The Apostle: The Life of Paul by John Pollock
306 pages, 26 of 28 reviews are 4 or 5-star
The drama of a novel meets scholarship in leading Christian biographer John Pollock’s classic work about one of the most transforming persons in history: the apostle Paul.
The Apostle masterfully combines careful adherence to biblical text, detailed research, and a storyteller’s gift to create a book equally relevant for both casual readers fascinated by Paul’s life and serious biblical scholars. Pollock begins his fast-movig narrative with Stephen’s death and follows Paul through his conversion, missionary journeys, and eventual execution. Many will enjoy it simply as a satisfying and insightful true-life story, although maps and a study guide allow for deeper exploration. The Apostle was originally published in 1969, and this new edition marks the first significant revision in many years.

Roanoke: The Lost Colony by Angela Hunt
494 pages, 30 of 36 reviews are 4 or 5-star, Lending Enabled, Previously Free
In 1587, a fleet of English ships set sail for the Virginia colony. During a storm, one ship became separated from the others and was never seen again. The settlers on board were presumed lost at sea, but there is both historical and legendary evidence that the colonists actually founded the Roanoke colony.
Veteran novelist Hunt (“Theyn Chronicles”) reimagines this slice of Colonial history through the eyes of Jocelyn White, a newlywed reluctant to leave her home in England for the wild shores of the New World. White’s journey is fraught with danger, but her dependence on God and God’s providence carry her safely through. Hunt’s engaging historical romance will appeal to fans of B.J. Hoff and Patricia Hickman. Recommended for most collections.

Sixty years later, Rose tells her story of a life filled with trials and tribulations. Her enduring faith in God has been her lifeline.

“In my darkest hour, I (Julia) had open chest surgery. The surgery wasn’t successful. Unfortunately, I was still bleeding internally and in my darkest hour I could barely gasp for a breath and felt like I was drowning. I was slipping away and I knew it. That is not the story – that is the situation – fill in the blank of your adversity.”
The above words are from my dear friend, Julia, who is the inspiration for this book. No matter what your situation, your story begins with how you respond to the adversity.
2 John for Small Groups by Keith Pugh

Asking good questions is the key to understanding. The Query the Text Series gives you the ability to teach through whole books of the Bible in the natural rhythm of question and answer. Each lesson is designed to be highly interactive and to fit within a thirty to forty-five minute window of time.
In publishing this material, I hope to give teachers an inexpensive option for adult Sunday School curriculum that both increases the interaction level of their small groups and keeps its focus on biblical exposition. Hopefully, many teachers will also find it a little easier “to be ready in season and out of season” with the convenience of having a ready-to-teach lesson always with them on their Kindle.
Look for other Old and New Testament books to be released soon in the Query the Text Series.
