Whether you want to start a Bible study group or study on your own, this book is designed to help both new Christians and lifelong believers do just that. The book of Acts is a great part of the Bible to tackle first. It is an easy-to-follow narrative, with importance for other parts of scripture too. A Mighty Wind Begins to Blow includes the author's own translation from the ancient Greek text in today's English, plus background material that helps the story come into focus. Also included are comments by a fictional, self-important philosopher from the seat of ancient philosophy, plus thought-provoking questions to help you wrestle with the tough issues of how to apply what you learn. God's mighty wind still blows into our lives to do great things!

Job is a singularly good man who lived perhaps 4000 years ago, and who experienced unparalleled loss and pain. Three friends come to visit Job in his suffering and to offer sympathy and counsel. Job wants to know why God treats him this way, and they suggest he must have sinned heinously to have brought such great suffering upon him. An analysis of the facts in Job (including a rhetorical analysis of the debate) suggests some answers to Job''s questions and to ours. God has purpose in Job''s suffering. In the process, the counsel and motives of Job''s friends are seen to be defective and self serving, including the idea that all our deeds are rewarded or punished in this life. Job comes to a renewed faith in God and a preliminary grasp of the fact of life after death, a fact more implied than taught in the Old Testament. And we gain assurance of God''s unwavering presence with us in our own pain.
