Below are books that will help you grow. Inerrancy
Dr. Mal Couch has written this booklet to again substantiate the belief in this most important doctrine. Inerrancy was his masters thesis in graduate school. It was a
reminder to him, and to those who read his thesis, of how important the subject is to all who honor the Scriptures.
Where all of this will go, and how soon the destruction will take over our seminaries and churches, we just do not know, but it could all
happen sooner than we can imagine.
Inerrancy is a book that is important for all pastors, the layman, and also the student in seminary.
It gives the major principles we all need to be reminded of as to how the Bible came to be. But more, our Bible can be trusted.
It is the Word of God!
While the book has much we need to know about, it is written in easy language so that anyone can grasp the subject. Order additional copies for friends and those who love the Word of God.
It will give them assurance when reading their Bible.

The Unfolding Plan of the Bible
The Unfolding Plan of the Bible unfolds the message of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. This booklet is meant to capture visually, and with a
written narration, the highlights of biblical history. It has been said, "History is God's history!" He determined the ages past,
and where all the events of the world are going.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the central figure of the Plan. His coming was prophesied in the past, came to completion 2000 years ago. And
the present turmoil in the world will lead to His future Second Coming!
We are sending this booklet, "The Unfolding Plan of the Bible" out to the entire world. Besides English, it is also translated into German and Spanish.
Recently we just finished a booklet in the Yanomomo tribe dialect (45,000 to 50,000 people) for distribution. Besides the New Testament, this is the only book this particular tribe in the
Amazon area of South America has written in their native language.
We would like to translate this booklet in other languages as well. Will you help make all of this possible?
Someday, in glory, someone will tell you, "Thank you for your making this booklet about the Bible and salvation in the Lord Jesus
available to me."
If you would like to donate to this cause or to order tracts to distribute yourself, please call (254) 675-2681.
We wish to thank you again for helping to make this outreach possible to a dying and lost world. "To God be the glory forever!" -- Dr. Mal Couch
TITUS
Many have missed the purpose of the book of Titus. The doctrine of salvation stands out as the main subject of the book. The book is short and simple but necessary or understanding how God saves those who are His. Titus is easy to read and simple in structure but it touches the heart of everyone who reads and studies it. One of the unusual features of the book is that it points out that both God the Father and the Son are Saviors of all believers. God the Father planned salvation and God the Son carried out that plan in time, here on earth. Dr. Mal Couch is known as a teacher of Bible prophecy but he also works the Greek text in helping students understand the depth of the Word of God from the grammar. He works the book of Titus in helping students gain a grasp of the language of the book as Paul wrote it.

PERHAPS TODAY
Dr. Mal Couch and Dr. Paul Benware have finished working together on a new book making the doctrine of the rapture of the church clear for those who may be confused. This is one of the most important doctrines in Scripture because it tells how the dispensation of the church will end. The authors' hope is that the book is kept simple for those who have not received much teaching from the Word of God on the issue. There are about seventeen different rapture passages in Scripture. Dr. Benware and Dr. Couch have both written extensively on the subject in various publications. One of the most important chapters was written by Dr. Couch that thoroughly explains the subject. This chapter has been re-published in three nationally publicized volumes on theology (Harvest House). Dr. Benware's book “End Times Prophecy” (Moody Press) is one of the most popular works on biblical prophecy and the doctrine of the rapture. For a donation of only $10.

The world is moving rapidly toward the events described in the final days in the book of Daniel. While no one wishes to be a date setter, few can doubt that we are coming into a Middle Eastern and even an international conflict that will give birth to terrible consequences for the entire world. The Middle East and the Islamic hatred of Israel in that part of the world puts our world teetering on the edge of disaster.
Dr. Paul Benware has done an outstanding job in giving us a new and fresh look at prophetic events laid out in this Daniel commentary. He gives specific details on the prophecies and their meaning as many commentaries do not.

Blessed Hope: The Autobiography of John F. Walvoord It would be impossible to write the history of the evangelical church of the last half of the twentieth century without giving Dr. John Walvoord a prominent position. For more than sixty years he has stood, without apology, for the literal interpretation of all Scripture, particularly Bible prophecy. More than any other one man he has kept the "blessed hope" of the pretribulational Rapture alive and well.
The Fundamentals for the Twenty-First Century This new landmark work, with contributions from thirty-four notable Bible scholars, pastors, and teachers, sets forth a distinctively biblical agenda for the Christian faith in the twenty-first century.
In the early decades of the twentieth century, a prophetic series of books took a bold stand in the debate over the essential meaning of Christianity. With the publication of The Fundamentals: A Testimony to the Truth, a new term entered religious language, fundamentalism, which then meant an adherence to the fundamental doctrines of biblical Christianity. Nearly a century later, biblical Christianity faces similar challenges, both from within and without its ranks. The term fundamentalism and the faith it represents have been debased by cultural change, entrenched secularism, and theological confusion. This new landmark work, with contributions from thirty-four notable Bible scholars, pastors, and teachers, sets forth a distinctively biblical agenda for the Christian faith in the twenty-first century.
Dictionary of Premillenial Theology More than fifty scholars combine their expertise to present a historical and topical dictionary of premillennial theology.

An Introduction to Classical Evangelical Hermeneutics A set of written tools and guidelines for an accurate interpretation and understanding of Scripture.
Words...grammar...syntax...context -- all of these elements form the basis for hermeneutics, the principles and practice of interpreting works of literature. Here is a set of written tools and guidelines for an accurate interpretation and understanding of Scripture. Topics covered include: A history of interpretation and the various hermeneutical traditions in Christian history; An examination of dispensational hermeneutics in the early church; The importance of the doctrine of inerrancy in Bible interpretation; and Understanding symbols and types in biblical prophecy.
Inspiration and Inerrancy: God Has Spoken
Mal Couch Presents convincing evidence that the Bible is the literal Word of God, the only standard for life and faith. Understanding how the God of the universe has revealed Himself to humanity will guide the reader to a deeper assurance of faith, a bolder confidence in the teachings of the Bible, and a renewed desire to worship and serve the God of the Scriptures.
Matthew The Gospel of Matthew is all about the King—the King of the Jews, the King who came to die to save His subjects, the King who is coming again to establish His millennial kingdom, the King of Kings. That King is Jesus Christ. Matthew focuses on both the first and second comings of Christ, with the assurance that in both cases, indeed the King is coming!
Matthew, the tax collector turned disciple, writes to Jewish believers and unbelievers alike. For the believers, he emphasizes the legitimacy of Jesus as the long-awaited Jewish Messiah. For the unbelievers, he portrays the One who is the Savior of all people everywhere. His arguments are cogent, his style is vibrant, and his portrayal of Christ is magnificent.
He explains the character and nature of the ministry of John the Baptist as the last of the prophets. He takes us to Caesarea Philippi, a Gentile area, where Jesus announces that He will build His church, and then he lets us listen as the risen Savior challenges His disciples to “go . . . and make disciples of all the nations” (28:18–20). Charles Spurgeon said it best when he proclaimed, “Come just as you are, all guilty, empty, meritless and fall before the great King. And see if He will cast you away. Jesus is ready to pardon you . . . never tolerate low thoughts of Him. You may study, look and meditate, but Jesus is a greater Savior than you think Him to be, even when your thoughts are at their highest.”
Mark While Matthew sets forth Christ's Majesty as King, showing that He is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, Mark's Gospel depicts Christ's Mastery as the Servant-Son of God.
Dr. McGowan observes that the gospel of Mark abruptly begins the story of the Servant-Son. A servant needs no genealogy or description of early background, but this Servant was and is the Son of God.
The most humbling act for any person is to be the servant of another. Pride and arrogance must be set aside. Yet Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords came to serve. He set aside His glory and came to dwell among men. Dr. McGowan's commentary will move your heart to service and sacrifice as you get a real picture of the Servant-Son of God.
Luke
"I’m honored to recommend the Twenty-First Century Biblical Commentary Series. I know I can trust the evangelical soundness and doctrinal integrity of the authors who are now laboring to give us books that will serve the cause of Christ for generations to come."
John The message of the book of John is underlined by the use of two key words, believe, used ninety-eight times and life, used thirty-six times. In The Gospel of John, Elmer Towns places a particular emphasis on these words. The Apostle John wrote with a twofold purpose—as noted in 20:31—to communicate Christ through His miracles and teachings so men might, first, believe that Jesus was indeed who He said He was, the Son of God; and second, they might have eternal life because of their belief.
In twenty-four chapters, Christ's ministry unfolds, and the magnitude of His greatness is revealed through the discussion of His many appellations, including: the Word of God, the Savior, the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life, the Servant, and the Resurrection. The truths revealed in The Gospel of John will help you to better understand what God wrought through the Savior. A series of study questions at the end of each chapter is designed to enable the reader to study the details of the Revelation on their own or in a group setting.
Acts As you dip your toe into the first few pages of the narrative, you just may see your reflection. Perhaps a spark of recognition will be ignited by the hesitant first steps of a fisherman who, at long last, emerges as a "fisher of men." Or perhaps by the strong, athletic stride of legs, useless for forty years, now miraculously healed. Could it be that you relate to the paralyzing chill of being called on to defend your faith before those who despise you? Maybe you recognize the initial flood of disbelief as God answers a prayer that you considered the utmost of longshots?
In a series of vignettes, or "postcards," some historical, some biographical, still others theological, Acts reveals the successes and defeats, the conquests and tragedies of the original band of Jesus' followers. In Acts we are able to share in the joy, the loss, the rejection, the confident assurance, the jealousy, the setbacks, the frustration, the passionate debate and the ultimate triumph of these pioneers of the Jesus movement. These are ordinary people who, through the power and enabling of the Holy Spirit, accomplish extraordinary things in the name of their Messiah. Steven Ger's commentary will encourage you to be a witness for Christ, like these first-century believers who boldly "turned the world upside-down" (17:6).
Romans
The book of Romans has rightly been called "the Constitution of Christianity." In this one letter are recorded the doctrines of justification, sanctification, divine condemnation, divine election, the perseverance of the saints, total depravity, the last judgment, the fall of man, the revelation of God in nature, and so much more. In his commentary, Dr. Kroll indicates that the letter to the church in Rome was Paul's way of depositing a handbook of Christian doctrine into the capital of the Roman Empire.
No other writing has more powerfully confronted the mind of man with the mind of God. The book of Romans brought St. Augustine, Martin Luther, John Wesley, and John Calvin to an understanding of man's need for Christ's righteousness. Every argument that man can muster against the claims of God is thoroughly demolished with unanswerable logic by the apostle Paul. Sometimes these arguments seem complex and beyond our understanding. Dr. Kroll, in the clarity and succinctness he is known for on his radio broadcasts, breaks down Paul's arguments into clear, relevant points and helps the reader apply them to his or her own relationship with Christ. Study questions at the end of each chapter are designed to further clarify the teachings of Paul to individuals and Bible study groups.
First Corinthians
The moral depravity evident throughout Corinth most vividly reflected the spiritual need of that city. The debauchery of the city was so well known in ancient times that "to act the Corinthian" became synonymous with committing fornication. It was within the context of such ungodliness that Paul challenged the believers at Corinth to live as saints.
While the church today faces some new challenges, the issues of church unity, sexual morality, marriage, divorce, modesty, authority, spiritual gifts, and hope are still day-to-day problems for Christians who struggle to live clean in Corinth. Dr. Mitchell's commentary will provide guidance in overcoming these obstacles and live for Christ in a culture that is hostile to Jesus and all He represents.
Second Corinthians
In 2 Corinthians , Paul addresses believers as a coach, a friend, a mentor, and an apostle. He deals with them at a crucial point in the development of the Church…a point where others were trying to manipulate them as a sect of Judaism, denying the gospel of grace. Today, the struggle is not to be unique from Judaism, but to be unique among the melting pot of religions in the world. And that which sets us apart, the grace of God to send His son to die on the cross, has never been more under siege.
Paul had declared the truths of the gospel, but others came to Corinth after him and sought to undermine all he had done. The Christians in Jerusalem were in dire need of help. The false teachers were claiming that Paul was not even an apostle. Rumors and half-truths were common rhetoric. In order to defend the truth, Paul had to defend the call God had placed upon him, and all the things that call had led him to endure. Dan Mitchell brings Paul’s words into focus to challenge every believer to defend the truth, to care for those in need, and to work together in unity to accomplish the goal of presenting Christ to a dying, needy world.
Philippians and Colossians The book of Philippians is often referred to as the epistle of joy. According to Dr. Gromacki, Paul teaches that this joy comes from an understanding of who Christ is and what He has done for each believer, an emphasis on the gospel, and a proper motivation for our actions. Dr. Gromacki discusses the motivation of Paul: "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain" (1:21). Just as people think "golf" when the names Arnold Palmer or Tiger Woods are mentioned, so believers thought 'Christ' when the name of Paul was mentioned. Paul wanted Christ to be magnified in his body, whether through living or dying for Him. The challenge to the reader is: What do people think of when they hear your name?
Colossians contains a classic passage on the preeminence of Jesus Christ (1:14-22). Dr. Gromacki discusses the descriptive titles of Christ used in this passage: the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature, the head of the body, the beginning, and the firstborn from the dead. He is both the creator and sustainer of the universe. Both in the natural and the spiritual creations, Christ is sovereign and should have the preeminence.
Dr. Gromacki also brings out the severe warning in Colossians against unguided human intellect or non-biblical philosophy (2:8). A genuine love for wisdom should lead to a perfect love for Christ (2:3).
First and Second Thessalonians How do we find hope when our world is falling apart?
Every human being on earth is unique, and every person has their own struggles and trials. When trials are at their worst, when hope seems unimaginable, believers may be tempted to question the hand of providence. In the deepest of trials, they must keep walking a righteous path, and take comfort in the fact that God will make all things right. It was early on in the history of the Church, just twenty years or so after the death and resurrection of Christ, when persecution ripped Paul from his young gathering of believers in Thessalonica. Filled with anxiety and undergoing strong persecution, these believers were certainly feeling like everything was caving in around them. Paul wrote 1 Thessalonians to encourage them in their suffering, and to draw their attention to the comfort that can be found in the second coming of Christ. With 2 Thessalonians Paul continues to remind them that Christ’s return will vindicate their place as rightful children of the living God. He corrects the false teachings of some who said that the seven year Tribulation had already begun and that the Lord’s return was so imminent that people should quit their jobs. In this commentary, Mike Stallard’s sound biblical teaching and compassionate heart combine to encourage readers to walk in righteousness and find hope in the second coming of Christ.
James and 1st & 2nd Peter Throughout this commentary, Dr. Baker challenges the reader to test the reality of his or her faith in Christ.
The book of James begins with a theology of suffering (1:2–12) and how faith is enhanced by trials. James also clarifies for us that genuine faith produces works, and any other kind of faith is not "saving." The opening reference to the test of faith provides the key to analyzing James. The test: Is the reader's faith a working faith?
In 1 Peter, salvation and holiness are the basis for an appeal to endure suffering. Peter also looks at the various relationships in which suffering is likely to occur (2:4—3:22): relationships with those who reject the believer, civil government, problems that will arise out of the slave/master relationship, spouses that do not believe, and finally relationships with people in general. The believer must be realistic regarding the world's animosity. A right attitude and submission to God who is sovereign form Peter's conclusion. The test: Does the reader's faith lead them to a life of holiness and trust in God that can endure persecution?
Finally, Dr. Baker points to 2 Peter as an instruction book to teach believers that they have been given a knowledge of the truth that should make it possible for them to add to their lives all the divinely-provided virtues listed in the book (2 Peter 1:3–11). The test: Does the reader believe that his or her knowledge of the truth is the essence of faith, or has the reader come to understand that this knowledge is a gateway to the Christian life that remains unopened if they do not act on what they know?
1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon
The key to achieving success in anything is to set reasonable goals and strive to meet them. The difficulty in striving to be like Christ is that we never can be like Him—not perfectly, not until we are made new in His image in heaven. Yet, the fact that we cannot achieve perfection should never stop us from anything good. So, the real question is, how good is good enough? Any Christian who thinks he or she has nothing more to achieve in godliness and personal holiness is utterly deceived.
These books (especially 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus) are often referred to as the “Pastoral Epistles.” The name is certainly appropriate since these books provide the most thorough statement of church government found anywhere in the New Testament. Paul’s combination of personal advice and apostolic injunction have set the pattern for church government for the past twenty-one centuries.
Yet, these books are so much more than official letters on church policy. American scholar Homer Kent Jr. made a career out of studying these important letters. He summed up his opinion of them, saying, “Not only is the content rich in doctrinal and practical discussion, so pertinent to the Christian life, but the historical, geographical, and personal notices make the letters colorful and intensely human.”
1,2,3 John and Jude The truths in 1 John are primarily for children of God. It is a family epistle. John also gives careful attention to the believer's responsibilities to be in fellowship with God. The book has in it both positives and negatives with respect to the behavior of the child of God.
Both 2 John and 3 John have themes of love and truth. Second John seems to emphasize Christian love with its foundation in truth. Third John, on the other hand, seems to emphasize truth with its foundation in Christian love. Truth is not absent in 2 John; neither is love absent in 3 John. Rather, it is a matter of a different emphasis in these two letters.
Jude's purpose in writing was to warn his readers about false teaching and to encourage the believers to defend "the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (v. 3).
A series of study questions at the end of each chapter is designed to enable the reader to study the details of the book of Jude on their own or in a group setting.
Revelation The book of Revelation is the most fascinating book ever written. It claims to be a vision of the end of the world. The reader is swept up into another time and another place as the panorama of the future unfolds before us. This final book of the biblical record is the capstone of divine revelation. In it, God reveals the great end-times drama that leads to Armageddon and beyond.
All of us are curious about the future. There is something in human nature that wants to know what is going to happen next. God speaks to that need in our lives by revealing the future before it happens. That process is called a prophecy of future events.
The author's goal is to help simplify the message of the Revelation so the reader can easily understand it. He surveys the general content of this great book of prophecy with a view to keeping the big picture in mind, rather than being lost in all the details. This coupled with a series of study questions at the end of each chapter is designed to enable the reader to study the details of the Revelation on their own or in a group setting.
The Gathering Storm Sixteen outstanding authors and scholars have come together to warn Christians that the storm prophesied in scripture is on the horizon.
