Wide as the WatersAuthor(s): Benson Bobrick
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Price: $0.99       Buy Now!

Next to the Bible itself, the English Bible was — and is — the most influential book ever published. The most famous of all English Bibles, the King James Version, was the culmination of centuries of work by various translators, from John Wycliffe, the fourteenth-century catalyst of English Bible translation, to the committee of scholars who collaborated on the King James translation. Wide as the Waters examines the life and work of Wycliffe and recounts the tribulations of his successors, including William Tyndale, who was martyred, Miles Coverdale, and others who came to bitter ends. It traces the story of the English Bible through the tumultuous reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary Tudor, and Elizabeth I, a time of fierce contest between Catholics and Protes-tants in England, as the struggle to establish a vernacular Bible was fought among competing factions. In the course of that struggle, Sir Thomas More, later made a Catholic saint, helped orchestrate the assault on the English Bible, only to find his own true faith the plaything of his king.

In 1604, a committee of fifty-four scholars, the flower of Oxford and Cambridge, collaborated on the new translation for King James. Their collective expertise in biblical languages and related fields has probably never been matched, and the translation they produced — substantially based on the earlier work of Wycliffe, Tyndale, and others — would shape English literature and speech for centuries. As the great English historian Macaulay wrote of their version, “If everything else in our language should perish, it alone would suffice to show the extent of its beauty and power.” To this day its common expressions, such as “labor of love,” “lick the dust,” “a thorn in the flesh,” “the root of all evil,” “the fat of the land,” “the sweat of thy brow,” “to cast pearls before swine,” and “the shadow of death,” are heard in everyday speech.

The impact of the English Bible on law and society was profound. It gave every literate person access to the sacred text, which helped to foster the spirit of inquiry through reading and reflection. This, in turn, accelerated the growth of commercial printing and the proliferation of books. Once people were free to interpret the word of God according to the light of their own understanding, they began to question the authority of their inherited institutions, both religious and secular. This led to reformation within the Church, and to the rise of constitutional government in England and the end of the divine right of kings. England fought a Civil War in the light (and shadow) of such concepts, and by them confirmed the Glorious Revolution of 1688. In time, the new world of ideas that the English Bible helped inspire spread across the Atlantic to America, and eventually, like Wycliffe’s sea-borne scattered ashes, all the world over, “as wide as the waters be.”

Wide as the Waters is a story about a crucial epoch in the history of Christianity, about the English language and society, and about a book that changed the course of human events.

Growing in ChristAuthor(s): Arnie Cole & Michael Ross
Publisher: GoTandem (An imprint of Barbour)
Price: $2.99       Buy Now!

Growing in Christ is a story-driven, forty-day devotional that reads like a novel while taking believers through the Gospels. As readers study the life of Christ, they’ll learn how to get more of Him into their lives–more of His heart, more of His story, more of what He wants for each of us. And as His truths are worked into their own hearts, readers will learn how to develop the right mindset so to live out the words of Jesus, take their eyes off themselves to better love their neighbors, pray with power and passion, nurture their families, and live well within the community of believers.

“There are three characteristics of this devotional book that I especially like. First, it is about Jesus, what He did for others and what He can do for us. We can never learn too much about our wonderful Lord.

Second, the book is well-organized and focuses on the basics of successful Christian living. As you read, you will get your hands on the essentials of the Christian life and avoid being mired in some time-wasting detour. This book is not a detour; it is a highway! Finally, this book encourages you to get involved. It is easy for us to read but not assimilate spiritual truth because we fail to obey what we have learned. It is only when we obey that we receive spiritual nourishment and grow. Mere passive reading will do us little good. We must become actively engaged with God’s truth if we expect the Lord to transform us and make us a blessing to others. This book tells you how and encourages you to do it. Stay with it and God’s truth will stay with you!”

For anyone navigating the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, The Four will give you your bearings.
