{"product_id":"bible-smart-matthew-q-a-for-the-curious-soul","title":"Bible-Smart: Matthew: Q \u0026 A for the Curious Soul","description":"WINNER OF THE 2024 ILLUMINATION BRONZE AWARD FOR THEOLOGY\n\nDig into over 200 honest questions everyone has about the Bible with easy-to-understand and well-researched answers to help you dig even deeper!\n\nStudying the Bible doesn't have to be a chore, and understanding God's Word doesn't mean slogging through dull commentaries stuffed with theological jargon. Bible-Smart: Matthew is an invitation to sit down together and talk about honest questions everyone has about the Bible. Every page is a relaxed, enjoyable conversation through the Gospel of Matthew. Covering more than 200 questions, Mike Nappa gives well-researched and thoughtful, yet nondogmatic answers to what you've always been curious about.\n\nThere is joy in discovering the riches of God's Word, and curiosity is the first step. Each Q\u0026amp;A can be read in under two minutes, making this book perfect for small-group Bible studies, young-adult ministries, or personal reading and devotion. This is a new kind of commentary for today's generation. Sample questions include:\n\nNo one seems to know what happened to Mary's husband, Joseph - why? Why does Jesus call himself the \"Son of Man\"? What was it like to live with leprosy in Jesus' time? If Jesus clearly promises \"you will receive what you ask for\" in prayer, why do so many prayers go unanswered? What does it mean that the curtain in the Temple was torn in two when Jesus died? Do we know where Jesus was buried? Do \"outer darkness\" and \"weeping and gnashing of teeth\" always refer to hell, or are there other interpretations? Why was Peter so afraid of a little servant girl that he would deny even knowing Jesus?\nIf your spirit is hungry, then Bible-Smart: Matthew is where you get fed. In here you'll draw closer to Jesus as you develop a greater understanding of God's Word—and awaken to the difference that makes in your day-to-day life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 164938033X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.164938033X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nappa, Mike\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
