Acts 20: Fierce Wolves are Coming – Guard the Flock (Alexander Strauch)
A 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 Shepherd of Bethlehem (A. L. O. E.)
Charlotte Maria Tucker (1821 – 1893) was a prolific writer and poet for children and adults, who preferred to write under the pseudonym A.L.O.E. (a Lady of England).
A charming tale which includes cottage lectures on the history of David, which the incidents in the story illustrate. This book is unique in that it weaves lengthy passages of scripture throughout the entire book. The passages are paralleled to the characters in the story, and they, in turn, respond to their life challenges according to God’s Word. Isn’t that what His Word is supposed to do for us? This was a story that I just couldn’t put down.
This is the 1st volume of the “Faith Pictures” Series. The 2nd volume is Exiles in Babylon, by the same author, and third of The Shepherd of Bethlehem.

Our Heavenly Shepherd: Comfort and Strength from Psalm 23 (Ian Hamilton)
Psalm 23 is probably the best known and most read passage in the Bible – a wonderfully reassuring picture of the believer’s life. Through it we learn the Lord God almighty is the faithful, heavenly Shepherd of his sheep – not only faithfully leading his sheep in life but also through the valley of the shadow of death – bringing them into his house where he will dwell with them forever.
Reflecting on Psalm 23 verse by verse will help us see how rich and privileged the believer’s life is as we learn how personally God is committed to protect and bring his people to be with him to heaven.

The Imperfect Pastor (Zack Erswine)
“It’s hard to imagine a book packed with more grace and insight into the extraordinary life of the ordinary pastor. So I’ll quit trying and just read Zack Eswine’s The Imperfect Pastor again. No one today shows more insight into the perils and joys of everyday ministry in the local church—a refreshingly honest and beautifully written meditation.”

The Lighted Way: Loving Words about Jesus
A treasure from the 1800s, The Lighted Way is well-named because its subject is our Lord Jesus Christ. It includes ten beautiful stories, each of which shed light on who Jesus is, with exceptional insight.
Reprinted from an American Tract Society edition from the 19th century, this is outstanding for family reading, especially to ages 8 and under, but the whole family can deeply enjoy it.
