A parable is a fictitious but true-to-life story designed to teach a specific spiritual, philosophical, or life lesson. Parables comprised about one-third of all of the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. Jesus crafted his stories to confuse His opponents, confront the uncommitted, and teach his followers. Understanding Jesus' parables is essential to the revelation of His life-transforming message. Ideally suited for contemporary students of the New Testament, Parables In The Eye Of The Storm specifically addresses this necessity with a chronological study of Jesus' parables and is a highly recommended addition to personal reading lists.

This hard to find book is a must read for any Purdue basketball fan. Mark Montieth follows one of Gene Keady's best teams through an entire season. Fans familiar with the Troy Lewis, Everett Stephens, Todd Mitchell, Three Amigos era will greatly enjoy this book because it acts as a time capsule.

Hopefully there will be another book written about a Keady Purdue team in the future.

This is the best book by far that shows the steps on the Path from Seeker/Beginner to the Ultimate VICTORY!

I have used Mark Link's texts in classrooms for 7th to 9th grade students for many years. In addition, I have found them helpful as an introduction to scriptures for adults in a parish setting, though I have used the information without the actual text because the text is clearly intended for young people. One of the book's greatest assets is the wide range of high quality illustrations, which are difficult to find for texts apropriate for students of this age. Nothing is overly simplified or "kidified" -- indeed, the archaeological and historical photographs and examples are challenging and truly interesting to students. They never feel as if they are being talked down to with this book. The major plus with this text, though, is its theology. So often beginning texts simplify scripture, especially the Hebrew Scriptures, so that later undertaking of a more serious study must first unlearn previous misinformation. This is not a problem with this text. Mark Link displays an unusually sensitive attitude toward the Hebrew Scriptures, and does not relegate their importance to having only Christological significance. His explanation of prophecy and of the use of the Hebrew Scriptures by later Christian authors is unparalleled in other books at this level. Similarly, his presentation of Apocalyptic literature is much better than beginning texts I have reviewed. The 1987 version (Path Through Scripture: From Genesis to Revelation) is definitely superior to the "New Interactive Edition" by the same title. This newer edition has been watered down, in my opinion, and much excellent scholarship and appeal to students is lost in the process. Use this text with confidence and enjoy it.

This book is an excellent resource for the RN practicing in the OR. It covers state of the art technology while discussing basic concepts of nursing and how they are adapted to care of the patient in the OR. I also teach and this is an excellent reference for students in the OR. Mark Phippen and MaryAnn Wells have written this book in their usual comprehensive style.

My son is an ADHD special child with a wonderful sense of humor and so intelligent he quickly becomes bored with most projects. He and I and most of our family have read this book, we found in the library, and now I'm planning on buying a couple copies for his elementary class, and to keep on hand.

The is my first Livingston book. I am new to reading Christian novels. If read most to the popular authors. This book has an interesting way of holding your attention all the way to the last page. The author did a great job of not revealing the ending until the very end. The Peacemaker does not have an apopoliptic theme. Great suspense thriller.

This was one of my preferred books I used while on my pediatric rotations during medical school. It was a great source of introductory information on interesting topics that were mentioned during rounds, and pointed me in the right direction for more material. It also provided for constructive reading material while on call. I plan to purchase the next edition.
