Slogging Along in the Paths of Righteousness
Is the hard path a dead end?
Dale Ralph Davis plunges right into the middle of King David's hard times with a study that resounds with relevance for our own lives today. King David's faith brought him through the muddy parts of life. Will we find that depression is our final response to a hard path? Or will faith carry us beyond?
These Psalms commend a scripture filled life bursting with encouragement.
In this second instalment of his essential guide to the Psalms, trusted theologian Dale Ralph Davis leads readers through a careful study of Psalms 13-24 with clear application for daily life. Using his own translation, Davis sets out a verse-by-verse exposition and crystallises the Psalmist's message with cross-references to situate the passages in broader biblical context. With illustrations from history and personal experience, the truth comes alive.
An indispensable accompaniment to the Psalms. Suitable for use as a personal study guide or as a reference and teaching guide for facilitating small group study.

Torah Story Second Edition An Apprenticeship on the Pentateuch
The gospel story begins in Torah. What culminates at Golgotha starts with the rebellion in the garden. The Torah's story can be framed as a question: How will the word of God overcome the human revolution?
Torah Story offers a student-friendly introduction to the redemptive narrative housed in the first five books of the Bible. Every main chapter introduces a section of Torah with attention to its basic structure.
This is followed by another look at how this portion of Torah connects to the rest of the Christian Bible.
The dynamic design includes opportunities in every chapter to make the most of Torah study including:
A refreshingly new approach to the Torah--neither an introduction nor a commentary--Torah Story provides an apprenticeship on the Old Testament's first five books. But it also provides a model of how to read Scripture intertextually with an eye to the New Testament gospels. It leaves no doubt as to the overarching unity of the message and composition of the Pentateuch. The second edition is streamlined and simplified throughout, with updated examples and new sidebars and imagery.
