The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it - from garden seeds to Scripture - is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family’s tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.

Genesis Walker has spent years trying to live up to the expectations of her faith, her family, and the kind of woman she believes she’s supposed to be. But despite her devotion to God and her dedication to doing things the right way, she’s still haunted by old desires and the memory of the bad boys who once owned her heart. Safe, stable, and perfectly predictable Algernon should be everything she wants—everything she’s prayed for. But her heart refuses to follow logic. Then there’s Preston Nash.

These errors are largely due to a misunderstanding of the author's message by employing an interpretation methodology that serves to promote a presupposed purpose, or answer questions that the author never intended. The ...

The Bible is meant to be read in its complete context so nothing is missed or mistaken. Paul's books are cohesive letters, and once you experience reading each as an actual letter without the distraction of random ...

In this basic introduction to faith, D. A. Carson takes seekers, new Christians, and small groups through the big story of scripture. He helps listeners to know what they believe and why they believe it.
