Book Description
Mighty Men of Valor have three distinct characteristics; strength, courage, and passion. In this Bible study we unpack the first characteristic, strength. Men need strength that comes from God alone, the kind of strength He gave men like Gideon (who lived at a time when everyone did what was right in their own eyes), David and his band of mighty men, and Jesus' early church followers. The world, the flesh, and the devil wage constant battle against us and seek to usurp God's rule over His creation. To fight these enemies, God calls and empowers men to be Mighty Men of Valor. Gideon is one such example. "The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!" (Judges 6:12, NKJV). As the angel of the Lord greeted Gideon in Old Testament times, He invites you to become one of God's choice warriors. He will use the 10 lessons in this compact Bible study to help point the way. You'll be guided on this journey by men from Scripture as well as church history and the present day who will serve as mentors of godly strength. You'll also journey deep into the "living and active" word of God (Hebrews 4:12), which He will use to shape you in this process. God is calling us to develop our "spiritual muscles" of love, winning others to the kingdom of God, and building them up in Christ. That's what Mighty Men of Valor: Book 1 - Strength is all about. As with the additional Bible studies in this series-Mighty Men of Valor: Book 2 - Courage and Mighty Men of Valor: Book 3 - Passion-this study can be used in three essential ways. Use these studies as a daily devotional. We strongly encourage every man to take time out for a daily meeting-or appointment-with God. Work through these studies with another man. Think of this as walking "Side-by-Side," meeting weekly for mutual growth, support, and accountability. Connect with other men in a triad or small-group setting. Think of Jesus, who invested in a small group of 12 men, guiding them on the spiritual journey. Make A Mark Ministries is a ministry of Sure Passage

Book Description
Mighty Men of Valor have three distinct characteristics; strength, courage, and passion. In this Bible study we unpack the second characteristic, what it means to have courage in Christ. Men need courage to take a stand for God's Word and ways in increasingly challenging times, and as someone has said, "All it takes for evil to flourish is good men to stand by and do nothing"! We need courage to love our wives, teach our children, live honestly and uprightly no matter what, spread the Gospel, overcome fear, and to do all we do with all our heart. God's call to Joshua is a call to us in our day: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9). With this charge, He sent the head of the nation of Israel to conquer the Promised Land. He is calling you to become a courageous warrior today. He will use the 10 lessons in this compact Bible study to help point the way. You'll be guided on this journey by men from Scripture as well as church history and the present day who will serve as mentors of godly courage. You'll also journey deep into the "living and active" word of God (Hebrews 4:12), which He will use to shape you in this process. The world is not as God created it. Evil exists. Persecution happens. God has given men responsibilities, and often we fear failure. Mighty Men of Valor need great courage. That's what Mighty Men of Valor: Book 2 - Courage is all about. As with the additional Bible studies in this series-Mighty Men of Valor: Book 1 - Strength and Mighty Men of Valor: Book 3 - Passion-this study can be used in three essential ways. Use these studies as a daily devotional. We strongly encourage every man to take time out for a daily meeting-or appointment-with God. Work through these studies with another man.

Book Description
Mighty Men of Valor have three distinct characteristics; strength, courage, and passion. In this Bible study we unpack passion. Men need passion to live in light of the fact that the God of the universe chose us to be His children, called us to be kingdom men, and enables us to passionately live like Jesus and advance His Gospel where we live, work, and play through the generations! We see this kind of passion reflected in early church days: "Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord" (Romans 12:11). As the apostle Paul urged the church at Rome to be passionate in serving Jesus, so we welcome you to join us in growing more and more zealous about our great Savior. Ours is a passion based on the truth of God's Word and expressed through a gentleness of spirit. Moses confronted Pharaoh and led the Israelites for four decades; he was a man passionate for God. Yet, God judged Moses as being "more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth" (Numbers 12:3). God is calling you to serve with such passion today. He will use the 10 lessons in this compact Bible study to help point the way. You'll be guided on this journey by men from Scripture as well as church history and the present day who will serve as mentors of godly passion. You'll also journey deep into the "living and active" word of God (Hebrews 4:12), which He will use to shape you in this process. God chose each one of us and adopted us as His children. Jesus died for our sins, paid the debt we owe to God, and gave us new life in Him. Mighty Men of Valor are passionate about their Savior. That's what Mighty Men of Valor: Book 3 - Passion is all about. As with the additional Bible studies in this series-Mighty Men of Valor: Book 1 - Strength and Mighty Men of Valor: Book 2 - Courage-this study can be used in three essential ways.

Book Description
Until recently, most non-biblical manuscripts attested in the Qumran library were regarded as copies of texts that were composed after the books of the Hebrew Bible were written. Students of the Hebrew Bible found the Dead Sea Scrolls therefore mostly of interest for the textual and interpretative histories of these books. The present collection confirms the importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls for both areas, by showing that they have revolutionized our understanding of how the text of the biblical books developed and how they were interpreted. Beyond the textual and interpretative histories, though, many texts attested in the Qumran library illuminate the time in which the later books of the Hebrew Bible were composed and reworked as well as Jewish life and law in the time when the canon of the Hebrew Bible developed. This volume gives important examples as to how the early texts attested in the Dead Sea Scrolls help to better understand individual biblical books and as to how the later texts among them illustrate Jewish life and law when the canon of the Hebrew Bible evolved. In order to find an adequate expertise for the seminar »The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Hebrew Bible«, the editors invited both junior and senior specialists in the fields of Hebrew Bible, Second Temple Judaism, Dead Sea Scrolls and Rabbinics to Rome.

Book Description
Being a Man is a formative work which reveals the myriad and complex negotiations for constructions of masculine identities in the greater ancient Near East and beyond. Through a juxtaposition of studies into Neo-Assyrian artistic representations and omens, biblical hymns and narrative, Hittite, Akkadian, and Indian epic, as well as detailed linguistic studies on gender and sex in the Sumerian and Hebrew languages, the book challenges traditional understandings and assumed homogeneity for what it meant "to be a man" in antiquity. Being a Man is an indispensable resource for students of the ancient Near East, and a fascinating study for anyone with an interest in gender and sexuality throughout history.
