Understand the Old Testament as never before! The Old Testament is a most valuable book of scripture. It is the source of several favorite Bible stories many of us heard when we were growing up, such as Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Noah and the Flood, David and Goliath, Ruth, Daniel in the Lions' Den, and many more. However, far beyond, it is a rich source of gospel doctrines and teachings of the plan of salvation. It teaches the Creation, the Fall, and the Atonement of Christ in many ways and with rich examples, including in the law of Moses.

In this third edition, noted teacher and gospel scholar David J. Ridges brings the Old Testament to life with his well-known teaching skills.

This book focuses on what ...

Discipline isn't a feeling. It's a system. Most men know what they should be doing. The early mornings. The deep work. The calm response instead of the reaction. The follow-through.

This is a hybrid guidebook and workbook built for men who are tired of reading about discipline and ready to build it. It takes the timeless principles of Stoic philosophy and turns them into a practical, repeatable system you can apply starting today, not someday. What makes this different Most books on ...

How can a faith built on a singular call to absolute oneness break into thousands of competing institutions?
