Contending with Paul 3: Paul’s Co-Workers – Biographies & Insights (The Contending With Paul Series)
Author(s): William Joseph Cobble
Price: $2.99 (Apr 30 – May 6)
“Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ …” (Romans 16:9)
“As for Titus, he is my partner and co-worker in your service …” (2nd Corinthians 8:23)
“Epaphroditus – my brother and co-worker and fellow soldier …” (Philippians 2:25)
“… together with Clement and the rest of my co-workers …” (Philippians 4:3)
“These are the only ones of the circumcision among my co-workers …” (Colossians 4:11)
“… and we sent Timothy, our brother and co-worker …” (1st Thessalonians 3:2)
“To Philemon our dear friend and co-worker …” (Philemon 2)
“The term sunergos (fellow worker, helper, co-worker) is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who work alongside others in the ministry of the Gospel. It emphasizes collaboration and partnership in the work of God. The word conveys a sense of unity and shared purpose among believers as they labor together for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.” – Berean Strong’s Lexicon
As Paul took the Gospel into the Graeco-Roman world, who were the men and women who partnered with him? In Paul’s letters, their names are sometimes found within a verse or passage from which some biographical or historical information can be gleaned. In these places, Paul might disclose a co-worker’s role within his ongoing work, divulge the part they played in some internal controversy, or even eulogize their passing. When also found in the Book of Acts, additional clues are occasionally available that help one to further discern the “when, where, and how” of the co-worker’s involvement in Paul’s missionary endeavors.
Contending with Paul 2: What Paul’s Letters Tell Us About Their Author(s) – And Why We Should Listen (The Contending With Paul Series)
Author(s): William Joseph Cobble
Price: $2.99 (Apr 30 – May 6)
The Christian New Testament is best understood as a library. Housed upon its shelves are twenty-seven works, thirteen of which are letters that purport to be written by Paul. Yet, since the 1800s, scholars have adamantly disputed Paul’s authorship of six of these. Why? What is found within the six Disputed Letters that raises such doubt?
Hidden within these letters are statements such as the ones below which sound very unlike the Paul of the seven Undisputed Letters:
* Women achieve salvation through childbirth: “Yet she will be saved through childbearing providing they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.” (1st Timothy 2:15)
* Women are to be subjugated within the church: “I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent.” (1st Timothy 2:12)
* Slaves must obey their masters as they would obey Jesus: “Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ…” (Ephesians 6:5)
* Jesus’ sufferings were insufficient for the Church, but Paul’s are not: “I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church.” (Colossians 1:24)
Contending with Paul: The Hidden Story Behind the Writing of Matthew, Mark, and Luke (The Contending With Paul Series Book 1)
Author(s): William Joseph Cobble
Price: $2.99 (Apr 30 – May 6)
Using a blend of history, theology, biography, and literary criticism, Contending with Paul focuses primarily on the first two generations of the Christian movement. It is the first generation who would initially debate how the message of Jesus should be presented to the Gentile world (non-Jews) and what would be expected of those Gentiles who desired to follow Jesus. It is the second generation of believers who began to write in a new literary genre that Christians call “gospels.” The Gospel of Matthew, the Gospel of Mark, and the Gospel of Luke, are the earliest three to have survived, and it is through these writings that the debates of the first generation get carried forward by the second. Though all three gospels were written after the death of Paul, it is asserted by the author that each gospel writer contended with his continuing influence in some way, though each from their own distinctive vantage point.
Paul’s influence may be underestimated if one only counts his 13 extant works in the New Testament. For the benefit of using a round number, it can be estimated that Paul ministered for 30 years. Also, for the sake of a round number, the churches and individuals to whom he corresponded may be estimated to be 20. Supposing he wrote to each of these entities twice a year, Paul’s total ministerial correspondence would rise from his 13 extant works to an output of 1,200. Paul would likely have been a dynamic figure in person as well. He is portrayed as a vigorous traveler and a gifted debater. Herein lies the influence. Not only is it credible that this influence would have been felt by the gospel writers, it may have been impossible for them to completely insulate themselves from it.

John 1-12 For You
Author(s): Josh Moody
Publisher: Good Book Company
Price: $2.99 (Apr 30-May 1)
Josh Moody helps those new to John to dip their toes in its waters, while also showing new depths to those more familiar with this Gospel. Jesus came to bring life to the full—and in showing us his seven signs, John pictures the fulfillment that comes from living life as a follower of the Word become flesh.
This Expository Guide takes you verse by verse through the text in an accessible and applied way. It is less academic than a traditional commentary and can be read cover-to-cover, used in personal devotions, used to lead small group studies, or used for sermon preparation. There is an accompanying Good Book Guide for small group Bible studies.
The Promises of God
Author(s): Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Publisher: Crossway Books
Price: $2.99 (Apr 30-May 1)
For a century and a half, Charles Spurgeon’s classic daily devotional on God’s promises has comforted the hearts of God’s people. For each day of the year, Spurgeon reflects on a specific promise of God from Scripture that strengthened his own heart in times of severe depression and suffering. In this volume, Tim Chester allows Spurgeon speak to a new generation—updating archaic words, shortening sentences, and using modern word ordering—while maintaining Spurgeon’s passionate and pastoral voice. These devotional readings will propel modern Christians to renewed faith in the promise-making and promise-keeping God of the Bible.

Blossoms on the Roof
Author(s): Rebecca Martin
Publisher: Harvest House Publishers
Price: $0.99 (Ends May 3)
The year 1894 brings hard times to the Yoders. When Father reads that free land is available in faraway North Dakota, the family packs up, says goodbye to family and friends, and boards the train for what they believe will be a better life out West. As soon as they step from the train onto the windswept prairie, however, they realize they have much to learn about homesteading.
They hurry to build their thatched-roof, sod house even as they plant a garden and till the fields. With each new experience—including the wildfire and long cold winter—they learn to trust God, embrace the pioneer spirit, and watch hardship turn into valuable life lessons.
Based on actual events from a time long ago, this unforgettable story from The Amish Frontier Series, perfect for ages 8 to 12, brings to life the Yoder family’s move from a close-knit community to a pioneer life where they quickly discover how God is faithful to help in every situation.
The Treasure Hunt
Author(s): Rebecca Martin
Publisher: Harvest House Publishers
Price: $0.99 (Ends May 3)
The Yoder family packs up and moves once again—this time to join other Amish families in Colorado where inexpensive farmland is plentiful. Despite the drought, Mother’s illness, and a raging wildfire, the family quickly adapts to life in their new homeland.
Along the way young Joe, intrigued with the exciting stories of the area’s gold rush and dreaming of an easier life, tries his hand at gold panning. One adventure leads to another, but it’s the chance meeting with an older gentleman—who had panned for gold most of his life—in which Joe learns some of life’s truly golden lessons. Together, the old man and the boy discover real treasure.
Based on actual events from a time long ago, this unforgettable story from the Amish Frontier Series, perfect for ages 8 to 12, brings to life the Yoder family’s struggle to live a life of faith on the Colorado frontier.
