The Gospel According to the Apostles

These study guides, part of a 16-volume set from noted Bible scholar John MacArthur, take readers on a journey through biblical texts to discover what lies beneath the surface, focusing on meaning and context, and then reflecting on the explored passage or concept. With probing questions that guide the reader toward application, as well as ample space for journaling, The MacArthur Bible Studies are an invaluable tool for Bible Students of all ages.

Recently, and seemingly overnight, the once cliche slogan "God Bless America" became almost a national mantra. John MacArthur gets to the heart of the matter by asking the questions most Americans choose to ignore: "Should God bless America?" and "Is America deserving of blessing?" Turning to the Old Testament, he presents the simple truth of God's word, his blessing has always had conditions. MacArthur calls the Nation to turn back to God by showing us how we can become a nation that is once again blessed by God.

John MacArthur is known worldwide for his teaching ministry and best-selling writing. For more than four decades, his work has been characterized by one important, unwavering emphasis: careful, verse-by-verse exposition of the Bible. 

Truth Endures commemorates that lifelong focus by bringing together twelve of MacArthur’s classic sermons, including “The Simple Gospel,” “The Purpose of Trials,” “Jesus’ Death Shows Us How to Live,” and “Making Hard Decisions.” MacArthur’s veteran years of ministry experience shine through in each Bible-centered sermon.

Forty years in the making, Truth Endures is a landmark volume that will be prized by MacArthur readers everywhere.

Moses was a man like you and I but God used him in a powerful way. From the very beginning, God was preparing him for the task to which he had been called. When the time was right, God thrust him into ministry.

He returned to Egypt with his family and a simple shepherd's staff. In the hands of God, however, little becomes much and Moses saw the most powerful nation on earth being humbled. What is That in Your Hand? is a look at how God used the simple things He had already given Moses to accomplish the impossible. Could it be that we already have all we need to accomplish what God has called us to do?

It is my prayer that this study of Exodus 4:1-5 will strengthen, encourage and comfort those who feel, like Moses, inadequate for the call of God on their lives.

In the distance, a figure, just barely a speck on the horizon, slowly approaches his boyhood home. He hasn't been there in years and is nervous about showing his face. Years ago he wished his father would drop dead, took his share of an inheritance, and lived a shameful life. With all the wealth squandered, his desperate poverty has driven him back to his father's house.

At the same time, an elderly man, distinguished and handsomely dressed, sees a far-off silhouette. Could it be? he thinks to himself, not daring to let his hopes up, refusing to believe his son would ever come home. But what is a vague, repressed hope becomes the undeniable truth that his long-lost son draws near. He runs recklessly to meet him.

Grace for You, taken from Dr. John MacArthur's best-selling book A Tale of Two Sons, explains the hidden dynamics of Jesus'  most well known parable, The Parable of the Prodigal Son. It gives you a brief but powerful look into the homecoming of the son, the unthinkable response of the father, and the often overlooked truth about the older brother who spurns his return. In these pages you will rediscover the depths of god's redemption.

In The Tale of Two Sons Workbook, one of America's greatest Bible teachers takes readers deeper into Luke 15 than they've ever been before, revealing insights into the culture of Jesus' day and a surprise secret ending.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) has been preached in every pulpit and is known by many who read and cherish the Bible. It's so special because it presents in clear and inspiring terms our struggle with sin, the need of our hearts to be accepted and pursued, and the Father's inexhaustible mercy and love. But most Christians would say that they've heard every sermon possible from this gem of scripture. That it has lost its luster. In The Tale of Two Sons, one of America's most beloved pastors restores the brilliance of this passage for the layperson, giving engrossing historical background and a surprise ending readers may have never known.
