Shameless Persistence - The Audacity Of Purposeful Praying was born out of a desire and a recognition that this approach to prayer in no way impinges or compromises on the sovereignty of God. Quite the contrary, God expressly desires and encourages this approach, 'for men ought always to pray and not to lose heart.' The greatest need of prayer at all times is the intrinsic quality called Passion. The single greatest motivation to pray is defined by that word. It is the intention of the author that by reading this book, you will be engulfed with the flames of desire and consumed by a passionate need to pursue God, expectantly awaiting the outcome of such encounters. Be encouraged us to ask and keep asking unrelentingly, never wilting under pressure or in the face of a crisis. Be confident that God who knows what we have need of before we ask is benevolent and reliable. We dare to accede to the instructions of Jesus knowing that the Audacity of our Purposeful praying will grant a response from God. Let us therefore commit to a lifestyle of persistent, purposeful praying.

Jesus wasn't the only one to walk on water: “Peter . . . [also] walked on the water” (Matthew 14:29)! Just as Peter walked securely, albeit briefly, on Galilee’s surging, dangerous waters, Christians, by simply trusting, obeying, and focusing on Christ, can expect His supernatural power to also help them through even the most trying, perilous circumstances. Walking on Water builds faith and prepares the faithful for whatever stormy seas life brings. Its challenging biblical perspectives on adversity help us see God in our hardships just as clearly as we see Him in our blessings. By maintaining this scriptural attitude—the spiritual mind—we meet every storm in the joy of faith, knowing more afflictions mean more spiritual growth, stronger God-confidence, longer-lasting endurance, sharper wisdom, deeper knowledge of God’s ways, closer intimacy with Him, and many other sweet blessings along the way.

Winner of the 2009 Christianity Today Award for Biblical Studies, Stories with Intent offers pastors and students a comprehensive and accessible guide to Jesus' parables. Klyne Snodgrass explores in vivid detail the historical context in which these stories were told, the part they played in Jesus' overall message, and the ways in which they have been interpreted in the church and the academy. Snodgrass begins by surveying the primary issues in parables interpretation and providing an overview of other parables—often neglected in the discussion—from the Old Testament, Jewish writings, and the Greco-Roman world. He then groups the more important parables of Jesus thematically and offers a comprehensive treatment of each, exploring both background and significance for today. This tenth anniversary edition includes a substantial new chapter that surveys developments in the interpretation of parables since the book's original 2008 publication.
