NRP Freebies
NRP is making available all kinds of (FREE) resources to help make sure you’re hearing or reading the Gospel in all its potency. Not only are we culling the internet to get our hands on various sources which offer great works that we highly recommend, but we’re also going to be eventually offering our own free downloads, produced right here at NRP.
Some things here you can download, and others will simply take you to another page where you can read and print certain texts. We’ll also link to some things on different websites which are making things available that we find highly valuable in learning about, defending or hearing the preaching of the Gospel.
Please feel free to peruse this growing catalog and we hope you find it to be a valuable resource.
This helpful eBook answers the following questions:
- Why is the Bible not in order?
- Why does it seem to skip here and there?
- Why are there so many weird names?
- How come people say “The Bible says?”
- Is the Bible really a User’s Manual?
- If I keep a Bible around, is it lucky for me?
- Will I ever be able to understand the Bible?
- Why have I failed so many times?
The collectors of the Bible assumed that the people who would read the Bible would understand the chronology. That’s fair, but we don’t anymore. We lost it. We lost the context over time.
Pastor Wade Butler has spent a lifetime figuring out the order of the books of the Bible. But that wasn’t enough for him. He wanted to know the exact order. So, in this e-book he puts the Bible in order for you chapter by chapter!
Many false teachers over the centuries have been able to make good earnings on the backs of sincere people who cannot get over the hurdles that impede them when it comes to understanding the Bible.
Of course, the hucksters and charlatans have nothing to gain by putting the Bible in the hands of the masses, for then they would no longer be needed to “unlock the secrets” of the Bible.
This is but one of many obstacles to reading the Bible, and once you understand them all, it will make it that much easier to comprehending the Bible in a way you never thought possible.
Dr. Phillip Cary
Dr. Cary surveys assurance in Calvin and assurance in Luther. (Dr. Cary also has a great introduction to Luther in print which is a book we consider a must buy!)
