A Glimpse of the Glory (Studies in the Book of Zechariah)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
Someone has once said, "If Haggai is the builder responsible for the structure of the Temple, Zechariah is the artist who adds colorful windows of light." Though the prophet is fully aware of the needs of his countrymen just as much as Haggai and Malachi, he deals with those needs from a heavenly standpoint. The purposes of Judah and Jerusalem are being worked out by a transcendent God. We are all able to deal better with the problems of the day when we catch a glimpse of the glory of the Lord.

A Life of Soap Bubbles (Studies in the Book of Ecclesiastes)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
The gloomy pessimism that hangs over the opening chapters of Ecclesiastes seems to mirror the gothic-dressed young people in our shopping malls on Friday nights. Depression is the inevitable result of a life lived "under the sun" with no regard for the Creator. In his commentary, A Life of Soap Bubbles, Pastor Amsbaugh presents a powerful apologetic for living a purposeful life in the presence of God rather than a vexing life of emptiness.

A Snake in the Grass (A study of Genesis 26-36)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
Many of us feel that it takes great scheming to get through life. If we are going to get ahead, we have to grab the fellow who is in front of us by the heel and trip him up. Unfortunately, when we become a snake in the grass, God has a snake in the grass waiting for us. In this book, Dr. Amsbaugh explores the life of Jacob and how God moved him from a supplanter to one who has power with God.

Brought Down to Size (Studies in the Book of Obadiah)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
The prophet Obadiah teaches something about our Heavenly Father. God always disciplines with absolute equity. He humbles the proud. He pillages those who pillage others. Those who harass will find themselves harassed. Those who dispossess others will find themselves dispossessed. God always makes the punishment fit the crime. There is always a day of reckoning in the calendar of God. The Heavenly Father loves us enough to make us obey.

Cry Me A River (A study of Lamentations)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
The old popular song says, "Don't cry out loud." Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, would obviously disagree with the sentiment of that song. So would Jesus. There are times when weeping is not only permissible; it is necessary. In this commentary, Cry Me A River, Dr. Amsbaugh explores why God devotes an entire book of the Bible to lamentations.

Cures for Apathy (Studies in the Book of Malachi)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
When the children of Israel returned from Babylonian captivity, there was thrill of excitement in the air. They had returned to their own land and had rebuilt the temple. Fifty years later, however, nothing significant had happened. The great leaders, Joshua and Zerubbabel, had died. The temple had been rebuilt, but there was nothing to indicate that God's glory had come to fill it as Ezekiel had prophesied. The day of miracles had passed with Elijah and Elisha. Thus, the children of Israel continued in their duties, but they did so with very little enthusiasm. This was an apathetic age, an uneventful waiting period. The prophet Malachi writes to give these Jews (and us) cures for apathy. In his commentary, Dr. Amsbaugh examines these cures for apathy to help you in your Christian walk.

Dealing With a Runaway (Studies in the book of Philemon)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
We have all met people who are difficult to forgive. We have all had people take our good graces and throw them back in our face. How do we fine it within our heart to forgive people who have treated us so terribly? In Dealing With a Runaway, Dr. Amsbaugh explores the power of forgiveness by examining how Philemon was admonished to forgive his runaway slave Onesimus.

Father Abraham (A study of Genesis 12-25)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
Jews, Muslims, and Christians all claim to venerate Abraham in one way or another. In this commentary, Jeff Amsbaugh examines the life of this venerable patriarch and helps the reader to understand what made Abraham so great. In spite of his many mistakes, Father Abraham was mightily used of God. Our hope is that this book will help you be used of God in a similar fashion.

Heresy Hunters (Studies in the Book of 2 Peter)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
The modern-day church is becoming increasingly weaker in its doctrine. Teaching doctrine is not favorable and practicing doctrine is not popular. In fact, many churches have decided to abandon doctrine altogether because of its divisive nature. Today’s Christian must be properly equipped with biblical doctrine to combat the heresies that dominate modern thought. Every Christian must know what they believe about core truths and why they believe them. In this commentary, Dr. Amsbaugh trains you to be a heresy hunter. You will learn how to recognize the subtle differences in false teaching, and how to avoid being trapped in unscriptural error.

Iron Bars Do Not A Prison Make (Studies of Genesis 37-50)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
Someone has once asked, "If life is a bowl of cherries, what am I doing in the pits?" Joseph certainly found himself in a variety of "pits." His brothers threw him into a cistern. Potiphar threw him into a prison. And Pharoah threw him into an impossible job situation. Yet Joseph was able to see the hand of God in all these confining circumstances. The patriarch was clearly able to see that "iron bars do not a prison make." In this commentary, Jeff Amsbaugh encourages the believer to look for the higher hand of God in the difficult times of life. Like Joseph, may we leave the righting of our wrongs to God and repay the malice of men with positive good.

Keeping the Mission in the Missionary (Studies in Philippians)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
The book of Philippians is a missionary prayer letter, yet few theologians have commented on the missiological aspects of this epistle. In Keeping the Mission in the Missionary, Jeff Amsbaugh comments on the book of Philippians as a missionary prayer letter. In so doing, he provides a valuable tool for local churches to evaluate missionaries they are considering for support and for missionary candidates to evaluate their ministries before going to the field. This book is used as missions curriculum in several Christian colleges around the country.

Passing the Tests (Studies in the book of 1 John)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
Many Christians have used 1 John 5:13 to give doubting believers the assurance of their salvation. John says that he wrote "these things" that we may know that we have eternal life. But what are these things? This book contains insight into the three major tests or evidences of salvation delineated by the Apostle John. These include the doctrinal test, the social test, and the moral test. Do I believe the right things? Do I love my brother? Is my life characterized by righteousness? In short, does my life give evidence that I have been born again? Do I pass the test?

Pay-Per-View: The Double Cost of Pornagraphy
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
It’s one of the ugliest, most damaging skeletons to come out of the closet—the unaddressed “elephant in the room” in Christian circles. The ever-growing presence and accessibility of obscene viewing has added to the strangle hold it’s taken on many lives. For many people, the battle rages daily. With all the shame and addiction surrounding pornography, where can someone truly searching for help turn to? In this book published by the Sword of the Lord, Jeff Amsbaugh not only addresses the real threat of pornography to Christianity, but shows relevant steps to win this critical war. The stakes are high—this shadowed enemy has scarred families, ended marriages, and mentally altered thousands! Please, count the cost and arm yourself against this lethal weapon of Satan today.

Possessing Your Possessions (Studies in the Book of Ephesians)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
When the children of Israel entered the Promised Land, God already had promised them that this was their inheritance. All they had to do was go in and possess it. Every place where their feet walked had already been given to them by God. All they had to do was possess their possessions. In a similar way, the people of God today have already been given their inheritance by divine fiat. We have been blessed with all spiritual blessings. The Christian simply must enter into the possessions that are already his through Christ. Before the Apostle Paul ever commands the Ephesian believers to walk, he first tells them what they have. And this guaranteed inheritance is the motivation for putting one foot in front of the other. In his commentary, Jeff Amsbaugh examines the book of Ephesians in order that believers might better understand their possessions and walk accordingly.

The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told (Studies in the book of Jonah)

The Greatest Sermon Ever Preached (Studies in the Sermon on the Mount)
Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh
When a man comes to candidate at a church for a pastoral position, he is not asked to demonstrate his administrative skills. He is not asked to go on evangelistic or hospital visitation. He is, however, asked to preach. Pulpit ministry has always been considered an important aspect of the pastoral ministry. Some pastors are even referred to as "the preacher."
Obviously, there never has been a greater preacher than the Lord Jesus Christ. Multitudes marveled at His ability to present God's truth authoritatively. In his commentary, Jeff Amsbaugh examines "The Greatest Sermon Ever Preached," the Sermon on the Mount, to give us insights into the content of Christ's preaching ministry.

The Lion, the Woman, and the Dragon (Studies in the book of The Revelation)
James Lyons
It is unfortunate that so many people consider The Revelation to be a "closed book" beyond the believer's ability to understand, especially since it closes with the statement, "seal not the sayings...of this book, for the time is at hand". Written with the average Bible student in mind, this 484-page commentary builds upon many previous works to provide a cohesive and reasonable understanding of the book with a minimum of "patchwork" interpretations.

It is our prayer that this book will aid your prophetic understanding of God’s Word.
