Acts 20: Fierce Wolves are Coming – Guard the Flock (Alexander Strauch)
$16.50A new study of Paul’s final charge to the Ephesian elders.
“Any church elder who does not know the content of Paul’s message to the Ephesian elders is ill-equipped to lead and protect God’s people.” — Alexander Strauch, author of this book on Acts 20
God has given us a special gift in Paul’s farewell message to the Ephesian elders (Acts 20:17-38). There is really nothing else in the New Testament comparable to this passage. In Acts 20: Fierce Wolves are Coming; Guard the Flock Alexander Strauch provides an in-depth yet practical exposition of this extraordinary portion of Scripture.
History amply demonstrates that the truths of Paul’s message cannot be overstated or repeated too often. The appalling, centuries-long failure to stop false teachers from invading churches can be traced directly back to ignorance of or disobedience to Paul’s prophetic warnings to the Ephesian elders. Paul’s instructions and pleas to the Ephesian elders are just as critically needed today as they were that day on the shores of Miletus.

The Hospitality Commands (Alexander Strauch)
$6.95Have you learned to use your home to strengthen the loving Christian community of which you are a part? Have you built bridges to friends and neighbors by means of opening your home to them – especially those who do not know Christ? In our self-centered era, a Christian family who fearlessly welcome virtual strangers into their home are such a rarity and a surprise to the world!
Strauch has written a valuable guide on how Christians must actively practice hospitality (“stranger-love”, the Greek word means) doing much more than merely laying the duty upon us, but explaining with helpful tips how to turn your home into a ministry to all peoples by extending yourself to bless others. Too few Christians today understand how dramatically they can transform their local church by imitating Christ in this.
