, by Sarah SundinHello Readers. Davalynn Spencer here visiting with author Sandra Glahn about life as a Bible-study writer. Sandra, please give us a brief overview of your recent release. Latte with Luke (AMG), number twelve in the Coffee Cup Bible Study series, considers the humanity of Jesus. Luke, more than the other Gospel writers, presents Jesus as caring about the outsider. In Latte with Luke, readers see Jesus’s focus and consider their own response to people on the margins. What inspired you to write this book? I love writing Bible studies that include history and archeology to help readers understand the contexts…
Who Are We?
, by adminOn the first day of a class I was teaching on how gender is expressed in the home, church, and society, I thought through the material I planned to cover. And honestly, I feared that some of what I’d prepared was too elementary for seminary students. Did they really need to hear again that both male and female were made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26–27)? Yet despite my doubts, I determined to cover even the basics. So, as I taught, I repeated what I assumed they all knew. But sure enough, a woman sitting on the front…
A Chat with Author Sandra Glahn
, by adminGreetings from Sarah Sundin in California! Today I have the honor of interviewing Sandra Glahn, an acclaimed speaker and author—of both nonfiction and fiction.

Love Letters from Christ
, by adminOne summer I visited sites of the seven churches of Revelation (Rev. 1–3). A congregation at each of these sites received a message from Jesus Christ. And while two thousand years separate us, their messages from Christ are still relevant. Ephesus: The Ephesians lost their first love. Think about this. Nobody has to tell a fiancée to avoid flirting. Her actions reveal her loyalty. Do your works give evidence of your love? Smyrna: Many think “Smyrna” is a Greek translation of the Hebrew “myrrh.” To make myrrh, one must crush a fragrant plant. In suffering, are you giving off…

Can God Use Me?
, by adminThe Bible’s Faith Hall of Fame is full of people with unimpressive resumes. God seems to specialize in using unlikely people to accomplish His will. Often, in fact, the least likely people demonstrate even greater faith than those who’ve witnessed God’s biggest miracles. Rahab was a female Canaanite (Israel’s mortal enemy) with a disreputable occupation. She lived in Jericho, the first city slated for annihilation as Israel came to conquer the land. Jericho was an evil place. Yet spies who’d seen miracles listened as Rahab was the one giving the testimony about what their God had done—starting with a…
