- Multiple Guide to Pre-Marital Counseling
- Multiple (Bible.org) Faith Has Its Reasons© This series is a book co-authored by Kenneth D. Boa and Robert M. Bowman, Jr. in which they basically give us a complete course in Apologetics, examining from a historical point of view those movers (people) and movements (belief systems or methods of approach and treatment) of apologetics. The value of this work is hard to describe, because they give a tremendous overview and explanation of apologetics. The work is hard to understand at times because apologetics is not really an easy, simple, straightforward system. So they both get involed into the particulars and give an overview with is great on both accounts.
P

- Wallace, Daniel B. NT Introductions and Outlines Introductions and Outlines to each book of the New Testament. By Daniel B. Wallace, Ph.D., Professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary Twisting Scripture This is a short work I found by Daniel Wallace, Dallas Theological Seminary professor. He has 4 chapters: Read me first!, Avoid every appearance of evil, is self-love biblical? and the offer of Salvation. Each of these chapters basically deals with some aspect of improper interpretation, although I do not personally agree with all of his conclusions in this work.

From the Webmaster: Read excellent write-up of theWord on C-Net about theWord!
I don't like the fact that I didn't find theWord earlier...like years ago!!! It's great! Wow! and Thanks to the software writers/developers!...is about all I can say... :) The program is incredible as are the add-on modules! I'm still telling people about theWord and of the hearts of the people who are involved in it's existence.... Though there are areas and features of the software that will definitely take some learning, other areas that once you work with the software a short while "clicks" with you, but a good portion of the features are intuitive and seem to have a natural "thought" flow to them. I've only been using theWord for a few days, but I've had no (ZERO) problems with the software. The program itself downloaded and installed without a hitch. The "modules" that you download (bibles, books, etc.) have all downloaded and imported easily. It is a very smooth running program. I even tried my hand at building a module/book from a Gutenberg text file...nothing fancy, but it worked. :) Anyhow, no problems and easy installation and initial setup. Excellent, excellent software package! I'm thinking about burning a few CD's and handing out to some folks at church and work. ;)
