he word providence might seem hard to understand, but there is an easy way to understand the providence of God. Just think about an eye and a hand. God’s eye is watching over the world. His hand is at work in the world. This is what providence means.

Bible Study A Student’s Guide JON NIELSON
Real, meaningful Bible study is not only possible for students, but important. Jon Nielson takes students seriously and expects them to take their faith seriously. Unpacking five truths about the Bible—that it is God speaking, is powerful, is understandable, is literary, and is one story—he demonstrates how the Bible should be studied and how teenagers themselves can lead that study. “If you are a high schooler, read this book carefully and thoughtfully, and then loan it to your parents. Chances are pretty good that they’ll benefit from it as much as you will.” —D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Illinois

Prodigal Press
Confronting the Anti-Christian Bias of the American News Media, Revised and Updated MARVIN OLASKY AND WARREN COLE SMITH Despite claiming to be neutral, print and TV journalists increasingly report news from an anti-Christian standpoint. Remarkably, however, leading nineteenth-century newspapers reported news from a Christian perspective. This book reveals how the American news media shifted from a Christian worldview to secular humanism, radically altering what the media covers and how it is reported. “The media’s discrimination against people with a Christian worldview is a form of professional suicide. [Prodigal Press] gives new examples of antiChristian bias, which ought to motivate more Christian young people to consider careers in journalism.” —Cal Thomas, America’s #1 nationally syndicated columnist
