Two thousand years after his birth and death, Jesus of Nazareth continues to be of vital interest. Yet much of the scholarship around Jesus focuses on his religious significance. Jesus for Everyone examines his most famous teachings from a fresh perspective, exploring how they have continued to shape ethics and civilization in the West for two millennia. Even for those who reject faith, Jesus’s life and his philosophy are important to study, writes renowned biblical scholar and author Amy-Jill Levine, because of the insights they hold for us today.

Signs. They are important in almost everything we do. Nearly everywhere we go, there are signs in our lives that serve to guide us. We look for them wherever we travel, whether to the next city, state, or country — or to the next phase of our journey through life. Jesus thinks signs are important too. That's why he gave us clear markers in Matthew 24 that would indicate his soon return and the end of this present age. In this book, Rick Renner digs deep into the Bible to describe these signs in vivid detail so we can recognize them and know how to navigate the last-days road ahead

Whether you're scrolling through social media, sitting around the dinner table, or watching the news, it's wrong not to be offended at the way things are in the world right now—right?!

Instead, Christ calls us to do something radical and countercultural: Let go of your anger and forgive. In this six-session audio Bible study, Brant Hansen shares practical ways and biblical reasons to let go of anger and your "right" to be offended.
