This year’s EMA books
On Thursday of next week, we've got two more crackers. They're our two new volumes in the Teaching… series.
Simon Austen has written Teaching Ephesians for us. Simon is our Ephesians expert and this is reflected in his excellent handling of this well known book. I challenge you to read the book and not be moved to think about a preaching series through the letter. In particular, Simon superbly guides us through the way Ephesians speaks about the realities of the church being in Christ, not just as individuals. Plenty of us could do with this corrective.
Angus MacLeay had a heart attack. Then he recovered. Then he wrote Teaching 1 Timothy. True story. As part of his recovery process (for which we're all immensely grateful to God), his church leaders gave him time off to write and he wrote for us. Teaching 1 Timothy is a book written by someone with a pastor's and preacher's heart. You can tell. Again, it is a great insight into this important letter and moves us on from thinking it's all about church order….
Both are available at the EMA for £6.50 and even if you're not planing on preaching these books anytime soon, they're worth having on the shelf.
