Welcome
to Book Bargains & Previews!
Today I'm previewing 2 books for your home library.
While these aren't books that you would read
cover-to-cover in a sitting, they are great Bible Study
tools that I feel everyone should have in their home.
I found them at a good price at CBD, but if you'd like to
purchase them directly from me at retail price with FREE
shipping, use our
special order form.
Remember to
check out the books on the side bar and to visit our
sponsors.
Happy Reading!

Manners & Customs of Bible Times
By Ralph Gower
Retail: $29.99
CBD Price: $20.99
30% Savings!
We know that
John the Baptist ate locusts—but were they insects or
sweet beans? Why did a fish swallow a coin that Jesus
later used to pay the temple tax? How could walking
beside a donkey have made Joseph a laughingstock?
Good handling
of biblical passages demands a working knowledge of the
historical and cultural context from which it was written.
This bestselling reference book contains colorful
photography and artwork, as well as maps, diagrams and
charts. Additionally, there are scripture and topical
indexes for quick fact-checking. Bible students and
laypeople who teach in the church will benefit from and be
fascinated by the helpful features of The New Manners
and Customs of Bible Times.

Word.

The MacArthur New Testament Commentary: 2 Peter &
Jude
By John MacArthur, Jr.
Retail: $22.99
CBD Price: $16.99
26% Savings!
From the bestselling bible commentator alive, we are
releasing 2 Peter & Jude, the 24th addition to
the MacArthur New Testament Commentary series. This
volume will include 9 chapters on 2 Peter and 6 on Jude.
These commentaries have been praised for their
accessibility to lay leaders and are a must for the
library of every pastor. MacArthur gives verse-by-verse
analysis in context and provides points of application for
passages as well as practical illustrations. MacArthur
avoids becoming overly technical, even while tackling the
complex topics found in both of these intriguing New
Testament epistles. With a theologically dispensational
approach, the straightforward explanations are
consistently highlighted with pertinent life applications.
Ideal for pastors, teachers, and laypeople alike!

I have to start out by saying
that John MacArthur is one of my favorite authors &
preachers. I have several volumes in the Commentary
Series and the volume on 2nd Peter & Jude is just as good as
the others I have. If you are looking for a good study
tool that will take you verse by verse through a book of the
Bible, this volume is a must-have for your library.
Dr. MacArthur writes like he
speaks...which is in a simple language that everyone can
understand, even if it is a difficult topic.
I highly recommend this
volume for your home or church library.
