Coming Soon to Your Bible Class

Now is the time to start planning for fall Bible classes. Gospel Advocate’s Companion is the perfect tool for teachers and serious Bible students. It covers the same lesson material as Gospel Advocate’s popular adult quarterly Foundations, with more in-depth insights and aids for the teacher.

The fall 2015 quarter begins by looking at the miracles of Jesus; winter has a discussion of Samuel, the judge and prophet. Spring’s topic is “Tragedy and Hope in Jeremiah,” and summer will have a topical study of minor New Testament figures.

Gospel Advocate’s goal has always been to bring you books and materials that will be helpful in your Christian walk. Let our family be of help to your family.

Seasoning Your Words, Nancy Eichman’s classic ladies book on managing our mouths has now been updated and revised!

None of us are immune to the faults of the tongue. “For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food” (Job 34:3).

Some people may downplay the effect of their words: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” But words are powerful. Like a forest fire raging out of control, ill-chosen words can ravage and sear the heart. However, appropriate, timely words can soothe the deep burning pains of the soul.

Nancy Eichman has found that the Bible is filled with examples and advice about the kind of speech God desires. If you ever have trouble with words – saying something you shouldn’t or failing to say something you should – then this study is for you. Digital communication and social media add a whole new dimension to this problem. Learn to apply Nancy’s classic lessons in a modern way.

Only the seasoning of God’s wisdom can produce speech that is tasteful to all.

Eichman has a passion for studying the Bible and writing about it for ladies Bible classes. A graduate of Freed-Hardeman and Harding universities, she works as a program coordinator in the graduate program at the University of South Carolina. Nancy lives in Columbia, S.C., with her husband, Phillip, and they have two grown children, John and Amy.

A Wish List: From GA Publisher Neil W. Anderson

In every issue of Gospel Advocate is a human interest column called “The Anderson Files” written by GA publisher Neil W. Anderson. This article is excerpted from the April edition.

A lot of fascination has recently been expressed in a person’s “bucket list,” those things an individual would like to do while still able. I don’t have a bucket list, but I do have a wish list. As the GA approaches our 160th anniversary, I wish to add considerably to our archives. I would love to have more of those little cards that made up our curriculum for children for many years. I would be happy to receive old copies of the GA, not from the last three or four decades but from the really early days – the 1860s to the 1900s.

Our archives have very few of the advertising items from our past. Any of those things bearing the GA logo used to remind people of the company and of its work with churches would be a great addition for us. Finally I would be particularly interested in any correspondence with the staff of the GA over the many years. How easily we let the past slip away! Only when we have a major anniversary do we think about reclaiming some of that past. That’s why I am thinking of my “wish list.” Email me at neil.anderson@gospeladvocate.com.

Are Your Words Tasteful?

Words are an influential tool that we use every single day. In her new book Sweet Speak, Elizabeth Jimenez examines God’s guidelines and examples in His Word on how to speak in ways that will please Him. Thinking before we speak and planning to use thoughtful words can encourage someone and keep them from anger or heartache.

Jimenez offers challenges, discussions and insights for young girls on how they can speak with purpose. Set up as a workbook, each girl will be challenged to get into the Scriptures and to apply the lessons to her life. Whether it is for personal study or class study, this book will help preteen or teenage girls learn how to choose words wisely.

Jimenez

Elizabeth Jimenez and her family attend Mount Juliet, Tenn., Church of Christ, where they are involved with the Hispanic ministry. Elizabeth is a graduate of Freed-Hardeman and Tennessee State universities. She has been involved in missions since she was a student at FHU, including spending two years in Mexico.

Genesis:  an origin, creation or beginning

Justin Rogers, Bible professor at Freed-Hardeman University, presents a practical approach to Genesis. His new book, In the Beginning, starts with creation and moves through the book, teaching down-to-earth lessons about sin, drunkenness, service and sacrifice, leaving a legacy, and more.

Rogers makes the book of Genesis accessible and easy to understand while still challenging his readers to find meaning in stories that have been handed down for generations.

Gospel Advocate’s goal has always been to bring you books and materials that will be helpful in your Christian walk. Let our family be of help to your family.

How will you climb to the spiritual heights God has envisioned for you?

Mountain climbing is not for the faint of heart. It is a grueling process. You often feel like quitting, but if you persevere until you reach the summit, you earn the satisfaction of standing thousands of feet above the world.

Faith is not for the faint of heart either. It requires you to make difficult choices that will dictate your actions as you strive to reach the ultimate summit. Fortunately for us, we have something climbers don’t have. We have Jesus – the Rope reaching down from heaven to guide us, strengthen us and give focus to our lives.

Matthew W. Morine uses his experience on the “fourteeners” of Colorado (mountains over 14,000 feet) to teach about faith. Geared specifically toward late high school and college-age students, A Mountain Moving Faith is sure to take your personal relationship with God to new heights.

Morine

Morine, originally from Nova Scotia, Canada, is a graduate of the Brown Trail School of Preaching, Heritage Christian, Lipscomb and Freed-Hardeman universities, and has a doctorate of ministry from Harding School of Theology. He is the pulpit minister for the Castle Rock Church of Christ in Castle Rock, Colo. He and his wife, Charity, have two children.

Who Are Those Guys?

Women can gain much by studying men of the Bible. They are often excellent examples of what to do (and not to do)!

So often when we read the Old Testament, all we notice are the superheroes of faith – larger-than-life men like Abraham, Moses and David. We may have trouble relating to men of such spiritual stature. We think, “I’ll never have the faith of Noah or Joseph.”

But there are other people in the Bible, unsung heroes whose lives and faith made a difference on a smaller scale – people more like us. We can identify with people like Ithamar the list maker. Or how about Caleb, Nabal’s servant and Ebed-Melech who all made a stand for what was right?

Wanda Robinson’s study on relatively unknown men in the Bible is full of lessons on living God’s way. Super-power your faith with a look at these unsung heroes (and a few villains along the way).

Robinson

Wanda Robinson and her husband, Wendell, work with the Graymere Church of Christ in Columbia, Tenn. She teaches classes for ladies, coordinates part of the preschool department, and works with other ministries including the jail ministry. They have three children and seven grandchildren.
