	The 12: Ancient Messages of Hope for Today's Dark World In the messages of the 12 Minor Prophets - Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi - there is a recurring theme. That theme is hope. While it is true that these prophets speak of God's judgment, their messages were more than doom and gloom. God not only gave these twelve men some of the most incredible predictions for the future, but He also gave them practical ways to live today, and an optimistic view of an amazing life to come. The 12 are known as Minor Prophets because their writings were shorter in length than the Major Prophets - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel. However, their writings are no less important. They were the courageous and true spokesmen of God during the time of the great Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian empires. They preached God's word and they didn't care who they offended. Even though they preached thousands of years ago, they have some of the most relevant and contemporary messages that you will find anywhere in the Bible. In The 12, James Collins explores the life and times of the Minor Prophets. He considers the circumstances under which each prophet labored, the issues he confronted, what his message meant for the people of his day, and how that message applies to those of us living in these last days. His teaching brings the major emphasis of these men of God alive for the reader. The 12 is a collection of exceptional expositional essays on each of the twelve prophets.
	The Nativity: How The Story Of Christmas Can Change Your Life Learn Something Life Changing This Christmas! After years, sometimes even decades, of hearing the Christmas story so many times, we lose the meaning. The story of the birth of Jesus Christ as told Luke Chapter 2 is the best-known story in the Bible. Ask anyone and they can tell you about Caesar’s tax. Everyone knows about Mary and Joseph’s trip to Bethlehem. Most people can tell you that Jesus was born in a stable. We’ve heard the story thousands of times, over and over, in Christmas pageants, plays, cards, TV programs, movies, and music. To many, the story of God becoming a man - of God taking on human flesh – has become so common that the greatest miracle in history has lost its impact. That’s why The Nativity was written, to help you take a fresh look at the Christmas story – to help you see beyond the familiar and find the true Spirit of Christmas. Turn the pages to find the answers: • Who was the inn-keeper? • Why is Jesus called Emmanuel? • Did Mary and Joseph have children of their own? • Was Jesus born on December 25th? • What was the Tower of the Flock? • Is Jesus coming back?
	Will The Church Go Through The Tribulation? *OUT OF STOCK OUT OF STOCK In this book several authors have considered separate but relative sections of both the Old and New Testaments, to see if the church will be in this coming time of famine, death, and sorrow. The coming Tribulation will witness the rise of a world dictator who will have the authority and power to demand that everyone in the world take his mark and worship him as God. Those who do not will be executed. Those who hold to a pre-tribulational view understand the Scriptures to mean all Christians will be taken up out of the world at the Rapture just before the Tribulation begins. Those who hold to a post-tribulational view believe the Scriptures teach that Christians will go through the Tribulation and will be persecuted and killed like everyone else. It is obvious that both views cannot be right. In this book, the authors consider different sections of the Bible to see, practically, if Christians will be subject to this most terrible time in world history.
