Happy Independence Day!
This faithful and affectionate appeal to conscience, was originally published on a half-sheet of copy paper, and being only printed on one side of the leaf was called a broadside; probably intended to hang up in the house, or to be pasted inside the cover of the family Bible.
Charles Doe gives the date 1685; but a copy of this rare sheet, clean and perfect as when first printed, was lately discovered in the Stowe Library, among a great number of single-sheet poems, songs, and proclamations; a memorandum on it, in the writing of Narcissus Luttrel, shews that he bought it for one penny, on the 8th of April, 1684. By the liberal permission of Mr. Pickering, of Piccadilly, the present owner of that extraordinary collection, I have been able accurately to correct the very numerous alterations and errors which abound in all the later editions.
Reader, whoever thou art, but especially the young, this unassuming poem is most worthy of being committed to memory. It is a striking detection of the devil’s sophistry. Strive, as you value your peace and happiness, to escape the depths of moral degradation and misery, by avoiding the FIRST overtures of sin. —
Happy Friday everyone! Today’s free download, usually $4.95 is A Caution to Stir Up and Watch Against Sin by John Bunyan.
Praised as “one of the greatest living commentators on the New Testament,” Craig Keener has written two massive commentary sets, both highly praised and hailed as two of the best commentaries available on the Bible books of John and Acts. Both sets are now available for your Wordsearch library at our special intro price for a limited time.
Acts: An Exegetical Commentary
Acts: An Exegetical Commentary may be the largest and most thoroughly documented commentary on the book of Acts available. The four volumes are over 4,400 pages and cite more than 45,000 extrabiblical ancient references. An invaluable, exhaustive resource, Keener’s magnum opus will be the first commentary you’ll want to turn to when studying Acts.
Useful not only for the study of Acts but also early Christianity, this work sets Acts in its first-century context. Keener’s primary focus is on the social, historical, and rhetorical aspects of the text while examining how Acts compares with the events of history. He utilizes an unparalleled range of ancient sources and offers a wealth of fresh insights from his decades’ worth of extensive research.
Introducing the Old Testament provides a comprehensive overview to the Old Testament organized in a format that will aid your preaching and teaching. Filled with maps, illustrations, sidebars, discussion questions, and suggestions for further reading, you’ll be equipped to teach others how to read and engage with the Old Testament.
Decades of Wisdom
The authors bring decades of scholarly study and classroom experience to this work. Each chapter outlines the historical and cultural background, literary features, main characters, key theological themes, and structure of the Old Testament books.
Organized Visual Aids
More than 50 visuals are included in this volume, including tables, diagrams, timelines, and figures that are all listed together in the Table of Contents in Wordsearch. Each visual is linked to the page it appears on. This way you can easily find the graphics you need when creating a sermon or lesson. These images are full-color, beautiful, and go along perfectly with the themes of the chapters.

Research at this level cannot be rushed. The first volume in the series was released over 37 years ago, and work still continues on the remaining few volumes. The authors chosen to write these commentaries are leading Bible scholars who each have an unmatched understanding of the Greek New Testament. Each volume has been painstakingly researched and written.
In print, the volumes so far have over 11,717 pages filled with excellent research. As an example, the volume on Matthew has 1,245 works listed as sources in the bibliography.
You Don’t Need to Understand Greek to Use this Set
One of the best parts of the NIGTC is that you don’t need to understand Greek to use this commentary. Anyone with a desire to go deeper in God’s Word will come away from this work with a rich understanding of any given text. If you do have training in biblical languages, you’ll experience a deep appreciation for how the text is analyzed and exposed. But if you don’t have any language training, you’ll find the commentary is extremely readable and enlightening. Using the NIGTC often will help you grow fond of New Testament Greek.
