The Beauty and Power of Biblical Exposition available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Sacred Duty and Delight of Handling the Word of God In order to understand, appreciate, and faithfully preach the word of God, pastors must discern the literary nature of the Bible. Instead of just acknowledging the various genres of Scripture, pastors and teachers should allow these genres to influence how the text is approached and communicated. In The Beauty and Power of Biblical Exposition, they will learn how to both read and preach the Bible as a literary anthology. To accomplish this, Douglas Sean O'Donnell and Leland Ryken teach pastors how to faithfully preach while keeping the original authors' intentions in mind, helping them grow in their craft and love for God's word. They explain how to read six genres—including narratives, parables, epistles, poetry, proverbs, and visionary writings—for the purpose of captivating congregations with the richness of Scripture. Written for Pastors: Especially young pastors or those just out of seminary Practical: Contains guides, tables, and examples to help develop sermons Heartfelt: Written with the desire for pastors to learn and grow as communicators

The Beginning and End of Wisdom (Foreword by Sidney Greidanus) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The wisdom literature of the Old Testament can be daunting. Sidney Greidanus, in the book's foreword, describes Old Testament wisdom literature as "one of the more difficult genres to interpret and preach." Yet the numerous proverbs and sayings meet us in everyday life, teaching us much about understanding and applying the gospel. Pastor Douglas O'Donnell writes, "Just as every book of the Old Testament adds light to our understanding of Jesus, so the revelation of God in the person of Christ enlightens our understanding of the Old Testament." Not only do the wisdom books teach us about Jesus Christ, but we understand the books better in light of the revelation of God's Son. O'Donnell opens up the genre of wisdom literature through six chapters that look at how the gospel shines through Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job. He specifically centers on the first and last chapters of each book, noting how the texts illustrate "the wisdom of God in the sufferings of our Savior." Pastors, church leaders, and students of Scripture will find this thoughtful volume demonstrative of seeing the gospel in the Wisdom Literature.

Longtime pastor John Tebay has seen it all in more than a half-century of ministry: elder boards mired in disputes ranging from petty to major; church-splits over matters of doctrine; and senior pastors wanting their agenda to be rubber-stamped by a compliant board.The reason for moral, ethical, theological, and biblical divisions in the Church has more to do with people's attitudes about the way they work with each other, the process that entails, and communication with the rest of the congregation, Pastor Tebay contends. That process can be greatly enhanced when the pastors and the church leadership are on the same page regarding the principle of authority in the Church.In his timely book, The Power of Submission, John Tebay contends that our permissive culture's resistance to submission to authority needs to change-and change quickly. When spiritual authority is unclear, the potential for division, strife, confusion, and darkness among God's people and the world is highly intensified, always lurking and waiting to erupt.But when God is the source of authority and applied to the Church, the family, and individuals as laid out in the Bible, you will discover how the "power of submission" can change lives and change the hearts and minds of those in the Church and in church leadership.
