Invitation to the Life of Jacob
The age-old story of Jacob becomes ever more endearing as the author presents in heart warming detail a timely and relevant picture story full of meaning for todays reader both young and old. Using illustration from the authors own experiences, the life of Jacob becomes aligned with our own daily challenges. The grace of God and his long suffering patience with the very real and very human Jacob, moves the readers heart and deepens ones understanding of our God who leads our life according to his good purposes in spite of ourselves.
Whether for personal edification or as a ministry tool, this book is a great addition to any pastor, teacher or parents home or pastoral library. Makes a great gift too - even for the 'non-readers' on your list - due to its easy to read writing style, short chapters and stand alone chapters.

Biblical Portraits of Creation
Walter Kaiser and Dorington Little do an excellent job of compiling lectures and notes on passages from both the Old and New Testament which magnify and celebrate the Maker of heaven and earth. This book is an excellent source for personal study and small group. Each chapter reviews a bible passage which integrates the fundamental truths portrayed in Genesis 1. One can follow the authors through Genesis, the Psalms, Job, Isaiah, Matthew and 2 Corinthians as they weave the tapestry of
God's providential character while bringing the meaning into our present day realities.
Each chapter has a short lecture, summary, conclusions and questions for study and discussion.
As a pastor, leader, teacher or lay minister this book is a wonderful resource for teens to seniors.
In the final notes, the author challenges readers to come back to our origins and face the fundamental questions of life and to take a stand against the biblical illiteracy of our present generation.

"Starting at the Finish Line"
John Wallace shares his personal story and insight as he dissects Mormon teachings and expounds the gospel in an easy to understand style. 'Starting at the Finish Line" is by no means just a book for Mormons who may be questioning their faith, but for anyone who has experienced the trapping of legalism or a works-based theology in their particular faith life. From chapter to chapter, the author holds your attention with his grace-filled exposition and sincere writing style. I would recommend this book for any serious believer who needs to clarify their gospel faith, resolve their own doubts and deepen their ability to share a clear gospel message with others.
