A Testimony
For more than sixty years, I have cultivated a love for the Bible and have pursued an understanding of it. My purpose in writing this book is to help you do the same.
First, I’d like to offer an explanation of how this love affair started. As early as my late teens, I was drawn to the truths of God’s Word and captivated by its wisdom. My interest in the Bible can be traced in large part to the fact that I was reared by a mother and a father who believed in God and respected the Scriptures. They used the Bible’s counsel as a guideline for our home, often quoting from its pages as my older brother, Orville; my older sister, Luci; and I were growing up. It was back then that the Bible first began to make sense to me.
Because scriptural truth served as our domestic foundation, ours was a home where respect for authority was expected and lovingly enforced. At the same time, my parents allowed for open discussion and gave us the freedom to speak our minds. Disagreements in our home didn’t fester and lead to unending arguments; rather, they were resolved quickly and correctly, just as the Bible teaches. Ours was not an uptight, frowning family marked by harsh demands or mindless rules and regulations. On the contrary, while my parents honored, taught, and respected the Bible, they also encouraged lighthearted fun. In our home, laughter was loud and frequent, and the sounds of music-both vocal and instrumental-were heard every day. In that happy, balanced setting, I never felt abused or exploited by overbearing, obsessive parents who hammered us children with a long list of legalistic requirements underscored by Bible verses yanked out of context. On the contrary, grace flowed often and freely.
I want the same for you: a joy-filled life lived in light of God’s wisdom as the Bible states it. That’s why I’ve written this book.
Years ago, I learned at the feet of Dr. Howard G. Hendricks, who taught the Bible Study Methods course at Dallas Theological Seminary. To this day, I have not delivered a sermon, conducted a teaching session, released a broadcast or podcast, or given even a brief devotional without first putting the principles I learned from him to use in my preparation. Because these principles have served me so well for more than fifty years of ministry, I want to pass them on to others-including you-on the pages of this book.
As a result of learning them and putting them into practice, you, too, can know the fulfillment of opening the pages of your Bible with confidence.

17,99 $Written to Jewish believers who were persecuted and tempted to leave the faith, the central theme of Hebrews is simple but powerful: Christ is superior. As the God-man, Jesus Christ is greater than all the prophets of old; he is also greater than the angels, greater than Moses and Joshua, and even greater than the Law and its priesthood. Jesus is the source of our faith, our hope, and our love.
As the author asserts: "Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. . . . Let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Heb. 4:14, 16).
The letter to the Hebrews isn’t casual bedside reading. Dense and deep, complex and compelling, profound and practical. Rich in history, vibrant in imagery, eloquent in style, the book of Hebrews has the words to refresh our minds and cleanse our souls.

13,99 $The apostle Paul, Silas, and Timothy had been forced to leave the infant church in Thessalonica after only a brief stay (Acts 17:9-10). After some time, Timothy was sent to check on the church to see how they were. When Timothy returned with good news of their faith, love, and hope, Paul and Silas sent a letter-now called 1 Thessalonians-to exhort and encourage them to continue to live sanctified lives in the present in light of their splendid past and glorious future.
Yet within weeks of writing 1 Thessalonians, something happened. Somehow, unsettling theological tremors caused cracks and fissures to begin to form in the otherwise strong doctrinal and practical foundation of their newly built church. When Paul, got word of the troubles starting to nag the believers in Thessalonica, 2 Thessalonians was written to set things straight-reminding believers to remain faithful and quelling false teaching related to the details of the end times.

17,99 $Corinth was diverse and powerful-a city of commerce, wealth, moral decadence-and was home to a fledgling church made up of both Jewish and Greek converts. As our own culture and churches begin to look more and more like that of the disheveled, self-serving church in Corinth, Paul’s words to them take on greater import and more urgent practicality.
In 1 Corinthians Paul focuses on healthy church life. He confronts a growing number of problems dividing the church-the effects of its diverse membership, persecution, and the corrupt religious and moral culture where it ministered-and he calls believers onward in sanctification and the exercise of spiritual gifts.
2 Corinthians is Paul’s emotional response to the church’s challenges to his authority and teaching. It is a treatise on authentic ministry in all its earthiness and harsh, human realities. This vivid picture of raw but real ministry sheds a stark light on the inferior motives, methods, and messages of false ministers, ending with a plea to return to a path of purity and righteousness.

10,99 $Cuando nos remontamos a la era de Abraham, encontramos personas que inventaban supersticiones falsas para explicar lo inexplicable. Reyes poderosos que se creían dioses, edificicaban pirámides inmensas para tratar de alcanzar la inmortalidad. De toda esa masa de malentendidos salió un hombre. A ese hombre lo conocemos hoy en día como Abraham; quien no sólo afirmó que existía un Creador verdadero, sino que también se jugó la vida por esa creencia. ¿Y por qué miles de años más tarde, estamos todavía discutiendo la fe de este nómada del desierto? El Pastor Chuck Swindoll, uno de los más conocidos maestros de la Biblia, da la respuesta a esa pregunta y a muchas más en esta apremiante y perspicaz biografía que inspirará tu propia fe.
When we rewind history back to Abraham’s era, we encounter people who concocted false superstitions to explain the unexplainable. Powerful kings claimed to be gods, building massive pyramids to achieve immortality. Out of this mass of misunderstandings, one man emerged. The man we know today as Abraham not only claimed that one true Creator existed but also staked his entire life on this belief. Why, thousands of years later, are we still discussing the faith of this desert nomad? One of America’s most popular Bible teachers, Pastor Chuck Swindoll, answers that question and many more in this compelling and insightful biography that will inspire your own faith. Saber más -
17,99 $The style of Mark’s writing is not unlike an adventure movie: fast-paced and action-packed. The Gospel of Mark makes for stirring drama-compelling, inspirational, challenging, and sobering. While the other Gospel accounts often explain the themes and subtext of Jesus’ story, Mark tells a vivid story that shows us what’s important.
Jesus is the central figure of this narrative, but Mark intended all followers of Jesus to see themselves in this story. From beginning to end, we will see the Master preparing His disciples and then propelling them forward to encounter challenges they felt ill-prepared to meet. While they rarely understood what was happening, and often lacked confidence in their decisions, they began to realize that following Jesus required neither great intelligence nor heroic bravery, but merely a willingness to do as the Son of God commanded. They learned that being a disciple is primarily a matter of faithful obedience. Saber más -
