Seek First the Kingdom (A Study on Matthew)
By Christine Hoover
In the confusion and sheer volume of ideas vying for our attention, we must constantly return to the words of Jesus to find our focus, our purpose, and the foundation for a flourishing life. Using parables and stories, Jesus often spoke of the kingdom of God as what matters. In other words, the kingdom of God defines who we are and what we do as Christians. Learn how to find everlasting joy as a citizen of the kingdom in this study on the Book of Matthew.

2 Corinthians (Precept Upon Precept)
By Kay Arthur
Second Corinthians is a book about ministry, various kinds of ministry. But in the midst of ministry, sometimes Christians are burdened beyond strength, despairing of life, having fears within and conflicts without. How do we cope with those things? This book tells us how to be strong in the Lord when accusations and persecutions are directed toward us, how to have confidence in Him and not lose heart, and even how to correct those who are our accusers.
