“From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible reveals that God cares about the work you do. And yet, if you ask almost anyone who attends church, they will tell you they’ve never heard a sermon about work. We hope to change that.” —Dr. Haddon Robinson President, TOW Project

The Theology of Work Project is a group of renowned thinkers, academics, and business leaders who create content to help people explore the Christian perspective on work. Now, Hendrickson Publishers and the Theology of Work Project have formed a unique partnership to publish a new line of books about faith in the workplace.

What does the Bible have to say about work? This one-of-a-kind Bible resource answers that very question.
The Theology of Work Bible Commentary is an in-depth Bible study tool put together by a group of Bible scholars and business-people.

- Spiritual Leadership- Preaching, Corporate Prayer, and Discipleship- The Leader’s Spiritual Life- Shepherding Others- Evangelism and Social Justice
The individual articles within this Bible provide basic overviews on topics from managing and motivating volunteers, to managing conflict, to ministering to someone with an eating disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder.

KJV Ministry Essentials BibleA comprehensive Bible for everyone in leadership
NIV KJV
God gave us a message to tell us about himself and his plan for our lives, and also to show us how much he loves us. We call this message the Bible. The Fire Bible for Kids has special tools to help you see God’s love in action and learn how he wants you to live.
You might wonder why we call this the Fire Bible for Kids. In the Bible, fire is often a symbol of God’s presence and power. In the Old Testament, God spoke to Moses in a burning bush and guided his people through the wilderness in the form of a pillar of fire. In the New Testament, Jesus told his followers that he would send the Holy Spirit to give them the power to serve him after he returned to heaven. Though the sign of fire occurred only on that special day, we can still receive the spiritual power that God gave to the disciples. The Fire Bible for Kids provides tools that will help young Christians be filled with the fire of God’s mighty power.

The Scriptures are full of wonder and praise, and God calls us to share life together in this way, embracing beauty and living with joy in community. Yet more often than not our lives become characterized by to-do lists and trials. Within this Bible study, you’ll be reminded that each day you have a chance to celebrate, no matter what your circumstances. Learn to embrace holy moments that provoke wonder and praise, and view celebration as a spiritual discipline that can help you live with joy, even amid the meager and mundane. We are also called to become love in action for one another and for the world. When this happens, we get a glimpse of the love God has for us. In community we are stronger to face whatever comes at us.
This two-part Bible study will lead you through Scripture passages, discussion questions, food for thought, and prayer to help you put the disciplines of celebration and community into practice.

Everything is personal with God—every creative stroke and redemptive act. He sees the needs of his people and invites us to serve and support one another, sharing his light and love. This study’s goal is to reacquaint you with both serving and mentoring, for God desires us to be ever on a continuum of learning and teaching, of serving and being served. Such a rhythm keeps us sane, refreshed, inventive, and humble.
The lessons in this study show how service as a spiritual discipline is different from service in general and why Jesus so emphasized this practice. And although a mentor is usually someone “older and wiser” than the person being mentored, this study reminds us that the most important quality needed is love and genuine concern for another individual. As you go about these visible disciplines, be aware that God, as usual, is up to something you cannot see. He has something for you as well within service and mentoring. He has plans to use it to grow you in discipleship.

Out of the evil called the Holocaust arose a witness, a voice that even the Nazis could not silence, a voice that testified to the power of God to overcome every wickedness and sorrow.
Corrie ten Boom is that witness and her powerful story recounts the courage of one Christian family of Dutch watchmakers who determined to save Jews and resistance workers from the Gestapo forces that had overrun the Netherlands.
Following the war Corrie began to tell her story of God’s faithfulness and his mercy, even in the darkest and deepest pit. The same faith that compelled the ten Boom family to stand firm in the face of evil would continue to shape Corrie’s life as she bore witness to the great power of God’s love to forgive, to heal, and to restore.

The author of over 8,000 hymns that remain today at the very heart of Christian worship around the world, Fanny J. Crosby can be ranked among the greatest Christian hymn writers of all time. Her songs are woven so intricately into America’s spiritual life that there is scarcely a hymnal that does not include one of her memorable pieces. Through lyrics that evoke in us times and experiences long forgotten, her hymns have lost none of their power to express the truth about God’s work and love.
Herein are her memories of eighty years. Told in her own words, this book relates her story of a life characterized by great spiritual depth and profuse creativity. Though blind since infancy, Fanny Crosby overcame great prejudice to become a poet and teacher, much beloved and respected. She lived a remarkable life and her passion for God infused her lyrics with evangelistic zeal that points people to a loving and welcoming Lord.

With sound historical scholarship and penetrating insight, Roland Bainton examines Luther’s widespread influence. He re-creates the spiritual setting of the sixteenth century, showing Luther’s place within it and influence upon it. Richly illustrated with more than 100 woodcuts and engravings from Luther’s own time, Here I Stand dramatically brings to life Martin Luther, the great Reformer.
A specialist in Reformation history, Roland H. Bainton was for forty-two years Titus Street Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Yale, and he continued his writing well into his twenty years of retirement. Bainton wore his scholarship lightly and had a lively, readable style. His most popular book was Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther (1950), which sold more than a million copies.

• The classic and popular sermons of Spurgeon, now repackaged for a modern audience
Since the days he shook the pulpits of Victorian London with Christ-centered passion, each succeeding generation discovers Charles Spurgeon anew. Featuring Easter topics in time for the season, this collection offers homiletic gems from the “Prince of Preachers.” In sermons as timeless as their topics, Spurgeon combines keen intellect, scriptural truth, and a zeal for making God known to a world in darkness.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) was Victorian England’s most gifted pastor. Ordained at age twenty, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon opened his career of spectacularly effective preaching at London’s New Park Street Chapel. Even in his own time, Spurgeon’s printed sermons—there were nearly 3,600 of them—were prized by fellow preachers for their ideal homiletic models, and by ordinary believers for their deeply devotional encouragement to follow Christ.
Target audience: Those interested in theology; pastors and laypeople, parishioners, preachers, and believers in the pew.

The world of apocalyptic literature can be both vast and confusing. To journey successfully through its complexities, it is best to have an experienced tour guide to direct you to the sites most representative of that world. In this way the new traveler can avoid dead ends, skip the fruitless excursions, and instead enjoy the ride. Reddish’s introductions to the otherworldly writings of Judaism—including the War Scroll from Qumran and books such as 1 Enoch from the so-called Old Testament Pseudepigrapha—as well as to the apocalyptic documents of Christianity, including the noncanonical apocalypses of Peter, Paul, and James, and related works such as the Sibylline Oracles, are simply superb. Those wanting a more informed understanding of these centuries-old writings of hope and despair will not be disappointed.
Mitchell G. Reddish is O.L. Walker Professor of Christian Studies and Department Chair of Religious Studies at Stetson University, Deland, Florida.
Target audience: Those interested in theology; pastors and laypeople, parishioners, preachers, and believers in the pew.
