Most of us are regular people who have good days and bad days. Our lives are radically ordinary and unexciting. That means they're the kind of lives God gets excited about. While the world worships beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, the foolish, working in unawesome people, things, and places.In our day of celebrity worship and online posturing, this is a refreshing, even transformative way of understanding God and our place in his creation. It urges us to treasure a life of simplicity, to love those whom the world passes by, to work for God's glory rather than our own. And it demonstrates that God has always been the Lord of the cross--a Savior who hides his grace in unattractive, inglorious places.Your God Is Too Glorious reminds readers that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it's the regular, everyday people that God tends to use to do his most important work.

God's word is a powerful tool. It's a weapon for good and a sword of defense. It's fully alive and breathing in the present. This is why even Jesus, the son of God Himself, used scripture to fight the lies of Satan. While Jesus was fasting in the wilderness for 40 days and nights, the devil tried to tempt Him. Jesus knew exactly which scriptures to use to speak truth over the lies of Satan. He would make a powerful statement in replying to Satan with "It is written" followed by quoting God's truth. This is such a powerful moment because even Jesus faced temptation, but He shows us how to overcome. His example shows us what we need to fight with when attacked with the lies of the enemy. This book is designed to be a quick reference tool that pulls scripture together as it relates to common life experiences and feelings we face. My hope is that you will be able to read the scriptures in each section when you are facing those feelings and understand God's truth. Through understanding God¿s truth, you can begin to overcome the lies of the enemy. I encourage you to find and highlight these scriptures in your Bible as well and speak them over yourself. Whether you are feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed or one of the other feelings highlighted in the chapters, use the scriptures to speak truth over the lies.

But the Bible, more than any other book, is also the most maligned on the market. Many of the cities of our culture dismiss the Word of God. In What If the Bible Had Never Been Written?, D. James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe show that this collection of books was indeed the inspiration for almost all of the great explorers, scientists, writers, artists, politicians, and educators the world has ever known. That such a book, which has influenced so many and stood the test of time for so long, is dismissed as folklore or myth, just goes to show what extremes nonbelievers will go to rationalize their behavior. From the Ten Commandments, which many of our laws and government are based upon, to the Golden Rule, a verse taken straight out of the New Testament, to many of today's most common phrases and expressions...there is no doubt as to the influence the Bible has on everyone, in some degree, every day. What If the Bible Had Never Been Written? provides a well-documented and in-depth look at the impact the Book of Books has had on humanity, pointing to specific areas in today's society that would not be as they are now, if it were not for the Bible.
