Bible Joy

Have you ever wondered what the Old Testament - especially the Old Testament law - has to do with your Christian life? You are not alone. Some Christian leaders believe we should cast off the Old Testament now that we have the New. Carmen Joy Imes disagrees. In this warm, accessible volume, Imes takes listeners back to Sinai, the ancient mountain where Israel met their God, and explains the meaning of events there. She argues that we've misunderstood the command about "taking the Lord's name in vain." Instead, Imes says that this command is about "bearing God's name."

Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” In other words, nothing can change His promises concerning you. Through this inspiring book, ...

He is willing and able to produce these same character traits in all believers. In this book we will learn how to yield to His control so that He might do a great work in conforming us into the image of our Savior.
