1,2 Kings
Part of the People's Bible Teachings series

Justification
How God Forgives
Part of the People's Bible Teachings series
How can God forgive me?
Many people-Christians and non-Christians alike-believe that they need to do something to earn God's love and forgiveness. That's how the rest of the world works. Why should God be any different?
Justification shows how very different God is from people. And what a good thing that is for you and me! While God certainly desires that we live out our faith in love to other people, no certain amount of good works is necessary to earn God's love or forgiveness! He forgives freely-no strings attached.
This book reaffirms the biblical proclamation of justification: You are saved by God's grace through God-given faith in Jesus Christ and what he has done for you.
If you're looking for comfort or asking the question, "How can God forgive me?" then this book is for you.
Trinity
One God, Three Persons
Part of the People's Bible Teachings series
What do Christians mean when we say we worship a triune God?
Two of the most common and oldest of the Christian confessions of faith are the Nicene and Apostles' Creeds. In those statements of faith, Christians profess belief in the triune God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Are these three persons the same God? Is the Trinity just one of the many ways to describe God? What does triune even mean?
Trinity uses the Bible itself to show the truth about the Trinity. It answers the questions, "Can God be known?" and "How can God be known?" and comforts you with the knowledge that what God says about himself in the Bible is what you absolutely need to know in order to be saved.
Through this book, you will grow in appreciation for what God says about himself-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-in his Word!
Part of the People's Bible Teachings series
What does the Bible teach about Jesus? Who is Jesus?
Christ: He is My Lord is a thorough study of what the Bible teaches and says about Jesus Christ.

In an easy-to-read format, this book clearly demonstrates who Jesus is, helping you and other believers develop a strong personal defense against claims that Jesus was merely a prophet, a good man, a humanitarian-or even a fraud.

Do angels and demons exist?
There are so many movies, books, and TV shows about demons and evil spirits. It's hard not to think that they're just myths-fables and fairy tales.

Witness the conflict that's been a part of the universe since creation itself. It's a classic battle of good versus evil in which Jesus comes in humility but leaves in glory.
