    The Message Bible - Ep. 85

    This is a bit different for us here at The Book podcast. We review the message student devotional Bible which was written by Eugene Peterson back in the 70s. It has been updated for students as we see in the title it calls itself a devotional. We review the book to see how it fares as a Bible to be used by teens. It is not a word for word translation but a dynamic equivalent. In other words, it is a paraphrasing commentary on the Bible. Gabriel and I discuss this usage and adaptability in order to reach those who might not be familiar with the text. Maybe because of our age difference we come to different conclusions that we will leave for you to see in the recording. We, Scott and Gabe, need to know if you guys like the content.

    Spiritual Warfare w/ Dr. Robert Dean - Ep. 81

    Do you ever wonder about the claims of people who say believers are to go against the powers of Satan? You can claim territories from Jesus, put a hedge around people, or fight with the principalities and powers of the neither world. Dean and Ice show the foolishness of such false doctrine by going directly to the only authoritative source the believer has, the Bible, the Word of God and Holy Writ. There is all sorts of false teaching out there in the internet world that we should beware of. Be equipped and prepared with the truth from this volume written by two deep thinkers and Biblicists, Thomas Ice and Robert Dean. They share with us strategies for effective spiritual warfare as we live in Holy Rebellion to the evil one. https://www.amazon.com/Bible-Teaches-about-Spiritual-Warfare/dp/1964184193?ref_=ast_author_mpb We, Scott and Gabe, need to know if you guys like the content.

    Antisemitism in the End Times w/ Dr. Olivier Melnick - Ep. 79

    Why is antisemitism on the rise in America and around the world? First thing is to recognize that this is so. There are many suggestions, or may I say excuses, as to why, but the simple answer is that it is a Satanic attack upon God’s chosen people. This book will give to you the historical background of Judaism and the why and how we have arrived at this sad state of affair. Olivier explains how antisemitism has metastasized among those who actually support the Jewish people. There has also been a change from classic antisemitism to a new form of antisemitism. He then shares how we can stand against this scourge and support the Jewish people. https://www.amazon.com/Antisemitism-End-Times-Worlds-Messiahs/dp/0736991859 We, Scott and Gabe, need to know if you guys like the content.

    What’s Wrong with the Chosen? w/ Timothy Mulder - Ep. 78

    We apologize for the technical difficulties on this one. It was edited the best we could to minimize the distractions. Many followers of the television show The Chosen will not like to read this book about the series but they need to consider its implications for the gospel’s sake. Timothy Mulder shares a biblical critique of The Chosen in which he suggests that basing one’s understanding on non-biblical truth can be detrimental to your spiritual life. He answers the questions whether The Chose is biblically accurate and secondly, whether that matters. The show is critically acclaimed (is that really good?) and watched all over the world. It’s growing influence perhaps overshadows the Scriptures itself. Did God intend to speak to humankind through actors His precious thoughts and intentions? Is it even correct to show a man in the stead of the God of heaven? You listen and you decide. We, Scott and Gabe, need to know if you guys like the content.
