Lecto Divina

The name “Lectio Divina” is Latin for “Divine Reading”. This practice is not just used for studying Scripture; it is used to hear from God. In Lectio Divina, you allow the scripture to study you as you sit with the text in God’s presence. Lectio Divina creates space for God to speak to you about His word.

After God’s Own Heart: The Gospel according to David

After God’s Own Heart examines the life of David, showing how the Old Testament king relates to anointing, covenant, the temple, and sin. Ultimately, the author shows how David points to the Messiah to come. The book includes study questions for individual or group study.

Great Lives: David

This book gives us a closer look at this incredible man who had his fair share of difficulties. Throughout his life, David was gripped by destructive passion, rocked by family chaos and personal tragedy, and motivated by political expediency. Like all of us, David was far from perfect, but Swindoll teaches us that David had the chance to become great when he placed himself at the Lord’s disposal.

1 & 2 Samuel for Everyone

While readers may know the facts of these stories, Goldingay’s work will instill in them a deeper understanding of their spiritual and theological significance.

From Creation to the Cross:

This book doesn’t simply teach the Old Testament; it’s as if it personally reminisces through it. This book walks us through the Old Testament, pointing out along the way perspectives and insights that leave us with a new, personal understanding of these thirty-nine books — and more importantly, of the God of the Old Testament, who lovingly prepared the way before sending his Son.
