Reflections on Proverbs - Select Themes for Christian Living
The book of “Proverbs” is full of practical “wisdom.” It can reshape one's entire life if he/she will allow it. In this little book, only 3 themes within the book of “Proverbs” are explored: wisdom, friendship and family. If one will spend the time reading God's advice on these areas, praying for help and deciding to try to do better, he/she will find that God's way of approaching life in all areas is a “wise” way of living. In this book, Drew Leonard includes various features (such as sermon outlines, worksheets and alliterated points) for the Bible class teacher or preacher and also offers a number of relatable and practical stories about “life” and how God expects us to seek to do better in all areas. Maybe, you've struggled with “being wise,” “being a friend” or “being a good family member.” This book, with the text of “Proverbs” at the “front and center” can help you! So, grab your Bible, your pen and paper and begin to reflect on “life” in light of God's wisdom in the book of “Proverbs”!

Reflections on 2 Corinthians
What is the purpose of “2 Corinthians”? Why is it studied so little? Why is Paul so sarcastic at times in the letter? Why does he mention his sufferings so often? How do saints “become the 'righteousness' of God”? What is “the veil”? Are marriages between Christians and non-Christians sinful? Who is “the offender,” and what “sorrowful letter” was associated with his painful work? And, what are we to make of Paul's “thorn” in “the flesh”? All of these questions – and more! – are addressed in this book. The argument that Paul makes in “2 Corinthians is tricky, but, if we give it some time and effort, we might start to uncover its' meaning, look into the mirror of the Messiah Jesus and make the necessary transformations! So, grab your Bible, your pad and your pen and begin reading “2 Corinthians”!

The Acts of the Apostles
Have you read about the events that followed the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth? Did you realize that Jesus promised to send “the Comforter” in His place? Had you recognized that the Holy Spirit came and moved the early church to take Jesus' Gospel to the world? And, if you had realized all of that, have you taught the the book of Acts to others before? This book is designed for the Bible class teacher! It will help you analyze the text thoroughly, make sense of the difficult passages and provide questions for thought and discussion. Several books on Acts get “muddy” in discussing historical details and mere facts – and this book does some of that too! – but its thrust is to focus on the theological slant of the text and to help us locate ourselves and our place in the book of Acts! So, grab your Bible, your notepad and a pen and begin a study of the Acts of the Apostles!

Exposition of Daniel
What does Daniel have to say about the resurrection? Who is Darius the Mede? What should one make of the beats that come up out of the sea? How should one interpret the “70 weeks” prophecy? Does Daniel ever speak beyond the days of Antiochus Epiphanes, or is he limited to speak about that era only? Who really wrote the book of Daniel? What are the four empires of the book that are really represented by the four sections of the image and the beasts? Who is represented by the “little horn” in the book? And, how does Daniel intend to use the phrase, “abomination of desolation,” and how does Jesus use the phrase in His own day? These are the kinds of questions that are addressed in this book. The entire text of Daniel is treated here, with attention paid to the major views that surround the book. In an understandable-yet-in-depth manner, this book will leave you with answers to your questions about Daniel's visions and prompt you to want to study other areas of the Holy Scriptures. So, grab your Bible, a pen and paper and study the book of Daniel for yourself!

Exposition of Revelation
Who is the Lamb-Lion? Who is “the Beast?” What is meant by “the mark” of the Beast? Is Wallace right about the dating of John's writing before A.D. 70? Is nuclear war in our future? Did John speak about the Roman emperors? What does Jerusalem have to do with the book of Revelation? How could John say that the book was “near” in his own day? Did Jesus abandon His promise to “come quickly?” What is one to make out of the “new heavens and new earth?” And, is there any real way to approach these questions with objectivity, or must one either engage in guesswork or trust what the modern “experts” say about the end of the world? These are the kinds of questions that are addressed in this book. The entire text of Revelation is treated here, with attention paid to the major views that surround the book. In an understandable-yet-in-depth manner, this book will leave you with answers to your questions about John's Apocalypse and prompt you to want to study other areas of the Holy Scriptures. So, grab your Bible, a pen and paper and study the book of Revelation for yourself!
