The prophet Isaiah’s words in Isaiah 53 are so valued that Martin Luther once said that they “ought to be written on parchment of gold and lettered in diamonds.” Timothy J. E. Cross’s The Gospel According to Isaiah: A Devotional Commentary on Isaiah 53 will help you understand why. Written more than 800 years before the birth of Christ, Isaiah 53 actually contains one of the clearest views of the person and work of Christ in all the Scripture. Cross expounds on this prophetic chapter verse-by-verse, explaining the nuances of the text in relation to their historical context and their importance to New Testament theology.

When the disciples overheard the Lord Jesus praying, they felt like children in the school of prayer. They truly longed to be able to pray like Jesus but didn't know how. So, on one occasion, they said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples” (Luke 11:1). The result? The greatest example of prayer known to man—the Lord’s Prayer.

Paul’s brief letter to Philemon is surely one of the Holy Spirit’s neglected legacies to the Christian church. A Postcard from Paul: The Letter of Paul to Philemon brings this largely unknown letter alive for you today. An enlightening look at Paul’s short letter to Philemon on behalf of a runaway slave, Timothy Cross’ book offers a penetrating look at this model of tact, diplomacy, wisdom, and politeness. Paul’s timeless letter concerning grace and acceptance in light of the gospel, regardless of station in life, is an enduring testimony to the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

We face many threats to our inner peace and equilibrium. The storms of life, illness, disappointment, tragedy, and redundancy strike us so suddenly. Life in this world is no smooth passage.

The Christian life is a curious mixture of praying and partying. Partying? Yes, because Christians have a salvation to celebrate! Christians have a joy which this world can neither give nor take away The Christian life is a feast not a fast. It is characterized by abundance not abstinence. It is a continual rejoicing in the grace and goodness of God. This celebration begins in this life and will continue unhindered in a fuller, richer way in the life to come. In Old Testament times, God instituted various Feasts throughout the year for His ‘people’s blessing. He commanded His people to party! This book looks at these feasts and considers their true significance in the light of their ultimate fulfilment in Christ.

In Revelation 7:10, the exuberant praise uttered by the redeemed in glory is: ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!’ Salvation is the overarching theme of the Bible, the jewel in the crown of the Christian faith, and the cause of praise and wonder in every Christian who has come to know its joy. The main message of the Bible could be said to be God’s salvation of His people through His promised Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ— the Lamb who was slain to procure the salvation of God’s people. The gospel of Christ is ‘… the power of God for salvation to every one who has faith’ (Romans 1:16). The gospel of Christ is ‘… the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation’ (Ephesians 1:13).

There is no book like the Bible, for the Bible alone reveals the way to live blessedly for ever. It contains our Maker’s instructions for a truly happy life, a happy death and a happy eternity. It is the only sure guide to how we may ‘glorify God and enjoy Him for ever’, and so fulfil our chief end. We thus ignore the Bible–the written Word of God–at our peril.
