In this expositional commentary of the Letter to the Ephesians, Paul shares that the universal goodness of the gospel—the news of grace and truth from Jesus Christ—is not just for Jews but is for all people, regardless of birth, tribe, or nationality. And, in his letter to the first-century church at Ephesus, Paul gives realistic and practical guidance for how to live as one people of the gospel in words that are as relevant today as they were in the first century.

Of course we want to be full-time Christians. But that's tough to do. Wouldn't it be easier if someone came alongside to help us and encourage us? That's just what Earl Palmer does in this book. He walks with us, shares the joys and struggles of his own journey, and passes along wisdom that comes from his intimate experience with God in Jesus Christ.

Hype and appearance. That is the type of generation we live in according to Earl Palmer, a much-respected writer and pastor. Integrity has taken a beating in this modern world of ours, as we know from watching the nightly news. Even the religion world has had its share of scandals. Somehow our Christian senses have been deadened by all the gifts and noise. And somehow it has made our quest to live a life consistent with the gospel more and more difficult. But Earl Palmer believes that Paul, in the book of Philippians, has much to say to our generation about integrity in life; about living our daily lives â oeworthy of the gospel.â Palmer, with his gift for expository teaching, unfolds the insights of this short letter and offers them to us as a guide to the kind of life, full of integrity and depth, we all want to live for Christ. With questions included for study and reflection, this book is valuable for either personal or group use.

Every age needs its comfortable assumptions challenged by Scripture's unsettling call to live Christ's way -- hence the need for a fresh examination of the famed sermon of Jesus, recorded in Matthew 5-7.

In The book That James Wrote, Earl Palmer offers a user-friendly guide to James that is ideal for pastors and parishioners, for personal or small-group study. Written in a personal style, the book will enrich understanding of what James has to say to us today.
