptures, know full well what is going on. God is protecting His ancient people. God is fulfilling His promise made originally to Abraham that he would preserve these people. God is being true to the prophecies of hope given by the prophet Jeremiah to these people in exile. God is acting in amazing and mysterious ways to see that His will is done at this point in human history. It’s just that nobody in the story really recognises what is going on.

It seems like a series of happy coincidences for the Jews – Esther getting into a position of great influence, Mordechai being saved by the fact that the king had a bad night’s sleep one night, the fact that the king was in a good mood when Esther took her life into her hands by going to see him uninvited, the fact that Mordechai fortuitously overhead the plot against the king. To the person of no faith, these guys just seem to be lucky. A person of faith calls this ‘providence’.

Providence is that great reality that St Paul was pointing to when he said ‘all things work together for good for those who love and serve Him’. Providence doesn’t deny that God can work in wonderful and miraculous ways. It just asserts that God can also work through very human and very ordinary ways to ‘bring things together for good’. Providence doesn’t deny that God will work through the prayers and through the lives of those who serve him. It just asserts that where there is no one praying or serving, God is still capable of bringing all things together for good.

This is a great truth, though it can be a little disturbing, as it suggests that we might not be as essential to the plans of God as we might have thought.

You know what I mean? I like to think that the whole spiritual future of Dulwich Hill is entirely dependant on us. I believe that God has called us together in this place, and I believe that God has given us a mission in this area, and that it involves working with people on the periphery of our society, and that it involves building a Christian community that makes no distinctions between black and white people, between rich and poor, between educated and uneducated, between male and female, between righteous and less-than-righteous. I do believe that this is God’s will for us, that it is our calling, and that if we are faithful to God and can open our hearts and our homes to one another, then we will see this happen and God’s will will be done.

And yet, if I read rightly the book of Esther, it would suggest to me that, even if we don’t get our acts together, even if we stuff things up, and close our minds, and close our hearts and close our homes to one another, then God’s will will still be done!

This all seems a bit mysterious, but it is something that is addressed directly in the book of Esther itself. I want to turn to the text of the book of Esther again one more time, for there is a passage there that speaks very directly to this precise concern.

In Esher chapter 4, Mordecai says to to Esther:

“Do not think that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silence at such a time as this, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another quarter, but you and your father’s family will perish. Who knows? Perhaps you have come to royal dignity for just such a time as this.” (Esther 4:13-14)

Mordechai is appealing to Esther’s self-interest. Perhaps Esther was planning on dealing with the destruction of her people by minding her own business, Mordechai tells her in no uncertain terms that she will certainly get it in the neck too. But there is more to Mordechai’s threat:

If she fails to do what is required of her, Mordechai seems to be convinced that ‘deliverance will rise for the Jews from another quarter’. We’re not told why he was so convinced of this. Had he had a dream about it? Had he read about God’s promises to the Jews in the Bible? Did his parents tell him about these things when he was younger? We don’t know. But he certainly lets on that he sees some greater destiny controlling the future of his people than the royal decree of Xerxes.

He also wonders if Esther might not have been put in this position for just such a purpose. He doesn’t call it God and he doesn’t even call it ‘providence’. But he seems to believe that things happen for a reason, and he wonders if this might be Esther’s destiny?

Now Mordechai might not have got his theology all worked out, and Mordechai might not have read his Bible well enough to be able to articulate exactly what he intuits to be true, but I think we can fill in the blanks for him. Mordechai is right. It is no coincidence that Esther has been put in this position where she is able to save her people from destruction. God’s hand is in this. This is indeed God’s calling upon her. God has been working in His own mysterious ways as to so order events such that Esther is now given this divine opportunity for service.

And yet? if she doesn’t do it. If she fails her calling. If she keeps her mouth shut and consigns her people to destruction, yet (Mordechai is right) the promises of the Lord will prove true. God will not abandon his people. We can be confidant indeed that, as Mordechai says, ‘deliverance will arise from another quarter.’ God will find somebody else to do it!

Isn’t that a great analysis of the place of Esther in the plan of God – she is an important player, but she is not vital. She is significant, but not essential. Isn’t this a good framework within which to understand the part that we all play in the work of God?

We are all called by God to be servants of God and soldiers in the army of Christ – called to do His will in the various different roles to which he calls us. And if we follow Christ and we do as we have been called to do, then God’s will will be done and His work will be accomplished. And if we don’t genuinely follow Christ and we don’t do what we’re called to do, then God’s will will still be done and His work will still be accomplished – ‘deliverance will rise from another quarter’ – God will find somebody else will do it!

We are important players on God’s team, but we are not vital to the team. We play a significant role in the plans of God for this world, but not an essential role. Every good work we do in the name of Christ contributes to the final coming of His Kingdom. And yet, even if we fail completely in the works to which God has called us, His Kingdom will come anyway.

I find this strangely comforting when I think about our situation here in Dulwich Hill. God has called us together here to be his witnesses in this community. He has brought us together, I believe, to play that special role in caring for people on the periphery of our society. He has called us together to build us into that all-inclusive Christian community. And if we are willing to make the sacrifices and follow Christ and open our hearts and open our homes, then we will see God’s deliverance come to this place. And if we fail to do it, then, I guess ‘deliverance will come from another quarter’. God will choose some other group to do it. We’ll miss out on the privilege of being involved in that wonderful work. The work of the Kingdom of God will go on.

There is a beautiful perspective there in the book of Esther, I think, that takes seriously the ordinary secular human world in which we live in, and which recognises the validity of human decision making, and yet which, at the same time, recognises that this world is God’s world first and last, and that our decisions and actions, while significant, cannot ultimately over-rule God’s decisions about the future of this world.

We are real players in the divine drama, but ultimately He is the Alpha and Omega. He is the beginning and the end. He is the creator and He is the saviour. His is the future and His is the Kingdom. And if we can serve Him then we must serve Him. And if we fail, then we fail. And ‘If we perish, we perish’. And yet we can say in faith ‘Thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever. Thy Kingdom come. Amen.’

Below are some cheap but quality products related to How Christ Demonstrates His Love For His People Through Songs. Enjoy!

Christ, His Church and the Apostles (CD) $18.95 Through the Apostles, we come to Jesus himself.” — Pope Benedict XVI In this fascinating and inspirational journey with the chosen disciples of Jesus, Pope Benedict XVI demonstrates a profound, unbreakable continuity — built upon the foundation of the Apostles and alive in the succession of the Apostles — by which Christ is present today in His Church. “At the start of the third millennium, my beloved predecessor John Paul II invited the Church to contemplate the Face of Christ (cf. Novo Millennio Ineunte, n. 16 ff.). Continuing in the same direction, I would like to show in this book how it is precisely the light of that Face that is reflected on the face of the Church (cf. Lumen Gentium, n. 1), notwithstanding the limits and shadows of our fragile and sinful humanity. After Mary, a pure reflection of the light of Christ, it is from the Apostles, through their word and witness, that we receive the truth of Christ. Their mission is not isolated, however, but is situated wthin a mystery of communion that involves the entire People of God and is carried out in stages from the Old to the New Covenant.” — From The Apostles

The Mutual Love of Christ and His People: An Explanation of the Song of Solomon for Personal Devotio $9.99 “The courtship of the Song of Solomon provides fascinating scenes and events designed to show the love of Christ for His redeemed people, and theirs for Him. Here, also, are lessons for Christians when they become cold or backslidden, showing the way to recover Christ’s presence in their lives. Prophecies of Christ abound in the Song, together with views of the bride’s destiny, as she prepares to cross the mountains into eternal glory, where the greatest wedding of all will take place.”

Our Saviour And His Love For Us $21 The profound meaning of Our Lord’s words and actions remains hidden to most of us, but it will not be hidden after a reading of Our Saviour and His Love for Us. Here the eminent Thomist Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange – probably the 20th century’s greatest theologian – probes the meaning of 32 different topics relating to Our Lord and how they all show His love for us. Written for all to understand, the purpose of this book is “to enlighten interior souls desirous of becoming more closely united to the Saviour.” The author readily acknowledges that theology done well leads back to and enlightens faith, from whence it springs, and he has provided in this book a sound and intelligible theological base for an analysis of Our Saviour’s interior life and its often hidden meanings for our own interior life. For, as the author points out so well, Our Saviour’s interior life is actually the best model for our own. Each chapter of this book is a marvellous, self-contained essay that could easily stand alone…and that could become a beautiful booklet by itself. The author includes such subjects as The Motive of the Incarnation, The Sanctity of Jesus, The Human Will of Our Saviour, Jesus’ Humility and Magnanimity, The Priesthood of Christ, Christ’s Victory over Death, Christ’s Interior Oblation, Our Participation in His Mysteries, The Infinite Value of each Mass, and so forth – the last of which is alone worth the price of the entire book! Basing his explanations on Scripture, the Liturgy and the lives of the Saints and mystics, the author models this book on St. Thomas’ Treatise on the Incarnation. No one reading this magnificent book will fail to be surprised, enlightened and inspired by the probing light of Garrigou-Lagrange’s analysis of the life and work of Our Saviour and how they relate to us and show His love for us. For most people, this profound and edifying book will be an absolute revelation about Our Lord and will instill in all a grand appreciation for Our Saviour and His love for us.

KH008 $99 Edgy, bold, and willing to make a statement.  These Keith Haring earrings represent exactly who he was as an artist.  The popular “dancing man” is solid brass and plated in 18k gold, with racy red enamel.  His top and bottom halves are connected with brass chains, for a look that you’ve never seen before.  This dancing man hangs about 2 1/4″ and is about 1 1/4″ in width. Born May 1958, Keith Haring was an openly gay artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s.  He was inspired by graffiti art, and his bold lines, vivid colors, and active figures carry strong messages of life and unity.  By expressing universal concepts of birth, death, love, sex and war, Haring was able to attract a wide audience and assure the staying power of his imagery, which has become universally recognized in the 20th century. In 1988, Keith Haring was diagnosed with AIDS, which resulted in his establishment of the Keith Haring Foundation in 1989.

Beyond Self: The Imitation of Christ $8.99 “Thomas Kempis was not an extraordinarily gifted person. He was born Thomas Hammerken, entered a monastery at the age of 19, and remained there until his death in 1471.

It is a vivid and precise illustration that it is God who is in control and not man; a fascinating example of how the Lord has orchestrated the events in my life for His own purpose and Glory. This book is written for: The adopted–particularly the abused, who may think God has forgotten them; and the assurance that He has not. The discouraged–Christian and non-Christian alike, who may wonder if God cares about their individual struggles, the “Where is He when I need Him?” type feelings; and revealing the certainty that He is very much involved in our lives, whether we can see it or not.

His life story is both heartbreaking and encouraging as he discovers a God who loves him, and a family who has deeply missed him.” –Pastor Matt Mancini Heritage Presbyterian Church “As a Certified Christian Counselor, I highly recommend reading His Purpose for Me; a very therapeutic story for anyone who has suffered any form of abuse, and aperfect example of great hope when God is allowed to work in our lives.” –Ronald J.

Born in His Image, Birthed in His Likeness $14.99 “The church today is in the midst of an identity crisis. Many members of the body of Christ do not yet know who they really are. Heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, they nevertheless live defeated lives as spiritual paupers, unaware of their legacy: to be born in His image and birthed in His likeness. God’s desire is to mold each of His children into masterpieces of His grace, to transform them into the likeness of His Son. A new heart is the key to this transformation. Our hearts must be pure and perfect if we hope to see God, and we receive a new heart only by putting on Christ and allowing Him to transform us into new creatures in His likeness. Our destiny as believers is to be like Him, but we must be totally committed to Him in our heart. Do you want to fulfill your destiny? This book will show you how to leave the mundane behind and ascend to the higher levels of godliness into the very infinite image of Christ to become God’s masterpiece Dr. Donald R. Downing is the apostle for the “gospel of the heart” message to the nations.

From Cult to Christ $16.99 “If cults are so off base, why do they have so many members? Why are they attractive and what causes otherwise intelligent people to be interested in them? Are people who join cults stupid or disillusioned? And how can we avoid being tricked ourselves or keep our family and friends from being tricked? From Cult to Christ answers these questions and more. It tracks one man’s journey from “discovering God” as a young child, to disillusionment with the organized church, to a cult. It tracks through the process of discovering truth through devastating loss, to exiting the cult and entering into the light of Christ’s love through the touch of a loving friend. It’s a real life journey with many twists and turns, triumphs and failures, and loss and restoration. And, finally, it guides the reader into understanding a little more about the new birth and how to know Jesus.

The Divine Romance – The Song of Jesus and His Bride $11.99 “You have one. I guarantee it. Deep in your heart is at least one dream left unfulfilled. Stop for a moment and think about it. Finish this sentence: The only thing I ever wanted in life was. Whether you recognize it or not, your dream is to experience a fervent love that endures forever. It is a dream of love, planted in your heart by God to draw you into His embrace. Just as Solomon romanced his bride with singing, Jesus is singing over you and calling you into a heartfelt intimacy.

In His Image $11.99 “The basic premise of this collection of studies is that God created man in His image with the intent that man reflect that image. God has always set a perfect example of a loving father for man to follow. Man, however, chose not to follow this example and rebelled. Through sin the image of God has become distorted, and what is reflected in most of man’s personal relationships is a varying degree of that distortion. In this study of the history of biblical families, the distorted image these biblical characters passed on is examined. Of special interest are the choices they made and the consequences of those choices within their families. Each chapter concludes with a comparison of the image that man reflected to the example God has set. Personal application questions are designed to challenge one to consider the image they are reflecting in their families and personal relationships.

She has taught at Bible colleges and spoken in churches and women’s groups in Asia, Africa, Europe, Israel, and the United States.

Christ’s Heart Betrayed $18.99 “2000 years have passed and the Temple of the Living God is still full of moneychangers. When Jesus left He empowered His followers with the Holy Spirit but today’s church seems powerless to affect the world in the manner Jesus did. Why? Michael Disciple decided to find the answer and found that the Body of Christ HAS FAILED to place the “Desire of Jesus’ Heart” as the first priority to seeking His Kingdom and making way for His return “Christ’s Heart Betrayed” is the first book in the Mangled Cross Series. The “Mangled Cross” refers to Christianity as a worldly religion. And just like all other religions it tries to conform our Creator into man’s thinking and this world’s reality instead of seeking genuine fellowship with our Holy Creator in His reality. “Christ’s Heart Betrayed” will focus on how we have been unfaithful to “The Heart of Christ.” His Heart’s desire “IS” what He created us to be in the first place: HIS FAMILY We must seek deeper fellowship with Him so that we can KNOW what brings His Heart joy and avoid what brings His Heart sorrow By knowing His Heart we hear His voice, find all the answers to life’s questions and answer our Lord’s Garden Prayer, for us to be ONE Are we ready to shine God’s light into this world like it has never been done before, exposing all the enemy uses to blind us to the Life giving Gospel of our Lord, Savior, Master, Brother and Friend, Jesus Christ.

Who Is Jesus Christ? Unlocking the Mystery in the Gospel of Matthew $14.95 “Who do you say that I am?” Christ’s contemporaries ascribed many names and titles to Him, as we see recorded in the New Testament. Each one tells us something different about who Jesus is. In this book, Eric Sammons frames a series of thoughtful reflections on the names of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew with references from the Church Fathers, saints, and Doctors of the Church. He “translates” the depth of the mystery of the Faith so you can discover new dimensions of the person of Christ and new ways to recognize and welcome Him into your life. “This volume exemplifies what the world Synod of Bishops recently called for: sound biblical resources that help people encounter Christ, the Word made flesh, in the reading of Scripture.” — Mary Healy, Ph.D., General Editor, Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture “Eric Sammons knows how to cut to the chase with grace and aplomb. Who Is Jesus Christ? is the most important question that has ever been asked in the history of the human race and he ably helps us answer it — and all the deepest longings of the human heart — through the Christ he serves so well.” — Mark P. Shea, Author, Mary: Mother of the Son “Drawing on his own faith journey and his personal experience, Eric Sammons demonstrates how the lived Word of God — reflected in the lives and writings of the saints and prayers of the Church — can help us to better know Jesus and to strive to form our daily lives into his likeness. Who Is Jesus Christ? is a work of devotion and readers should find it both inspiring and encouraging.” — Most Reverend Donald W. Wuerl, S.T.D., Archbishop of Washington “Those who read this book will be richly rewarded as they seek to encounter the Lord in Matthew’s Gospel.” — Father Giles R. Dimock, O.P., S.T.D., Prior, Dominican House of Studies

Reverberation: How God’s Word Brings Light, Freedom, and Action to His People $12.99 “>What is the most effective way to grow a church? It’s not a new methodology or cultural outreach strategy, it’s…the Word of God. In this book, Jonathan Leeman wants you to realize that the Word, working through God’s Spirit, is responsible for the growth of God’s church and we need to trust it Leeman not only informs and equips the leadership of local churches for greatest effectiveness in their preaching ministry but explains how to translate that into the life of the church throughout the week. The book also deals with two errors – not trusting the Word (resulting in a pragmatic ministry philosophy) and not living in light of the Word, (resulting in a ministry philosophy of “preaching is enough”). >”Reverberation” explains the pulpit ministry and traces the theme of how the Word continues through the life of the church. Both theological and practical, “Reverberation “focuses on how the church hears, responds, discusses, implements and is transformed by the Word. No high-octane production, superstar personalities, or postmodern entreaties, just stuff that is really old, really good, and really powerful”

Transforming Your Life Through the Eucharist $14.95 The Holy Eucharist has nourished the Faith of Catholics for centuries — but it’s all too easy to let routine dull your sense of the transforming power of this sacrament. This book will stir the embers of your love for the Eucharist into a bright glowing flame. In it, Fr. John A. Kane explores the selfless humility shown by Christ in His Presence in the Eucharist, opening the way for you to receive greater spiritual fruit from worthier receptions of Communion and from adoration of Christ in the Eucharist. You’ll learn how the Eucharist is truly a sacrament of love — a sacrament that not only demonstrates Christ’s love for you, but gives you the grace you need to love God and your neighbor with a fervor unquenched by passing changes in fortune or feelings. As Fr.

Transformed by His Glory $12.99 “As children, we memorized and recited the fruit of the Spirit in Sunday School classes and VBS, but what does it mean to possess those seemingly unattainable traits? Learn how our commitment to being Christ to the world becomes meaningful when we reflect His love, joy, and peace, enabling us to be consistently kind, patient, and good. Encounter a life where the Holy Spirit bears fruit within you. Paper.”

The Apostle Paul and His Message of Christ $11.99 “The amazing story of the great apostle, Paul, is one of transformation, humility, suffering and spirit. It is one that surpasses the fortitude of a mere human being, but rather, one that is touched by the Lord. Paul, once feared for his tenacious persecution of Christians and never having even met Jesus in the flesh, would be an unlikely candidate to spread the word of Christ. Yet, God, in his incredible and mysterious way, would choose Paul to carry on the spirit of the Lord. This is the story of Paul’s life and travels, the history of the region in which Paul lived and traveled and the miraculous works and words that still inspire humanity, nearly two thousand years later. A native of Ohio, Sonja Guenther currently resides in Littleton, Colorado with her twin sons. She is a professional in the insurance field and a nationally-known speaker on workers’ compensation insurance topics. She earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees, with honors, from Regis University in Denver, Colorado. She is a long-time member of St. James Presbyterian church and currently holds an Elder position there. She enjoys golf, running, hiking, travel and cycling, as well as writing and has published both poetry and lyrics for Christian songs.”

Words And Works Of Jesus Christ $34.99 “The life of Jesus Christ takes on fresh clarity and meaning in this masterful work by Dwight Pentecost. The words, the miracles, and overarching message of the Messiah come alive in flowing and detailed chronology, set against the cultural, political, and religious setting of his day. You’ll gain new understanding of why Jesus came, how he operated, and what he accomplished. Above all, you’ll acquire a deeper appreciation for the love that guided his path, beginning in a manger in Bethlehem, leading through three and a half years of ministry that ended abruptly at the cross on Golgotha, and blazing forth in eternal triumph at the resurrection. Drawing liberally on the works of others who have written about Christ, such as Alfred Edersheim, J. W. Shepherd, W. Graham Scroggie, and Frederick Faraar, Dr. Pentecost reveals in his own writing a familiarity with the subject that comes from years of teaching. Yet he writes, not as one who knows all there is to know about Christ, but with the restraint of one who knows that Jesus is to be worshiped and adored as the great King, and that no book can do more than begin to tell all the wonders of his being and his love.”

Christ Giving His Blessing and Apostles $39.99 Christ Giving His Blessing and Apostles – Giclee Print

Bride Of Christ $15.99 “Few Christians realize the profound Biblical parallels between the earthly marriage relationship and the relationship between Christ and His bride, the church. By clarifying these parallels, this in-depth study will give the reader a new and unique perspective on his or her relationship with Christ, and a fresh look at God’s intent for the earthly marriage relationship. To help people understand God’s intent for man, Jesus used the analogy of marriage to teach that he didn’t come to bring religion, but a love relationship. And, as a prospective groom lovingly prepares a home for his bride-to-be, so Christ is preparing an eternal home for his bride, the church. In our earthly marriage, and in our anticipation of eternity, we should conduct our lives in light of the fact that we are Christ’s bride.”

Mrs. Christ $11.99 “As we seek a living relationship with God, we must first know His Son. Mrs. Christ brings deeper revelation of who the Son of God is: His role as a husband to His bride and the spiritual tie that binds us to Him. Was the institution of marriage ordained for the union of Christ and the Church? Are we to learn of our heavenly husband through the same intimacy shared between man and wife? Is the Church truly the Mrs. of the One who sets by the right hand of the Throne of God? These questions are answered in this journey to understanding the institution of marriage and its role in connecting us to our Savior. Jeff Mullins is a freelance writer. He and his wife, Robin, founded Ascended Life Ministries and the website mrschrist.com. Broken, hopeless and dying in a prison cell, Mrs. Christ was written while Jeff’s life was miraculously transformed through the revelation of God’s passionate love for His Bride.

The Shadow of His Wings [CD] $34.95 In the early 1960s, Fr. Gereron Goldmann, a Franciscan stationed in Tokyo, felt moved by the Spirit to write his autobiography. Who was this Father Gereron, who the Japanese people knew only as a saintly priest? He was a former officer in Hitler’s personal dreaded SS! Therein lies a story you don’t want to miss. Shadow is a powerful testimony to the providence of God, the power of prayer, and the courage that comes from fidelity to the sacramental life. It is also a breathtaking adventure story. Each of Fr. Gereron’s World War II ordeals, from Paris to Poland to the hellish Russian front, was more brutal than the last. However, the young seminarian, and later priest, remained rooted in his Catholic convictions proclaiming the Faith to his Nazi countrymen with a bravery that could only come from heaven. On one level, the book attests to the importance of forming children early in the Faith because of the influence of Gereron’s father. On another level, Shadow reveals how persistent prayer can form a “web of grace” that binds together the Body of Christ. The power of prayer was proven when the Pope granted special permission for his ordination, while still a soldier. Discover other miraculous “coincidences” in the life of SS officer Goldmann that testify to the protection of being “under the wings of God.” – How Himmler gave Gereron permission to practice his faith. – How his assignment to Lourdes and Rome at critical moments fulfilled prophecy. – How he escaped execution after being arrested for his role in the plot to assassinate Hilter! – How he constructed chapels, preached 2000 sermons, and started a school of theology. Fr. Gereron received the wisdom to discern God’s will and the courage to carry it out from his devotion to the Eucharist and his pledge to “do the right thing” despite all opposition. And, most important, he learned that your prayers will be heard–you only have to follow where He leads. CD version is read by Dr. Frank Kelly, Ph.D.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG The glassdomed palmroom of the Grand Continental Hotel Magnifique in Rome is of vasty heights and distances, filled with a mellow green light which filters down languidly through the upper foliage of tall palms, so that the two hundred people who may be refreshing or displaying themselves there at the teahour have something the look of underwater creatures playing upon the seabed. They appear, however, to be unaware of their condition; even the ladies, most like anemones of that gay assembly, do not seem to know it; and when the Hungarian band (crustaceanlike in costume, and therefore well within the picture) has sheathed its flying tentacles and withdrawn by dim processes, the teadrinkers all float out through the doors, instead of bubbling up and away through the filmy roof. In truth, some such exit as that was imagined for them by a young man who remained in the aquarium after they had all gone, late one afternoon of last winter. They had been marvelous enough, and to him could have seemed little more so had they made such a departure. He could almost have gone that way himself, so charged was he with the uplift of his belief that, in spite of the brilliant strangeness of the hour just past, he had been no fish out of water.

Jesus: A Meditation on His Stories and His Relationships with Women $6.99 “”We must begin our story of Jesus by granting him permission to surprise us endlessly….” —from the Introduction >Jesus of Galilee taught through stories, which even today contain the power to startle us out of our prejudices and preconceptions. Now Father Andrew M. Greeley, one of America’s most beloved storytellers, examines the parables told by Jesus in search of a fuller understanding of the man and his message. >This engaging and informal collection of homilies reveals a Jesus whose simple parables carry profound lessons about the Kingdom of Heaven. Along the way, Father Greeley touches on such provocative topics as the significance of Jesus’s Jewish roots, his deep and revolutionary relationship with women, “The Da Vinci Code, ” and “The Passion of the Christ.” He also singles out the four greatest parables, which best illustrate the infinite love and mercy of the God whose kingdom began with Jesus and continues even today. >As a storyteller, Jesus often surprised his listeners with unexpected twists that challenged them to see the world in a whole new light. Father Greeley’s insightful tour of the Gospels provides a fresh look at the parables that strips away centuries of false and mistaken interpretations to get at the essential truth of who Jesus really was and what he believed.”

In His Steps $9.95 “In His Steps is a most unusual appeal to the Christian to follow in Christ’s steps, regardless of what others might do. A new wave of interest in Sheldon is sweeping the United States as young people reiterate Sheldon’s question: “What Would Jesus Do?”"

Encountering Christ $14.99 “Journey with Robert Scott Stiner back in time to the dusty roads of Palestine to walk with Jesus and His disciples.

When a Woman Loves a Man: Pursuing His Heart $9.99 “>When a woman loves a man it’s like all the cliches you have ever heard. She “stands by her man.” He has “sunshine on a cloudy day.” She makes him feel like “a natural man.” When a woman loves a man you are looking at how Christ loves. She puts his needs before her own. She focuses on what he needs and how he needs it. When a woman loves a man she is his biggest cheerleader and encourager. She will go to great lengths to protect him and promote him. Although Jezebel was definitely an ungodly woman she showed her love for Ahab, even though that love contributed to her death. When a woman loves a man she stands by him against all odds, in front of him against all foes, and behind him to protect his back. > The Bible states that God took part of the man’s rib and made the woman. This is significant for many reasons, one of which teaches us that the woman’s love would be expressed in her protection of her husband emotionally. The ribcage protects the vital organs like the heart and the lungs. Yes, God has made man the physical protector of the woman but He’s equaled the playing field by making the woman the emotional protector of the man. It has been said that man is the head, but it is the woman that turns the head. In Titus chapter 2 the older women are to teach the younger women how to love their husbands. “When a Woman Loves a Man” will explore and explain the characteristics that a woman demonstrates that expresses her love to her man in the way that God intended.”

Shaking Hands with God: Understanding His Covenant and Your Part in His Plan for Your Life $14.99 “How much do we know about God? Are we merely supposed to worship God but not know Him? The prophet Isaiah instructs us to, Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near (55:6). Yet how does God, who cannot be seen with the natural eye, relate to humans? God’s chosen way of restoring relationship with His creation is covenant. With the book of Genesis as his starting point, Dick Bernal, founding pastor of Jubilee Christian Center in San Jose, CA, creates a vivid portrait of God’s redemptive plan for His people by examining covenant as it unfolds through biblical history and into our lives today. Through nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, Pastor Bernal has discovered that those who understand covenant possess a strong and trusting faith in God, and he has a passion to instill in believers a resounding affirmation of their rightful position in Christ, the ultimate consummation of God’s covenant.

After all, as she puts it, “The Holy Bible tells a story. It’s a long story. It’s one story . . . of amazing love. My prayer is that you will discover you are amazingly loved.”"

The Milk of His Word $15.99 “In this book, we will learn the six basic doctrines of Christ. What we must learn to get our flesh under our feet. This writing reveals many issues concerning our walk with the LORD as we grow into His image through trials and tribulations, mostly brought on ourselves by our own ignorance. Hosea 4:6 states: “MY PEOPLE are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, “I” will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to Me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your GOD, “I” will also forget your children.” Amos 3:3 states: “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” We ARE UNDER GRACE, to learn of His ways as Exodus 33:13 tells us: “Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found grace in Your sight, SHOW ME now Your way, that I may know You, that I may find grace in Your sight: and consider that this nation is Your people.” Tough words, but we, His called out ones, must repent and learn His word so Psalm 119:105 is alive to us: “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.” It is time for the truly repentant church (us) to grow up and learn of His higher ways and walk in agreement with the Most High, as Enoch did in the Old Covenant. Revelation 19:7 tells us: “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come and His wife has made herself ready.” He then will return, NOT UNTIL UNTIL WHEN, when we put His word in our hearts and come into agreement with the Most High, having put the SIN NATURE UNDER OUR FEET and walk in HIS COMPLETED VICTORY as a glorious church.”

On His Mark, Get Set, Grow $33.99 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down . . . but others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold. -Luke 8:5,8 God has a plan for every person on this earth. However, like the seed, that plan can only come to fruition if the person comes into the light of Christ, is nurtured from the Word, and undergoes the process of spiritual growth that will make him or her into a mighty person for God. On His Mark, Get Set, Grow explains this process of growth and reveals the believer’s capacity to obtain holiness. It offers insight as to how a person who is seeking to become more like Christ can mature in holiness and avoid some of the pitfalls that the enemy will create to steer him or her off the path of understanding.

Touching Godliness Through Submission $11.95 “The topic of submission elicits strong opinions from many people both inside and outside of the church. In his latest book, Touching Godliness through Submission, K.P. Yohannan, president and founder of Gospel for Asia, stakes out territory in one of the most misunderstood and controversial issues in modern Christianity. Drawing upon the life of Jesus as the ultimate example of truly yielding to God’s will, Yohannan explains how something we see as our own worst enemy, submission, is actually the true pathway to freedom, healing and blessing. “You will find submission at the crossroads of every conflict in life,” Yohannan said. “From children and their parents to the worker and his boss to the citizen and his president, you’ll find people struggling with the concept of submission to authority. This teaching touches on daily life no matter what our current role.” In Touching Godliness through Submission, Yohannan mixes highly practical and deeply divine concepts as he probes into the role of Christ and the fall of Satan. He also shows how man’s natural tendency toward rebellion was inherited from the first man, Adam. Yohannan then explains the true nature of submission in the Christian’s life, using illustrations drawn from Bible heroes as well as from events in his own life. A prolific author and highly regarded ministry leader, Yohannan often challenges commonly held views of Christians around the world. His previous books, including the landmark Revolution in World Missions, have moved many readers to abandon shallow Christianity in favor of a more intense, personal relationship with God. In Touching Godliness through Submission, Yohannan guides readers through the landmines of misconceptions about this often misunderstood subject. Gospel for Asia is an evangelical mission organization based in Dallas, Texas involved in sharing the love of Jesus across South Asia.”

Song of Songs $38 “The most intimate of all human relationships, according to the Bible, is that between a husband and a wife. It is not surprising, therefore, that there is a book of the Bible, the Song of Songs, that focuses on this relationship. What is surprising is how little attention is given to the Song of Songs by scholars, by the church, and by readers of the Bible. With this volume, however, Tremper Longman III has written a fine commentary on the Song of Songs, unpacking for modern people what this ancient love poem says about the male-female relationship — and, by analogy, about God’s love for his people.>Longman’s superb study begins with a thorough introduction to the Song of Songs and its background. Longman discusses the book’s title, authorship, date, literary style, language, structure, cultural milieu, and theological content. He also canvasses the long history of interpretation of the Song of Songs, a history too often characterized by repression of the text. In the commentary itself, Longman structures the Song of Songs according to its twenty-three poetic units and explains its message verse by verse. The exposition is made clearer by Longman’s adoption of an anthropological approach to the text and by his frequent comparisons of the Song of Songs with other ancient Near Eastern literature.>Learned yet highly accessible, innovative yet fully informed by past scholarship, this commentary shows the beautiful Song of Songs to be a timeless celebration of human love and sexuality.”

How do you maintain a faith in an all-powerful, loving God when bad things happen to you? Many of us have been confronted by that question at some point in our lives.

When tragedy struck and Kercher’s world came crashing down around her, she had no one but God to turn to for answers and comfort. She had to trust in Him to carry her through.>”

You Are The Christ $14.99 “Everyone supposed that Jesus, the man from Nazareth, was the son of Mary and Joseph the carpenter. But who was He really? The debate over Jesus identity has continued for two thousand years. Was Jesus actually God or was He simply a man with an unusual teaching gift? Did He possess a divine nature that equipped Him to perform miracles, or were His miracles a slight of hand? Could He have actually been the incarnation of Jehovah? His conversations prove that Jesus of Nazareth knew that He was God in human form. The four Gospels record over sixty different conversations that Jesus Christ had with many different people in many different settings. His conversations consistently pointed to the truth that He was indeed, God in the flesh. When Peter looked at this man who was very much like himself and concluded, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God, he was exactly right. The plethora of modern theories denying Christ’s divinity must be abandoned when we comprehend what He revealed about Himself through His conversations.”

Experiencing God’s Love in the Church: The Missing Ingredient in Today’s Church and How to Bring It $16.99 “The church is not dead, nor does it need to be abandoned as some think. It is still a body that can best demonstrate the heart of God to a needy world. Many have looked at the church with all its flaws and turned their backs on it saying it has passed its prime. The main reason for this is that the church has lost its love for one another and consequently for God. While the church may serve God, try to please God, and make efforts to obey God, love is sadly missing. This lack of love for one another manifests itself through church splits, lack of loyalty, ostracizing those who disagree, turning on one another over insignificant reasons, church hopping, firing pastors, etc. Experiencing God’s Love in the Church seeks to challenge believers to renew their commitment to loving one another, and in so doing, returning to what Christ intended His body to look like. When the world sees Gods people truly loving one another, they will then be more apt to see how the Father sent the Son as a demonstration of His love for them.”
