Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Throughout his Gospel, Matthew takes us back to the Old Testament over and over again to remind us of all that God promised. Since the Fall, humanity had been waiting, hoping for a way back to the Garden, back to life with God and God with us. In Jesus, God fulfills His promises and shows us the way. Matthew will walk you through Jesus’ most famous teachings—in both word and deed—showing you what it means to live with Him now so you can live with Him forever.

LifeChange: Mark

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

When Jesus came claiming to be the promised Messiah, the Jewish people were expecting a powerful warrior-king who would throw off their oppressors. Instead, He served the needs of the weak and suffered injury from the strong. Because He did not fit their ideal picture of a messiah, the people rejected Him. Mark’s Gospel, probably the earliest account of Jesus’ life, shows us how Jesus upsets our expectations in order to give us something better than we could imagine.

LifeChange: Luke

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 1995
• Pages: 192

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

We all fear being left out, being exposed as outsiders. Jesus constantly encountered people—like us—who were longing to belong. Luke himself was an outsider to Jesus’ community, and yet there he found a new family and a new future. In his Gospel, we discover how Jesus responded to people like us. Jesus didn’t simply redraw the lines and create a wider circle. He erased the lines by drawing all people to Himself, no matter their social status. Study Luke’s Gospel and see how God made room—for everyone.

LifeChange: John

• The Navigators: The Navigators

• Pages: 224

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Who was Jesus—a wise teacher? A prophet? A fake? During Jesus’ lifetime, no one understood His mission, but by narrating a few carefully chosen episodes in Jesus’ life, the Apostle John unfolds the truth. Throughout the centuries, John’s portrait of Jesus has drawn men and women into a trusting, intimate relationship with the Son of God. As you study John, you can begin deciding for yourself who Jesus is.

LifeChange: Acts

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 224

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

From tiny beginnings among Jesus’ disciples, the church exploded into a worldwide force in just a few years. How? Jesus left His followers with a mission, and the Spirit of God moved mightily through them to fulfill it. Luke’s account of how the gospel was carried from Jerusalem to Rome—despite every conceivable obstacle—assures us that God will also help us discover and live out our mission in the world.

LifeChange: Romans

• The Navigators: The Navigators

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

What does Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection mean for my life, death, and resurrection? In Romans, Paul—one of Christianity’s first theologians—sets out to answer that question. Tracing numerous threads through the Old Testament, Paul shows how Jesus’ death on the cross draws together humanity’s collective failures and transforms them into a rich tapestry. Sin and death lose their power as we are bound up into resurrection life with God. Follow the threads and find your place in the story God is weaving into the world through Christ.

LifeChange: 1 Corinthians

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 168

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

The Corinthian church was proud and prosperous. For them, the Apostle Paul had a stern reminder: Genuine spiritual maturity is found not through status and recognition but through faith, hope, and love. His practical instructions concerning divisions, sexuality, spiritual gifts, and worship are still profoundly relevant for developing healthy, mature churches today—the kind that grow healthy, mature Christians.

LifeChange: 2 Corinthians

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 128

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

The church in Corinth was divided, and Paul, their founding pastor, found himself defending his ministry to them. False teachers had begun spreading lies accusing Paul of selfish motives. But Paul saw this division for what it was—a threat to the gospel of Jesus. Paul wrote this second letter to remind the Corinthians how he’d worked among them. He wasn’t defending himself—he was defending the gospel by placing both himself and the Corinthians under the authority of Jesus Christ. His humble approach is a model for every ministry leader today.

LifeChange: Galatians

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 1989
• Pages: 144

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Are you living in freedom, or do you feel imprisoned? Even Christians sometimes find themselves bound by religious obligations. Writing to the church he had founded in Galatia, the apostle Paul passionately rails against rules and regulations threatening to restrict the Spirit-led freedom God offers.

The same religious sentiments threaten us today. Whether it’s pressure to be perfect or guilt over failing, showy spirituality can hem in the Spirit’s horizons in our lives. Rediscover the freedom of God’s extravagant grace and a faith animated by God’s mercy.

LifeChange: Ephesians

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 144

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

What we say and what we do don’t always line up—despite our best intentions. Nobody likes a hypocrite, and yet we all can think of times when our words and actions didn’t match. How can we live more authentic lives? Ephesians is a letter about unity, inside and out. Study this letter and discover the strength of God’s Spirit to help you live and believe in harmony with God and others.

LifeChange: Philippians

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 128

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Despite being imprisoned for his beliefs, Paul writes a joyful letter to his partners in the gospel. Paul’s experiences give him authority when he challenges them to persevere in the work of Christ and when he instructs them how they can find peace and contentment in perilous times. As we read, we, too, can discover the secret of Paul’s joy and experience his triumphant confidence in Christ.

LifeChange: Colossians & Philemon

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 144

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Two crises in Colosse compel the Apostle Paul to write to the believers there, sharing his wisdom while in prison. First, Paul responds to false teachers who were belittling Christ, laying down rules, and boasting of secret knowledge. Then, Paul appeals to an individual believer, challenging him to imitate Christ by showing mercy to his slave who had run away. Paul’s two letters exalt Christ and affirm a truly Christian life, and they remain foundational for understanding Christ and His work in us.

LifeChange: 1 Thessalonians

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 112

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

The new believers in Thessalonica had maintained their faith in the face of persecution, but they misunderstood the second coming of Christ. Hoping to correct it, the Apostle Paul sent instructions about how to live in anticipation of Christ’s return. Paul’s teaching provides helpful guidance for all Christ-followers on what it means to live as a Christian in the face of an uncertain world.

LifeChange: 2 Thessalonians

• The Navigators: The Navigators

• Pages: 96

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

“Has Jesus already returned?” That was the rumor circulating in Thessalonica. Had they missed it? Uncertainty had thrown their future into question, their hope into doubt. Fear and anxiety hovered at the edges of the fledgling community. Paul wrote to restore their confidence and set the record straight. When fear, anxiety, or doubt threaten to set your faith adrift, 2 Thessalonians will help to anchor your hope and steady your resolve.

LifeChange: 1 Timothy

• The Navigators: The Navigators

• Pages: 112

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

For Timothy, pastoring the church in Ephesus was an overwhelming responsibility. So Paul wrote to encourage him in his faith and affirm his leadership and abilities. He also gave Timothy some guidelines for choosing leaders from within the congregation to help in ministry. These guidelines provide today’s churches with the most thorough instruction for selecting strong, godly leaders. And they offer help for today’s Christians wanting to grow as leaders in the church.

LifeChange: 2 Timothy

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 96

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Shortly before his execution, the Apostle Paul wrote a letter from a Roman prison to encourage his beloved disciple Timothy. Timothy pastored the church at Ephesus that Paul had planted, and now the church faced persecution from pagans, internal strife among believers, and counterfeit teachers who were warping the gospel. Paul urges Timothy to “fan into flame the gift of God that is in you.” Sensing that his own end was near, Paul’s focus does not waver. His last words continue to counsel and inspire all who seek and serve God.

LifeChange: Titus

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 96

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

The Apostle Paul wrote to Titus, a faithful leader helping to establish structure in a young church, encouraging him to help Christians put their doctrine into practice—to behave in ways that would “make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.” Paul offers Titus guidance for choosing Christian leaders and forming godly church members. His words inspire all Christians to express their faith through the good works God has prepared for His people.

LifeChange: Hebrews

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 192

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

In Jesus, the whole world received a complete picture of who God is—what He’s like and how He loves us. With His picture before our eyes, we can live faithfully—and not only faithfully but also confidently. Whatever blessings we receive, whatever sufferings we endure, we can look forward to the life God promises. Why? Because we’ve already seen that life in Jesus. Study Hebrews and receive the confidence you need for whatever hurdles you’re facing today.

• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 128

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Growing happens naturally. Growing up takes work. We don’t wake up wise, and faith is not a reflex. Both take practice. James, a pastor, confronts the confidence we place in our own capacity for wisdom and faith. He challenges us to instead receive God’s wisdom—freely given and available to all—to fill in what we lack. Discover the practices of faith and wisdom that will help you grow up into Christ’s character.

LifeChange: 1 Peter

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 144

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

How do we persevere in the face of suffering? For first-century Christians who were persecuted by their neighbors, staying focused on their “living hope” was hard to do. The Apostle Peter wanted to remind these hard-pressed Christians of their rich identity in Christ and encourage them to respond to their sufferings as Christ did. Peter doesn’t deliver abstract teaching but applies it to their daily lives. His words will connect with your own life, too, as you dive into his heartfelt letter.

LifeChange: 2 Peter & Jude

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 128

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

The early church had faced persecution from outside the community. Now they were defending themselves from dangers within. Internal differences were not uncommon—but these churches were facing teachers who distorted the gospel for their own gain. Peter and Jude denounce these for-profit teachers and encourage Christ followers to stand firm in the faith, secure in the promise that Jesus will someday return.

• Pages: 160

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Who is God? What is love? People have asked these questions for thousands of years, and they were asking them in John’s day too. Christians like John believed the answers were found in Jesus, but some so-called believers were leading people astray, questioning Jesus’ very identity. John wrote these letters to the churches he loved in order to keep them straight. With conviction, confidence, and clarity, John presents a compelling picture of Jesus—so we see clearly who God is and what love is.

Trace Revelation’s expansive allusions throughout the Old and New Testaments so you can decide what you believe about the letter’s “end times” signs and symbols.
