Christians love to reflect on Christ’s healing of the Gadarene demoniac, His raising to life Jairus’s daughter, and His bountifully providing food for five thousand hungry listeners. But author Gerald M. Bilkes doesn’t want us to study these miracles just because they are loved or well known. He wants us to value them for what they teach us about Christ. He writes, “When we study the miracles, we should never lose sight of the glorious and magnificent Christ who performed them. He still performs miracles in hearts and lives. . . . These things should astound us no less than the miracles He did when He was on earth.” \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"ProductDescriptionContainer\" style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"FONT-SIZE: x-small; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, geneva; BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \"\u003e\u003cfont style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \" color=\"#000000\" face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003eThis heart-warming, experiential look at twenty-two of Christ’s miracles, with questions following each chapter, is an excellent tool for personal or group Bible study and will lead you to the cross, the empty tomb, and the God who purposed and performed these important events of Scripture.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"ProductDescriptionContainer\" style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"FONT-SIZE: medium; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, geneva\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"FONT-SIZE: x-small; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, geneva\"\u003e\u003cfont style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \" color=\"#000000\" face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003eGerald M.

But have they read you?' With this thought-provoking question, author Gerald Bilkes introduces readers to the concept of interpreting the Scriptures experimentally as he takes a heart-searching look at Christ's parables. In this spiritually rewarding Bible study, the author shows students of Scripture how to read the parables in a way that takes into account the truth that Scripture searches us as we subject ourselves to it. When we recognize this, we can expect Scripture to transform us. \u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \"\u003e\u003cfont style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003eAn ideal tool for personal or group Bible study, with questions following each lesson, \u003cem\u003eGlory Veiled and Unveiled\u003c\/em\u003e considers the contexts and main messages of twenty-five parables and puts our hearts under the 'searchlight' of Scripture, guiding us into the knowledge of Christ, our gracious and glorious king. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Information:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px; text-align:right;\"\u003eCover:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px;text-align:left;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px; text-align:right;\"\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px;text-align:left;\"\u003e180\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px; text-align:right;\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px;text-align:left;\"\u003eBilkes, Gerald M.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px; text-align:right;\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px;text-align:left;\"\u003eReformation Heritage Books\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px; text-align:right;\"\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:3px;text-align:left;\"\u003e2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bilkes, Gerald M.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39815125500057,"sku":"9781601781659","price":13.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/8731\/8425\/files\/WebsitePhotoBookCovers.png?v=1772727208"},{"product_id":"9781601782656_-memoirs-of-the-way-home-ezra-nehemiah-as-a-call-to-conversion","title":"Memoirs of the Way Home: Ezra \u0026 Nehemiah as a Call to Conversion","description":"\u003cp style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \"\u003e\u003cfont style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \"\u003eBook Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"BORDER-TOP-COLOR: ; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: ; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: ; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: \"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003eAuthor Gerald Bilkes explains that in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, we have two first-person accounts, or memoirs, of Israel's return from exile to the Promised Land. \u003cbr\u003eIn this winsome Bible study, with questions for individual or group reflection at the end of each chapter, the author introduces readers to the lesser-known Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah and helps us understand that these are not the records of historic feats but rather the confessions of a humble prodigal on a profoundly spiritual journey home.
