How Can A Parent Find Peace Of Mind?As parents, we sometimes find ourselves wondering about the future and wishing that God had assured us of more predictable results. It’s actually more loving, however, to parent our children without such a confident prediction.

WHY IS LIFE SO UNFAIR?On a bad day, we might agree with the cynic who observed that “no good deed goes unpunished.” In reflective moments, we may find ourselves embittered by the inequality and injustice that show up on every page of human experience.

#QV428, 44-page, 4-week study

Overcoming Failure – David & ManassehOver the years I have learned that God has many ways to make us into the people He wants us to be. But it seems that His preferred method is through resistance. The greater the resistance, the greater the growth. What we see as obstacles to achievement, God sees as opportunities for growth. What we see as loss, criticism, failure, humiliation, temptation, depression, loneliness, and moral failure become the means by which we grow strong if we are “trained” by these forces, as the author of Hebrews would say (12:11).

This Bible study is mainly about overcoming failure. We will examine two Old Testament men who failed miserably, David & Manasseh, and see how God used their failure to make them strong. We will discover that God wastes nothing in our lives – not even sin.

#DP083, 48-page, 4-week study

Did Christ Really Rise From The Dead?So much depends on the answer to this question. The reliability of the Bible. The answer to your search for meaning. The destiny of all people. It all depends on whether or not Jesus is alive. Did His body ever leave the grave?

No matter which side of the issue you are on – a Christian who has faith in the resurrection or a nonbeliever who finds this miracle too good to be true – we hope this study will help you. Explore with us why we can trust the biblical account of what happened on that first Easter morning.

#QE475, 48-page, 6-week study

Does God Want Me Well?Does God use sickness in the lives of His children to build character? Is this consistent with the actions of a loving God? Are we sick because we don’t have the faith to be healed? Is God healing people today through the ministry of faith healers? When sickness or suffering attacks us or someone close to us, what should we think? What should we do?

These questions, and many others like them, are answered in this study by RBC senior research editor Herb Vander Lugt. He shows what the Bible teaches about healing. And he uncovers four positive, unassailable certainties that every child of God can count on in times of sickness and suffering.

How Can I Understand The Bible?If scholars disagree about how to interpret the Bible, how can we hope to make sense of the Scriptures? While such a question can seem overwhelming, it doesn’t need to be. What can be understood by the average layman is far more important than what scholars disagree about.

Most important, the Author of the Bible has not left the reader alone. Paul signalled God’s commitment to help us when he wrote, “Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this” (2 Tim. 2:7 NIV). With this confidence, we offer in the following pages a simple rule that can provide focus for a lifetime of study and discovery.
