The Gospels To Learn Spanish

The Holy Bible is the infallible word of God. The Bible is also great literature. The King James Bible is one of the glories of English literature. Much of the literary beauty of the Bible comes from the context and stories that are being portrayed and is therefore identical in other languages. Why not using our reading of the Holy Bible to learn a foreign language, and kill two birds with the same stone? You can read the Holy Scriptures in Spanish and, if you have a doubt, check the word of God in English, right next to it.

This bilingual Spanish-English version of the Gospel of Matthew is based on the Reina-Valera translation of the Bible. The Spanish text contains about 3,200 words including plurals and conjugations, but the sentences are generally constructed from shorter phrases, which helps to keep them comprehensible for the student. The English text in this book was translated from the Spanish so that, unlike the King James English translation, it closely matches the structure and vocabulary used in the Spanish text. The Spanish and English texts are laid out in separate but aligned columns. This parallel format enables the student to practice reading Spanish without becoming distracted by the English, while also making it easy to find the English translation for an unknown word in context. Additionally, every word or phrase in the Spanish text is linked to its corresponding English translation - see the lower right corner of the cover (or inside) for an example. And both texts are fully indexed so that other uses of a word can be found. All together, these features make this book accessible to part-time Spanish language students as early as the second semester of study (U.S. 8th grade), and useful as a language enrichment or independent study resource, particularly for motivated Bible students or missionaries with no prior experience with the Spanish language.

Using colored beads, this workbook is designed to teach you some basic Spanish phrases and Biblical concepts to communicate--in simple terms--the story of salvation in Jesus. This workbook is ideal for anyone who is going on a mission trip to a Latin American country. Also, for someone who lives in a community where there are Spanish-speakers who need to hear about Jesus.

Nearly 200,000 copies sold! Chosen by God by Dr. R. C. Sproul is a contemporary classic on predestination, a doctrine that isn’t just for Calvinists. It is a doctrine for all biblical Christians. In this updated and expanded edition of Chosen by God, Sproul shows that the doctrine of predestination doesn’t create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God, but rather paints a portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt humans. We choose God because he has opened our eyes to see his beauty; we love him because he first loved us. There is mystery in God’s ways, but not contradiction.

First published in 1994, and revised in 2005, this classic edition includes updated suggestions for further reading at the end of the book.

They knew us before we began to walk upright. Shamans called them guardians, mythmakers called them tricksters, pagans called them gods, churchmen called them demons, folklorists called them shape-shifters. They’ve obligingly taken any role we’ve assigned them, and, while needing nothing from us, have accepted whatever we thought was their due – love, hate, fear, worship, condemnation, neglect, oblivion. Even in modern times, when their existence is doubted or denied, they continue to extend invitations to those who would travel a different road, a road not found on any of our cultural maps. But now, perceiving us as a threat to life itself, they issue their invitations with a dark purpose of their own. In this dazzling metaphysical thriller, four who put themselves in the hands of these all-but-forgotten Others venture across a sinister American landscape hidden from normal view, finding their way to interlocking destinies of death, terror, transcendental rapture, and shattering enlightenment.
