Sunday school teachers, Bible study leaders, and other persons interested in careful Bible study will find the explanatory essays for each section of Scripture helpful.

Two focused articles at the end of each chapter, The Text in biblical Context and The Text in the Life of the Church, are unique features of the series.

Especially in the latter, believers church perspectives come through clearly. These include believers baptism, commitment to the Rule of Christ (Matthew 18:15-20) as central to church membership, belief in the power of love in all relationships, and a willingness to follow the way of the cross of Christ.

The series is based on the conviction that God still speaks to all who will listen, and that the Holy Spirit makes the Word a living and authoritative guide for all who want to know and do God's will.

Recommended for small groups, Sunday school, or parenting classes, each of these twelve ready-to-use sessions focuses on a different issue facing families. Each session features audio interviews with people who have either faced the issue themselves or are experts on the issue, and commentary. Also included is a study guide with Bible texts, prayers, and discussion and activities to draw participants into each topic.

Big business makes big money selling a phony notion of what we want and need as sexual people. Ads insist that certain products will make us more sexually appealing. But what we really want and need is true intimacyÑthe knowledge that we matter to another person and are loved for who we are. Using the metaphor of sexuality as a good gift from God, this second edition offers Christians resources for living a sexually healthy and fulfilling life.

The editor presents valuable material she and several colleagues have developed on sexuality from Christian perspectives.
