"The Bible is what God has made. Sermons are what we make with what God has made." This is the foundation for developing expository messages, according to Ramesh Richard. His method, explained in Preparing Expository Sermons, has been field-tested in training seminars for thousands of preachers around the world.

Richard's book is a simple do-it-yourself resource for developing and preaching expository sermons. It guides the reader through a seven-step process, with many practical suggestions and illustrative charts along the way. In addition, there are eleven appendixes that include information on:
o how to choose a text
o preaching narratives
o understanding your audience
o forms of sermon introduction
A comprehensive sermon evaluation questionnaire is included as well.

Preparing Expository Sermons, an updated and expanded version of Scripture Sculpture, is ideal for beginning preachers, lay preachers without formal training, or any pastor who is looking for a refresher course in expository sermon preparation.

Brazen: The Courage to Find the You That's Been Hiding Kindle Edition

 There are so many moments in life when we choose to silence our intuition, abandon our own voice, and play small because we wonder, deep down: "Do I know who I really am? Is who I really am enough?" It's courageous work to learn to live from our essential identity--loved, worthy, whole. But what if God is calling us to shamelessly recover the woman he created us to be? What if God is urging us to be--for the first time in our lives--brazen?

The word brazen means without shame. Leeana Tankersley wants women to be just that--to unapologetically move from shame- and fear-based living toward lives that are based on love and belonging. With moving personal stories and spot-on observations of the longings we all experience--to know we are loved, to feel comfortable in our own skin, to be heard--Tankersley calls women to honor that voice deep down inside of them rather than bowing to outside influences that push them to become someone they're not. Gritty and overflowing with grace, Brazen will set women free to be truly themselves in a world bent on molding them in its image.

by Dutch Sheets (Author)

 Digital List Price:

	$12.99
Print List Price:	$12.99
Kindle Price:	$0.99 Save $12.00 (92%)

 What is intercessory prayer? How does a person become an intercessor? When you don't know where to begin, start with the basics! In The Beginner's Guide to Intercessory Prayer, you'll learn to find your motivation for prayer in the power of love by first and foremost experiencing a lasting relationship with God as Father and friend. As Dutch Sheets lays the foundation for our motivation to pray, he teaches that our relationship with Christ doesn't need to be complex--it can be a simple act of pure devotion. In The Beginner's Guide to Intercessory Prayer, you will learn the 13 "P's" of intercession, which include priority, pleasure, plan, and pain, and be challenged to practice what you have learned through the "Did You Understand" questions at the end of each chapter. Make intercessory prayer a part of your life by learning to pray effectively, by learning to pray alone and in groups, and by persisting in prayer.

Understanding Biblical Theology: A Comparison of Theory and Practice Kindle Edition

Understanding Biblical Theology clarifies the catch-all term “biblical theology,” a movement that tries to remove the often-held dichotomy between biblical studies for the Church and as an academic pursuit.

This book examines the five major schools of thought regarding biblical theology and handles each in turn, defining and giving a brief developmental history for each one, and exploring each method through the lens of one contemporary scholar who champions it. Using a spectrum between history and theology, each of five “types” of biblical theology are identified as either “more theological” or “more historical” in concern and practice:

• Biblical Theology as Historical Description (James Barr)
• Biblical Theology as History of Redemption (D. A. Carson)
• Biblical Theology as Worldview-Story (N. T. Wright)
• Biblical Theology as Canonical Approach (Brevard Childs)
• Biblical Theology as Theological Construction (Francis Watson).

A conclusion suggests how any student of the Bible can learn from these approaches.

短評：

1. 對從未有Logos的人——Logos其本上是一個電子書平台，提供研經及神學的電子書。現在這個Basic版跟Lexham English Bible, 其他有些用的書有：Faithlife Study Bible Notes, DIY Bible Study及 Lexham Bible Dictionary. 但它的真正強項在於integrate不同resources, 即是把經文和與其相關的書籍(註釋書、聖經詞典)串連一起，聖經和書籍能並排而且同步閱讀 (特別那些你未買的好書, 大概在你安裝後不久，便會有電郵向你推銷)。可以接受會有不斷擴展的誘惑的話，則裝也無妨...(Logos每月也有一本免費書和一本兩三元美金的書供選購。)　
2. 對已買過任何版本的Logos的人——不用問，絕對應upgrade (曾買Libronix的朋友請記得用你之前註冊的名登入Logos 7，以能在v.7開啟你以前的書)。 
3. Logos對系統資源有一定要求，不宜安裝在舊款電腦中（其手機Apps應不在此限）。它有中文電子書可供購買，但對比其本身的英文書，暫時仍未有太多選擇。
