The Babylonian army surrounded the city of Jerusalem and laid siege to it. The
military strateg y of the siege was to surround a walled city, cutting of f means of
escape and disrupting supplies coming into it. When opposition was worn down by
hunger, the attacking army would break through and conquer the city.

The theme of this story is not that
God is angry, but that God is
merciful. From the beginning of
the Jewish nation, they were called
to bless all nations. Instead, they
sought only to bless themselves. The
remnant of Judah would now be taken
into the rest of the world, blessing their
captors with the knowledge of
the one true God.

At that time, the Jews employed water baptism when a Gentile (non-Jew) converted to Judaism. It aptly symbolized the removal of the moral f ilth of paganism. The scandal of John’s baptism was that he required the action of Jews, in ef fect saying that Jews were as morally reprehensible to God as were Gentiles. Predictably, the arrival of a John excited the masses but angered the religious establishment. John’s message of repentance was also aimed at the political establishment, a move that would lead to his imprisonment and execution.

The silence of God was broken. Four centuries after Malachi, a new prophet, John the son of Zechariah spoke the word of the Lord. As was typical of Hebrew prophets, John used a very visual method of proclaiming that message. His divinely-mandated method was water baptism.

Yet God preserved their stories for a reason.

• Read eight lesser-known historical accounts

• Reflect on these characters’ lives so you can live out God’s principles
• Remember the lessons through simple memorization and compelling narrative
LEANNE BLACKMORE is a cookie-dough eating, tennis playing, Facebook fanatic. Her ultimate desire, though, is to know God by knowing his Word. As a veteran Bible teacher and sought-after women’s retreat and conference speaker, she shares that passion with others. LeAnne and her husband, Ron, live in Johnson City, Tennessee, with their two teenagers, Spencer and Averie.

TRUST is the foundation of all good relationships, leadership, and ministry. But most of us have never been taught how to build it—or, harder still,
how to restore it.
Trust Building will help ministers, elders, deacons, committee members, ministry teams, missionaries, small groups, and potential leaders learn how to:
• Identify unintentional trust-busting habits
• Improve intentional trust-building communication skills
• Break invisible barriers that lead to disrespect and misunderstanding
• Increase cooperation and lower frustration
The Trust Building kit includes five participant guides and a DVD that features:
• Candid interviews with experienced pastors, counselors, and authors
• Engaging video vignettes
• Step-by-step training for group facilitators
• Hands-on practice with trust-building steps
• Spanish and Portuguese language subtitles

SUMMARY:
TRUST is the foundation of all good relationships, leadership, and ministry. But most of us have never been taught how to build it—or, harder still,
how to restore it.
Trust Building will help ministers, elders, deacons, committee members, ministry teams, missionaries, small groups, and potential leaders learn how to:
• Identify unintentional trust-busting habits
• Improve intentional trust-building communication skills
• Break invisible barriers that lead to disrespect and misunderstanding
• Increase cooperation and lower frustration
The Trust Building kit includes five participant guides and a DVD that features:
• Candid interviews with experienced pastors, counselors, and authors
• Engaging video vignettes
• Step-by-step training for group facilitators
• Hands-on practice with trust-building steps
• Spanish and Portuguese language subtitles

SUMMARY :
Bring to life the story of Jesus’ birth with this one-of-a-kind Christmas book for children! One Special Night combines a child-friendly retelling
of Jesus’ birth with beautiful artwork and pop-up dioramas to engage young children every time it’s read.
On every spread, a pop-up diorama illustrates the central figures of Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the angels, shepherds, and wise men in a way few other books can. Children can read the stories with parents or grandparents, pull tabs on select pages in the book, and watch the characters in the various scenes move. This unique presentation of the story of Christ’s birth will make reading this book a child’s favorite Christmastime tradition.
SUMMARY :
Children ages 3–6 will delight in 50 beautifully illustrated, carefully retold stories from God’s Word! Show & Tell Bible Stories uses everyday objects to provide young
children with a visual and tangible understanding of each story. Familiar objects, short stories, and fun rhymes provide the tools for children to show and tell Bible stories in their own words! Great for use at home and in the classroom.

SUMMARY :
Bring to life the story of Jesus’ birth with this one-of-a-kind Christmas book for children! One Special Night combines a child-friendly retelling
of Jesus’ birth with beautiful artwork and pop-up dioramas to engage young children every time it’s read.
On every spread, a pop-up diorama illustrates the central figures of Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the angels, shepherds, and wise men in a way few other books can. Children can read the stories with parents or grandparents, pull tabs on select pages in the book, and watch the characters in the various scenes move. This unique presentation of the story of Christ’s birth will make reading this book a child’s favorite Christmastime tradition.
SUMMARY :
Children ages 3–6 will delight in 50 beautifully illustrated, carefully retold stories from God’s Word! Show & Tell Bible Stories uses everyday objects to provide young
children with a visual and tangible understanding of each story. Familiar objects, short stories, and fun rhymes provide the tools for children to show and tell Bible stories in their own words! Great for use at home and in the classroom.
