This book considers the Gospel of John in its entirety, moving through the Gospel and exploring the prologue, the wedding at Cana, the Samaritan woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery, the healing of the man at the pool and the man born blind, foot washing, Mary Magdalene and Doubting Thomas, and the Lamb of God.
More Messy People Women's Bible Study Leader Guide: Life Lessons from Imperfect Biblical Heroes
by Jennifer CowartGod can use imperfect people to do incredible things.The More Messy People Leader Guide outlines six small group sessions, complete with prayers, summaries, and discussion questions. It is designed to be used with the Participant Workbook and DVD and will support group leaders of all experience levels in creating strong learning communities.Jen Cowart continues her study of the very messy lives of biblical heroes—people who, like us, made mistakes but found God was able to use them in powerful ways. They all play a significant role in the biblical narrative, but their stories are far from perfect.Through the lives of rival sisters like Leah and Rachel, or sisters with very different personalities like Martha and Mary, we see God chooses to use people who don’t have it all together. Through the lives of great, but imperfect, biblical heroes like Moses, Elijah, Peter, and Paul, we see God meets us in our troubles and chooses us even if we seem unqualified.

The Christ of the Indian Road
by E. Stanley JonesFor those searching for truth and a map to help lead them down the path of The Way.With over 1 million copies sold, this favorite from E. Stanley Jones has been translated into 30 languages!In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the book being in print, Rev. Jones’s granddaughter, Dr. Anne Mathews-Younes, along with Dr. Mathew Thattamanil Thomas, worked with contributors on this new expanded edition!For more than one hundred years, E. Stanley Jones has led the way in evangelism by contextualizing Christ in the existing culture, wherever that may be. In The Christ of the Indian Road, he recounts his experiences in India, where he arrived as a young and presumptuous missionary who later matured into a veteran who attempted to contextualize Jesus Christ within the Indian culture. Jones names the mistakes many Christians make in trying to impose their culture on the existing culture. Instead, he makes the case that we learn from other cultures, respect the truth found there, and let Christ and the existing culture do the rest.In his book Ordinary Man, Extraordinary Mission, Stephen Graham, a biographer of Jones, wrote:"The Christ of the Indian Road was a frontal assault on the cultural prejudices of most European and American Christian missionaries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Jones was one of the first Western Christians to realize that the Christian gospel was often betrayed in Asia, Africa, and Latin America by being enmeshed with Western nations’ economic and political self-aggrandizement. In so doing, Jones declared his moral and intellectual independence from Western political and religious imperialism."Introduced with a foreword by Leonard Sweet, this expanded edition includes essays by church leaders reflecting on the impact of Jones’s revolutionary approach to discovering the Jesus already present in each culture and what those learnings mean for the church today. Contributors include: Most Rev. Dr. Theodosius Mar Thoma Metropolitan, Dr. Sathianathan Clarke, Rev. Dr. John Thatamanil, Very Rev. Abraham O. Kadavil Corepiscopos, Rev. Dr. Shivraj Mahendra.
