The Rabbinic Parables and Jesus the Parable Teller

19,99 $

First published in German as Die rabbinschen Gleichnisse und der Gleichniserzähler Jesus in 1981-and now translated into English for the first time-this seminal work by Professor David Flusser remains an important and unparalleled contribution on Jesus as a storyteller in the Jewish rabbinic tradition. Using a literary approach to study extant rabbinic parables, he argues that Jesus’ parables belong to a genre that exists only in rabbinic literature and the New Testament. In order to analyze the theology behind Jesus’ parables, we need to understand them as a first-century literary art form.

In a summary of the book, Flusser writes: "I am ﬁrmly convinced with fellow researchers that it is possible to get reasonably close to the original wording of Jesus’ teaching. But this is only the case when the otherwise usual method of literary criticism is applied to the text of the Synoptic Gospels, and when, moreover, one is willing and able to be guided by knowledge of Judaism. I certainly admit that the words of Jesus, including his parables, were edited by Greek redactors and subsequently by the evangelists. Nevertheless, I believe it is often possible to separate the ‘shell’ from the ‘nut’ by applying a better synoptic theory. . . . As I have argued several times, the parables of Jesus belong to the genre of the rabbinic parables. Therefore, valid statements about Jesus’ parables, whether these regard their essence or their literary quality, can only be made when one has ﬁrst dealt with the essence and literary form of the rabbinic parables."

Courage and Confidence

9,99 $

You can recognize a woman who has been unboxed.

Confident. Decisive. Purposeful. She will say no to anything that diverts her from her calling. She is fully aware of her assets and how to use them. Work does not define her value. She is patient and kind with herself, accepting God’s grace for
her shortcomings. God is her King. As a carrier of God’s glory, she produces much fruit in her life.

In Courage and Confidence, Nicole O. Salmon identifies this woman as our created self-the person God has uniquely designed us to be. While our curated self conforms to the influences of this fallen world, we were always meant to live into our divinely inspired and wired created self.

Are you ready to shift toward a more purpose-led life? Here are the tools to unleash the courage to evict yourself from your curated comforts and stand firmly in your created identity. You have not missed your chance. Even though truths declared to you may seem delayed, they are still yours to receive if you are ready and willing to move toward the life you were created for- to become the unboxed woman of confidence and courage God created you to be.
A Matthew Redd Thriller: Redd Christmas

5,99 $
I remember that promise to J. B. like it was yesterday.

After losing his mom at age ten, Matthew Redd found a new home in Montana with J. B. Thompson-a man who knew the value of hard work and simple living. J. B. didn’t have much reason to celebrate Christmas before becoming Redd’s dad but threw himself into building traditions, including a tree, a few practical gifts, and the essential holiday movies: A Christmas Story and Die Hard.

Eight years later, Redd realizes this is the last Christmas he’ll spend at the ranch with his dad before heading off to join the Marines. He impulsively promises J. B. that even if they can’t be together on Christmas Eve, he’ll call every year without fail.

It’s a promise Redd keeps until the year his squadron is called in to assist when a nearby Special Forces team comes under enemy fire. The Marines’ mission is to secure the scene and evacuate the wounded, but soon after their arrival, they realize the initial attack was only the first wave. Before long, Redd and his team are outmanned and outgunned. With the clock ticking down, he begins to wonder if this is the year he’ll have to break his promise . . . or if he’ll make it out alive.

A Survivor's Secrets

9,99 $

I thought surely the memories would die. But they continued to haunt me. The angry faces of my captors. The abuse and the beatings. The burning shame at the unspeakable things I’d been forced to do.

Dear God, I’m so afraid. I can’t go back there.

When Gina Cavallo finally escaped from her traffickers and returned to her childhood home, she soon recognized that her friends and family couldn’t ever comprehend the otherworldly nightmare she’d endured for nearly three years. And she had no interest in revisiting those experiences either. So she returned to an old habit: She buried the memories of that hideous ordeal deep down inside, where she kept all the other dirty secrets of her life. And there they stayed for many years.

But even the deepest buried memories eventually resurface. When a dramatic meeting at church brought her secrets back to mind, fresh and raw, Gina recognized that it was finally time to face her past and find healing from her brokenness. She knew God wanted to free her from the dark fear and shame of those memories. And she knew she couldn’t do any of this alone-she had to start by telling her husband.

A Survivor’s Secrets is a powerful story of the often-overlooked aftermath of survival and the courage it takes to confront and overcome the demons of one’s past. Gina Cavallo tells of the astonishing power of hope, healing, and the unassailable freedom found in God’s redeeming love.
