Bible study lessons for your own understanding.
An Evangelism Resource
How do you share Christ with someone who believes that God is present in all of nature? When you speak of God, does your friend visualize a force or energy rather than a person? In a world where ‘spirituality’ has become popular and knowledge of God has all but disappeared, how do you share the good news of Jesus Christ? Just where do you find bible study lessons to communicate effectively to such people?
You’ve maybe tried to share your faith with someone only to be met with “I’m glad you’ve found your way to God but everyone finds him in different places and religions”. The Western world has been influenced by cultures with belief in many gods, to the point where the people we talk to no longer have any understanding of the Bible or even of who God is.
What would happen if somehow the God of the Bible could be identified and set apart in people’s minds from all the other gods that are followed? If somehow the authority of Scripture could again be established in people’s lives and Jesus Christ was recognized as the only way, the truth and the life?

Beginning by identifying who God is and what makes him unique, the author moves through Scripture from creation to the cross. Each chapter lays a crucial block into the foundation for a correct understanding of the gospel. Filled with drawings, maps and diagrams to help communicate the message, By This Name peels the religion off the Bible and lets the ancient story speak for itself.
