In Their Darkest Hour, Where Would Hope Be Found? In one life-changing moment, the lives of the exiles in Babylon are thrown into despair when a decree from the king's palace calls for the annihilation of every Jewish man, woman, and child throughout the empire in less than one year. Ezra, a quiet but brilliant scholar, soon finds himself called upon to become the leader of his people. Forced to rally an army when all his training has been in the Torah, he struggles to bring hope in a time of utter despair, when dreams of the future--of family and love--seem impossible. In Keepers of the Covenant, acclaimed novelist Lynn Austin weaves together the struggles and stories of both Jews and Gentiles, creating a tapestry of faith and doubt, love and loss. Here, the Old Testament comes to life, demonstrating the everlasting hope displayed in God's unwavering love for His people. Praise of Lynn Austin's Restoration Chronicles "...a powerful new historical series that brings the Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah to life." --Library Journal "Austin shines a bright light on ancient Jewish life and lands. Biblical fiction fans will cheer her latest offering, which bolsters this challenging genre." --Publishers Weekly
In my previous book, Giving to God Is an Investment, my emphasis was prophetically based on the auditorium to be built. In this book, I am now talking about the auditorium worth six point five million rand that was dedicated in 2005. With God all things are possible. Those who trust in him, their faces will not be covered by shame. Our auditorium veranda for Xihlovo Cafeteria is only now complete recently. For nothing is impossible with God. (Luke 1: 37) God has impressed in my heart that if we build capacity to contain we must as well build capacity to maintain. Capacity to contain requires finances to maintain the standard of work achieved. When we grow numerically, we should as well grow financially and spiritually. God is not only building our church but the all-sufficient one is building an institution. This is a large tree with a big shade where the weary, unwanted, rejected, abused, divorced, separated, misused, thirsty and hungry shall come and take refuge and find rest. This vision is unique in its kind; it cannot be compared with any other vision from somewhere. This is an institution to feed thousands of thousands; it is a hospital to the wounded. It is a university for those who want to excel in character-building and integrity those whose hearts are after Gods own heart, those who will serve him in holiness, righteousness, and purity of heart. It will not just be people ushered in but those who were touched by the holy conviction and brought by the Holy Spirit into his house. This is Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem and the city of the living God. When you come, you come to the thousands upon thousands of angels in a joyful assembly, to the church of the first-born whose names are written in heaven. When you come, you come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirit of righteous men made perfect, to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him, who warned them on earth, how much less will we if we turn away from him who warns you from heaven? Hebrews 12: 2225 As the Rector of Hardrock Academy of Leadership Training and Life Training College, I compelled to ask those who read this book to come to obedience of his commands, as you cannot become unless you come. Come and follow me as I follow Christ. It is a great experience to build the house of God. We have been tested, opposed and criticised, but the Lord has delivered us form all delaying spirits and Sanballats. There are differences in the body which are expressions of legitimate diversity, others are demoralising to those who do not know on how to master the art of spiritual warfare but to some they are church diving with its divergence and separations. We need to strategise a convergence of building in unison and Kingdom-mindedness, of having the mind of Christ, by building Gods Kingdom and not our kingdoms. For thine is the Kingdom, the power and glory. (Matt. 6: 13)
"The Mystery of Christ is well-written, displays ample knowledge of issues discussed concerning covenant theology by Baptists and paedobaptists, grounds its arguments in scriptural exegesis and theology, recovers old arguments for a new day, presents a cohesive map of the covenants of Scripture, and exalts our Lord Jesus Christ, the last Adam, throughout." -- from cover review by Richard C. Barcellos
Leading scholar Daniel Block helps students of the Bible understand the big picture of God's covenants with humanity as they play out in both the First and the New Testaments. After fifty years of teaching and preaching around the globe, Block brings a lifetime of study and reflection on the First Testament and relationship with God to this comprehensive volume. The book focuses on God's covenants as the means by which God has reached out to a fallen humanity. It examines the heart and history of God's redemptive plan and shows why the covenants are essential for our understanding of the Bible.

Building on the foundation of Kingdom through Covenant (Crossway, 2012), Stephen J. Wellum and Brent E. Parker have assembled a team of scholars who offer a fresh perspective regarding the interrelationship between the biblical covenants. Each chapter seeks to demonstrate how the covenants serve as the backbone to the grand narrative of Scripture. For example, New Testament scholar Thomas Schreiner writes on the Sabbath command from the Old Testament and thinks through its applications to new covenant believers. Christopher Cowan wrestles with the warning passages of Scripture, texts which are often viewed by covenant theologians as evidence for a "mixed" view of the church. Jason DeRouchie provides a biblical theology of “seed” and demonstrates that the covenantal view is incorrect in some of its conclusions. Jason Meyer thinks through the role of law in both the old and new covenants. John Meade unpacks circumcision in the OT and how it is applied in the NT, providing further warrant to reject covenant theology's link of circumcision with (infant) baptism. Oren Martin tackles the issue of Israel and land over against a dispensational reading, and Richard Lucas offers an exegetical analysis of Romans 9-11, arguing that it does not require a dispensational understanding. From issues of ecclesiology to the warning passages in Hebrews, this book carefully navigates a mediating path between the dominant theological systems of covenant theology and dispensationalism to offer the reader a better way to understand God’s one plan of redemption.
Challenging the dominant Van Tillian approach in Reformed apologetics, this book by a leading expert in contemporary Reformed theology sets forth the principles that undergird a classic Reformed approach. J. V. Fesko's detailed exegetical, theological, and historical argument takes as its starting point the classical Reformed understanding of the "two books" of God's revelation: nature and Scripture. Believers should always rest on the authority of Scripture but also can and should appeal to the book of nature in the apologetic task.
Today, many of us have lost our appreciation of the beauty of covenant theology and covenant community, and this has had dire consequences for us, resulting in misunderstandings of theology and individualism and isolationism in the church. Author Sarah Ivill believes that a key solution to this problem is a robust understanding of covenant theology, which will deepen our knowledge of Scripture and enable us to truly serve our sisters by pointing them to Christ. In The Covenantal Life , the author clearly and concisely sets forth the beauty of covenant theology and covenant community and encourages us to learn sound doctrine so that we can think biblically about the circumstances in our lives—and then help our sisters in Christ to do so as well.
