Powerful and Easy to Grasp Study of Romans


A Review of Rose Publishing’s Romans pamphlet.

Discovery of what God said and what it means for us today can be hard to accomplish with some books and study Bibles. It seems they want us to see what they see more than what God wants us to receive.

Paul’s letter to the Church in Rome has been instrumental in changing the lives of many among them, Augustine and Martin Luther two of Christianity’s greatest leaders.

This pamphlet’s primary strength is a clear presentation of the teachings in the letter to the Roman Christians so that we might apply them in our lives today.  I particularly like that it gives concise definitions to terms we hear in church but do not often use in the Biblical way in our lives. These include Redemption, Ransom, Atonement and Justification. The colorful format, design and writing style allow you to move through the powerful truths presented with ease.

I have found this to be much more than a simple pamphlet in my walk with God.
 Rose Publishing provided me a copy of this material for an honest review.
You've heard about salvation. . .grace. . .and righteousness in the Book of Romans. But have you ever wondered what they really mean?
Rose Publishing's Romans, a 14–panel, full–color pamphlet, covers these cornerstone concepts—and more! This convenient pamphlet explains each section of Paul's epistle in an easy-to-understand way, answering questions, such as: What does it mean to be saved? How can I live a righteous life? and How can I please God?
This pamphlet tells you what you need to know without losing you in theological lingo, making it easier than ever to glean wisdom from Romans by offering—
  • An outline of the book
  • Section-by-section explanation/commentary
  • Life application questions
  • Charts, displaying information such as the difference between "Dead to sin" and "Alive in Christ"
  • Key verses, themes, and applications
Easily access basic background information, such as—
  • Who wrote the letter?
  • When was it written?
  • Who was it written for?
  • What was the purpose of the letter?
  • How is the letter relevant to today's believers?

A Good Antidote to Rampant End Times Speculations


The Rose Guide to the End Times by Dr. Timothy Paul Jones is visually inviting, easy to follow and comprehensive.
Studying the End Times (Eschatology) can be very confusing. This book is a detailed study, which is a good fit for an individual, Bible study class or group and even as part of the curriculum for a college course.
I was pleased to see the author starts in the 1st 5 chapters focused on ‘What matters most when it comes to the end of the world.’ Unlike many books in the market today the author does not seem to have a pet position to further. He lays things out so that you may understand what is Biblical and how others in the church see things.
The sections on the Old and New Testaments put things wonderfully in Biblical perspective. The last section is enlightening as it lays out each of the 4 major views of the End Times in the Church today. This is helpful when hearing or reading about the End Times in that you will be able to discern which view the author or speaker believes in.
If you desire to understand the End Times you will greatly benefit from this book.

Gospels: "Lost" and Found

Who really wrote the Gospels? Was it really Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? Or were the gospels written by people who were utterly unconnected with eyewitnesses as some books and TV shows claim? Were the gospels written so long after Jesus' death and resurrection that they cannot be relied upon? Were there gospels that were included in the New Testament - and later removed? Why were these four books chosen and not others?
14 panels, fits inside most Bibles, Pamphlet is 8.5 x 5.5 inches and unfolds to 38 inches long

Gospels: "Lost" and Found gives solid reasons to trust the New Testament writings, and provides answers to Bart Ehrman's book Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why. Author Timothy Paul Jones, Ph.D., shows where the critics are incorrect and provides us with a logical, well-reasoned arguments for believing that Jesus lived, died, and rose again-according to the Scriptures. Now is the time to discuss textual criticism, because critics are bringing this to the public debate and claiming that the Bible cannot be trusted. It is important help Christians become better informed - ready to "defend the faith."

Dr. Jones' interest in this topic began many years ago when he came across arguments against the Bible. At first his faith was badly shaken and he wondered if he still believed in the Bible. But as he researched more he found answers. In just fourteen concise pages, Dr. Jones shows the errors in critics' logic and facts -and does it in an easy-to-understand style. 

Dr. Jones, professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has received the Baker Book House Award for excellence in theological scholarship. He is author ofAnswers to the Da Vinci Code and Christian History Made Easy Click here To Learn More

Jesus Fact or Fiction

With the constant assault of the Historic reality of Jesus such as the new book Zealot by a Muslim, This pamphlet is a must have.

The character of Jesus Christ looms large in the history of the world. This one man has influenced more people and cultures than anyone else. But the ""new critics"" and popular culture have distorted truths about the greatest man in history. In Jesus: Fact and Fiction, author Robert M. Bowman busts current myths and answers popular questions about Jesus such as:

  • Was Jesus a mythical figure?
  • Are the Gnostic gospels better sources for Jesus than the New Testament Gospels?
  • Where was Jesus during his "lost years"?
  • Did the "Jesus family tomb" belong to Jesus Christ?
  • Is Jesus just one of the world's many religious founders?
  • Did the early church twist the Old Testament to support its claim that Jesus was the Messiah?
  • and other questions.

  • Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth


    To say that this book is" fascinating, provocative, and meticulously researched biography that challenges long-held assumptions about the man we know as Jesus of Nazareth", Is pure cow excrement.

    The author's publicly stated credentials are questionable. His writing is creative as is one of his degrees in creative writing. His Assumptions are Muslim and anti-Christian.
    The sales blurb above is a misleading to say the least. He may have done research but we all know that the author’s pre-suppositions often shape both his selections of researched items and his findings. He brags about his credentials as a scholar, while not able to admit that his Muslim training and beliefs are anti- Jesus as the Son of God as Christians believe.

    Historically speaking his conclusions are not based on a full study of history but on sources, which question the truth about Jesus, Life, Teachings, death and Resurrection!
    Muslims do not believe Jesus is Messiah or the Son of God and this shows through in this Academically Liberal Anti-Christian Book.

    This book is a waste of money. This is A Muslim Not A Historically Accurate View.
     It is obvious that the author did not consult those historians who disagree with the Jesus is just a man crowd.  If you are given it use it to start a fire in your fireplace. That way you will get some value from it.
