"Following the first volume of this series, A Youth Worker’s Commentary on John, Vol 2 digs deeper into the miracles and teachings of Jesus as told by John. Covering the remainder of John’s gospel, chapters nine to twenty-one, you’ll find this resource to be an invaluable aid for your message and lesson preparation. The authors give you a solid understanding of the Gospel of John, including its historical context, rationale, and meaning. ..."
"One reason for writing these books is that most curriculums that are now available for youth leaders and their students are just skimming the books of the Bible (example: 4-12 lessons on the Gospel of John that do not go beyond the surface of the text). We are talking about writing books that would have the entire Biblical text printed in each book. Books that actually go deeper into the meaning of the text. We are thinking of dozens of ..."
"When a youth pastor is preparing a lesson, it's sometimes challenging to find a curriculum that really offers depth into the Scripture passages and goes beyond a cursory look at the text. A Youth Worker's Commentary on John is the first in a new series of commentaries developed with youth workers in mind. An in-depth, yet readable approach to the gospel of John, this first volume includes commentary, word studies, personal and histori ..."
"The change to a new ordering of material, one that is more narrative in approach,
presents a pleasing shift of pace. ... For all its length, the chapter really presents
us with a simple message that must not be missed: The life of faith is the only life
... We are convinced, as the original hearers certainly must have been, that these
great heroes of faith are merely ... We are called to step out of step with the world,
hop up on t ..."

"Directo, práctico, afirmativo y convincente: ese es el libro de Santiago. A través de esta carta, podemos ver la imagen de los primeros cristianos en su lucha por aplicar las enseñanzas del Señor Jesús a sus vidas cotidianas. Además, vemos a una comunidad plagada de división e hipocresía, que resaltaba la riqueza y el estatus. Santiago no oculta nada al tratar con estos problemas, haciendo el llamado a vivir una fe que se muestre a trav ..."
"The American social and cultural landscape is studded with success stories like
that of billionaires Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Michael Bloomberg, Jeff Bezos, and
Mark Zuckerberg. It may even still be possible to become a millionaire buying
real estate with no money down, but as James reminds us, this is not the point.
There is a transitory nature of financial wealth. Financial affluence is like the mist,
it can disappear even as w ..."

"My colleagues Scot McKnight and Sonia Bodi read the entire manuscript and at
many points offered the benefit of their wise advice. I treasure their support and
friendship. I am also grateful to professors Daniel de Roulet and Klyne
Snodgrass of North Park for their warm interest. To my brother, Professor Bradley
Nystrom, I also offer my thanks. He is a companion, friend, and in many ways a
model for me. No litany of thanks would be ..."

Written at the perfect length f ..."
"Straight to the point, practical, affirming, convicting---that's the book of James. In it, we see a picture of early Christians wrestling to apply the teachings of Jesus to their everyday lives. And we see a community plagued by divisiveness and hypocrisy, with an emphasis on wealth and status. James pulls no punches addressing these issues, calling for a faith that shows itself in moral actions: in speech, in interpersonal relationship ..."

"This section is described as an “admonition, warning,” a word commonly
translated “command, charge” (KJV; NASB; NLT; NRSV). While not stated in the
form of an explicit imperative, Malachi's message here is an implicit instruction
warning for the priests to be more diligent in fulfilling their obligations. The
admonition could refer to the entire following text section (vv. 2–9), but most likely
it refers to the levitical covenant i ..."
