Book Description
God desires all men to come to the full knowledge of the truth. He also desires that we, as believers, would speak for Him. Everyone may speak for God and everyone can speak for God. In the Old Testament, when sixty-eight elders came before the Lord and began to speak for the Lord, Moses said to Joshua, "Oh that all Jehovah's people were prophets" (Num. 11:29). In the New Testament, Paul boldly stated, "You can all prophesy one by one" (1 Cor. 14:31). In Everyone Speaking the Word of God, Witness Lee encourages the believers to begin to speak for God by speaking the Word of God. For this he stresses the need for training and even a solid and systematic education in the Word of God so the truths in the Word become the words in our mouth. He identifies ten categories of the Word that must become experiential to us through study, prayer, and the filling of the Spirit. These include the word of grace, the word of truth, the word of the gospel, the word of life, the healthy word, the edifying word, the word of righteousness, the word of knowledge, and the word of wisdom.

Hundreds of millions of Christians around the world lack the basic knowledge of the Bible's teachings.

Stacey Roberts , "I am so grateful to have had a chance to preview this book before it was published, because it has truly helped me to appreciate the Bible far more than ever before in my life. I have never seen so many Scriptures used in any Christian publication. The beauty is that they are quoted right there in the book. Truly, this book will be helpful to all who want to discern the intentions of their heart. It will move everyone to an active faith and help them to see the significance of their relationship with God in their words, in their actions, where they fall short, and especially in their heart attitude. In a word, this is the best book on Christian life that I have ever read, and the information is already helping me to progress toward being a better Christian. Words fail me in my effort to tell you how much I appreciate having had a chance to preview this book!"--Review from a reader Brenda Kinsey, "This book has taught me so much, which has given me guidance that is really encouraging. It has categorically given me a longing for more spiritual knowledge."--Review from a reader Richard Martin, "Applying God's Word More Fully In Your Life has proven to be something special. What a magnificent help in developing our Christian maturity! The way in which it is written offers us to use our minds truly in harmony with the Bible. This is exactly what has been missing."--Review from a reader

Book Description
"I am putting my words as a fire in your mouth; these people are tinder and it will consume them." (Jeremiah 5:14) In the book of Jeremiah, not only is the vocabulary of "word" and "words" uniquely prevalent, but formulae marking divine speech also play an unprecedented role in giving the book's final form its narrative and theological shape. Indeed, "the word of the Lord" is arguably the main character, and a theology that is both distinctive and powerful can be seen to emerge from the unfolding narrative. In this stimulating study, Andrew Shead examines Jeremiah's use of word language; the prophet's formation as an embodiment of the word of God; his covenant preaching and the crisis it precipitates concerning the recognition of true prophecy; and, in the "oracles of hope," how the power of the word of God is finally made manifest. Shead then brings this reading of Jeremiah to bear on some issues in contemporary theology, including the problem of divine agency and the doctrine of Scripture, and concludes by engaging Jeremiah's doctrine of the Word of God in conversation with Karl Barth. The prophet's major contribution emerges from his careful differentiation of "word" and "words." Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

Book Description
God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.

Book Description
We as Christians can live victorious lives through God's Word. Victorious in the sense of positive living: accomplish goals in our lives, whether natural goals or spiritual goals. This can all be accomplished if we embrace God's Word. For the Christian, the Word of God is our life's blood. As Christians, our goal is to dwell (stay) with God forever. A holy conversation does not mean one says Jesus every other word. Holy conversations are uplifting. Our conversation should be reflective of what we believe. In other words, live what you preach or teach. It is the pleasure of the spirit of God (the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit) to lead and guide us into all truths (John 16:13). We as Christians can live victorious lives through God's Word. We can defeat the enemy. It comes from the Spirit and the knowledge of the Word of God.

Book Description
This document's purpose is to spell out the Church's understanding of the nature of revelation--the process whereby God communicates with human beings. It touches upon questions about Scripture, tradition, and the teaching authority of the Church. The major concern of the document is to proclaim a Catholic understanding of the Bible as the "word of God." Key elements include: Trinitarian structure, roles of apostles and bishops, and biblical reading in a historical context.
